Rebirth After Being Betrayed by My Husband (Lily and Ryan)

Finished

The online comments grew increasingly vicious as the post gained traction. Fans of Sierra, emboldened by the implication that she was unfairly treated, rallied around her.

"I heard Miss Sierra auditioned for the same role but got rejected," one comment read. "She's experienced. and talented, perfect for the psycho sister role. Instead, they picked a nobody. This is unfair-justice for

Miss Sierra!"

"Yes! Justice for Miss Sierral Why give the role to a newbie when a skilled actress was right there?" echoed another.

"She's not just a newbie; she's a disgrace," someone wrote harshly. "We don't need degrading people in this movie

"Exactly. This cast is full of respected actors. A cheap actress like her doesn't belong and will ruin the film. Replace her immediately!"

"If this is the standard of casting, they should make it an R-rated movie instead," another chimed in cruelly

"Change the actor! Change the actor!" The phrase became a chant in the comments section, repeated by countless users. Fans even went so far as to demand that Sierra be given the role instead.noveldrama

Sierra, watching the chaos unfold from her phone, felt a surge of satisfaction. Her plan was working perfectly.

Let's see how that newbie handles this now, she thought smugly.

What delighted her even more was the fact that nobody knew Lily was also under the Marvellous Universe banner. If her agency tried to defend her, people would just assume it was an abuse of power to protect a rookie. And with the audition tape destroyed, there was no evidence to prove Lily's talent.

Feeling triumphant, Sierra leaned back in her chair with a smug grin. She couldn't wait to see how this situation would play

It's only a matter of time before everything comes crashing down for that newbie.

Meanwhile, Lily remained blissfully unaware of the storm brewing online. Her full attention was on perfecting the dress she planned to wear for tomorrow's event.

This dress wasn't just a garment-it was a statement, her first bold move against Rose. Every stitch carried her determination, every detail her defiance. She refused to let anything go wrong tomorrow; the dress had to be flawless.

The sound of the doorbell interrupted her focus. She froze, glancing toward the door with a frown

Who could it be at this hour?

Carefully setting her tools aside, Lily stood and walked to the door, her steps cautious and her mind alert.

Lily glanced at the unfinished dress she was working on and then at the door, her mind racing. Quickly, she tucked the dress out of sight and tidied up the area. Scanning her apartment one last time, she nodded in satisfaction. Now, no one would have any idea what she had been doing.

The doorbell rang again, this time more insistent.

Ding Dong. Ding Dong... Ding Dong.

"Who doesn't have the patience to wait a moment?" she muttered under her breath, clearly irritated, Yanking the door open, she prepared to give the visitor a piece of her mind-only to see a familiar face.

"Sister Mia?" Her frown turned into a smile of surprise.

Mia stepped in without hesitation, her concern evident. "Lily, why weren't you answering your phone? I've been calling you non-stop! You had me so worried!"

Closing the door behind her, Lily followed Mia to the living room. She noticed her manager's slightly frazzled appearance and felt a twinge of guilt. Handing her a glass of water, she said apologetically. "I'm sorry. Sister Mia. My phone was on silent. I didn't mean to worry you."

Mia took the glass, her shoulders relaxing as she

w Lily's calm demeanor. "It's okay, as long as you're fine. Honestly, I thought you'd be upset-after all those horrible comments online."

Lily's brow furrowed in confusion. "What comments? What are you talking about, Sister Mia?"

"You really don't know?"

Lily shook her head. Mia pulled out her phone, quickly searched for something, and handed it to her.

Lily took the phone and scrolled through the post and the flood of hateful comments. Her reaction was unexpected. She chuckled softly, then burst into laughter.

Mia, watching her artist laugh, couldn't help but feel a mix of relief and unease. Is she in shock? Mia wondered. Who laughs at a time like this?

This morning, Mia had come across the post and the avalanche of negativity it had unleashed. The harsh accusations and insinuations were enough to break the spirit of most artists. On top of that, Director Young had informed her that the audition tape had been destroyed, a clear act of sabotage. While she already had suspicions about who was behind it, she had called Boss Parker and formulated a plan.

Still, she needed to see Lily's reaction. These kinds of attacks could destroy a person's career-or their confidence. When Lily hadn't answered her calls, Mia had feared the worst and rushed to check on her.

"Lily, are you really okay?" Mia asked, studying her face.

Returning the phone with a calm smile, Lily said, "Of course, Sister Mia. These comments don't bother me at all. Why should they?"

Mia let out a breath she hadn't realized she was holding. "That's the right attitude. You should never let ignorant people get to you. They don't know the truth."

"I know. It's just someone stirring up trouble," Lily replied with a knowing smile.

Mia raised a brow. "And do you know who this 'someone might be?" "Who else but our dear, unwell Miss Sierra?" Lily said with a mocking laugh.

Mia smirked. "She's really something. A fake ID, nasty posts, destroying the audition tape-does she think we're fools? And to think she dared to go up against my artist. She must be itching for a lesson."

Lily nodded. "She's probably waiting for a grand spectacle, isn't she? Let's make sure she gets one."

Mia chuckled, her eyes gleaming with mischief. "Oh, we'll give her a show all right."

"By the way, what did Boss Parker say about all this?" Lily asked.

Finished

"He was furious about the comments. He wanted to make an announcement immediately to clear your name, but I stopped him."

Thank you, Sister Mia. If people found out I'm one of your artists, it would ruin my plans."

"Exactly. We don't want to add fuel to the fire." Mia agreed.

Just then, the doorbell rang again, interrupting their conversation. Both women

turned toward the door. puzzled by the timing.

Lily walked over cautiously and peeked through the peephole. Her eyes widened

when she saw who it was, and her expression darkened.

What is he doing here? she thought with a scowl.
