Chapter 2007
Chapter 2007 Isabel pouted. "Stop reading that."
Carla was still very upset. "But you're the one who fought for the female lead in Legend of the Goddess and the guest star spot on The Wonders. There is no reason that she should swipe them away! So many times in the past, you could have stolen her role but you never did it even once out of common decency. How could she do this?"
Isabel gently patted her head to console her, "Everything is fine. Don't worry about it.’
She was not going to let anyone take away what was hers.
Upon sensing her unusual calmness, Clara asked curiously, "Do you already have a plan?" "Not yet. I'm thinking about it.” Carla scowled. "Then, how are you so calm?" Isabel smiled and made no further comment.
The moment Isabel arrived at the set, Max and Marcus turned to her with what seemed like a look of sympathy. They must have found out about the latest news as well.
After filming a scene, Max said as if to comfort her, "It's fine, Isabel. After | come up with the script for my next project, you'll be my go-to."
Isabel smiled appreciatively. “Sure.”
Marcus also approached them and expressed with a sigh, "Isabel, | think you should take care to not get on the nerves of the wrong person in the future."
This stung a nerve in Isabel, evident by her scowl. It was not so much that she wanted to provoke people, but she could not help it if some of them had it coming from a mile away.
The day passed quickly.
After she finished work and was about to head home, she checked her phone and saw messages from the director of "Legend of the Goddess" as well as the show directors of "The Wonder".
Both of them had said something along the same lines, expressing how they were looking forward to working with her but that the unfortunate replacement of her role was out of their control. They were both apologetic about what happened and tried to remedy things by giving a transparent explanation.
Isabel thanked both of them courteously.
Meanwhile, Carla went up to her. "Isabel, it’s not looking good. The fans found out about Isabella taking your roles, and the two fandoms are at each other's throats.”
Isabel frowned and promptly grabbed her phone to swipe to her social feed.
It was an all-out war. Both her name and Isabella's were on the top of the trending page.
Isabella's fans insisted that Isabella was given the roles purely based on merit, based on her superior acting ability. Isabel's fans were adamant that Isabella had stolen Isabel’s much- deserved roles.
Team Isabella demanded evidence, and Team Isabel delivered immediately. They showed pictures taken by the paparazzi of Isabel eating at a restaurant with the directors of "Legend of the Goddess", engaged in conversation about the show. They also had screenshots of Isabel's friendly interactions with the show directors of the variety show, "The Wonder".
Team Isabella refuted all of these by claiming that mere gossip could not serve as evidence. They proceeded to slander Isabel and claimed that her acting skills were nothing compared to Isabella's.
Team Isabel refused to relent and immediately came up with a comprehensive list of all the films the two stars starred in in recent years, then compared their performance to prove a point.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Team Isabella refused to have it. They began to quote scandalous news revolving around Isabel, all of them stemming from questionable, fake sources.
Despite that, the scandalous nature of these news drew the attention of many people who were not in the know. Isabel's fans got very upset and began resorting to insults.
Things immediately took a vicious downswing, and they were now all hurling insults at each other. Isabel frowned.
Carla, on the other hand, seemed excited. "A lot of people are taking your side now, even the ones who are just tuning in to the latest drama.”
That was comforting enough to hear, but Isabel did not want things to spiral out of control.
She was also not fond of the idea of her fans being ridiculed just because they supported her.
