More and more people were shaming the new artiste for being a terrible influence.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed since the picture first surfaced on Weibo.

X Entertainment still hadn't given any response. Neither did Lukas.

Various competing companies that considered Lukas their latest competition were beginning to feel proud of themselves for eliminating him from the industry.

Everyone assumed that X Entertainment and himself had admitted to the rumors. They even believed X Entertainment had dropped him as their latest upcoming talent, who was supposed to take the world by storm.

Suddenly, everyone was celebrating.

That afternoon, the person who originally posted the incriminating photo of a young Lukas smoking suddenly published a post on Weibo.

In his post, he explained the circumstances of the bullies that led to Lukas smoking in the past. Additionally, he admitted that he made up the rumors to tarnish his reputation.

He then described the motivation behind his action, claiming that he was paid off by a company that belonged to Lukas' competitor, Matthew Sunder. They had agreed to collaborate in making up rumors about the artiste to ruin his public image.

Right after his post went public, X Entertainment forwarded it on their official page, followed by an official statement.

"Lukas Ronaldo had been falsely accused over some sensational rumors that were simply untrue. We have been silent because we were conducting our own investigation to find the source of this photograph.

Lukas was a victim of bullying back

in elementary school. He was constantly bullied by a group of students ted by this person. They

had forced him to smoke at the ket

young age and even relieved themselves in his lunchbox. These are only some examples of the vile things they did back then.

"We are grateful to all the fans who stood by Lukas over the last few days and were willing to have faith in him from the beginning. Thank you.

"We hope none of the observers will continue to be fooled by these false rumors. See the truth for yourselves."

The official statement attracted a lot of attention as soon as it was published.

Suddenly, statements of apologies started pouring into X Entertainment's official page.

The Weibo post was only published a second ago, but there were already over a million comments—

"As someone who never pays attention to the entertainment gossip, I'd like to apologize to Lukas. I was too rash. Sorry, Lukas."

"I feel sad for Lukas. He went through so much. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have stopped being a fan. I'm sorry, I was wrong."
