NOVPUBChapter 1231: 551 Midnight_1 Chapter 1231: 551 Midnight_1 —— Damn marketing accounts, of all rumors what could be worse than claiming our little Sullivan is dead.
Why don’t you drop-dead?
Our Sullivan is perfectly healthy and can live for another hundred years.
—— This has been shared over five hundred times.
I’ve taken screenshots and sent them to the agent.
Wait for a summon from the courthouse.
—— My poor Sullivan, he’s so low-key that he became a target for these marketing accounts spreading rumors.
...
It would be nice if he could let us know that he’s safe, so we don’t worry about him.
—— @supermanager.ramirez what are you doing?
Your artist is the victim of such rumors, and you’re just standing by?
You seem pretty comfortable taking salaries.
Can you please pay attention?
This is slander.
Anton Cook’s most recent post on Twitter was from New Year’s Eve.
He posted a selfie from the stage in makeup, with over a million likes and comments, it became a trending photo.
For the past twenty days or so, fans have been getting by with this selfie.
Tonight, countless fans are posting messages under that tweet.
—— Sullivan, you’re okay, right?
It must be those marketing accounts spreading rumors just for attention. 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓅𝓊𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
—— Please appear and shut those marketing accounts up.
—— Fare are worried about you.
Even if you could just post an emoji, a word, or a picture, just to let us know you’re okay, that would be enough.
However, gradually, the fans’ defenses began to waver.
Even the most unscrupulous marketing accounts wouldn’t joke about life and death.
Although their motives are unclear, as Anton Cook remains silent, even his agents and assistants on Twitter remain as quiet as the grave, fans began to realize something was not quite right.
Anton Cook has already terminated his contract with Aspenite Entertainment.
Naturally, no one would do PR for him.
The sweeping forces of internet chatter were unstoppable.
The first marketing account to leak the rumor was reported by furious fans until it was blocked.
In a fit of rage, they released an audio clip from a secondary account.
—— You fans are just being willfully blind.
Well, I’ll grant your wish.
Anton Cook was actually a decent singer and had talent.
But his rabid fans are just too annoying.
This leak comes from your Brother Curve’s childhood friend.
If you don’t believe me, let your ‘Brother Curve’ come out and prove me wrong.
I’ll apologize publically and quit the business if I’m wrong.
I swear on this post.
Fans clicked on the audio.
It’s a woman’s voice, but it’s been digitally altered and its tone indistinguishable, making it impossible to identify the speaker.
—— “She’s the one who killed Brother Curve.
One day, I’ll avenge Brother Curve.”
—— “You can’t just say something like that.
Anton Cook just hired a lawyer to terminate his contract with the company the day before yesterday.”
—— “Did you see her with your own eyes?”
—— “Because he simply couldn’t go.”
—— “Aubree Groove, even if you’re the granddaughter of XXXX, I’ll avenge Brother Curve and make you taste the pain of loss.”
One part of the audio was blurred, but the name Aubree Groove was crystal clear.
—— Trying to fool us with a random audio clip?
Do you think we’re stupid?
Your scheme has failed.
—— It’s hilarious.
If you’re going to leak something, do it openly.
Being so sneaky, there must be something fishy.
And trying to dump this crap on Aubree Groove, do you think everyone is an idiot?
This is not a good look.
—— Everyone knows that Sullivan likes Aubree Groove.
Most fans are young and immature, and say things rashly, but that doesn’t mean Aubree Groove is not a good person.
As time goes on, everyone has gradually accepted it.
One day Sullivan will fall in love, get married, have kids.
He never relied on his fans, and fans have no right to interfere with his personal life.
If anyone tries to stir things up because of this, the fans won’t stand for it.
—— So this is what it was all about.
The ultimate goal is to smear Aubree Groove.
It hasn’t been long since the Dreamy Villa murder incident, and the Vivian Hayes miscarriage incident is still fresh in memory.
Here comes the old trick, doesn’t your face hurt?
—— Aubree Groove is the only person in showbiz you can’t black out.
This time the intent is even more malicious, they want to provoke Anton Cook’s fans to explode on Aubree Groove.
Unfortunately, everyone has heard the story of the boy who cried wolf, we won’t fall for it this time.
Idalia Powell scrolls through the comments on Twitter and can’t help getting frustrated.
Why do these fans use harsh words when they criticize ST Girl Group, but become rational when it comes to Aubree Groove?
The double standard is too obvious.
Idalia takes out her big gun.
She grits her teeth, takes the video she took outside the Hospital, and sends it to the marketing account.
Once this video is released, no one will say Aubree Groove is a good person anymore.
The owner of the marketing account rubs his hands together, looks at the video she sent, and his eyes light up with excitement.
No surprise there, I knew Aubree Groove was no ordinary person.
Just as I was about to draft the headline, the door was knocked on suddenly, the blogger annoyed said, “What is it?”
“Good day, we’re from the Property Management to check your water meter.”
“Wait.”
“Sir, a pipe has burst upstairs.
For your own safety, could you speed it up, please?”
The blogger sauntered to the front door in his slippers, grouchy and grumbling about the upstairs inconvenience.
The door had barely opened a crack when it was forcefully pushed wide open, and two men in black barged in, pinning him to the floor.
The blogger was dazed, managing to yell out: “Home invasion!”
He saw a pair of brightly polished shoes step inside, stopping in front of him.
Unable to resist looking up, he saw a cold, vicious face.
“Who…
Who are you?
Do you know that this is against the law?
I’ll sue you.
Let me tell you, I have millions of followers online.
If you dare to lay a finger on me, my fans won’t spare you.”
The man looked scornful and contemptuous.
There were three computers in the study.
The man checked each one.
As he saw the tweet that hadn’t yet been sent, a chill flashed in his eyes.
In the backend private message section, he found the sender’s ID.
“Trace this person’s IP address immediately.”
His subordinate started typing on the keyboard, and in less than half a minute, the address was locked down.
Finnian sneered, “What a fool.
Destroy everything here and take this person away.”
By now, the blogger had realized that his intruders were a big deal, people he absolutely could not afford to offend, and he started pleading for mercy.
Finnian cast a cold glance at him, “In your line of work, one should know better not to cross certain people.
Unfortunately for you, both Mr.
Cook and Ms.
Aubree are not to be trifled with.
Take him away.”
Upon leaving the housing complex, Finnian made a call, “Master McKay, I’ve traced the source.
It leads back to Stella White.”
“The Whites?
I recall Caleb White’s wife is a cousin of Virginia Frost.
Looks like it’s time to settle the score.”
Finnian agreed, “What about the news of Anton Cook circulating online, should that be suppressed too?”
“Anton Cook did save our Rinto family.
Consider it a favor to the Cooks and handle the online situation as well.”
After hanging up, Finnian walked towards a sedan parked by the roadside.
Steven respectfully opened the door, “Finnian, where are we off to next?”
“I heard you have been having a hard time dealing with Alexander White?”
Steven glared, “That jerk, all he has is the backing of the Whites.
I swallowed it when he bullied me but he nearly wreaked havoc on our mistress last time.
The mistress let him off out of kindness, but I still remember the score.”
“Today, we’ll settle that score.” Finnian said light-heartedly, but Steven picked up a hint of ruthlessness in his words.
Steven was excited, “Finally, it’s time for action.
Don’t worry, Finnian, this time we’ll take back everything, with interest.”
Finnian called the Public Relations department to take care of all the online posts regarding Aubree and Anton, but soon after he received a call from a woman who instantly started berating him.
“You’re just making matters worse.
Do you think cleaning up all the internet posts will solve everything?
Can you control the curiosity of over a billion people in the country?
People have a rebellious streak.
The more you delete, the more curious they become.
And all this covering up only raises suspicion.
You deal with those bastards, leave the internet to me.
And let me warn you again, don’t be a hindrance.”
Once she finished, she quickly hung up the phone.
Finnian, who had just been verbally assaulted, was dumbfounded.
Who was this person?
Soon, Agave Rinto called him, instructing him not to worry about online public opinion and to concentrate on dealing with the troublemakers.
Idalia was lying on her bed, dreaming.
She dreamed of being famous, of becoming a superstar, of walking the red carpet, preparing to receive the Best Actress award.
A bucket of cold water splashed on her face, and she woke up abruptly.
