Chapter 2013
Rumor had it that the Carters were a very close-knit family and that their children were all successful and kept a low profile. There had never been any shape or form of scandal revolving around the family, whether internally or externally. With this information, Decker ruled out the possibility that Isabel was backed by a direct family member. Instead, it must either be a shareholder or a high-ranking member of Carter Corporation.
The identity of this person was currently unknown.
One way or another, this person was just someone working at Carter Corporation. A mere employee at Carter Corporation could not possibly be a match for him, Decker Rockwell!
Meanwhile, Isabel was busy chatting with several of her friends in the entertainment industry.
In addition to congratulating her on reclaiming the roles that were rightfully hers, they were curious about how she managed to pull it off.
Isabel was careful to not let outsiders find out about her connection to Carter Corporation. With that in mind, she stole a page from Isabella and told them, "| got them back purely based on merit.”
It was a clear enough hint that she did not want to elaborate, so they leave her be. Ding!
She received several voice messages from Carla.
She proceeded to listen to them one after the other.
"Isabel, have you seen the latest news? The showrunners of ‘Legend of the Goddess’ and 'The Wonder just posted another statement on their page explaining that the entire ordeal between you and Isabella was all a misunderstanding. 'Legend of the Goddess' says that a new employee at their office made the mistake of confusing you with Isabella, which is why they accidentally issued the role that was supposed to be yours to Isabella instead. They are publicly apologizing to Isabella for the unfortunate mixup.
“As for ‘The Wonder’, their explanation is that they were originally going to introduce two guest stars for the new season, which are you and Isabella. They issued invitations to both of you but due to some complications that came up later, it turned out they could only bring one new guest star to the new season, which ended up being you. They haven't had time to clarify the situation with Isabella before everything went down.
“Anyway, the point is that they are taking the blame for what happened. The netizens have stopped poking fun at Isabella and are directing their anger at the showrunners instead."
Carla hissed sharply, "What are they trying to do? It’s obvious that Isabella was the one trying to steal the roles. Why are they trying to defend her?"
Isabel smiled and replied, "Someone from higher-up must have applied pressure on them.”
Decker must have found out that she was backed by Carter Corporation and was careful to not punch above his weight class. While he could not steer this situation back in his favor, it was still in his power to cleanse Isabella's name and perform some damage control.
The showrunners of "Legend of the Goddess" and "The Wonder" must be wary of his influence, which led to them coming up with these two statements. Their aim was to take responsibility for everything that happened so they could reverse the damage inflicted on Isabella's reputation.
"Isabella made a new post just now. She said something about having learned a lesson from this and that she will be careful to not make rash announcements before signing official contracts. She's playing this like she was the victim, and now her fans are out in full force blaming the showrunners of 'Legend of the Goddess’ and 'The Wonder’. How low can she be?!"
Carla was furious, and her voice raised to a sharp pitch.
Isabel did not seem as bothered. "This was their choice. Let them be. Don't worry about it."
The showrunners of "Legend of the Goddess" and "The Wonder" must have thoroughly considered the consequences before making those announcements. They knew Isabella would pounce on the chance to clear her name.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Either way, none of this had anything to do with Isabel.
Carla must have caught on as well, so she threw in a few more complaints about Isabella before dropping the subject.
Isabel hung up after that and started thinking about what to have for dinner.
Ring!
The doorbell rang.
She was not expecting any visitors. She went to the door and asked, "Who is that?” "It's me." A familiar, masculine voice came through.
She was startled.
Roland?
