Chapter 051 Miss Newman vs. Internet Celebrities The elegance Hailey believed was a different story in others’ minds. “A debutante? Self-appointed? A real debutante is genteel and never humiliates others in public. They gossiped about her, but did she have to throw wine at them?”
“How could she throw wine at Maureen! That’s too much! I want to rush in and punch her.” “Look at her, so cocky. She looks fine from behind, but I bet her face is ugly.
Only ugly people are so mean!” “Can anybody tell me which lady of the Newman family she is? Isn’t Morgan the
president of Crystaldale? As far as I know, his daughter is named Eve. This is not what she looks like.”
“Guess what? I once saw Eve at a party. She is genteel, polite, and nothing like
the one in the video.” “Check out the list of donors. This lady didn’t even donate a penny! What did
she attend the fashion charity party for? To show off and bully people?” “I need the information about this woman. A threatening letter should be mailed!”
“Good idea!”
The internet world was filled with negativity nowadays. Hailey read the abusive comments left by the netizens without turning a hair. These were just irrelevant comments from irrelevant people. She had never taken such things to heart. Allan was pissed off. “Miss Newman, I know these artists. They’re working at Artistic Talent. The linchpin of the group is named Maureen Copeland, an internet celebrity and Andy Carter’s lover.” Andy’s father was the owner of Artistic Talent. In the past few years, the notorious playboy had ridden the wave of live streaming and kept over 300 internet celebrities. He was dubbed the prince of influencers. Hailey remembered how that woman had stuck to Brook like glue last night. She was such a coquet
“His taste is terrible,” she commented. Speaking of Andy, Allan had so much to tell her. “Miss Newman, I’m not complaining, but Andy has been undermining us all these years. Recently, half of the artists who request to rescind their contracts have been poached by him. I think he is behind all of this. Those minor celebrities and actresses alone wouldn’t have dared to challenge you in public. They are not even popular. I’m sure they have bought positions in the trending topics and hired trolls to attack you! That is how Artistic Talent has been doing things. Andy used to play the same trick on me, but I made it through by dint of my strong heart.”
At the thought of the sad past, Allan choked with sobs and covered his mouth with his little finger raised. Tears were welling up in his eyes. “Come on, don’t cry.” Chris pulled out the tissue, handed it to Allan, and
comforted him, “It’s okay, Miss Newman is back. With her backing you up, no one can bully you anymore!”
Allan blew his nose and hummed pitifully. Hailey was amused. Allan was such a drama queen. “Stop crying. Andy is just a clown. I’ll avenge you.” Hailey unhurriedly snapped screenshots of those comments, highlighted the NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
typos, and commented. “A piece of advice. Less partying and more reading.” “Your sentences are full of misspellings and incoherent. The punctuation is also wrong. Delete it and rewrite.”
She tweeted via the account of Crystaldale and mentioned those internet celebrities who were stirring up trouble. Since they started this, she would pull no punches. Hailey turned on the computer and typed on the keyboard. A more complete video was obtained and posted online along with a comment. “Gossips should be damned.”
Owen came back and immediately called a meeting with the executives. Even
lunch was skipped. Jose came over with a lunchbox and news. “Mr. Moore, your wife was attacked on the internet.” Owen browsed the web pages and furrowed his brows. Jose unfolded the

whole story, observed the expression of his boss, and said, “It was a joint attack, and I’ve had it investigated. The successor to Artistic Talent, Andy, hired trolls to support several artists who are working for him. Some of them maintain certain relationships with him. Apart from personal enmity, he has deliberately undermined Southern Star Entertainment. The strife between them is fierce.” “Andy,” Owen said in a deep voice, “he has been pretty active in the past few
years.”
Jose chewed over his words and probed, “Artistic Talent has been gaining momentum. We have several ads undergoing with them.” After a pause, he added, “Mr. Carter wants to have dinner with you and discuss the advertisements for the second half of the year.” Owen ignored it and asked, “How did Crystaldale deal with it?” “They posted something.” Jose found the tweets on his phone and showed
them to his boss. Owen took it and read them. The marks and annotations in the replies amused him. “Gossips should be damned.” Ouch. At a glance, he knew who had left that
comment. “So, she responded to them in person?” Owen’s calm eyes lit up. It was a question, but his tone was affirmative. He shook his head and smiled. “Naughty.”
Jose was stunned. Did he have a hallucination? What was Mr. Moore saying?
Hailey’s approach amused not only Owen but also many netizens. The
comment section was a hilarious scene. “That’s what I’m talking about. I itched to correct those misspellings. It’s called OCD!”
“LMAO! Is Miss Operations a teacher? She corrected the errors and remarked.
Should we grade them? I think they failed the test.” “That’s awesome and funny, hahaha…”
“I have a feeling that these were posted by Miss Newman. Listen to her remarks in the video. Isn’t the tone the same?” “Overbearing! I was wondering why she had thrown wine at others for no
reason. Is that gossip? It’s called slandering! If I were her, I couldn’t stand it either. Throwing wine at them is light for a punishment!”
“The villains sue their victim only to humiliate themselves, Miss Newman is
awesome. They deserved it.” “I’m curious about what the lady in red looks like. Does anyone have a picture
of her face?”
Public opinion changed fast. The netizens took delight in it. Not ready to give up, those celebrities dissed Hailey and bitterly accused her of not donating a penny. The editor-in-chief of Zero Hour, Grace, posted the specifics of Hailey’s donations. In fact, half of the funds raised at the party came from Hailey. She had kept a low profile and asked Chris to donate on her behalf.
Then Miss Newman and her Graona emerald necklace, which had been auctioned for more than 3 million dollars, topped the trending topics once again. Surprisingly, it was taken down in less than 30 seconds. She was really keeping a low profile.
In the quiet office, Owen browsed the web pages for a long time before
instructing in a serious voice, “Give Artistic Talent a call and tell Shawn that the deal is off. We’ll find another advertising partner for the second half of the
year.”
