Chapter 956
Chapter 956
After Chelsea boarded the plane, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. What's so special about a silly show that invited Sylvia and Franklin?
Since the beginning of the journey, their phones had been confiscated.
Now that she was no longer on the show, her phone was returned to her.
So, she had no idea about the online live broadcast, including the current popularity of their show.
And she didn't know that the homepage of the Maskelyne Group's video had a big promotion, featuring photos of Sylvia and Franklin. If she had a little bit of brains, she would think about what was special about this show.
Especially since the show was closely related to Maskelyne Entertainment.
No matter how you looked at it, it wasn't just an ordinary rubbish show, but in her anger, she didn't even take her brain with her.
She sat angrily in her seat and took out her phone to start tweeting.
"There's nothing you can rely on, not even your best friend. The one who breaks your heart and hurts you is often your best friend."
This... was too profound, almost directly implying that Honey had deceived her.
She made herself look like the most wronged and biggest victim.
Just because she participated in a variety show, walked a road, climbed a mountain?
Was it necessary to act like this?
She posted one tweet, then another, "Ah - good people are often taken advantage of, and free people are often indifferent. Why am I always the one who gets hurt? Why am I always the one who gets deceived?"
This... another tweet directly implied the production team, blatantly telling everyone that she had not asked for money to participate in this show.
She acted like she was the most pitiful and miserable.
The deliberate self-pity nearly overflowed from the screen, almost impossible to hide.
This operation was simply shocking.
After posting, she happily put on her eye mask to rest.
Climbing a mountain was quite exhausting, and now that she was on the plane, she needed to rest.
She thought she was so pitiful and unlucky that it would surely stir up sympathy from netizens, and everyone would pity and sympathize with her.
Especially as a delicate female celebrity, who was also pretty, she was sure to evoke the protective instincts of those otaku.
However... she never expected that she would be the target of public outrage, and the angry masses were not targeting Honey or the production team, but herself!
When she got off the plane and happily turned on her phone, and went back to Twitter, she saw that many people were mentioning her, and the 99+ messages made her feel a little sweet inside.
This should be good, she was becoming popular and getting attention.
Surely the netizens were all sympathetic towards her, but when she opened the messages, she was dumbfounded.
All of them were cursing at her.
"Are you crazy? You just climbed a mountain for a while, and the production team paid you twenty thousand, and you still dare to complain?"
"You dare to act pitiful? Didn't Honey treat you with the utmost kindness?"
"You're deliberately acting pitiful online? Aren't you too disgusting?"
"Trash like you should just get out of the entertainment industry."
...
Chelsea stared at her phone in shock. What the heck was going on? She was being backlashed for acting pitiful? How was that possible?
How could these netizens be so discerning?
She nervously checked the trending topics, only to see a new hashtag at the top: #Chelsea's Twenty Thousand Salary Screenshot.
A screenshot?
She quickly clicked on it and saw a tweet from Go Everywhere's official account, with a screenshot showing the transfer payment for her participation in the show and climbing the mountain.
The screenshot displayed her name, with no mention of her manager or company, just a direct transfer to her personal account.
At that time, she didn't think twice and simply accepted the money.
In fact, she was angry. They transferred the money to her, and she accepted it, which was against the rules. She should have transferred it to the company or her manager...
But the fact was, she did accept the money, and then went out saying that they didn't pay her was also true... and even accusing Honey of deceiving her was true...
It had stirred up the anger of netizens.
Even more so, it was true.
Netizens were ranting at her like crazy, "With such a high salary, you dare to swear at others?"
"You got twenty thousand just for climbing a mountain for a while?"
"We work hard for just a few thousand a month."
"Isn't your salary too high?"
At that moment, in the live broadcast room, Honey smiled sweetly and said, "Oh, Captain Sylvia said this is a charity show, so I decided to contribute as well and donate my salary."
With that said, everyone expressed their intention to donate their earnings from the show, as it was a good thing to do and a chance to gain a good reputation in front of the camera. Who wouldn't be willing, right?
However... some people were not willing.
Because they were poor!
For example, Alani, she was a film school student! She didn't have much living expenses, and now she finally had a chance to participate in a show and had to donate her salary? What a joke?
She looked disdainfully at Honey. That woman was disgusting to suggest such a thing.
Did she think everyone could spend money like her? But whether it was Jacky or Terry, they all said they would donate their earnings.
Even Lorelei and Poppy said they would too, so if she was the only one who didn't speak up, it would make her look stingy and out of place.
She had no choice but to reluctantly say she would donate as well.
It was as painful as having her heart torn out and her flesh cut. She finally had a chance to do a show, and she didn't have any money? Was there no justice in the world?
As a film school student, it was rare to get the opportunity through Poppy, but after running a commercial, she still didn't have any money? Was this a mistake?
She was so angry she almost fainted.
But she knew she couldn't be cursed out by netizens.
So she could only force a smile, but her heart was bleeding inside.
At that moment, netizens, upon hearing that Honey and the others were all going to donate their earnings, directed their anger even more towards Chelsea.
"Why are you such trash?"
"Look at my two goddess sisters, they're donating their money."
"They're all doing charity work, what are you doing?"
"Are you tired? Are we tired?"
Chelsea was almost on the verge of a breakdown from being cursed at. She frantically called her manager, unable to help but cry, "What do I do? I'm about to be cursed to death."
"What else can you do? You're participating in the Maskelyne Group's show and you're still making a fuss. Do you think you're fed up with living? Don't you even think about why? Why did Honey, Mrs. Maskelyne, Sylvia, and Mr. Maskelyne all participate in this show? Do you have a brain made of air?"
"I didn't think so much? Isn't it just a stupid show? Can't they invite Sylvia and Franklin just because Darnell and Mr. Davila have a good relationship?" Chelsea still thought the show was rubbish as ever.
The manager couldn't help but be furious, "Are you out of your mind? Let me tell you, Chelsea, that show was invested by Sylvia and the Maskelyne Group! Understand?"
Chelsea's head exploded.
"Are you saying... this was invested by the Maskelyne Group and Sylvia?"
She panicked, "But, but why did so many people in the circle refuse?"
"Because they have blind eyes!" The manager was furious, "Honey pulled you in, and you stupidly bailed. Are you crazy?"
"What should I do now? Should I go back?" Chelsea became even more flustered, "I'm also an artist of the Maskelyne Group, should I go back?"
"Sorry, Chelsea, you've been blacklisted," the manager's voice was cold, "As an artist who doesn't know how to appreciate, do you think the company will continue to provide you with resources? Especially with your little tricks, do you think Mrs. Maskelyne won't see through them?"
Just now, the manager received a notice from the high-levels of the Maskelyne Group that Chelsea had been frozen.
Chelsea screamed, "What are you saying? Who gave you the authority?"
"I'm an employee of the Maskelyne Group, and I naturally follow the leadership's arrangements. The boss told me, you've been frozen." The manager said before simply hanging up the phone.
At the same time, Chelsea's Twitter account was taken away by the manager, and an apology statement was posted.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have made those remarks, I apologize to the Go Everywhere production team, and to everyone, it was my bad work attitude that caused a negative impact."
After this apology statement was released, two minutes later, another statement of an indefinite retirement was released.
"I made a mistake and must take responsibility. I am very sorry for bringing negative influence to everyone. From today, I will retire indefinitely, I hope everyone can understand."
All posted in Chelsea's tone.
Chelsea was bewildered, completely bewildered.
She stared at her Twitter being taken offline, tears almost falling out of her eyes.

Her acting career was ended before it even took off, even though she had the potential to succeed, as she did a good job in a web series.
It was all because of Honey, if it wasn't for her, she wouldn't have participated in this show, and she wouldn't have offended Sylvia and Franklin.
The people at Go Everywhere, without their phones, had no idea about the chaos online.
They had already reached halfway up the mountain and were sitting there resting.
There was a village nearby with people and a good view.
"Oh dear, we've finally arrived," Sylvia put away the map and looked around, seeing lush trees, wild grass, and some terraced fields scattered with plenty of fruit trees.
The sparsely-packed houses in the village were huddled together, and many villagers watched them with genuine smiles.
The production team had arrived a week ago to communicate with the villagers and prepare for filming in the village.
