Chapter 238
The escort scandal at Lowell Entertainment continued to escalate, leaving nearly all its high-profile celebrities in ruins.
Those who maintained their integrity, like Scarlett Ashcroft once did, remained obscure in the industry.
"River Banquet" became the last lifeline for Lowell Entertainment.
Director Richard Lowell had no time to spare for Sophia Laurent, fully immersed in filming.
After two lead actor replacements, the film's popularity noticeably declined.
Fortunately, Emily Lowell kept the buzz alive.
Though she had no notable works, her social media presence was staggering.
Richard managed to temporarily suppress the Derek Langley incident.
The fate of "River Banquet" would determine the survival of Lowell Entertainment.
Online whitewashing attempts surged.
"Director Lowell is devoted to art. How could he know about the filth within his company?"
"The Lowells are truly cursed to have someone like Derek Langley in their midst."
"Shouldn't Sophia Laurent take responsibility? After all, he's her adoptive mother's brother."
"Poor Emily, being targeted by her own sister like this..."
Emily's socialite persona attracted countless fans.
Luxury cars, mansions, and jewelry painted an enviable lifestyle.
Her image of innocence and kindness was deeply ingrained.
Many fans migrated from the Lowell brothers' fanbases.
Even after Christopher and Nathan Lowell's downfalls, Emily remained unshaken.
Fans saw her as their final solace.
She embodied purity and nobility.
A cold smile curled Sophia's lips as she read these comments.
She logged into her social media account and dropped a bombshell.
"Derek Langley was indeed recommended by Emily Lowell. I happen to know the reason."
After yesterday's Valdemar Group press conference, the entire internet knew Sophia's identity.
The title of Valdemar Group's chairwoman stunned the public.
Her status as Pearl Group's founder was overshadowed.
Online discussions intensified.
The post immediately caused an uproar.
"Sophia's dropping hints!"
"Major tea alert! Gather round!"
"Emily actually knew Derek Langley?"
"Could there be something shady between them?"
Emily's fans rushed to control the narrative.
"Just say it outright, Sophia. Stop being passive-aggressive!"
