Mary Scott's suspicion was quickly confirmed.
On the other end of the phone came Mia Anderson's anxious voice, "Someone edited clips of your live stream footage and uploaded them online. Everyone is criticizing you for dragging down Duke Blue by not properly recording the show."
Mary thought to herself, of course. She's been riding a wave of popularity lately; the show's viewership is already trending over thirty million, comparable to a hit variety show. It would be weird not to get blacklisted. She gently reassured Mia, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
"But..."
"Relax. The nastier they criticize now, the harder they'll get slapped in the face later." Mary smiled mischievously, her eyes gleaming with cunning. After all, she's signed with Raspberry Snacks. Simon Baker wouldn't dare to mess with her. He promised to clear her name, and he will. There's no way he'd let this continue unchecked.
She couldn't wait to see Duke Blue's fans' reactions when the truth came out.
