Ch. 375: Mr. Edwards’ Unraveled Life Chapter 375

Chapter 375

Bianca still dreams of stardom. As long as she remains undiscovered, she believes she can rise to fame, win awards, and secure her place at the top. But reality has a way of shattering illusions.

When she saw the report, panic set in. It exposed everything that happened in the bandits' den, along with secrets that had never been revealed before.

This wasn’t just bad news—it was a career-ending disaster.

Bianca had barely gotten a break, and now this scandal threatened to derail her future in the industry.

Several directors had recently approached her for roles, eager to work with her. She couldn’t afford to let this ruin everything.

Her face twisted with rage. “Who did this?”

Cleo hesitated before answering. “XNGY TV station.”

Bianca’s fury exploded. She hurled a cup across the room. “It’s her again—Norah! She’s been after me from the start! I’ve survived everything, and now this bitch doesn’t know her place?!”

Cleo had seen Bianca angry before, but never like this. There was a new, frightening edge to her rage.

Bianca seethed. “Just because she filmed one drama, she thinks she belongs in this industry? She’s nothing compared to me! Even if she lands roles, she’ll never surpass me!”

Cleo, choosing her words carefully, said, “Ms. Lynch, our last drama got slammed for excessive post-production edits. Netizens tore it apart, and even the novel’s author faced online harassment. Meanwhile, their drama is a massive hit.”

Bianca’s expression darkened. “What are you saying? That’s impossible! We were trending from the start! They were nobodies—how could they suddenly become popular? You’re lying to me! How did things turn out like this?!”

Cleo delivered the brutal truth. Bianca had assumed her first big hit guaranteed an easy road ahead, but her second drama had flopped. What was supposed to be a grand follow-up had instead been labeled a disaster. The more attention she attracted, the stronger the backlash became.

Her recent scandals only fueled public resentment. Netizens were growing tired of her behavior. Even her most loyal fans were turning away.

Seeing the flood of criticism online, Bianca felt ice creep into her chest.

She had always believed she’d be protected, that others would pave the way for her. She thought everything would resolve itself.

But reality was teaching her a harsh lesson.

Her hands trembled as she scrolled through the hate comments. “That bitch is trying to destroy me! Why?! Does she really think she can take me down? I’m Bianca! I’m going to be a top actress—she has no right to spread these lies!”

Furious, she swept everything off the table, sending it crashing to the floor. But she had to find a solution—fast.

“Call my agent! Now!” she shouted at Cleo, her eyes burning with desperation.

Cleo was just as overwhelmed. Journalists were bombarding her phone with calls. Frustrated, she shut it off before scrambling to contact Bianca’s agent.

When the agent finally answered, she was furious. “Bianca, you cause a crisis every other day! Do you have any sense of responsibility? You can’t just mess up and expect me to fix it every time! If you committed a crime, no company could protect you. Whoever manages you is doomed to fail. Figure this out yourself. If you can’t, prepare to be blacklisted. I’m done.”

Bianca’s face contorted with rage. “How dare you talk to me like that?! You believe baseless rumors? If you don’t handle this properly, the company will hold you accountable. You’re my agent—it’s your job to fix this! How am I supposed to keep working if you won’t do your job?!”

The agent scoffed. “Oh, now I’m your agent? But when you got into trouble, you didn’t come to me—you ran to Mr. Edwards. Now that he’s not helping you, suddenly I matter? Well, too bad. I’m not your babysitter.”

“Hey! Hey!” Bianca shouted, but the call cut off.

Her fingers clenched around the phone, her nails digging into her palm. No one was coming to her rescue.

Her agent had abandoned her.

Her fans were leaving.

Her career was crumbling.

With a frustrated scream, she threw her phone across the room. “They’re all waiting for me to fail! Traitors! Every last one of them!”

Cleo hesitated before speaking. “Ms. Lynch… shouldn’t you reach out to Mr. Edwards? You’re engaged to him—he’ll help you, right?”

Cleo still had no idea what had really happened. She assumed Bianca and Kevin were still deeply involved and that he would fix everything.

Bianca’s expression twisted. “If that would work, do you think I’d be in this mess right now?!”

She was delusional, but deep down, she knew Kevin had cut her off.

If he still cared, this scandal would have been buried long before it ever surfaced.

At that moment, the doorbell rang.

A maid entered. “Ms. Lynch, Mrs. Edwards is here to see you again.”

Cleo frowned. “Didn’t we agree to turn her away whenever she came?”

“Wait,” Bianca said, her voice sharp. “Is it Siena?”

Cleo sighed. “Mrs. Edwards keeps visiting. I always tell her you’re not home, but she won’t give up.”

“Let her in.”

Right now, Bianca had no allies. Siena was her last lifeline.

She knew Siena still felt indebted to her—and Bianca was willing to exploit that to the fullest.

Siena had shown up so many times, always hoping to see her. Today, her persistence was finally rewarded.

Overjoyed, Siena rushed in. “Bianca! Bianca!”

She carried a thermos, just as she always did. Every visit, she brought soup for Bianca.

Seeing the young woman she cared for so deeply, Siena’s face softened with warmth. She didn’t resent Bianca for avoiding her. Instead, she pitied her.

“I was starting to think I’d never see you again,” Siena said gently. “You look thinner… Have you been taking care of yourself? I made this soup for you—it’s very nutritious. You need to eat properly.”

She placed the thermos on the table. “It’s still hot.”

Bianca’s eyes turned red. In a soft, pitiful voice, she said, “Auntie, I’m so sorry. I’ve been too busy with work. I didn’t mean to keep you waiting.”

Siena took her hand. “I understand. I don’t blame you.” Then, noticing Bianca’s red-rimmed eyes, she frowned. “What happened? Are you crying? Did Kevin hurt you? I read a report saying you two are about to get married, but you moved out, and he doesn’t visit you. I had no way to reach you. If he’s treating you badly, I’ll confront him myself!”

Siena had been ecstatic about the supposed engagement. She hadn’t heard the truth directly from Bianca, so she had relied on online reports.

Hearing this, Bianca’s eyes welled with tears again. “It’s nothing, Auntie… Don’t worry about me.”

Cleo, however, had no filter. “How can you say that?! Ms. Lynch, your reputation is in ruins! People are interfering in your relationship, and now your career is in jeopardy! If this continues, you’ll be completely blacklisted!”
