Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet? novel Chapter 194

Of course, nobody was going to let her go that easily. They tried to follow, but the staff blocked their way.

Seeing that they couldn’t get an interview with Natalia, they shifted their focus to Jessica.

“Miss Jessica, you’re in the same cast group as Miss Natalia and you’re sisters to boot. Did you know about the accident of her getting drugged?”

There was quite a show going on with Jessica’s expressions right now.

She smiled forcefully and didn’t dare say that she didn’t know about it. After all, a few days ago, they’d put out the news that they’d made up. Now that something this big had happened to Natalia, if she said she didn’t know anything about it, they’d think the news from before was just a sham.

Finally, she chuckled stiffly and said, “Of course I knew about that. My sister didn’t want to say too much, so I don’t have all the details.”

“Who do you think wants to do her harm, then? Do you have any suspects in mind?”

“Yeah! You’re in the same cast, so you should know each other pretty well, right?”

Jessica clenched her fists and faced the camera, her eyes shifting uncomfortably.

Now she was the one getting surrounded by media. She wasn’t like Natalia and didn’t have a bodyguard like Nancy to open a way, so she could only stand there awkwardly.

Resentfully, she wondered where the hell Rosa had gone for so long.

Finally, with the help of security hired by the cast, she finally escaped the reporters’ questioning.

Seeing that they couldn’t get an answer from Jessica, either, they turned their focus to the man involved in the incident, Vicente Langes.

But Vicente was famous for his bad temper. Faced with the tabloids’ questioning, he didn’t give them anything definite, either.

All he said was that if they wanted to know so badly, they could just go and ask the police when the case was solved, so what were they doing asking him?

He was the victim here, did he have to help clear things for the media?

With that, he left with a cold expression on his face.

The reporters didn’t get the answer they wanted, but they hadn’t left with nothing.

That afternoon, Jessica’s stumbling performance first leaked to the internet.

Followed quickly by cuts of the interviews about the photos with Natalia and Jessica.

The problem here was the timing. The first scenes to come out were the ones of Jessica’s performance. Most people were surprised and disappointed.

“Didn’t Jessica Dawson win the best actress? Why is she this crappy? I heard the character should be a strong and tough woman originally. Even though she’s now a deposed Empress, and she can’t show that strong side too much if she wants to live, that performance was way too weak!”

“Yeah, I read about this character when they introduced her with the script. And her crying is way too fake! Not even a tear.”

“Is that all a movie star is capable of these days? If that’s the case, I feel like I could be a movie star.”

“Please! Movie star? More like a trash actress.”

“What are you talking about? Jessica got her award with ability. You just sound like you’re jealous!”

“Pfft, ability? Give me a break! I’m not buying any of it.”

“Yeah, everyone knows what happened when they were electing for the awards. She’d been about a hundred thousand votes away from first place in the last thirty seconds, but then she got all hundred thousand votes within those thirty seconds. Heh, they said the votes were calculated by machine, but I will buy it if you just say they wrote it out of thin air!”

“Don’t bullshit if you don’t have proof! Jessica got her award fair and square, if you can’t accept it, you should take it up with the host, so what are you yapping about here?”

“Yeah, you just have issues with Jessica, that’s why you’re insulting her like this!”

“We have issues? What a joke! Your queen is now playing second fiddle on a web series, is she even worth insulting?”

“She really thinks she’s a first-rate actress! You braindead fans are the only people standing up for her. Take a look at the absolute state she’s in with the entertainment industry!”

“Don’t spew that junk. Jessica’s just getting involved in this series to support her garbage human being of a sister.”

“Yeah, Jessica’s a stand-up gal. If it hadn’t been to support her, why would she take a net series with such a low production?”

“Enough with the flaming! Jessica’s pure, cute, gentle and kind, she doesn’t need your approval or your liking.”

“If you really don’t know, go check out the interviews from before, she outright admitted she only took this show because of her sister!”

“Unbelievable that you’re framing her kindness like this!”

Someone retorted, “You’re all saying that, but have you even seen what Natalia said in person?”

“Yeah, she says she’s taking it up for her sister, and you just believe it? You haven’t forgotten all about the scandal from years back, right?”

“Man! Those braindead fans really have them heavy rose-tinted glasses on with a healthy dose of nostalgia. If you’ve got the time to mouth off here, you should go have your brains checked!”

The internet started squabbling. Meanwhile, Natalia’s scenes appeared in the tabloid videos alongside Jessica’s.

Someone suddenly mentioned, “I didn’t notice before, but this main character both looks really nice and acts pretty well. That gaze was really imperious, as if it was the Empress herself.”

That resonated with a lot of people.

“Yeah, much better than that trash second-fiddle. Especially that gaze, my god, the sheer aggression. I can’t help it, I must kneel before her Majesty.”

“That court dress is great, too, brimming with authority. I’m in love.”

“Yeah, it’s been a long time since we saw a lady with this much backbone who looked this good.”

“Simp! Simp!”

The comments turned from Natalia’s acting to her appearance.

Soon, though, someone came out and said, “Enough with the love, didn’t you see the tabloids from last night?”

Someone who didn’t know what was going on asked, “What tabloids?”

The photos from last night were posted the very next second.

“Acting my ass. You still want someone who slept her way to the role?”

“Damn, that shut-down came quick.”

“She borked the director in the middle of the night, man. How do you like them apples?”

Seeing the photos and the tabloid headlines from last night, Natalia instantly lost favor with some people.

“Damnit, how could it be? I thought she’d be a good person to go along with her looks and her acting!”

“Man, this is a complicated business.”

Still, there were those who stuck to their guns and didn’t believe Natalia did those things.
