Most of Melody''s fans had remained silent because they understood that it was the trend to hate her. Melody''s fans would just getbeled as fanatics if they hade to her defense.


    [I know what kind of person Melody is. I won''t dislike her just because these people are incessantly criticizing her.]


    Many fans sought sce in Melody''s fan groups.


    [I''ve met Melody, and she''s a very nice person. It breaks my heart to see everyone throwing all this dirt at her. Melody hasn''t done anything wrong, so why are they insulting her like this? The incident with the cast has already been rified, so why isn''t anyone speaking up to rify things for Melody now?]


    [Don''t you know why? Melody isn''t signed on to anypany. She''s just a fledgling new actress. I heard that the filming for the movie has reached thetter half, and the entire crew is working tirelessly to meet the schedule. It''s very likely that they don''t even know about this major incident happening online! Sigh, at times like these, I really wish it were true that powerful forces are backing Melody. At least she could defend her innocence. Otherwise, we have no choice but to ept these people ndering her like this. I really feel sorry for her.]


    Melody had not expected that even in such dire circumstances, there would still be a group of fans steadfastly believing in her. Of course, she also noticed some fans silently leaving her fan groups after her incident. Some even transformed into haters, joining others online in criticizing her.


    Melody did not me these people. After all, they were strangers to her, and she had no right to demand their loyalty. Thus, she was especially appreciative of the fans who genuinely loved her, so much so that she would get teary-eyed whenever she read their messages.


    Melody silently said to this group of fans in her mind, ''Just give me a few more days. I promise I won''t let you all down.''


    Melody had to pull herself together for the sake of her fans. As some fans said, the filming of ''War Song'' was nearing its conclusion, and Melody needed to devote even greater mental energy to her role as Athena.


    With Beatrice as her support, Melody felt reassured to hand over this matter to her. Melody realized that this trust was something she did not even have for her own biological parents.


    Meanwhile, Wendy-who had just been released not long ago-returned home with a grudge. Ignoring the maid''s reminders to change her shoes, she tossed her bag onto the sofa and angrily threw herself onto the couch.


    Helen was in the kitchen preparing dinner for Ethan and Wendy, surprised to see her stepdaughter in such an angry state. She quickly set down the knife in her hand and handed her apron to the nearby maid before smiling and walking out.


    "What''s wrong, Wendy? Who dares to upset our precious daughter?" she asked.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    Wendy sneered. "Who else could it be? Besides that bitch Melody who ruined my life, who else could make me this angry?"


    Helen''s smile stiffened. "But she moved out a long time ago, and we haven''t had any contact for a while. How could she still bother you?"


    Wendy immediately put on a look of grievance, ran over to Helen, and wrapped her arms around her.


    "Haven''t you seen the news?" she whined. "Everyone is saying that Melody is suspected of bullying others. People online hate her."
