Once the Weibo post was out, the tone of the comments beneath began to shift—they went from profane rants to a deluge of logical arguments.

"Ding," someone @-mentioned Melody Thorne on Weibo.

"Is this really how it happened? If you’re using power to suppress, we still won’t see the truth. No matter what, I only believe in the truth I see. Howie, that male actor, is indeed using drugs—I’ve seen him at a bar. As for whether Miss Thorne plays around with men, I wouldn’t know about that, but I stand by the fact that he’s on drugs.

Moreover, the entertainment company under Miss Thorne’s name—three months ago it was owned by the Thorne Family, not her; she acquired it later. I recommend everyone choose such companies carefully."

Their words stirred up the onlookers, who left comments beneath: "What if it’s true? You’re just his boss, not someone who lives with him every day. Why are you so confident? If he really is on drugs, would you be willing to leave the entertainment industry with him?"

"Melody, stop, stop. No more Weibo posts. Let’s play light and avoid the heavy until we find out the truth. They won’t act like this anymore. These netizens just like causing a scene, and some small bloggers looking for fame are mixed in. We have no need to respond to them," Nina King hurriedly stopped her.

"Do you think Howie could be doing drugs?" Melody Thorne raised her head and asked thoughtfully.

"How could he? That’s absolutely impossible! Don’t be fooled by his bad temper and love of drinking—he’s very disciplined in life. Besides, he probably doesn’t have the money for drugs."

"Hmm? How do you know so much?"

Nina explained, "Because, because he was the first person to sign with our company back then, so I took a few extra looks at him..."

"Is it because he looks like your dream guy?" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Nina stammered, "...Yes, right, absolutely. For now, he does. So, I paid a bit more attention, alright?"

Melody Thorne nodded, "Alright."

Nina was speechless.

Just as she came to her senses, she noticed Melody Thorne had posted another Weibo, still fiercely defending Howie. That wasn’t the half of it—she said if anyone in her company was found to be using drugs, she’d willingly disappear from the entertainment circle.

Nina blurted, "...Are you going too far?"

"No," Melody Thorne said, opening that woman’s Weibo and discovering she was from Dynasty Entertainment.

The major companies were fiercely competing, but wouldn’t Dynasty Entertainment openly challenging her cause others to suspect them?

Melody Thorne felt something slipping through her fingers as she thought it over.

"Ding"

A notification popped up on Weibo again. This time, it wasn’t just anyone @-mentioning her; it was Jared Quinn, who reposted her Weibo adding a single sentence: "Boss of the Year."

Many people thought they were seeing things, but upon clicking, they discovered that it was Jared Quinn, who had just verified his account,

Everyone was astonished; Jared Quinn was actually on Weibo—he really made an account,

And the reason he joined Weibo was to support a woman, causing a massive stir online.

"Did you see it?" Jared Quinn’s deep voice flowed like a magical cello from the phone, smoothing all her recent agitation.

"Mhm," Melody Thorne raised the corners of her mouth. This silent support was far better than him solving everything behind the scenes. Jared really understood her more and more.

"Aren’t you going to say thank you? Hmm?"
