Chapter 285: Chapter 285

This headline titled: "Savannah Lowell sells herself to sleep with business tycoon Mr. Sinclair," has garnered nearly a million shares, likes, and comments.

Even some celebrities in the industry have shared it, expressing shock and disbelief.

The entire industry, both inside and outside, has become a frenzy.

No wonder Savannah Lowell has been able to get great resources and major endorsements shortly after her debut, despite so much negative news. Turns out she had already secured the backing of Mr. Sinclair.

Flames of jealousy, envy, and disdain ignited in the hearts of many female stars, and some even exaggeratedly claimed to have seen Savannah Lowell entering and staying in the director’s office for hours several times.

"Why is she always trending? And it’s always for these disgusting things. There’s no smoke without fire, I think it’s all true."

"How could someone as high up as Mr. Sinclair be interested in a slut like Savannah Lowell? I bet she must have used some cheap tricks to seduce him!" ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by Novᴇl_Fire(.)net

Apart from the few fans who still believed in Quinn Lockwood, most of the public expressed disdain and disgust towards Quinn.

Quinn Lockwood was sitting at her desk in her room, reading through these comments.

Her phone kept buzzing nearby, giving her a headache.

All unknown numbers, not sure if they’re reporters or who.

She turned off the phone and tossed it aside, carefully examining the photo.

The photo showed her and Elias Sinclair embracing each other in a "passionate" kiss, but Quinn knew it was just a camera angle trick.

Based on the pose, she remembers patting Elias’s back, trying to get him to release her quickly.

However, they were in a car at the time. If it was a casual encounter, no matter how good the phone camera was, it couldn’t be this clear, right?

The only possibility is that this person was waiting there all along or was tailing either her or Elias Sinclair specifically.

Who could it be? Was it someone sent by Ariana Lynch? But what would she gain from exposing her and Elias?

While Quinn was scrolling through X and pondering, she stumbled upon a statement from her company about halting all her activities.

No explanation about the photo incident, no plans for what’s next, just simply saying: Our company has now stopped all activities and schedules of our artist Savannah Lowell.

The statement was signed by the public relations department.

Quinn sneered, understanding why this matter spread so quickly. She had never seen any trending news in the industry reach over a million shares.

And stopping her activities so directly, it was clearly an attempt to blacklist her.

Soon, Quinn found a photo of her and Jonah Hansen at the hotel entrance released again, along with news about her and Elias Sinclair’s "abortion" being exposed.

"Damn, unbelievable! It seems like all these rich guys have slept with Savannah Lowell. I wonder if they feel awkward when they meet."

"Stop ruining other people’s families. Someone like you doesn’t deserve to join a noble family, get lost, don’t disgust us anymore."

"No way to clean this up, a slut who sleeps around and a mistress who seduces other people’s boyfriends doesn’t deserve to be a public figure, let’s completely ban Savannah Lowell."

Pushed by various behind-the-scenes forces, Quinn quickly became the top trending topic, with such high heat that even paying couldn’t remove it.

The campaign to blacklist Savannah Lowell was also intensifying, with numerous netizens forming various forums and topics against her.

X system almost crashed due to the attention from this incident, with Quinn’s direct messages and comments reaching tens of thousands.

Meanwhile, in the office of The Sinclair Group...

A man in a dark blue suit with a handsome yet cold demeanor was on the phone, his expression somewhat anxious.

"Damn, could something have happened?" Elias Sinclair repeatedly dialed Quinn Lockwood’s number, but it always showed as turned off.

His gaze growing increasingly deep, the man pulled up Nina Sinclair’s number: "Are you with Savannah Lowell?"

Nina Sinclair, lounging on the sofa eating fruit, heard her brother’s anxious tone, thinking it must be something important.

"She’s upstairs," Nina quickly spat out the grape seeds and replied.

"Sis, sis," she called out twice towards the upstairs, thinking of telling Quinn that her brother was looking for her.

Before Nina could say more, she heard a cold voice from her phone: "Got it, I’ll hang up now."

Listening to the beep of disconnection, Nina was a bit stunned but didn’t think much of it, waving at the maids to switch the fruits.

Quinn Lockwood quickly tidied herself up and immediately found the backup phone.

"Brother, it’s Savannah. You’ve seen the photo situation, right? Help me check if the people behind this have any connection with the agency."

Her clear eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the trending headline, her expression icy.

Elias Sinclair used various media powers to try and remove the trending news, but no matter how many times it was removed, Quinn quickly got pushed back to the top.

Long, slender fingers tapped on the desk, his gaze sharp and cold.

Recently, Quinn has frequently been trending, always related to romantic matters, with photo techniques and narrative styles remarkably similar.

The dark gaze deepened as the man immediately ordered a thorough investigation.

Meanwhile, Cameron Grant relayed the investigation results to Quinn Lockwood.

"We found out; the person embedded in the agency told me it was high-level internal machinations continuously fueling the trends."

Upon hearing this, Quinn’s face grew even colder.

She had suspected it, and the person’s specific identity, she had a pretty good idea of.

Grabbing her bag and putting on a hat, Quinn drove directly to the agency.

"Manager Caldwell, what exactly do you mean by this?" Quinn pointed at the X announcement interface on her phone, her tone icy.

Evan Caldwell smiled with a hint of complacency, leaning back in his chair with his feet propped on the desk: "Savannah, it’s clearly written in the announcement, isn’t it? You’ve stirred up such a big issue, you certainly need to lay low for a while."

"But you really surprised me. I thought you were some chaste woman, rejecting me so decisively, yet you turned around and ran into someone else’s bed."
