A man with striking purple hair was stopped at the front desk.He presented an interview letter with an expression laced with irritation. The receptionist couldn't help but stare at his face. Her ears were tinged with red.The man had deep-set eyes, a sharp nose, and an almost otherworldly handsomeness. He exuded a wild, untamed energy. His expression was a mix of arrogance and defiance. He stood well over six feet tall, with broad shoulders, a lean waist, and long legs.As he strode through the entrance, the receptionist wondered if she'd accidentally joined an entertainment agency.Even the hottest Hollywood stars couldn't hold a candle to this guy."Thomas Keller… what a nice name," she murmured under her breath as she watched his retreating figure. "Even his name sounds like it belongs to a celebrity."But instead of heading to the elevator, Thomas pushed open the door to the stairwell.Inside, his phone crackled with a sharp voice."You'd better get that job, or you're not

Liesel excused herself. As she walked down the corridor, her eyes scanned the waiting area. She didn't see Austin's face in the crowd. Perhaps he was off exploring other parts of Hardin Group.Her gaze darkened momentarily, but she quickly dismissed the thought.The interviews had begun.Thomas leaned against the wall at the far end of the hallway while chewing gum. He observed the other applicants pacing as their faces taut with worry and anticipation.Whenever their gazes landed on him, they'd frown and quickly look away. Thomas glanced down at his outfit. He could see why they would react that way.He pulled out his phone and typed a message."Old man, think I'll get the job this time?"The reply came almost instantly, "I'm betting you will."Like hell he would. He was here to bomb the interview spectacularly.Thomas chuckled under his breath. Then, he slid the phone back into his pocket.Meanwhile, Felix, Hardin Group's vice president, received a call. Whatever was said o

"Excuse me, sorry to interrupt." Gemma pushed open the meeting room door and offered an apologetic smile to the candidate who was speaking confidently."Ms. Collins, is there something you need?""Where's Ms. Sharp?""Mr. Durham needed her for something. She went to the lab. You should be able to find her there.""That's even better. Mr. Wicks, come with me. I need to discuss something with you."Gemma exhaled quietly while beckoning to him. Without Liesel present, the pressure on her shoulders lightened considerably.One of the interviewers immediately stepped out. Gemma led him to the stairwell while lowering her voice as she spoke. Her tone was filled with urgency."Listen, you absolutely cannot let Ms. Sharp find out about us pulling strings for Thomas. She despises this kind of thing. Just keep it between us three, understand?""I understand. What's Thomas' full name?" Aaron nodded repeatedly."Thomas Keller," Gemma replied."He's the one with the purple hair and the fla

The young man approaching had a warm and inviting presence, the kind that effortlessly left a good impression. The women in the live stream couldn't help but chime in."He's got such a cute smile, especially with those canine teeth." "Finally, someone who doesn't seem scared of Thomas and his bad-boy vibes.""Thomas, talk to him already. You're just standing there bored anyway." "This guy has a boyish charm."The newcomer's cheerful demeanor clearly impressed the viewers, but Thomas frowned. His sharp eyes narrowed with suspicion.Though he had plenty of friends, Thomas wasn't exactly approachable. His rebellious style made him stand out, but it also kept people at a distance. Yet, here was this stranger, casually closing the gap.Thomas remembered seeing him earlier when they collected their interview badges. At the time, the guy's expression had been no different from the rest—judgmental and full of disdain. Now, out of nowhere, he was all smiles and friendliness. He was s

The live stream chat was flooded with praises. Each viewer enthusiastically showered Thomas with compliments.Austin stood frozen in place. His face was pale and his expression was stiff."Did you misunderstand something—" he began, seemingly prepared to offer an explanation."Mr. Thomas Keller, it's your turn for the interview," someone called from across the corridor.Thomas didn't spare Austin a glance. With confident strides, he walked away while revealing a sly smile. The real fun was about to begin.Austin's expression was icy."Thomas, it's showtime! Let's go!" The live-stream audience erupted in cheers and encouragement.At the entrance to the conference room, a coat rack stood against the wall.Thomas walked in, dragged the rack further along the wall, and hung his leather jacket on it. Taking his time, he adjusted the jacket to ensure the hidden camera captured both himself and the interviewers clearly.The three interviewers exchanged glances but didn't dare to comm

Thomas didn't consider himself a troublemaker. He even took his time strolling around the room. He gave the three interviewers the full view of his tattoo."What do you think?" he asked while pointing at the ferocious dragon head etched across his chest.The three interviewers were rendered speechless.Aaron quietly covered his face with his hand. This was beyond anything he could have imagined. Did Cameron know his son was pulling stunts like this?If someone handed Thomas a weapon, they genuinely believed he would storm out and cause havoc.In the live stream, comments started flooding in."Hahaha!""You're going all out, huh? Damn! If your dad finds out, he's going to have a meltdown!""Thomas has been a rebel since day one—this is why we love him!""Give these corporate types a real show, Thomas!""You're amazing, Thomas!"Thomas continued, "My previous boss said my tattoo was ugly and used that as an excuse to fire me. Ugly? Don't they know dragons are amazing?"Wait.

"My most memorable experience? Does dressing up as a ghost to scare my boss in the middle of the night count?"Thomas even struck a dramatic pose as he spoke. He suddenly pulled out a ghost costume and slipped it on. His phone blared eerie music, and he turned off the lights in the room, creating an atmosphere that was disturbingly authentic.The three interviewers sat frozen. They were completely at a loss for words. Meanwhile, the live stream erupted in laughter. "Thomas is at it again! Hahaha!"Sliding his phone into his pocket, Thomas began backing away ominously, only to suddenly lunge toward the panel. Though they knew it was an act, they flinched as they were genuinely concerned that he might throw a punch.Aaron, who was visibly shaken, scrambled to retreat. But in the next moment, Thomas reached out and yanked off his toupee. He exposed his bare scalp for all to see.Aaron froze in mortification. His face turned a deep shade of red. The other two interviewers slapped

However, Yvonne became sheepish and didn't say a word.She had sought out Sebastian, Veronica, and Brandon to seek justice for her, yet she felt extremely embarrassed. She continued sobbing, sounding sadder than ever."Yvonne, what's going on? Say something! I won't know what actually happened if you keep crying!"

Yvonne had fallen to that point. She couldn't continue falling any further and get embroiled in more scandals. She averted her gaze as she took off in a hurry. Even at a distance, she could still hear the crew members mocking her name loudly while insulting her. As soon as Yvonne entered the elevator, she could no longer hold back her tears. By the time she left the elevator and reached the car, she was already a crying mess. She leaned against the steering wheel and sobbed nonstop. Once she had cried enough, she drove back to Zima Villa as her last hope. At that point, she was forced to return to beg her parents, Sebastian Zima and Veronica Pole. Meanwhile, Joseph had kept an eye on Ophelia's situation. He always had been one to keep up with the gossip and not interfere no matter how bad things got. He even intentionally messaged Edward, leaving him uneasy after learning what happened to Ophelia. Joseph: "Are you aware that Ophelia has been bullied?"Joseph: "Do you remembe

How could Yvonne say that her fans were for her to exploit? That was one way to drive her fans away completely. They weren't pathetic for wanting to idolize someone.Yvonne's remaining fans tagged her on Twitter to demand answers, but she dared not respond at all. A few of her die-hard fans were left dismayed and completely disappointed in her. This prompted them to announce their departure from the fandom. Meanwhile, her remaining fans were clueless and couldn't make much impact.The video exposing Yvonne's true colors triggered a new trend "A Discussion About The Relationship Between Idols And Their Fans". Many inevitably brought up Chelsea, and Damian's fans chimed in that he was even more gentle and considerate. He even beat up a worker for stalking his fans, and that revelation earned Damian more fans.The fiasco this time had caused a wave of discussion about fans in the entertainment industry. Fans were made aware of their status so they would understand that they weren't

"I don't believe idols are superior to their fans. We're equals—our bond is mutual. We're responsible for accompanying each other and growing together."Chelsea popped a signed photograph into a paper bag and handed it to her loyal fan next to her. She continued, "Some became my fans because of my looks and performance. "All these are definitely important, but I hope they continue being my fans in the future because of my character and excellent talents."I hope my fans will notice my efforts, and they'll do the same as I did—walk toward the future with determination. The fans' support and admiration will give me more confidence, and my hard work will also inspire my fans to be better."Chelsea confidently walked away from the crowd to Ophelia and took out a wet wipe to dry the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Becoming a fan doesn't mean you should exhaust yourself. "Idolizing others is also a great way to improve yourself. An idol is like a guiding light. If she doesn't hel

While Ophelia had been quite harsh, her eyes turned red as soon as she spun on her heel. She had been Yvonne's fan for so many years and idolized her. It wasn't easy for Ophelia to simply dislike her right away.But Ophelia knew that she would really be a fool if she continued looking up to Yvonne. The snippet of the exchange ended there. After that, Ophelia and the others left the backstage area with reddened eyes. It was crowded outside the performance venue. Many held red LED boards, and some even held Chelsea's fan merchandise. One glance at them told Ophelia that they were Chelsians.While it seemed crowded, everyone was actually standing in two lines in an orderly fashion. Chelsea cheerfully handed out small gift bags to her fans. Afraid that Chelsea might exhaust herself, some fans took the initiative to help her hand out the bags. Others obediently distributed hot bubble tea Chelsea had bought as well. Since the weather was getting colder, she was worried that the fans wo

A twisted expression crossed Yvonne's face. "Your love for me has always been superficial! You supported me because of my looks!"Once better and prettier idols debut, you'll immediately switch sides and support them! Why should I give back so much to fans like you?"Yvonne pointed at the door. "Look how many people have shown support for Chelsea after she debuted? How many of my fans have turned into Chelsians and how many of them even started insulting me online?"Your support has always been ridiculous and superficial! What's wrong with me for taking advantage of people like you? "Fans who stan idols have always been childish and ridiculous! Serve all of you right for being so useless! Those in their right minds would never keep up with any idols!""Have you gone mad?" Ophelia couldn't help but push Yvonne aside. Ophelia couldn't believe that Yvonne, whom she had admired for so many years, had uttered such unkind words. Ophelia threw the LED board to the ground. The utter fo

The paparazzo burst into laughter. He held his stomach as he rolled on the couch in glee. "Oh, wow! You still invited your fans here in your current situation. They're really your diehard fans."A vein throbbed on Yvonne's forehead. She couldn't help but hiss under her breath. "Aren't you my fans? Since you are, you should be on my side and continue helping me!""We might be fans, but does that mean you can treat us as fools?"While Ophelia's eyes had gone red, she did not hold back as she lashed out at Yvonne. "You already knew that we're just useless female students. Why did you even message us privately and invite us to the performance venue?"We worried about you. We showed up with light sticks and gifts, just hoping to let you know we were still here and that we still had your back. "And what did you do? What are fans to you, Yvonne? Are we even people in your eyes? Or are we just tools—things you can use and toss aside whenever you feel like it?"Yvonne froze. Meanwhile, t

Yvonne opened the door and was startled by the sight of Ophelia and her friends. She patted her chest. "When did you guys arrive? Don't you know how to knock on the door?"Ophelia and her two friends stared at Yvonne with reddened eyes and did not respond. Yvonne recalled the public's opinions toward her as well as the online criticism toward her fans. Their expressions made Yvonne feel rather sympathetic toward them. Since their eyes had turned red, she believed they must have cried out of exasperation after learning that Yvonne was being bullied in the group. They really did seem to be her true fans. "Come in." Yvonne gestured with her chin. After the three entered the lounge, Yvonne handed them three bottles of juice. "Have something to drink for now. I'll take you out for a bite later."Ophelia held the bottle of juice but did not drink it. Finally, Yvonne noticed that each of them was holding a cat doll. "Are you giving me these cat dolls as presents?"The three did not say

Yvonne's chest ached, making it hard for her to breathe. The words Ophelia once said had left her feeling extremely miserable. Yvonne sat at the table and sobbed."Chelsea became what others have always dreamed to be because she didn't need any persona. She always shone the brightest on stage. Chelsea can lead her fans into a brighter future, and you'll only lead us into darkness and nightmares."Those were Ophelia's last words before leaving. Until now, her words haunted Yvonne like a relentless nightmare. It was like a projector that couldn't be switched off, replaying over and over that she was nothing compared to Chelsea.How did that happen? Ophelia was Yvonne's fan, and Yvonne believed Ophelia, the daughter of the Fords, should always be her fan. Yvonne wiped her tears away. As soon as she turned around, she saw the cat doll Ophelia had given her as a final gift. These days, Yvonne took the cat doll with her everywhere. She still kept it with her even while filming a self-
