Chapter 73
yone cried pitifully, putting on a full performance of innocence and grievance in front of the media. Reporters, with their sharp instincts, immediately caught onto the hidden implications in Yvonne’s words. They raised their microphones and went straight to the point
“Zoey’s styling studio? If I’m not mistaken, Zoey is Daphine’s sister, right?
“There’s been talk about you and Daphne not getting along Gould that be why Zory intentionally sabotaged your look?”
A flicker of surprise crossed Yvonne’s face, as though she hadn’t expected anyone to bring up Daphne. She quickly waved her hands, denying the accusation.
“Please don’t make baseless assumptions without evidence. This must have begri a mistake on Zoey’s part. Even though she clearly doesn’t like me, this has nothing to do with Daphne Daphne is such a wonderful person. There’s no way she would instruct Zoey to do something like this ”
What a venomous defense!
On the surface, it seemed like Yvonne was clearing Daphne’s name, but in reality, she was shyly directing suspicion and blame toward het.
Zoey was genuinely panicked this time. As a stylist,
1, she didn’t have the mental resilience of a celebrity and couldn’t handle the wave of online abuse.
Daphine reassured her, telling her not to worry and promising to handle it.
But by the next day, the situation had spiraled far beyond Zoey’s expectations.
“Daphine, the contracts 1 signed with several talent agencies have been canceled. The fans of those artists are demanding they cut ties with me, saying I’m unethical and unprofessional My career is about to be destroyed.” Zoey sobbed.
“And my studio! Yvonne’s fans have splattered red paint all over the door and are protesting outside. They’re demanding an explanation from me. I borrowed that gown for her, but she refused to wear it. What explanation can I possibly give?”
Zoey cried so hard she was gasping for r
Amid the chorus of insults directed at Zoey, a single voice stood out.
It came from Yvette, the actress whose styling session had been interrupted when Wonne demanded Zoey’s attention.
Despite the difficulties Zoey faced that day, she made time to personally finalize Yvette’s styling, Wette was deeply grateful for her professionalism.
Yatte, tellow newcomer in the industry, was not only prettier and more likable than Yvonne but also far kinder. However, lacking any backing, she was often overshadowed by Yvonne and even bullied by her.
As the storm against Zoey raged on, Yvette ignored the prevailing sentiment and posted a heartfelt message on her personal account. She tagged Zoey’s studio, thanking the team. for their incredible work and praising their professionalism and dedication.
When Daphne saw Yvette’s post, she couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of admiration for the young woman.
Acts of kindness in moments of adversity were always the most memorable.
It was especially rare for a newcomer like Yvette to have the courage and determination to stand up against someone like Yvonne.
As Zoey’s tearful complaints continued, Daphne’s frown deepened.
Clearly, it was time to stop playing nice with Yvonne. Otherwise, she might actually start thinking Daphne was an easy target.
What Duplane didn’t tell Zoey was that one of her own endorsement deals a partnership with a major household goods brand–was also being impacted by this controversy.
Just before the official announcement, tumors about Daphine becoming the spokesperson had already circulated in the industry. Wonne’s fans wasted no time flooding the brand’s offrid social media accounts, demanding a boyroll of Daphne,
Dighine was no stranger to such tactics from Yvonne’s fanbase. She quickly pieced together the sequence of events and realized that Yvonne had planned everything from the moment the insisted Zoey personally handle her styling.
Yvonne’s goal had never been as simple as securing Wilson’s affection or turning him against Daphne.
By repeatedly targeting the people around Dapline, Yvonne was making it clear–her ultimate objective was to force Daphne out of the entertainment industry enticely.
