Chapter 2714“Perhaps I offended too many people tonight,” Harmony remarked. Many were secretly jealous of her
getting this award. In this circle, the resources were limited. She took some of it, which naturally meant
someone else got less.
Hence, it was customary for people to attack her.
Several factions of internet ghostwriters were vehemently attacking her, causing her to trend as the top
topic, titled “Digging Deep into the Rising Star’s Past.” Clicking into the content would reveal Harmony’s
embarrassing moments from her early acting days. It was critiqued one by one, almost as if they aimed
to vilify her publicly.
Catalina sat in her car and admired the handiwork funded by herself, feeling proud. Reuben remained
silent while sitting beside her. Tonight, he felt quite discontented too. Harmony receiving the award felt
like an unseen blow to him.
“Don’t look so down! Harmony won’t be able to hold on for much longer,” Catalina said to him.
“Didn’t you see the way that man treated her tonight? He’s definitely going to promote her. Catalina,
aren’t you quite resourceful? Why haven’t you pulled her down?” Reuben asked.
Catalina sneered. “Why are you in such a hurry?
Do you think I can’t handle a minor figure like Harmony?” “You better make her leave this circle. I feel
sick just seeing her,” he said in frustration.
She glanced at him and suddenly realized something. She seemed to have done Harmony a favor by
eliminating a tasteless and graceless jerk for her.
Instead, he ended up in her hands. She couldn’t shake him off now.novelbinDarn it!
She had inadvertently done a good deed, which allowed Harmony to meet someone like Ezekiel.
Back at the hotel, Ezekiel was handling work- related matters. Meanwhile, his assistant, Mars Holand,
was surfing the internet. Soon, he stumbled upon some information and murmured, “Why is Miss Mayo
being criticized so harshly?” Ezekiel paused from his work and reached out. “Who’s criticizing her?”
“The netizens! Did she offend someone by winning the award tonight?” Ezekiel stopped what he was
doing and gestured. “Show me.” Mars immediately handed over the tablet. Ezekiel browsed through a
post about Harmony by the anti-fan, which was filled with malicious language. He was ridiculing
Harmony’s education and her family background.
At that moment, a line of text struck directly at his heart, causing his pupils to dilate.
She was an orphan!
Ezekiel had thought Harmony came from an ordinary family background, at least with both parents
alive. But unexpectedly, he stumbled upon her background online and learned that both her parents
were deceased.
‘She’s a jinx who causes misfortune to those around her. She’s destined to be alone and without
support. It was a netizen’s comment about her.
Upon seeing this sentence, Ezekiel felt a surge of anger. Harmony had already suffered the loss of
both her parents, yet these people were using her pain to attack her.
“Mars, contact Dan’s crew and tell them to come to Averna for promotion this time. I want him to bring
the lead actors here and join Harmony for the promotion.” “Wow! Miss Mayo’s status will be elevated to
that of an international movie star with just a word from you.” Mars chuckled and then asked nosily, “Mr.Weiss, do you like Miss Mayo?” “Don’t pry into my personal matters. Follow my instructions and get it
done by next month.” “Understood. I’ll make sure to boost Miss Mayo’s popularity for you.” Ezekiel
continued to scroll through the tablet and ignored the hateful comments.
He saw a glimpse of Harmony’s struggles in this circle, from her early days facing various hardships to
her simultaneous filming and rigorous efforts to enroll in the film academy. He could see she was a
hardworking and determined individual.
Such a person shouldn’t be subjected to malicious attacks even if she was not praised by others.
