Unbeknownst to Isabel, the online debate revolving around her and Isabella continued in full swing after she tucked away her phone. Most of the people paying attention to the ongoing development were reasonable folks, but they could not help but start slandering Isabella. “Look at Isabella. She was being all high and mighty showing off about how she managed to be cast in ‘Legend of the Goddess’ and ‘The Wonder’. Just like that, the official pages came in and rained on her parade by announcing that Isabel was their choice the entire time. I wonder how she feels right now.” “Heh. If you ask me, I’d say it’s pretty embarrassing.” Not content with merely gossiping among themselves about what was happening, some folks decided to fan the flames. They quickly swarmed Isabella’s page, specifically picking her post from the day when she announced her being cast in the two shows. They bombarded her with comments, asking her how it felt to be disgraced. Inside a hotel, Isabella looked

Isabel promptly opened the door. Roland was dressed in a suit, standing tall and straight as an arrow. Isabel asked suspiciously, "Why are you here?" “My mother saw the news about you and got worried. She said she’s worried about you not having the appetite to eat, so she made me bring some homemade food for you." He held up a bag filled with food in his hand. Isabel's eyes sparked at the mention of food. She remarked, "Why didn't you just call me and ask me to come over? You didn’t have to trouble yourself with delivering it yourself.” Roland eyed her. “Do you want it or not?” “Of course, I do. Your mother made it for me, and you took the trouble of delivering it to me, so of course, I’ll eat it.” With a smile, she stepped aside to let him into the house. Roland carried the bag to the dining table and set it on top. Then, he carefully opened it and laid out the dishes one after another. Isabel was going to tell him that she could do it himself, but he had a

Isabella let them go on for a while before revealing, “I wasn’t the one who bought it. A friend of mine gifted it to me.” “How very generous! Who is this friend?” “That’s more than generous. That’s a whole statement by itself!” “Isabella, are you sure this friend of yours is just a friend?” They all cast playful looks at her while speculating about the identity of this friend. Isabella smiled, satisfied with the attention she was drawing from them. She said nonchalantly, “We’re just regular friends right now. It’s not what you girls are thinking.” Her friends exchanged looks with one another, concealing a deep glow of envy and faint hatred underneath their eyes. What kind of common friend would gift such an expensive gift? They were sure that Isabella had managed to land a wealthy benefactor, and it did seem like she was very fond of this secret benefactor of hers. "Isabella, I’m so jealous.” “Me too, I hope I can find someone as benevolent as this friend

Isabel was quite pleased with this. Not only did she not have to face ridicule, but people were even largely complimentary of her. She briefly went through the comments before swiping off to her messaging app to text Carla. She asked, “How much did you spend on buying food for those girls just now?” Carla sent her a receipt. She had bought plenty of food and coffee for the fans just now which totaled up to a humble sum of several thousand dollars. Isabel promptly transferred over ten thousand dollars to Carla’s account. Carla told her, “Isabel, that’s too much.” Isabel was very gracious. “Keep the rest for yourself. You’ve earned it.” Carla replied joyously, “Thank you so much!” Isabel smiled and put away her phone. Carla had been with her since she started her acting career, and she was a very attentive and loyal assistant. In addition to helping her with her day-to-day affairs, she would also help liaise with her fans. She more than deserved the bonus. "

“Yes. I have what it takes to get the Carter Corporation on my side,” Isabel declared with steel in her voice. “Heh.” Decker chuckled dismissively before interrogating her, “What exactly is it that you have that Carter Corporation would be willing to help you?” He sized her up a few times upon raising this question. Isabel squinted. “Keep staring at me like that and I’ll poke your eyes out. Want to try me?” Her voice was ferocious. Deckers seemed to be taken aback by her vicious demeanor. He collected himself and formed that same smile again. “Would you mind telling me who your inside connection in Carter Corporation is?” "No." Isabel shot him down, “But what I can tell you is that the nature of my relationship with Carter Corporation is perfectly legitimate. We are equals unlike what’s going on between you and Isabella.” A mere actor would prop herself on equal footing with Carter Corporation, one of the most prestigious corporations in Westchester? Who would beli
