CHAPTER 51: ANGRY FANS

Alisha could only smile at Maxine. She was always so excited whenever the discussion involved how to humiliate Katherine and make her pay for her misdeeds.

The latter probably thought there were no cameras on set, but photoshoots like this would always have a cameraman ready to capture behind-the-scenes moments that show how both models interacted with each other.

"I think you should upload the video now," Dante suddenly said. He was also annoyed at what Katherine had done to Alisha, and if she would just let him, he would handle her in such a manner that she should walk the other side as soon as she saw Alisha from a hundred-mile radius. "Indeed, this would get fans outraged and put Katherine down. Your popularity has been low because of Katherine’s fans bashing you every day."

Dante knew little about the entertainment industry, but that didn’t mean he didn’t use his phone daily.

Alisha thought about it. She’d expected Katherine to do something awful to her. First, it had been stepping on her dress and then pushing her off the stage. It was obvious she wanted to hurt her.

"Upload it half an hour before Nix uploads the official photos," she instructed and Maxine’s grin stretched so far to her cheeks Alisha was almost terrified.

"Got it," she waved them goodbye and left the mansion.

The couple sat in silence before Dante spoke. "I’ll go get the first aid kit."

"Don’t worry about it. It’s just a slight bruise. I’ll just apply cream on it and it’ll be fine," she protested.

Dante gave her a glare that instinctively made her shut up. She simply looked away as he went for the first aid kit.

As for Maxine, being Alisha’s manager, she was giving the countdown to when Nix would upload the pictures, announcing their newest jewelry collection.

Once it was half an hour prior to their announcement, she tapped the upload

button, sending out the clips of Katherine intentionally pushing Alisha off the stage. And immediately, the algorithm favored her by stretching the video to thousands of netizens who shared the clip.

"Wait a second, is that Katherine doing such a thing to Alisha? Is she really stupid to push her in broad daylight, in front of people?"

"Isn’t this the cheater? Why is she hurting Alisha?"

"I’m Katherine’s fan but this is too much. The stage was high up and she dared to push her and deny she didn’t? It was obvious she was trying to make Alisha fall on her ankle and never walk again."

"Katherine is truly a two-faced bitch."

Maxine’s grin stretched further and further when she read the comments. A few minutes later, as expected, Nix’s official social media handle posted the pictures, and hundreds of thousands of comments kept flooding in.

Katherine was at her home, a smile on her face when she saw Nix had officially uploaded the pictures. She noticed how weird she looked standing in front of Alisha, despite trying so hard to match her energy.

In the other photos, it was obvious she was trying to mock Alisha after trying so hard to pose like her.

Katherine’s smile faltered a little, irritating crawling at her skin at how a rookie was able to give off such a powerful pose and she wasn’t able to.

But Katherine didn’t mind. Nix was still just one brand. It may be popular but there were other brands more popular than it, and just a few days ago, Stella, her manager had told her how many brands had contacted her asking to work with Katherine.

Katherine reached for the comment section and her smile instantly disappeared from her face.

"She pushed Alisha off the stage and came here to make a fool out of herself. She looks like she’s holding in a fart."

"Who gave this woman the award of a top model, I have to ask. Imagine standing next to a rookie and looking so chopped."

"She tried to ruin a model’s career while looking like a frog on hunger strike."

"Fuck you, Katherine!! Alisha cooked you in this photoshoot."

Katherine had a look of confusion on her face as she read the comments one after the other, wondering how her fans had come to find out she’d pushed Alisha off the stage.

She searched online and found it. It was taken from an angle that made it obvious she’d intentionally done it. It was uploaded half an hour ago.

She read through the comments, her eyes almost bulging out of their sockets at the curses her fans sent her way.

She received a notification from another video she’d been tagged in.

It was the video clip of when she’d stepped on Alisha’s satin dress and it ripped, exposing her thighs and smooth legs.

"This woman, she’s starting to piss me off now. To think I believed she was such a sweet person. I should have known. Someone who replaced another woman after she’d suddenly disappeared, she’d shown from the beginning she was up to no good."

"This is maltreatment. They’re both from the same company, models for the same brand. Veila should say something before this escalates. It’s obvious Alisha is getting bullied by her senior just because she’s a junior."

That comment received ten thousand likes in just five minutes.

And then there was the last comment, "Alisha should really give out her workout routine fast before I die. Body so tea!!"

Out of anger, Katherine clenched her phone so hard that it would have broken into pieces if she were strong enough.

"That woman," she hissed under her breath, her teeth gnashing so hard it would produce a makeup powder at this rate.

Nathan walked out of the bathroom, a towel on his hair, drying it.

"What happened?" He asked.

Katherine gave him a tight smile. "It’s nothing," she replied, taking the towel from him and drying it off for him instead."

Nathan didn’t bother insisting. He also had his problems to encounter, like the mole who’d been snooping around his company.

Once Katherine was sure Nathan was in deep slumber, she snuck out and gave someone a phone call.

"Mason, I need you to do something for me."
