That lump of something, a mix of red and white was a gruesome sight of blood and flesh. It was utterly nauseating to look at.

A vivid red liquid was splattered all over the ground, emitting a foul, rotting smell.

Miranda was also startled, but she quickly regained her composure and said, "Mrs. Fuller, don't be scared. I will clean up these things right away."

"Don't. Call the police immediately." Lenora covered her nose, limping as she got out of bed.

"All right, I'm going to call the police now. Would you like to call Mr. Fuller?"

Lenora paused for a moment. "He's on a business trip. There's no need to inform him."

"All right."

Miranda immediately reported the incident and the police arrived as quickly as possible. They collected evidence from the scene and took statements from Lenora and Miranda, assuring them that they would soon replace out what happened. Once the police had left, Miranda began tidying up the living room, spraying disinfectant and air freshener several times.

This prank was too easy.

The police quickly obtained the courier's information through surveillance and registration. at the guardhouse. By further investigating the courier, they were able to track down the information of the parcel and identify the sender. According to the household registration information, the sender was a minor and a student.

After confirmation, the police immediately carried out the arrest.

Once the suspect was apprehended, the police informed Lenora, and Miranda made a special trip to the police station.

At first, the student did not admit that he was the one who sent the parcel.

He was just a student, naive at heart. The seasoned police quickly found his weak spot, and he had no choice but to admit to the matter.

He also explained the reason for his actions. He was a die-hard fan of Susanna, and he

this matter.

Upon returning from the police station, Miranda couldn't help but lament to Lenora, "Kids these days are so mindless when it comes to their pursuit of celebrities."

Lenora asked, "Did he say how he knew I lived here?"

"It seems that his grandfather is the janitor of the residential area."

"Make it clear to the property management and transfer him somewhere else."

Staying in a narrow-minded state could potentially pose an unseen risk.

"All right. I'll go talk to the property management."

Once Lenora had calmed down, she finally had the mental space to check on the public relations situation. To her surprise, she found that she had received numerous replies and private messages on Twitter.

She clicked on the comments, and the first one that caught her eye was a remark under her latest post that read: What kind of lousy director is this, messing up the makeup and costume? Open your eyes and see what it's turned into.

The second comment read: Oh, it's Ms. Wilkin. We've been working together for so long, yet you haven't said a word. Your aesthetic standards are too high

MQ is not good enough for you, neither is Susanna. I think you can switch to a better company. Could you please let Susanna go?

The third comment read: If I am guilty, let the latu punish me, not subject me to the sight of Susanna's makeup. Spare the fans, spare Susanna. The fans are too pitiful, and Susanna is too pitiful. What have we done wrong? The fourth comment read: I've gone blind.

Lenora's mind went blank for a moment when she read these comments.

She read them one by one. They were mostly of the same nature, criticizing her.

Her Twitter account wasn't verified. It was just an ordinary private account, yet somehow it had suddenly received so many comments.

Under her latest Twitter post, the comments from a few old friends had been pushed down. The top spots were all occupied by the most recent comments. The first one had received over a thousand likes, and the following few also had several hundred likes each. 2/4 Chapter 29 Take That Bet

From their comments, Lenora could roughly infer that someone had shifted the blame onto her, accusing her of recklessly altering the makeup, which led to this outcome.

Lenora scrolled through Twitter and quickly found the source of the trend.

In the group chat of Susanna's fan club, someone had captured screenshots of the fan group. admin's comments.

They were naturally a member of Susanna's team.

The group admin posted in the chat: I hope everyone can stay calm and avoid posting any extreme comments under MQ's Twitter page. Otherwise, it may negatively impact Susanna. We are all upset about this situation. Susanna's makeup and styling were perfectly fine, but Ms. Wilkin insisted on changing it! She is the project manager, so Susanna had no choice but to comply.

Someone in the group asked: Doesn't Susanna have connections with Mr. Fuller? Can't she do anything about this?

The group admin sent a shushing face emoji: I can't say any more than that.

Following that was another screenshot from a fan group. A superfan had somehow dug up some information about Lenora: No wonder Susanna can't handle Ms. Wilkin. I found out she's actually the adopted daughter of Old Mr. Fuller and holds a certain status in the Fuller family. She's only twenty-five years old. Think about it. How could she possibly be in the position of a director at such a young age without some sort of backing?

Fan A: No wonder

Fan B: People like this usually think quite highly of themselves.

Fan C: Exactly. Don't judge her by her messy makeup. She must think she looks absolutely stunning.

Fan D: Do you know her Twitter account?

Fan E: I've got it.

"The unofficial Twitter post that Susanna's fan club account had posted had already garnered over a thousand comments. The number was quite impressive. Together with other fans, they all left comments and private messages to Lenora."

The comments section was markedly more respectful compared to the private messages, where people started off by insulting her parents.

After browsing through a few, Lenora decided to delete all the private messages.

So this is the solution that Lola discussed with Susanna's team?

To blame it all on me?

Lenora saved the screenshots as evidence and logged out from Twitter. First, she contacted the person in charge of the studio, insisting that they must replace the staff member who leaked the picture, and asked him to retrieve the surveillance footage. Lenora then made a phone call to Lola.

Lola was certain she would call. As soon as the phone rang, she answered, "Hello? Is this Ms. Wilkin? How have you been doing at home?"

"Lola. stop playing innocent with me! Did you do what happened on Twitter?"

"Ms. Wilkin, please don't be angry. I'm really left with no choice. Mr. Fuller handed this matter to me, instructing me to eliminate all rumors about Ms. Carston at all costs without. affecting the brand. So, I had no choice but to sacrifice you." Lola's triumphant voice came. through the phone.

Upon hearing the name "Mr. Fuller," Lenora felt a slight tremor in her heart. "Is it Mr. Fuller who asked you to do this, or is it your own decision?"

"It's my decision. But even if I did this without Mr. Fuller's approval, he wouldn't do anything to me once he found out. Ms. Wilkin, do you dare to take that bet?"
