"Stop filming!" The male police officer immediately shouted, "Stop right now!"

The journalists didn’t care; they just kept taking pictures incessantly. Of course, Irene Spencer didn’t want her humiliating state caught on camera. She raised a hand, pulled the brim of her hat down over her face, and quickly ducked her head.

"Officer, why are you arresting Irene Spencer?"

"Is she really involved in the bombing case?"

"Officer..."

...

"No comment for now! Once the investigation is complete, we’ll provide an explanation to the public!" Michael Freenan snapped. He then immediately walked over and got into the police car.

The driver started the car, and the police car sped off, its siren blaring.

The reporters took another barrage of photos of the departing vehicle before turning back to surround the two assistants.

"What exactly happened?"

"What did Miss Spencer do?!"

...

The two assistants were now panicking. They hastily pushed through the crowd and scrambled into a taxi.

"Quick... follow them!"

The taxi driver looked troubled.

"Chase... a police car?!"

"Yes, chase them! Go!" one assistant exclaimed frantically, slapping the car seat. "We’re just going to see what’s happening. The police won’t arrest you. Just drive!"

"That’s right, hurry up and drive!" the other urged.

Resigned, the taxi driver started the car.

Seeing the two assistants leave, the reporters rushed over, got into their own cars, and sped out of the residential complex.

Irene Spencer swiftly dominated the headlines of all major media outlets, her name instantly shooting to the top of public attention.

Unfortunately, this was the kind of attention she had never wished for.

Simultaneously, the Emperor Media Company officially issued a statement. It explained that Irene Spencer’s contract had already expired. Furthermore, considering her personal conduct and image no longer aligned with the company’s values, they had decided to terminate their prior agreement.

During the subsequent press conference, Gerry Johnson, Manager of Emperor Media’s Talent Department, personally elaborated on this announcement. He admitted that the company had made this decision a month prior.

He also stated they would sue Irene Spencer. She had allegedly acted without company authorization, damaging her personal image and the overall image of Emperor Media, thereby causing significant losses. Consequently, they would demand compensation as stipulated in her contract.

As soon as this press conference concluded, the journalists immediately understood: Emperor Media had cut ties with Irene Spencer and would no longer protect her.

Consequently, media outlets that had previously shown some restraint now unleashed their full arsenal against her without hesitation.

"Is Irene Spencer a ’White Lotus’ or a ’Green Lotus Bitch’?"

"Exclusive: The Truth About Irene Spencer’s Plastic Surgery!"

"Female Celebrities Across the Industry Denounce Irene Spencer!"

Headlines like these abounded. In short, it was a classic case of kicking someone when they’re down. To grab eyeballs, the media outlets naturally dug up all sorts of dirt.

The information Anabel Wilton had given to Kris Cooper was also quickly processed by media outlets and exposed to the public.

The once supposedly diligent, noble, and gentle Irene Spencer was suddenly exposed, her true colors revealed.

She had allegedly manipulated her fans to attack actresses who disrespected her; despite her entire face being the product of plastic surgery, she still claimed to be a natural beauty; media outlets even unearthed stories of her escorting clients for drinks when she first entered the entertainment industry...

When these revelations surfaced, the world was in an uproar.

Although she had faced sporadic negative press recently, thanks to Emperor Media’s PR efforts, various other measures, and the staunch support of her fanbase, she had managed to salvage her image to some extent. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

With this blow, the image that had just been painstakingly repaired finally came crashing down.

Accusations poured in from all sides. Even her die-hard fans, who had always defended her, lamented that they had been "blinded," and one by one, they turned from devoted fans into harsh critics.
