My Secret Billionaire Husband Chapter 2766 - 2774: Definitely Scheming Something

"Good grief, I nearly thought Joanna Lawrence started a live stream when I first caught a glimpse of it. What is the production team thinking, bringing in a newcomer who bears such a striking resemblance to Joanna Lawrence for this episode? And why on earth did they oust Tia? I'm honestly a fan of hers."

"Tia just dropped a message on her blog claiming the Program Group violated their agreement and blindsided her with a contract termination. Are they really tossing aside all professional ethics just to promote this new girl? What kind of status does this woman have that the producers aren't even worried about the resulting backlash?"

"I took a look into it; this Omega Huntley is a fresh face recently signed by the Parker Group's entertainment wing. Seems like they're dumping a massive amount of support behind her."

"An artist under the Parker Group who happens to be a dead ringer for Joanna Lawrence? It brings back a flood of those old rumors involving Mr. Parker and Joanna. Is she some sort of body double manufactured by Mr. Parker? Can't possess the real woman, so he's settled for a substitute to dote on?"

In less than ten minutes.

Annie Lawrence surged onto the trending topics with her very first appearance.

Trending headline: #Newcomer Omega Huntley is a lookalike of Joanna Lawrence#

#Little Joanna and Omega Huntley#

After escorting Joanna to Cascade City, Ashton Heath didn't linger. Once he ensured everything was in order, he headed back to Closia.

The production cameras were stationed inside the suite, so there was no longer a need for the filming crew to shadow Joanna.

Following Ashton's departure, Joanna remained in the room alone.

Joanna sent a text to Porter Rushbrook on Twitter, and he responded that he would arrive in thirty minutes. Consequently, she waited for him in the room so they could head to the check-in together.

Her phone, resting on the mattress, chimed.

Joanna walked over and noticed a call from Linda. She picked up and spoke softly, "Linda?"

"My god, have you checked the trending topics, Joanna?" Linda’s voice on the other end was uncharacteristically agitated, as if she had stumbled upon something shocking.

Joanna queried, "Not yet, I only just retrieved my phone after a busy spell. Did something happen?"

Even though she hadn't looked at the hot search list, Joanna knew instinctively that it concerned her.

After all, Linda wouldn't have reached out if it weren't related.

"I have no clue what this production team is playing at, but they suddenly swapped out Tia. And get this, they replaced her with a newcomer who is nearly identical to you! The entire internet is buzzing about it right now."

Joanna felt stunned.

Linda rattled on, "And this newcomer is signed to the Parker Group's entertainment company. Do you know who’s calling the shots there now? It's that snake, David Benington!"

"What is your take, Joanna? What kind of scheme is David Benington concocting by placing a girl who looks exactly like you on the same show? I have a gut feeling he’s up to no good and is definitely cooking up some trouble."

"The Benington Group was swallowed up by President Ashton, stripping him of his title as a wealthy Young Master and leaving him a social pariah. He has to be harboring deep resentment. If not, he wouldn't have signed on to work at Frank Parker’s firm after the falling out between Ashton and Frank."

Joanna listened with a furrowed brow, "Tia got replaced? When did this happen?"

"Just moments ago," Linda fumed. "Tia’s fanbase is currently swarming the Program Group’s official social page demanding answers. To let an amateur artist grace such a high-profile show—is David Benington planning to dump all his resources into Omega Huntley just like he did with Annie Lawrence back in the day?"
