Chapter 554: The Long-Brewed Ultimate Move 3

‘What’s the big deal? Isn’t it just because she latched onto a rich sponsor?’

Suddenly, Shannon Paxton’s phone buzzed. It was a WeChat message.

“Shannon, I’ve got some juicy gossip for you.”

“What kind of gossip?”

“You’re friends with Melody Monroe, right? I wonder if you know about this.”

“I just filmed a show with her once. We’re not close, and we haven’t been in touch since. What’s the dirt on her?”

“I’ll show you a photo.”

A moment later, a photo came through. It was a picture of a child, a child who was impossibly beautiful.

“Who is this child?” Shannon Paxton texted back.

“Melody Monroe’s illegitimate child.”

Shannon Paxton was stunned! She quickly zoomed in on the photo and examined it carefully. Indeed, the child’s eyes and brows bore a slight resemblance to Melody Monroe.

“Who’s the father?”

“Who knows? Melody probably doesn’t even know herself, right?”

Shannon Paxton downloaded the image and immediately started sending it out. She was going to send it to every single person she knew.

This was the real deal—a massive scoop!

‘But why isn’t there anything about this online?’

‘With Melody Monroe’s current popularity, the media should be all over a story like this!’

However, negative news about Melody Monroe always seemed to vanish with suspicious speed, while those who feuded with her always met a miserable end.

Shannon Paxton wasn’t the only one who thought this way.

That was why a single photograph and a few rumors could spread so quickly.

The matter of Tiana Gable’s contract termination with Stellaris hadn’t been dealt with yet. Keith Coleman had arranged to handle it after the Golden Orchid Award ceremony.

She had also received the photo.

Cheryl Rhodes had sent it to her.

She was seated near Cheryl Rhodes and saw her talking animatedly with the people around her. Tiana figured it had to be about the photo.

She stood up and walked toward Cheryl Rhodes.

“Cheryl, whose photo did you just send me?” Tiana Gable asked directly.

“Keep your voice down! I’ll text you.”

Tiana Gable’s brow furrowed as she read the message from Cheryl. “This can’t be real, can it?”

“It is! I saw it with my own eyes.”

“But you can’t just go spreading it around like this.”

“Tiana, do you know why you’re being shelved by the company?”

“Why?”

“It’s not just about your relationship with Rose Shaw. You should think about it carefully.”

“Who else did you send it to?”

“I only sent it to a few people I know. But I have no idea if *they’ve* sent it to anyone else.”

“Intentionally spreading information that violates someone’s privacy is illegal.”

“Tiana, just pretend you never saw it. Besides, I don’t think you have any chance of making a comeback at Stellaris anyway.”

Tiana Gable turned and walked back to her seat.

She immediately opened her chat with Keith Coleman and forwarded the messages she had received.

At a time like this, it was better to tell Keith Coleman than to tell Melody directly.

The moment Keith Coleman saw the messages, he immediately called Tiana Gable.

Tiana stood up and went to a secluded spot to answer the call.

“Who sent you this information?”

“It was Cheryl Rhodes from Stellaris. I just asked her. She sent it to a lot of people. I suspect this information has already spread like wildfire.”

“Their tactics are despicable!”

They had completely suppressed the news online, so their enemies had resorted to this kind of tactic instead!

“What do we do?”

“Don’t tell Melody yet.”

“Okay.” Tiana Gable nodded, a little worried. “Can it be handled?”

“It’s a bit tricky.” In the information age, news could spread at a speed that was hard to imagine.
