The online insultssted for two days straight, butn’s side remained silent. His Twitter had beenpletely
overrun.
His mother couldn’t help but call him. Her health was poor; she would gasp after saying a few words, as if about to faint.
“Ian… mom saw it. You…”
Ian lowered hisshes and took off his clothes. “Mom, I’m fine. I don’t care about thosements.”
The woman’s face was pale, her lips trembling. “What’s going on? Did you run into a ruthlesspany?”
Ian smiled.
The woman was stunned. Her son had always been quiet, and the past few years had been especially hard on him. Her onlyfort in the hospital was watching the TV dramas he acted in. Although his screen time was limited, she kept reying those scenes. That was what kept her going and helped her live two more years.
“Mom, I’m really fine. What about you? Has that mane to see you again?”
The woman fell silent instantly. After a few seconds of hesitation, she sighed, “After all, he’s still your…”
His eyes shed sharply, and he chuckled softly, “Back then, he left you when you were pregnant. In the end, he still forced you to have an abortion because he was worried. If you hadn’t run away fast, I wouldn’t be here today. Besides, I was kicked out because of his wife. Mom, don’t be confused anymore.”
The woman said nothing. Her breathing grew heavier, then she hung up the phone.
Ian clenched his phone so tightly that the bones in his fingers turned white.
Then he slowly loosened his grip, his whole body tense like a drawn bow.
The crew member came in, “Ian, we’re about to start shooting. Are you done with your call?”
“Mm.”
He tossed the phone aside and walked out.
When the filming was about to end, his hand held a dagger, which was a recently used
prop.
He lowered his eyshes, thought for a few seconds, and then lightly scratched himself.
Soon, a shout came from nearby.
“Ian, you’re bleeding.”.
The crew got a bit anxious, thinking he might have been affected by the online issues.

In recent days, Simone had be irritable on set, frequently shouting, and the whole crew was in a low mood.
When she sawn was hurt, she clicked her tongue and immediately called Ynda.
Ynda was still preparing her things, and upon hearing that Ian had identally scratched himself, she assumed he was just distracted.
She took a deep breath and said, “Aunt Simone, please watch over him for me. I’ll be done here soon.”
She still needed two more hours.
Simone rubbed her forehead, “Ynda, this has gotten way out of hand.”
She had never told Ynda about the pressure she was under; she had invested a lot in this project–not just time but also money.
Now with this mess, it’s uncertain if the show will even air.
“Aunt Simone, I’m sorry, but this won’t affect the show.”
Simone sighed, “Okay, hearing you say that puts me at ease. You’re not an unreliable kid. I’ll keep an eye on Ian. Do whatever you want.”
Meanwhile, ra Aster lounged inside, happily browsing the online news. Every time she saw fans fiercely praising her and harshly criticizing Ian and Ynda, a smile spread across her face. She even exaggeratedly read thements aloud.
“ra, you’re the kindest and most gentle girl I’ve ever met. Those two scumbags will get theireuppance. Just focus on your recovery, and leave the rest to us. We’ll make sure those two jerks quit the industry for good!”
After reading thement, ra chuckled cheerfully, feeling refreshed. <fnf5f6> Follow current nov?ls on fι?dnοvel</fnf5f6>
She still couldn’t forget Ynda’s look that night, nor the cold touch of the fruit knife pressed against her cheek.
That night had left her so scared her legs went weak. She had never felt so ashamed before.
Finally feeling proud and satisfied, awesome!
She picked up her phone again, scrolling through messages one by one, while chatting with Tom Hayes at the same time.
“Anyone who messes with me, ra Aster, thinks they can walk away unscathed? Who do they think they are? Let this be a lesson for her. Oh, that brat isn’t bad looking either. If she dares toe apologize, how about I make her spend a night with you?”
Tom Hayes’s eyes lit up, rubbing his hands together, “Are you serious?”
“Why lie? The worse you mess with her, the better. I won’t let her off. I’ll post my misery online every now

and then–she’ll be begging me to stop in tears. Haha, such a waste not to use that face. Later, make her sell herself to earn money for us. That’s exactly what those rich guys like–innocent and graceful.”
Tom Hayes was excited now; he had worried about any possible twists, but it’s been two days with no word from Ian’s side. He must be panicking.
He grabbed a bottle of champagne beside him and started celebrating. “Come on, ra, here’s to our happy life abroad. Maybe I’ll even get into Hollywood there and make you famous worldwide.”
Though Tom Hayes was shady, he actually had some connections there, or ra wouldn’t have pulled him on board her ship.
She smiled confidently, her eyes gleaming with pride. “You have so many fans on Twitter. It’s your turn to speak up. Stir the pot a little more. After this, I’ll have Vivian pay me. Once the money’s in, I’ll contact Tessa Gilbert and have here kneel and serve you.”
Tom Hayes was so thrilled, he lost all sense and immediately posted on his Twitter.
He has also been involved in the entertainment industry for years and has worked with Simone before. His testimony dragged Simone down too, iming the incident happened with her permission, saying that as a renowned director she failed to protect her actors, and that Ian and that despicable manager actedwlessly, often bullying others on set.
Tom Hayes has over one million followers on Twitter, which is quite a lot for a director.
His statement only poured fuel on the fire, instantly raising the public’s anger to a new level!
