Episode 46

Elizabeth struggled to maintain her composure, reminding herself to remain logical, but found her chilly heart reluctantly softening.

After ending the call, she checked Twitter.

As Oliver had promised, the once-persistent negative trend had vanished, erased as though it had never been.

A subtle smile unknowingly spread across Elizabeth’s face.

Ruby also noticed it, and she chuckled, “Can you believe it? Even Mr.

Norris seems to have a conscience after all.

Shame it had to take such chaos to bring it out.

But, honestly, this whole debacle? Totally his doing.

If he hadn’t been backing Sandra, she never would have been so brazen.

Absolutely, he could wipe those trending topics off the internet in a heartbeat.

He owes us that much, so let’s not pat him on the back just yet.

We were already sorting things out ourselves.

He’s definitely still in our debt for that role!”

As Elizabeth listened to Ruby, a deep sense of understanding settled within her; it was clear as day to everyone that Elijah was the source of the turmoil.

If he hadn’t fumbled everything up, Elizabeth wouldn’t have been cheated out of a role that was hers by right.

Sandra wouldn’t have had the chance to trample over her ambitions so easily.

Ultimately, everything traced back to Elijah, and his efforts to remove the trending topic were likely just a tactic to salvage his family’s reputation.

Elizabeth realized she had no reason to feel grateful for him doing what was expected, yet a wry laugh escaped her lips.

Suddenly, Ruby, who had been browsing her phone, burst out in exasperation.

She said, “This is just ludicrous! I got ahead of myself too quickly.

They pulled your trending topic, sure, but they also took down the audition digs I posted.

Now, we’ve lost any evidence of the clash between you and Sandra.

Even her terrible acting dip got censored!

I poured my heart into securing that video.

I figured it would illuminate your talents, yet it vanished in an instant! Countless fans missed their chance to see it.”

Elizabeth, her curiosity piqued, snatched up her phone and flicked through Twitter.

Ruby’s predictions had come true once again.

Every whisper of conversation about Elizabeth and Sandra had dissolved into nothingness.

It wasn’t merely her trending issue that had been purged.

The hashtags #SandraPoorActing and #SandraSelfDestruction, which had climbed the trending charts thanks to Ruby’s uploaded audition clips, had also been meticulously erased.

Even the supportive remarks that had previously cast Elizabeth’s talents in a more favorable light than Sandra’s were nowhere to be found.

She clenched her teeth, desperately searching for any mention of herself and Sandra.

Queries about Sandra still pulled up old trending discussions and content.

But searches for Elizabeth? They yielded a stark void.

Every trace of her previous mentions had been scrubbed clean.

Ruby’s face was a mask of fury as she spat out the words, “So, it turns out Elijah was never on our side.

He’s been covering for Sandra all along.

He’s petrified that she’ll be mocked, so he scrubbed the trending topic clean.

Now, there’s no trace left for anyone to even whisper about it.”

Her voice rose with every word, her hands clenching tightly.

“What’s even more infuriating is that he didn’t stop at hiding her stories; he obliterated everything about you too.

Just as people began to notice your talent, he snuffed it out like it was nothing!”

The injustice of it made Ruby’s chest heave with raw anger.

Elizabeth’s response was to calmly lock her phone, her lips curving into a cold, mocking smile.

The whole scenario struck her as ludicrous.

She had endured a relentless onslaught of cruel remarks all night, without a hint of support from Elijah.

Yet, the instant Sandra was criticized for her audition, he leapt into action to sanitize the mess.

A bitter sneer twisted her features.

It was undeniable—Sandra was his priority, always first in line.

Elijah’s world seemingly revolved solely around Sandra, relegating Elizabeth to the shadows, barely more than a fleeting thought.

Elizabeth realized the agony of the fire hadn’t been enough.

Her heart had yet to break entirely back then.
