[The Ramos family’s entertainment company had just promoted Jessica’s debut not long ago, and now her public image has completely collapsed. How could she become a celebrity? Someone like her should be banished from the entertainment industry!]

Bertha quickly came to soothe him and gently rubbed his chest to calm. him down. “Evan, don’t get worked up. Take a moment to cool down.”
Evan's face reddened, and his voice was thick with emotion. “Look at your sons! The two of them are a disgrace! It’s embarrassing for these two to post our family affair on the Internet!
“What will people think of the Ramos family now? We're nothing but a joke!”
Nothing was more unacceptable for Evan than tarnishing the Ramos family’s reputation. 3/5

Frankie added with a solemn face, “Dad, there’s also the issue with the
Ramos Group's stock price. It’s fallen quite a bit due to the negative impact on our company’s image.”
Frankie’s brows remained furrowed as he looked at the tablet in his hands, the concern evident in his gaze
He had already called the company’s public relations department, asking them to minimize the impact of the situation. However, other forces seemed to fan the flames secretly, trying to vindicate Ashley and suppress the Ramos family. Charlie glanced at Jessica, who was sobbing quietly and handed her a glass of water. “Jessica, please stop crying.” Ryan sat down beside Jessica in a clean biker’s outfit with a rugged look.
“Jessica, don’t cry. Matthew is a jerk. How could he slap you? You took credit for Ashley’s lyrics, so what? It’s not worth to be angry about it.
“And Jeremy, how could he publicize your past on the Internet? You didn’t mean to take all the credit for Ashley's work. Now Jeremy’s actions. are just making everyone online criticize you.”
Looking exhausted, Frankie rubbed his temples and said to Jessica, “Now, the Internet is full of slander and calls for your exit from the
entertainment industry.
“For your safety, stay at home for a while. When this is over, I'll find your plays and variety shows. Okay?” Jessica sobbed with her head down, the red mark from Matthew’s slap still swollen on her face. She felt a deep sense of injustice.
It was not fair!
How could that despicable woman, Ashley, shine in glory and be praised by everyone? Meanwhile, Jessica felt like a pariah, scorned and forced to hide away at home.
She just couldn’t accept this outcome.
Jessica cried with her shoulders trembling, looking utterly pitiful.

Bertha’s heart ached for her. “My dear, please stop crying. It breaks my heart to see you like this.” Bertha said, her brows furrowed with concern. She turned to Frankie, desperation in her eyes. “Frankie, you must think of something. Can you help Jessica change her reputation?
“Maybe we can find some of Ashley’s scandals to spread around the internet and get people to criticize her. That might help Jessica get her reputation back too!”
