"NO, I don't," Astrid said as a response to Ellis' question whether he knew White Wolf. [At least, I can't confirm it at this mont.] – he added in his mind.
Ellis already expected such an answer. If there was such a thing, Astrid would have told it to her by now. "Well, let's not bother with this White Wolf for now. Because of this person's comnts and the evidence they posted, the number of people posting their negative opinion about you has significantly subsided. But there are still so people who don't believe it and keep on posting hateful comnts about you. Don't worry, I will post a statent later and ask Polaris' PR departnt to re-post it. After that, this problem would most be mostly solved."
"Are there enough evidence?" Astrid asked.
"Yeah, more than enough," Ellis said. "That White Wolf sent an email to containing all the evidence he had found. From all the money transactions to the identity of the person who paid that group of ghosts to ruin your reputation."
Astrid raised his brow. He didn't expect that there was still such an operation. This White Wolf even managed to get Ellis' email address. "So, who wanted to deal with ?"
"The person's na is Jesse Norris."
A blank expression appeared on Astrid's face. If it was possible, maybe a question mark would even directly appear on it. "Who?"
----------
At a certain mansion in the capital, a young man with delicate features and a pretty face was walking back and forth inside his room. Worry and fear could be seen in his eyes.
If Astrid was here, then, he would imdiately recognize this young man as one of the three people who tried to block him a few days ago in school. He was definitely the one who left the most impression. After all, he obviously acted as the leader of the three. And his expression was the most colorful after one of the other two vomited on him.
How could Astrid not recognize this person? Sadly, he wasn't here now. If not, then, maybe he could watch a good show.
Jesse had been trying to contact the people he paid to sar Astrid Townsend's reputation. It had been 10 minutes now but none of his calls had gone through. He rembered the things that that White Wolf person said in the comnt. Would they really get sued? Then, how about him?
As the one who instigated everything, wouldn't his punishnt be greater? Fear gripped him again.
No, he needed to calm down. Panicking would only make his brain unable to think properly. After a few deep breaths, he finally managed to get a semblance of calmness back.
He actually didn't plan all of this. Earlier, he was just casually browsing [Cyberspace]. Having an aspiration to be an actor, it's only natural to be acquainted with the latest entertainnt news. That's how he ended up seeing that delusional comnt under the trailer released by the [Blind Justice] official [Cyberspace] account.
It talked about the possibility of Astrid being the special guest in the show's 100th episode. His hair almost blew up just reading that presumptuous comnt. How could soone even think that there's a possibility that a no-na newcor could actually get that kind of role?
He first thought that Astrid's fans were simply delusional. It was just right for those types of people to follow the other. But then, another possibility ca to Jesse. What if the person who comnted that was not really a fan but soone Astrid paid to hype him up? The more he thought about it, the more he was convinced.
This kind of strategy was common in the entertainnt industry. Especially for newcors who wanted to be popular quickly.
Jesse sneered upon realizing that Astrid was using such underhanded ans. He just knew that Astrid was faking that innocent act just so he would get the sympathy of their schoolmates. What a two-faced bitch.
The humiliation he experienced at that ti ca rushing back to him again. Even now, so people at Redwood were still talking about what happened on that day. The video of him being vomited on was still hanging on the campus' forum. He was still thinking on how he could get back at Astrid, but wasn't this just the opportunity to do it?
So, Jesse contacted his cousin who was also an actress. The other had just entered the top 100 of the Star List during the last ranking assessnt. This cousin already made a na for herself and she also knew a lot of tricks in the industry. So, he simply asked the other, euphemistically of course, if she knew soone who could ruin a newcor's reputation through [Cyberspace].
His cousin didn't ask much and just gave him the number of a person who was doing this kind of job. Jesse imdiately contacted the person. And that's how he ended up sending money to different accounts given by the other.
After seeing how they acted swiftly after receiving the money, he felt that this transaction was very much worth it. He was still gloating seeing how other people were scolding Astrid online. But this feeling didn't last long.
A comnt showing evidence of his transaction with this group of people appeared. And it was just within an hour after those comnts trying to set up Astrid were posted. His joy and satisfaction didn't even last a few hours!
After reading the comnt that all of them would be sued, how could he not worry? His IP address was now known to many. It wasn't sothing that could be changed easily.
The only thing he could be thankful for was the fact that the comnt only showed that soone with his IP address send money to a group of people. It didn't show his bank account or anything like that. But what if this White Wolf had that and just didn't post it?
He probably should call his father and ask him to fix this.
As Jesse was contemplating what to do next, Ellis finally posted a statent on [Cyberspace].. And this was quickly reposted by the official account of Polaris.
