Chapter 1656: Chapter 1648: Joanna, how do you plan to respond?

In a moment, Joanna felt as if she had been transported back to the time when she was plagued by scandals, with people cursing her all over the internet.

Joanna knew she was back on the hot search list, and it was because she had landed the role of Female Lead 2 in a movie. At the time, she was in a car on her way to a party.

After finishing the TV series, Gary White invited the entire film crew out for dinner to celebrate that evening.

She shared a car with Gary White.

Nina was the first to see Joanna’s hot search. After watching for a while, she angrily handed Joanna her phone.

"Joanna, your stepsister is badmouthing you again online." Nina said angrily, "It’s clear she’s saying you got the role only through your connections."

As Joanna’s assistant, Nina knew that Joanna got the role of Female Lead 2 in the movie, not through connections.

But as soon as Annie posted that tweet, it solidified the notion that Joanna had gained the role through back channels.

On top of that, Holly Saxby posted a similar tweet at this time, adding another accusation to Joanna’s list.

"And what’s with Holly Saxby? Is she implying you stole her role?"

"It’s like she and Annie are harmonizing together, as if they had planned to target you from the start."

Joanna looked at the phone for a while, her expression still calm.

It wasn’t surprising that Annie would do such a thing.

As for Holly Saxby...

Joanna didn’t think there was anything to be angry about.

The fact that she, as a newcomer, could get the role of Female Lead 2 was hard to believe even for her at the time.

Holly probably really thought Joanna stole her role.

"Joanna, how are you going to respond?" Nina asked, looking at Joanna’s calm expression and worried for her, "Now it seems like everyone believes their words, thinking you went through the backdoor and stole Holly’s role."

"Public opinion is really unfavorable for you."

Joanna’s TV series had just wrapped up.

In a while, it would be broadcast on television.

The fact that she, the Female Lead 1, had made bad press during this period would undoubtedly affect the show’s ratings.

Even if Kelvin Norman, the male lead, was involved.

If a majority of people find Female Lead 1 irritating, audiences won’t buy it even with Kelvin Norman involved.

Joanna knew the stakes, so she had to handle this situation.

But for the moment, she hadn’t figured out the right way to deal with it.

As she was about to send a message to Linda, she heard Nina exclaim in surprise, "Oh!"

"Joanna, Faye Lister is speaking up for you."

Nina stared at her phone screen, surprised.

Joanna was puzzled: "Faye Lister is speaking up for me?"

"Yeah, I just saw that Faye Lister posted a blog in your defense." Nina followed Faye Lister on her blog, so she saw Faye’s posts right away.

"Take a look. Isn’t Faye speaking up for you? Joanna, are you and Faye good friends? She rarely speaks up for others."

Joanna looked down at the phone screen.

Then she saw the blog post Faye Lister had just posted.

Faye Lister wrote: I have seen some comments and did not want to meddle, but now the rumors have gotten out of hand. As someone who knows the truth, I just can’t help myself. There is no so-called backdoor, and no so-called stealing of roles. Joanna got the role of Female Lead 2 entirely through her own ability. I auditioned with her, so I know best how she performed at the time.
