Chapter 211 Grace Became Popular
It was pretty wild to hear that a big-shot director, backed by over fifty celebs, got busted.
Wasn't that just hilarious?
Charles had to take a second when he heard the news.
He figured Grace, with all that solid evidence, could flip the script and take control of the narrative, but he didn't think Tiger would get nabbed so fast!
Charles thought, 'Considering that Tiger is a highly esteemed director with significant influence and complex social connections, isn't it a bit too hasty for him to be arrested so easily?'
It was like facing a tough boss in a game and taking it down with one hit!
What Charles didn't know was that the evidence hit Rex where it hurt. Feeling betrayed, he decided to take Tiger down hard. This time, Tiger might not even have a chance to bounce back!
So, Tiger got arrested and dragged into a celebrity suicide case from eight years ago.
This wasn't just about shady deals; Tiger might be looking at criminal charges.
"Who would've thought things would flip so fast? Over fifty stars are probably feeling pretty embarrassed. They just backed him, and then the solid evidence dropped. Even Kimberly got caught up in the shady stuff. What else could be true?" Roommate Jesse started ranting.
"After reading this, I've got a new goal. I wanna be a director too. I wanna have my own shady deals with a few actresses!" Tom said with a cheeky grin.
Roommate Robert spoke up. "If that's the real story, Grace must've been a target. She's gorgeous, even more than Kimberly, and she's got serious acting chops. She was on the rise last year. If nothing went wrong, she could've been a top actress and have a bright future. She didn't need to be some rich kid's mistress!"
He added, "Look, someone just spilled the tea on the rich kid Grace supposedly seduced. What rich kid? Just some regular guy from Nuw Yark, with two houses, less than three hundred grand in savings, driving a Maserati, and no job. Just a flashy, unemployed guy living off his parents. Would Grace be into him? That's ridiculous! This is totally a setup. Grace must be innocent. We should back her. From today on, I'm all in for Grace!"
Now that Grace had the upper hand in public opinion, people started digging into her past negative press.
And guess what? They found a ton of holes!
Since it was clear that Tiger was a monster in disguise, Grace's long Twitter post proving her innocence back then was obviously true.
She was totally wronged and had to endure a year of unfair treatment.
She got blacklisted just because she didn't bow down to the bad guys!
A delicate girl enduring a year of online hate—what a tragedy! What an injustice! Society really did her dirty!
After Tiger's arrest, Grace's situation got a lot of sympathy.
Even the online trolls started changing their tune!
In just half a day, Grace's Twitter followers shot up by two million.
At this rate, she could hit ten million followers in a week.
Charles pulled out his phone and checked out Grace's latest Twitter update.
It had six home selfies, and she looked as charming as ever.
[Hey everyone, nice to see you again. It's been a while since I posted a selfie, feels a bit weird. I hope that one day, I can be an actress again!]
Such a simple caption, merely sharing her hopes, yet it touched many hearts.
She didn't complain or kick anyone while they were down. She didn't go off on Tiger or rant about how unfair society was, even when she was on top. She just wanted to be a good actress and shared her hope for the industry.
So simple!
But back then, so many people took away her right to chase her dreams. They attacked and cursed her without knowing the truth.
Grace was only twenty-two. Why should she suffer such unfair accusations?
And the most touching part was that even after all that, Grace still looked forward to the sunshine in her heart.
That was the kind of quality that earned respect.
Grace had become the center of attention. Just because of six home selfies and a hope to act again, she went viral in the entire entertainment industry.
It maybe because her case had such a big impact, involving more than fifty popular stars, plus the scandal with actress Kimberly, and the arrest of Tiger.
A series of hot topics, discussions, and trending searches, with all their twists and turns, finally proved she was framed.
Such a dramatic and unforgettable story instantly gained Grace countless fans.
Her Twitter followers were skyrocketing every second.
TikTok, YouTube, and various short video platforms, along with major news outlets, started riding the wave, constantly editing and broadcasting the TV shows Grace had previously filmed.
