The Heiress Strikes Back

260 Yumi’s Crisis

There was nothing wrong with looking at the two news articles individually, but when they were combined, people couldn’t help but wonder if Sharon was a promiscuous person. Her husband had just gotten into an accident, and now, there was a scandal with a big shot.

Looking at the fake news, Whitney and Yumi finally understood what it meant to be famous. Some brainless fans kept asking the two of them to get together quickly, while others kept scolding Sharon for being crazy. They were really speechless when they saw the news.

“Alright, the production team is going to announce the next round’s details today. We should go down first and not waste time.” Sharon didn’t want to care about that nonsense and walked down with Whitney and Yumi.

Just as they reached the bottom of the stairs, Xenia suddenly stopped Sharon. “The three of you are really close; you’re even walking down together now. Sharon, have you seen the news online recently?”

The day after the news exploded online, Xenia received an official letter from RC. On the surface, they were saying that they had to take into account their relationship with their customers, but they were both protecting Sharon.

And that Mr. Theodore actually dug out another side of Sharon. He didn’t expect the latter to be such a flirtatious person.

“I didn’t pay much attention to it,” Sharon said frankly. She really didn’t pay much attention to these things, not to mention that this was a special period.

“Is your husband really sick?” Xenia asked.

Sharon didn’t care much about what she said and just walked toward the seat prepared by the production team.

After a while, the production crew and Levi walked over with the third round of program cards in their hands. “Everyone, it’s not easy to get this far, so I won’t make things difficult for everyone in the competition’s third round. We don’t need you all to show off your dancing, piano playing, or acting skills. We’re competing in fashion this time.”

As soon as Levi finished speaking, everyone gasped.

“There are 15 of us left now, so we are divided into three groups. There are three themes in this fashion competition. The first group is the night of the stars; the second group is the street fashion competition; the third group is the fantasy fairy tale. Everyone needs to draw lots to decide which group you will appear in, and the selection of clothes is based on the previous ranking.”

After a brief exchange, everyone decided to go back to their rooms to get ready. On the way back, Whitney muttered about not getting put in the first group and the third group, and Yumi was nervous about the second group.

Sharon wasn’t too worried. After all, she had tried these three prompts before. As a model, I have to showcase my performance in the next scene fully.

“We’ll go back first then. You should hurry to your room too.” Sharon and Whitney watched Yumi leave, but they didn’t know that another piece of news had already made it to the hot searches.

“What’s the most important ability to be the center of attention? Looks? Words or business standards? We’re not professional models, singers, or actors. The two of us rely on our fans to fight. I think you’re also racking your brains to think of how to get more love from the audience, right?” Just as Yumi was about to enter the room, a voice suddenly sounded beside her.

“Huh?” Yumi turned around and met Anna’s fair face.

Anna stood beside her. They were about the same height, both small and fair.

Anna raised her hand and patted Yumi’s head. “So who do you think you are? Do you think you’re so great just because you hooked up with Sharon and the Werner family’s daughter?”

Anna changed the topic, and her voice became fierce. “Take a good look at this! This news is enough to kill you. Yumi, you’re too careless.”

Yumi looked at the phone she handed over. On it was the news: ‘the innocent civilian goddess went to an underground place and was suspected of selling her body for money.’

Yumi began to sway uncontrollably. How is this possible? Anna is the only one who knows about this, and the whole story isn’t like this at all. It was only that my father had drunk too much at the underground place that day and owed a lot of money due to gambling that the show agreed to let me out.

Before I left, Anna saw me. I explained everything seriously, and I even told Anna where I was going... She even promised me that she would keep it a secret... Yumi felt like she had been struck by lightning. This photo happens to be the entrance to that underground place. Why...

In an instant, Yumi felt like she was being torn apart. Apart from Sharon and Gena, Anna was the person she trusted the most in this casting selection. At first, it was Anna who expressed goodwill to her, but now, she was the one who harmed her.

“Why... Why did you follow me and take photos...”
