Chapter 155
Even though the party was a good two months away, Rebecca was determined to be the belle of the ball. Preparation was key, and she knew she had to start early to dazzle everyone in sight.
The Yeager family.
Anthea had plans to visit Sarah's place the next day, so after streaming for her fans that evening, she called it a night. She indulged in a relaxing bath and some aerobic exercises before tucking herself in for a good night's sleep.
Without her live stream on, Anthea was blissfully unaware of the online drama unfolding.
The following morning, Carole and Anthea arrived at the Allen residence, greeted by Sarah's warm smile. Noticing Anthea's absence from the live streams the night before, Sarah squeezed her friend's hand and said, "Ann, don't let the haters get you down. Jealousy is a sickness, and you've got a clean conscience! But, honey, you should show your face tonight. If you don't, those trolls won't know when to stop their yapping!"
Anthea's stunning looks would surely shatter any ill rumors about her.
"What are you talking about, Sarah?" Anthea asked, confused.
"You don't know yet?" Sarah replied, her eyes wide with surprise.
"What should I know?" Anthea inquired, her curiosity piqued.
Sarah quickly pulled out her phone and showed Anthea a trending short video.
The video was a hit, racking up two million likes and over two hundred thousand comments. The gist of it was that a popular RealTimeFlow streamer, dubbed a 'cheating mongrel', was also the next shady Snow White. Nasty and ugly, they said!
The entire video was a takedown of Anthea, designed to build up Rebecca.
The comments section was a battlefield, with any fan defending Anthea getting virtually slaughtered.
Yet, despite the vitriol, Anthea's true fans tirelessly defended her.
Anthea's lips tightened, her expression unreadable as she scrolled through the comments.
A new video caught her eye:
[RealTimeFlow officially confirms the invitation of newcomer Griffin·YC to their third-anniversary gala. However, Griffin·YC has yet to accept the invitation! Is Griffin·YC feeling guilty about the alleged cheating scandal with Becca?]
Below, thirty thousand comments mocked Anthea, suggesting she was too guilt-ridden to attend the gala.
[My heart goes out to Rebecca, having to deal with such an opponent.]
[This is an insult to Rebecca!]
[Cheater without shame! A pox on your house!]
Sarah, fuming at the vile comments, comforted Anthea, "Ann, don't get mad. They're just green with envy! This smells like Rebecca's handiwork! Do you think she's figured out that Griffin is you?"
Anthea raised an eyebrow slightly, "I doubt she knows."
"So, what's your game plan now?" Sarah continued, "Oh, Ann, did RealTimeFlow really invite you to their anniversary gala?"
"Yes." All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
"And you didn't accept the invitation?"
Anthea replied, "I wasn't keen on the hassle of social events, but now that someone's so eager to have me there, I might as well oblige her!" Initially, Anthea was indifferent.
But seeing her fans fiercely defending her, she felt she owed them something.
A gala as big as this one? She had every intention of joining that buzz!
With that resolve, Anthea picked up her phone and started recording a video.
"Hey everyone, it's Ann here. I want to express my heartfelt thanks to all my fans for your support and defense. I want to clarify two things. Firstly, let me be clear, I haven't cheated. Whoever's behind this smear campaign knows precisely what they're up to. Second, I will be attending the RealTimeFlow third-anniversary gala on time and hereby extend a live, fair match invitation to Miss Becca! Let's see if she's up for a clean game, shall we?"
