Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Colby leaned in, his lips just meeting Sophie's when the bedroom door suddenly swung open. "Colby! Sophie! You have to see this news!"

Frozen in their embrace, Colby and Sophie turned their heads in unison towards the door, where Adler stood.

Catching the scene, Adler coughed awkwardly, his gaze involuntarily shifting upwards. "How strange, where has everyone gone during the day? I'll go check downstairs again."

As he closed the door behind him, Adler didn't forget to add, "Top trend on the news! A star from Reeves International, Aryan, lashed out at a fan!"

Hearing this, Sophie immediately grabbed her phone from the side.

Sure enough, the headline #AryanAttacksFan# was trending number one, creating a buzz all over the internet.

Sophie clicked on the top trend.

The linked video showed a fan filming at the airport, where Aryan was being greeted by a crowd, many holding banners. Although the airport wasn't overcrowded, Aryan snapped after hearing fans chanting, "Aryan, Aryan, we love you," hurling his water bottle to the ground and yelling, "Are you all idiots? Has no one loved you? All you know is to follow around, shouting love, love, love - love your mother! Get lost! All of you, get lost!"

A female fan in the front, who was about to hand Aryan a fan letter, saw it torn up by him instead. Before leaving, Aryan even shoved the fan aside, then stormed off, leaving his assistant behind.

"Aryan... I remember he snatched an endorsement from Reece, touted for being younger and more vibrant. Quite the trendsetter, now a top-tier celebrity under Reeves International. Never thought... he'd be the first to break," Sophie mused.

Colby, watching the news beside her, remarked, "Sudden fame can change a person, especially since Reeves International has been landing more and more

endorsements lately. Aryan was net

their only option for those

high-profile gigs. If he turned them down, those advertisers would look elsewhere. The folks at Reeves International wouldn't let those opportunities slip through their fingers."

"Adler mentioned Aryan hasn't slept in three days, and fans have been bothering him even on the plane. No wonder... I'd probably lose it too,"

Sophie said with a slight smile.

It seemed her move to have her artists share their vacation photos had indeed unsettled those at Reeves International.

Good.

The more unsettled they were, the more likely they were to slip up.

Later that afternoon, Sophie and Colby came downstairs.

Adler had prepared lunch, and Jenna was buzzing with excitement. "Aryan's lead fan has unfollowed him and posted a lengthy article!" Sophie asked, "Is there a scoop?"

"How did you know there'd be a scoop? You're amazing!" Jenna exclaimed, puzzled.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

"When your pillar of support stabs and insults you, of course, you'd expose them. I'd tear them down too, if I were in that position," Sophie reasoned.

Jenna shared, "Though the expose

was rather mundane, just detailing

how Aryan has a temper and his messy private life. The bombshell, however, was when netizens dug up that Aryan used to be in a homosexual relationship! He had been with a man for three years but dumped him after debuting. That ex attempted suicide because of it. Yet, Aryan has been marketing himself as straight ever since. This revelation has set the fanbase ablaze. The whole internet is boycotting Aryan now. I reckon it won't be long before the higher-ups take action. Aryan will be blacklisted as a problematic celebrity, and all the recent endorsements and collaborations will fall through. The company will be paying a fortune in breach of contract fees!"
