Chapter 40 No One Will Admit to Liking a Jerk
40 (Vouchers
She leisurely washed up. Sitting on the sofa, she was drinking milk and looking at her phone.
A whole day had passed, but Hector was still on trending topics.
It was normal. Now, even if he paid to get those trending topics removed, he wouldn’t succeed.
The opponent Hector had been suppressing and those whose interests were sna tched away by him were enjoying tra mpling on him. They wished that Hector could disappear from the entertainment industry.
Hector’s fans all went crazy.
A few of them still had some rationality left and unfollowed Hector while the majority of them were madly defending him.
They caused trouble everywhere. Those fans described Hector’s first love as a bit ch, the woman who exposed the affair as a hater, and the clout-chasing guys to be da mned in hell.
And they insulted so hard that the official social media accounts of several magazines run by Orange Entertainment disabled the comment function. They said that the company was kicking down the ladder and cursed that they wouldn’t be able to sell even a single magazine.
They also plagued Orange Media’s official website with insults and called to report to the government that the company had tax evasion, political problems, and the messy private life of its owner. Rose suspected that Flourish Media asked some people to pretend to be Hector’s fans to make things difficult for Orange Entertainment.
As a result, the Public Relations Department of Orange Entertainment claimed that they were also a victim…
Anyway, Hector’s affair was shocking. His fans were no better than him. Their unreasonable actions were astonishing…
However, it was the reaction of a normal person. After all, no one would admit to liking a jerk.
Even if the fans’ hearts were broken, they wouldn’t admit it and would swear to follow Hector forever.
But as time passed, they would unfollow him and be fans of other celebrities.
How heartless they were!
Rose didn’t need to check Hector’s business opportunities because her colleagues were updating it in a group chat.
“It’s confirmed. Hector just lost his title of ‘a dear friend of luxury brands’. He won’t be invited to the press conference for the launch of the new autumn clothes of those brands!”
He was so miserable.
Rose sat up straight.
Few celebrities would be deprived of this title after a similar affair.
After all, luxury brands would establish long-term cooperation with their spokesperson, and behind the brands was the competition of business tycoons.
“He’s now abandoned by the business world. I have the exact information that Hector signed a bet-on agreement with Sunny Summer Entertainment. Glory Holdings was considering if they should save him. It’s probably because they have been targeted that they abandoned him.”
“The brands that were going to work with Hector suspended the
33.28%
cooperation when they noticed his bad reputation.”
“A variety show with him as a candidate would be broadcast tonight, but I got the inside news that the one displayed tonight will be the next episode where he wasn’t present. No one knew if his part would be deleted, remade, or edited…”
No wonder Hector was in such a bad situation. Business owners started a war. How could Hector keep his important resources?

Rose scrolled up.
“The skincare product brand hasn’t canceled the cooperation, but they have withdrawn the ads from the stores. I questioned them as a fake fan, and the customer service replied that he was still the
spokesperson.”
“The instant noodle brand didn’t change him as the spokesperson but banned a few posts of interactions with him. I insulted them as a fake fan and the official account replied that there was something wrong with the platform and that they didn’t ban the posts…”
These actions were expected because his fans were still willing to buy the products he endorsed.
The brands spent so much on Hector, so how could they end the endorsement before making a profit?
But then, Rose saw thousands of people boycotting products endorsed by Hector.
Some “onlookers” named related brands, saying that they were protective of a notorious actor and that they would never use their products again.
Hector’s reputation was deteriorating.
After just 24 hours, he became a jerk from a celebrity.
Rose’s phone was ringing.
She took a look and picked up the call.
“Young lady, you should be careful. I heard that Hector was going to revenge on you.” The caller was Hector’s first love.
Rose was the first one to contact her and the first one to get the truth from her.
But in the end, Rose didn’t take action. The girl exposed everything by herself.
“How did you hear about that?” Rose was intrigued.
“His agent came to me and threatened me. He said that everyone who targeted him would have a miserable ending, including you,” the girl explained, “I didn’t betray you, but somehow, they thought that you were behind everything…”
“Then, who did it?” Rose asked back. “Are you still unwilling to tell me? Who else contacted you and asked you to expose it?”
“I’m sorry. I promised that guy to never say it. I just called to remind you. Hector is revengeful. He has spent a lot of effort to get popular. Now that his fame was ruined, he wouldn’t just let you go…”
The girl hung up after saying this.
Rose got up and decided to dress up before going out.
Tonight was the team-building activity of the department.
And it was also a celebration of humiliating Orange Entertainment.
Rose just opened the door after wearing a beautiful dress and lipstick of the most popular color…
She immediately wanted to close it.
But it was too late.
With a bang…
Judson, who had been standing outside, held the door.
He stared at Rose with gloomy eyes. “Where are you going?”
Rose was in an orange dress with dots, and her fluffy hair was tied into a braid that lay on her shoulder with a hairband of the same color as her hair. Rose just looked like an elf who was just born in a flower.
Rose had to loosen her grip on the door. She was far weaker than Judson.
She stepped back.
Judson had stepped into the room.
He looked around her residence without scruples.
The small apartment had a living room and a bedroom, but it was much better than the shabby one in the old residential complex.
The furniture was clean and warm. On the wall hung an abstract painting and on the wardrobe were cute dolls.
But there were dresses in different colors on the sofa.
It could be seen that Rose dressed neatly for the event happening next.
What dazzled Judson was the fact that Rose didn’t have a white dress.
He looked down and found that Rose was even wearing denim-colored
shoes.
Both she and the room were dazzlingly beautiful.
“Mr. Roach, how can I help you?” Rose became wary.
Judson barged in just like a demon entering the Garden of Eden,
driving away the warm atmosphere in the room.
