Porter Rushbrook bluntly rejects Omega Huntley’s attempt to join their lunch group, ignoring the presence of filming cameras and leaving the aspiring actress visibly humiliated. Joanna Lawrence, initially uncomfortable with Omega’s efforts to mimic her, breathes a sigh of relief as Porter prioritizes their private plans. Despite the public snub, Omega remains determined to infiltrate their circle and advance her own career. Fueled by a burning ambition to replace Joanna and claim everything she owns, Omega must now decide her next move to salvage her image.

Kelvin Norman gave her a quick nod, then turned and climbed into the taxi alongside Joanna Lawrence and the group.

Right then, the live stream paused temporarily.

The broadcaster addressed the audience, “Hello, everyone, that's all for this morning's stream. Our guests require some rest, and I'll restart the room after they've recovered. Grab lunch, catch a nap, and return for the live show after 3 PM.”

With that, the staffer waved goodbye to the viewers and shut down the live room.

Even though the stream had concluded, numerous viewers remained in the room.

Fresh comments continuously flooded the chat section.

“Hahaha, did you catch Aria’s expression when Porter Rushbrook turned her down? It looked rotten. She seems on the verge of erupting in rage.”

“Porter might've seemed a tad rude, but why does it feel so satisfying? This Aria is such a fake innocent type; she's already milked tons of fame from Joanna Lawrence and still craves more? Who does she believe she is, trying to squeeze into Joanna Lawrence and Porter Rushbrook’s exclusive group?”

“My brother isn't rude at all. He's typically super gentlemanly. Didn't you notice he's getting payback for Joanna Lawrence? He must despise Aria's behavior, so he shut her down without mercy. My brother did nothing wrong. I'd avenge my friend the same way.”

“Yeah, it's obvious to anyone watching that he's standing up for his friend. He shares a solid bond with Joanna Lawrence.”

“As experienced seniors, is it fair to gang up on a newbie like this? Am I alone in pitying Aria a bit? Folks claim she chased Joanna Lawrence’s buzz on purpose, but perhaps it was accidental. Is it solely because she resembles Joanna Lawrence that she's accused of riding her coattails? Does that mean every lookalike across the country is after her fame too?”

“Those pitying Aria, you're one of a kind, you're electric, you're light, you're the lone fool. Experts have confirmed Aria's a surgically altered imitator who even mimicked Joanna Lawrence’s looks. She underwent surgery to resemble her and joined the same program. Utterly repulsive.”

“Pitiful like hell. Tia’s the real victim here. Women snatching resources via connections are utterly revolting.”

Thank goodness Annie Lawrence wasn't peeking at the live room just now.

Had she witnessed all that viewer backlash, she'd likely fume even harder and nearly spit blood.

Once Joanna Lawrence and her crew entered the vehicle, their taxi sped off swiftly.

With their departure, only Annie Lawrence and a handful of staff stood on the sidewalk.

Noticing Annie’s faintly ashen complexion, a staffer took pity and offered warmly, “Ms. Aria, care to eat lunch with us? We're heading to lunch soon ourselves.”

In truth, the staffer merely aimed to spare Annie further humiliation by providing an easy exit.

Yet Annie spurned the gesture and refused outright: “No thanks, I've got arrangements with my friends already.”

Staff: ???

Plans with friends already?

Didn't she just claim ignorance about dining spots due to being new here?

The staff who'd earlier sympathized with her public snub by Porter Rushbrook now sensed Aria truly embodied the fake innocent aura.
