Chapter 5 Yes.
Gracie smiled innocently, Michal and Ashley knew I really liked this show, so they discussed it with the director.
Michal agreed to bring me along, and the director approved.
Michal glanced at her with a touch of arrogance.
You see, even if you stubbornly refuse to give up the spot, we can still make sure Gracie gets what she wants.
So you clearly had a way to get her a spot but insisted on forcing me to withdraw? Lucy scoffed.
Such family bonds really refresh my understanding.
Among the five Green family siblings, Chris is the head of Green Entertainment.
The second brother, Michal, is a renowned top agent.
Bruce is a highly popular and talented singer.
Mike is a gifted new director, while Ashley is a top star.
With top star Ashley willing to join the show, the director was naturally pleased.
He requested to bring one more person, which the director could reluctantly accept.
The Green family brothers had never considered helping Gracie get a spot this way before; instead, they forced their biological sister to give up her spot.
In their view, their return meant Gracie should be compensated in every possible way, even though Gracie is just an adopted daughter.
Lucy found their bizarre beliefs hard to understand and was left with nothing but disgust.
Fortunately, I cut ties with you in time; otherwise, Id probably be sickened to death! You…! Michals face turned red with anger.
Ashleys face also darkened.
Lucy, youre going too far! Going too far? I havent even shown my true strength yet.
Lucy gave them a cold glance.
Being family with you for over a year was my karma from the past life.
With that, she turned and left, too lazy to deal with them any further.
She quickly returned to her apartment.
Lucy took out her phone, logged into Facebook, and changed her password.
Her previous manager was Michal, so the account had been under his control.
Michal didnt pay much attention to her and rarely updated her Facebook, which was mostly filled with hateful comments.
The trolls who abused her were mostly Cohen and Ashleys fans.
These two had a large following in the industry, and their fans and paparazzi were quite diligent.
When the paparazzi accidentally exposed her longstanding relationship with Cohen, Cohens fans immediately became restless and began attacking her for using him to gain popularity.
They hadnt publicly acknowledged their relationship, and many fanatical fans attacked her, urging her to stay away from Cohen.
She wanted to explain but was refused by Cohen and Michal.
Cohen suggested handling it coldly without explanation, while Michal, not taking her side as a manager, said not to waste energy on it.
They watched her get abused with no response.
Her silence only reinforced the fans belief that she was merely riding on Cohens coattails, and her reputation plummeted.
Later, Ashleys fans dealt her another heavy blow.
After she was reintroduced to Green family, Ashley, feeling guilty, invited her to a dance practice.
This was caught by paparazzi and posted online.
She faced another round of online abuse, being labeled as a player, opportunist, and shameless.
Some extreme fans even vandalized her car and threw rotten eggs at her during events.
She asked Ashley for an explanation, but Ashley said that the truth would clear itself, and Michal also said not to worry.
She found no way to defend herself as explanations would only escalate the trolls fury.
At that point, she started considering leaving Green Entertainment.
Ironically, not long after these incidents, when Ashley was seen shopping with Gracie, the target of abuse shifted to Gracie.
Ashley immediately stepped in to defend Gracie and confronted the trolls.
Before this, the Green family often used pseudonyms in the entertainment industry, and Ashleys stage name was Leo.
Ashley publicly revealed their sibling relationship.
Michal quickly mobilized their PR team, even leading the narrative to portray Ashley and Gracie as celestial siblings.
They were frantic, completely forgetting their earlier stance of no need for explanations and that the truth would clear itself.

In her past life, Lucy distanced herself from them after experiencing this and resolved to leave the Green family.
She didnt get the chance to do so before an accident occurred.
Facebook notifications refreshed, and the shows director announced the list of participants: besides her, the Green family siblings, and three other stars, there were two mysterious guests whose identities were not yet revealed.
Lucy deleted the offensive comments on her Facebook and shared the shows official announcement.
Predictably, the comments section was filled with abuse.
[That little bitch Lucy is participating too? Is she there for laughs?] [Shes not trying to cling to my Leo, is she? Im just excited about Leo being a special guest!] [Lucy, get away from my Leo!] [Leo even brought his sister to the show.
Please dont attack the celestial siblings!] [She has no status or popularity, and her character is so poor.
How did she get on the show?] [Its probably her financial backer who helped her.
Shes very good at being a homewrecker!] [Ive heard she hasnt been active for over a year, just hanging around with her backer! What a waste of her pretty face!] [Its obvious those pictures are photoshopped.
Ive seen her in personshes ugly as hell!] … Her Facebook was full of abuse, while the directors page had various comments.
Besides the negative comments, there were also fan messages supporting their artists.
It was clear Michal had hired a lot of online commenters to praise Gracie as a little fairy with beauty and kindness.
Lucy ignored these comments and started researching the other three guests.
Her goal was to perform well on the show, improve her image, and increase her popularity to gain more life value.
Everything else was unimportant.
A week before the show began, she received several calls from Cohen using different numbers.
She deleted and blocked all the numbers and finally found some peace.
Finally, the recording of Straight to the Truth began!
