Although the statement was quite disheartening, it managed to temporarily stabilize the stock prices of both The Jacobs Group and The Houston Group.
However, Holly Houston and Nathan Jacobs no longer interacted privately.
Under such circumstances, the semi-finals of "Competition Dance" were broadcast.
Due to malicious editing, July Quinn, following international norms, was harshly criticized and became a hot topic.
[If someone like July Quinn can perform with such conduct, then I too could debut on the spot.]
[I strongly suggest that the relevant authorities raise the entry barriers to the entertainment industry, and not let any trash enter it.]
[So, is the incident where July Quinn pushed down Nina Quinn, almost causing her to miscarry, not going to be investigated? Just let her get away with it?]
[In my opinion, Master Callahan should act now to seek justice for Nina Quinn and her child. After all, July Quinn is no longer her sister-in-law.]
Yes, a chorus of voices condemning July Quinn, interspersed with a few resilient online vendors, and occasional mentions of Holly Houston and Nathan Jacobs.
[I didn’t expect that Holly Houston, who seemed quite proper on the surface, would play so wildly in private?]
[I can’t do it. Now when I see Holly Houston’s face, the image of her eating shit pops up in my mind. I need to go puke.]
[The one above, it was fine until you mentioned it, now I need to go puke too.]
However, the comments about Holly Houston and Nathan Jacobs were soon entirely deleted.
As a result, the effect of this episode was still quite good.
Moreover, due to the previous video leak about Holly Houston, people who were unaware of the program were curious to see what the passionate video protagonist looked like, so they streamed this episode, which actually outperformed the previous ones.
Consequently, the bosses who had previously canceled their partnerships due to the video leak started calling Holly Houston again, wanting to invest in "Competition Dance" once more.
Feeling the pride she had lost previously was regained, Holly Houston deliberately raised the investment threshold.
Although the bosses had complaints, they knew that withdrawing their investment immediately after the incident was somewhat unkind, so they could only grit their teeth and agree.
There was no choice; "Competition Dance" had become extremely popular recently.
From 80-year-olds to 3-year-olds, all were viewers of "Competition Dance," easily criticizing July Quinn a few times in passing.
And this was just the first season.
Once the second season starts with this audience base, it won’t be far from success.
Seeing profits to be made, the businessmen increased their investment.
In a blink, it was time for the "Competition Dance" showdown night.
Holly Houston especially invited judges and several investors to her small apartment for a party, streaming the "Competition Dance" finals while celebrating their victory.
Red wine, exquisite pastries, various fruits...
They clinked glasses, they cheered.
Especially Holly Houston, who delightedly enjoyed the flattery and deliberate compliments from those around her.
"We’ll need Miss Houston’s support in the future."
"Miss Houston, you have truly succeeded in both love and career, congratulations..."
"For the next season, please remember to take us to rise to great heights." Latest content published on novelꞁire.net
Holly Houston coolly responded, "Career is fine, forget about love."
Eventually, she was determined to ditch Nathan Jacobs, that serpentine man.
The group listened to Holly Houston’s reply and exchanged knowing looks among themselves.
Alright, they were all part of the same program team before and knew that Gregory Gibbons often visited Holly Houston during that time, so the rumor of breaking off the engagement couldn’t stand.
So, it must have been Nathan Jacobs pulling some trick that made Holly Houston announce her engagement with him.
Maybe, that passionate video was released by Nathan Jacobs himself in the beginning.
In short, there were all kinds of speculations, but none of it concerned their personal interests, so no one bothered to care.
Everyone naturally skipped over this topic and continued celebrating their glory.
And at this moment, the wind of discussion in the comment section suddenly changed!
An alert judge was the first to notice, immediately frowning.
"What are the netizens talking about with a suddenly exposed online video? Why is everyone starting to accuse us of malicious editing?"
