As soon as Yoyo woke up, she started peppering Wyneth with questions. There were so many that Wyneth could not figure out which to answer first. The funny thing was, Yoyo was asking about stuff that was already online. Yoyo looked at her, feeling helpless."You get a chance to ask me anything, and you're asking about things everyone already knows from the internet?" Wyneth asked.Hearing this, Yoyo got it. "Yeah, why am I asking you about things I already know? I guess I'm just so shocked that I can't accept it yet."Wyneth did not feel like talking. It was not just Yoyo who was having trouble with this; she was struggling to wrap her head around it too.Then, Yoyo looked at her, a bit sad. "Why didn't you tell me when we went to the concert last time? If I had known that Finn was your real brother, I would have asked you to get me an autograph. But it's okay. It's not too late now, right?"Wyneth nodded. "No, it's not too late.""Awesome! Then I want autographs from both Finn an
Before Wyneth could see the phone, Yoyo said quickly, "Oh my gosh, all the brands said they're not working with Emma anymore. And the show team you're with is going to pick a new leading lady."Wyneth did not respond. She pursed her lips, feeling even more upset and confused."What happened? Did she offend someone?" Yoyo asked out loud, getting more interested in the gossip.People online who were also following the drama were shocked too. Some of them had stayed up all night talking about it. Now they were waking up to even bigger news and were just as confused.[Sorry, I just woke up. What happened?][Who did Emma upset? Lots of brands are dumping her. Will she even last in showbiz now?][What? Isn't she the top actress at StarCrest Entertainment? Why are they suddenly banning her?][Wow, it looks like they're completely banning her. She must've made someone really important angry. Maybe that person?][Which person? What happened? Why is there just a ban and no explanation?]
By now, Emma could only blame herself. She knew Hayden liked Wyneth, but she kept hoping things would change.Ding-dong!The doorbell rang. Emma just sat there, while Rainee jumped up. "It's probably Alena; she'll know what to do."Rainee hurried to answer the door. Sure enough, Emma's manager, Alena Hunt, was standing there. As soon as Alena stepped inside, she slapped Rainee across the face. Rainee held her cheek, stunned."I pay you a lot to be with Emma all the time," Alena said angrily. "Your job is to take care of her and tell me everything. Why didn't you talk to me about this big problem? Trying to play both sides?" Alena was super mad. She looked like she might slap Rainee again. Rainee screamed and ran into the washroom. Alena shouted, "Useless coward!" but she did not follow her.Alena then moved deeper into the room and found Emma, who was slumped in defeat. "Things are going bad and you're just gonna sit here doing nothing?"Emma slowly looked up, her eyes empty. "Wh
Yoyo was really puzzled because of the Emma situation. She spent a lot of time on her phone, reading all the rumors. Still, she could not figure it out. Mumbling to herself, she asked, "Why was she banned?"Wyneth, nearby, rolled her eyes. 'She really likes gossip,' she thought.Suddenly, the doorbell rang."I got it! I got it!" Yoyo jumped off her bed and raced to the door, shouting back at Wyneth, "I need to do something, or I'll go crazy!"Wyneth chuckled, thinking, 'Who could that be? Maybe my brothers?'When Yoyo opened the door, she was still thinking of Emma. And there she was, Emma, right in front of her. For a second, Yoyo wondered if she was making things up from reading too much gossip. But then Alena, with a bunch of bags, stepped up with a big smile."You're Yoyo, right? The one who lives with Wyneth?"'Is that Alena? Emma's manager?' Yoyo rubbed her eyes. "Am I dreaming?""Nope, you're wide awake!" Alena said with a laugh. "Can we come in? We need to chat.""Of c
Emma tripped and looked up to see Wyneth giving her a quick look. Emma's eyes were red and puffy, like she had been crying, and they seemed tired.Emma, pushed gently by Alena, came closer, her voice scratchy. "Can we talk by ourselves for a sec, Wyneth?"Alena jumped in, "Maybe the rest of us should step out?"Wyneth did not say anything, but when Alena tried to take Yoyo away, Yoyo quickly moved to Wyneth's side. "Wyneth and I are super close. If you guys have something to say, I should hear it too. If not, you can leave," Yoyo told Alena."But," Alena said, "Emma wants to talk to Wyneth alone.""Yeah, but Emma is the one who asked, not Wyneth."Alena did not know how to respond.Yoyo stood her ground. Even if she was occasionally out of the loop, Yoyo had a knack for piecing together stories and rumors. When Alena talked about the apology, Yoyo felt something was not right. Recalling some old chatter, she believed she was getting close to uncovering the whole truth. And that
Alena quickly stepped in, "If you can't do it, then who can?" Maybe Wyneth's comment upset her. Worried that Wyneth would not help, she acted as if her own pride did not matter. "Ms. Walford," Alena began, "you know why Emma is blacklisted and who's behind it, right? They did that because of you. If you help Emma now, she'll be really thankful later."Rainee, with tears in her eyes, said, "I'm really sorry, Ms. Walford. I told Emma about it. You were kind to her, and it made her really happy. She didn't mean to hurt you; I made her do it."Wyneth stared at the two of them. A manager and an assistant were both sticking up for Emma. To them, Emma was like a kid who just went along with what others said. Even when she did something wrong, she wanted everyone to think it was not her fault. Wyneth just stayed quiet, not wanting to talk.Yoyo, standing next to her, finally spoke up, "You made her do it? You think she's a little kid? Just doing whatever she's told? And why should Wyneth he
Emma did not want to argue, so she quickly headed for the door. Alena and Rainee chased after her. Even though Alena tried talking to her, Emma made up her mind and left the room.Yoyo was about to shut the door when Emma looked back, biting her lip. "Promise me you'll tell Wyneth I won't let her down."Yoyo had lost all the good vibes she once felt for Emma. Rolling her eyes, she said, "Whatever. Can't tell what's up with you anymore."Emma just gave a sad smile. Her reputation that she worked so hard for fell apart because of this.Slam!Yoyo closed the door, leaving the others outside. Rolling her eyes, she said, "I used to actually like her. Can't believe I didn't see what she was really like. The entertainment world can be pretty crazy." Wyneth started cleaning some leftover snacks. Yoyo hurried to help, then started chatting like she always did. "Only the boss of StarCrest Entertainment could do something like blacklisting someone, right?" Yoyo could not help but be curious.
When Yoyo kept asking her questions, Wyneth stayed calm."Come on, tell me," Yoyo said, getting closer and continuing her questions.Wyneth glanced at her and said, "It's really that simple. Thinking something different won't change the truth." After cleaning up, Wyneth threw the stuff in the trash and then washed her hands.Yoyo followed her, saying, "I don't believe you, even if you say there's nothing."Wyneth shrugged. "That's cool."Yoyo pouted. "You're not even trying to convince me?""Why should I?""I guess you shouldn't.""Right.""But you should still try to convince me? Maybe then I'd believe something's up. You're not telling me anything and it's bugging me."Wyneth dried her hands and left, saying casually, "Sorry, but there's really nothing to tell."Yoyo did not ask any more questions about that. But she was restless and soon started looking at fun stories on her phone.That evening, Emma, who had been quiet all day because she got banned, suddenly shared a v
