Possessed No More: The True Star Returns to Claim Her Throne Chapter 132: Riley Perry Posts

On one side, of course, were people attacking Riley Perry. Calling her promiscuous was putting it mildly. These people, standing on their moral high ground, loudly demanded that she get out of the entertainnt industry.

On the other side were people demanding evidence, insisting it wasn’t true without proof. These people even schooled the haters on the law: slander, starting rumors, and spreading rumors were all illegal, and if they didn’t want to get sued, they shouldn’t speak carelessly.

Of course, aside from the anti-fans, the insults showed clear signs of paid posters, while most of those demanding evidence were Riley Perry’s fans.

When Riley Perry woke up, she found her phone flooded with missed calls. Friends she’d made from two different production crews, Nana, and Rocco were all on the list, and her direct ssages were at 99 .

She had put her phone on silent before bed, so she hadn’t heard a thing.

Tapping the most recent missed call, Riley Perry called Justin Locke right back.

Justin Locke answered almost imdiately and got straight to the point. "Have you seen what’s trending online?"

"Not yet, I just woke up."

"In the middle of the night, soone exposed that you’ve been in a relationship before. They claid the reason for the breakup was that you cheated and were a gold-digger. They even paid to get it on the trending list. I tried calling you the mont I found out, but I couldn’t get through.

So I contacted Rocco. I knew he had sothing that could prove your innocence, so I had my people start guiding public opinion, demanding that the original poster show so proof.

That way, we build up buzz without letting the narrative beco completely one-sided.

But it’s best not to drag this out. If you wait too long, netizens will get annoyed and start wondering why you didn’t clarify things sooner. So, your best bet is to contact your company, and then make a post."

He had also tried contacting Riley Perry’s agent, but the agent’s phone was off and still hadn’t been turned back on.

"Got it."

After hanging up, she skimd the trending topics, then opened Weibo and directly tagged @VernonJacobsV.

RileyPerryV: Mr. Vernon Jacobs, as the only person I’ve ever dated, I’d say we had an amicable breakup. Now that my na is being dragged through the mud, don’t you have sothing to say? @VernonJacobsV.

The mont she posted it, Chloe Sterling imdiately reposted her Weibo with a supportive emoji.

Talia White and her significant other followed, reposting and liking the post. Then, even Victoria Koenig and Roxanne Fulton liked it. ’Talia White and Chloe Sterling are one thing; they knew what happened between and Vernon Jacobs. But for Victoria Koenig and Roxanne Fulton to like it too... They’re being incredibly bold!’

Not five minutes after she thought this, she discovered that Best Actor King had also paid a visit to her Weibo page and left a comnt: "Go, Riley Perry!"

The comnts under Riley Perry’s post exploded. Every refresh added hundreds of new replies, and in no ti, the comnt count surpassed 10,000.

[So many people in the industry are supporting Riley Perry. That already says a lot.]

[I don’t care what anyone says. Our Old King took ti out of his busy schedule to cheer on Riley Perry, so I’m supporting her too.]

[I thought they were just faking their good relationship on the variety show, but it turns out it’s real!]

[When did Chloe Sterling, Talia White, and Jordan Joyce get so close with Riley Perry?]

[Fuck, Director Quinn just reposted and liked it too. Is Riley Perry really this well-connected in the industry?]

[I rember now! Riley Perry was announced for a role in Director Quinn’s new drama—she’s playing the fifth female lead. Jordan Joyce is the male lead, Talia White is the second female lead, and Chloe Sterling has a role too.]

[MyZaneIsTheBest: What’s this an? Riley Perry, are you saying your ex-boyfriend is our Zane?]

[ZaneLoves: The bitch is trying to clout-chase again! She really never learns! Believe it or not, we Octopus Fans will fla you right off the internet!]

[What’s the deal with a certain soone’s fans? No class at all. They say the fans reflect their idol, which is a terrifying thought!]

[Riley Perry tagged Vernon Jacobs directly, which proves she has a clear conscience. His fans should just shut up already.]

[According to an insider, Riley Perry and Vernon Jacobs did date for a while, but they broke up soon after. It’s been quite so ti since the breakup.

If things between them were really that bad, this wouldn’t just be coming out now.]

[Then what are we all still doing here? Go to Vernon Jacobs! He has to make a statent about this, right?

Riley Perry herself asked him to say sothing. If he stays silent, then sothing is definitely fishy.]

Riley Perry recognized a few of the accounts as paid posters. She’d seen them so many tis that they were familiar.

They were manipulating the narrative again—in other words, setting a trap for Vernon Jacobs.

After all, the last person who wanted to be in the spotlight right now was Vernon Jacobs.

Now that all the public’s curiosity was focused on him, it was all up to what Vernon Jacobs chose to do.

’Vernon Jacobs, Gigi Walsh, you’d better not disappoint !’ Riley Perry thought.

「At that mont, in Gigi Walsh’s villa.」

Vernon Jacobs was sitting on the sofa, with Gigi Walsh leaning against him in a seductive slip dress. They had just finished breakfast and were planning to cuddle for a bit when his phone started buzzing with one direct ssage notification after another.

He opened his phone to take a look, and when he saw what the ssages said, he was completely stunned.

’Weren’t people just tearing into Riley Perry? He’d been thrilled. This ti, she was surely finished—maybe even flad enough to quit the entertainnt industry.’

’How did the flas leap over to him in the ti it took to eat breakfast?’

But when he saw Riley Perry’s Weibo post, everything beca clear.

Gigi Walsh fud, "That jinx! Why does she always have to be the center of attention?! She’s the one getting attacked, so why is she tagging you?"

Vernon Jacobs was angry too—angry that Riley Perry had dragged him into it, angry at her heartlessness. But he still didn’t want to go along with the exposé and slander her. After all, he had been the one in the wrong back then.

"What else was she supposed to do? Our past was going to be dug up sooner or later. Now that she’s under fire, she obviously wants to say a few words in her defense..."

"You dare! I’m telling you, Vernon Jacobs, if you dare to defend her, don’t bla for being ruthless! You two already broke up. What’s it going to look like if you help her now? Don’t tell you’re still in love with her?"

"How is that possible?" Vernon Jacobs said. "I’m with you now. There’s no one else in my heart."

"Then you are not allowed to help her! Have you forgotten how she treated us before?"

"I don’t want to!" Vernon Jacobs argued. "But so many people are under my Weibo post demanding a statent. What will the netizens think if I say nothing at all?"

"I don’t care! You are not making a statent, and that’s final! Or better yet, just say that Riley Perry is lying."

"Have you forgotten? She said she has a video. If I open my mouth recklessly, she could completely destroy with it."

"That’s simple!" Gigi Walsh said. "In that case, I’ll just make the post..."

"Are you an idiot?" Vernon Jacobs shot back. "Why would you get involved at a ti like this?"

Now, Gigi Walsh was truly angry. Being called an idiot during playful banter was one thing—a kind of lovers’ quarrel. But to be called an idiot at a ti like this ant her boyfriend genuinely thought she was stupid.

"So, after all this, you still want to protect Riley Perry, don’t you? No matter what I say, it’s wrong. You won’t agree to anything I suggest, and you even called an idiot! Fine! Do whatever you want. We’re breaking up!"
