Chapter 554
Lying in bed, Penelope couldn’t sleep. With a sigh, she reached for her phone and scrolled through
Twitter. Her eyes fixated on the negative comments about Allison, her so-called rival. As she skimmed
through the barrage of insults targeting Allison, a twisted smile crept across her face. But as she
continued to read, her smile faltered.
“I just blindly trust Allison. She’s just so beatiful. Even if she did something shady in the past, I believe
in her.”
“These pictures kinda look like Penelope. They have similar features. Why does everyone assume it’s
Allison? Could it be Penelope?”
“I also think it looks like Penelope! Glad I’m not the only one.” This comment was liked by thousands.
Penelope gritted her teeth in frustration. She couldn’t believe it. Even now, fans were defending
Allison!
Her fingers curled into a fist as a plan hatched in her mind. She quickly dialed Nathalie. “Get on it, Nat.
I need you to call in some media favors. Have reporters camp out in front of Epic Entertainment
tomorrow.”
Nathalie hesitated, “Are we still doing this? Didn’t your mom come to your room tonight and ask you to
lay off Allison?”
Penelope was unrelenting. “We’re just rallying the reporters. We’re not responsible for anything else.”
Nathalie sighed. “But…”
Penelope said, “This was your brainchild, remember? Are you chickening out now?”
There was nothing Nathalie feared in this game. After all, if anything went south, it would be Penelope
taking the fall, not her.
“Fine,” Nathalie conceded. “I’m on it. I have a friend at a magazine. She’s got a network,
with hundreds of contacts across the media field.”
As Nathalie lay in bed, she mused over her conversation with Penelope. If Penelope wouldn’t listen, it
wasn’t her problem. Penelope was just too naive. The designer bag given by Penelope was worth a
small fortune. Nathalie caressed it lovingly before dialing another number.
“Hey, you busy?”
“Swamped. It’s all about Allison. The boss wants me to score a scoop, but how? Allison’s gone
underground, and her place is locked down tight.”
Nathalie said immediately, “Well, I’ve got a hot tip about Allison.”
“Out with it!”
“I’ll spill, but you owe me one.
“Deal. What’s up?”
scoop,
“Everyone’s looking for Allison, but what about her mom? You might not get the but it’s still a story.
Write something up, hit your targets, and the editor will be happy.”
“And where’s Allison’s mom?”
“She’s been hanging around Epic Entertainment, probably trying to see her daughter. You can’t get to
Allison, but you can get to her mom. She lives at Blue Mountain Estate.”
Sophie was elated. “Nathalie, you’re a lifesaver! I owe you a meal.”
“There’s one more thing,” Nathalie pressed. “I need you to spread the word. You’ve got that media
group chat, right? A hundred contacts, easy.”
Sophie hesitated. “I do, but…”
She was desperate for that exclusive scoop.
