The trending square was abuzz with mentions of Sarah's name.

They all attributed her rise to fame to her promiscuous endeavors utilizing Ariana's resources. Detractors claimed that Sarah had ridden on the coattails of Ariana's escapades, suggesting guilt by association.

The situation was far from positive, with a flurry of criticism engulfing them.

To exacerbate matters, the previous scandal involving Tyler's diva-Like behavior resurfaced.

Now, Tyler had a smaller fan base compared to Sarah, and his online comments section became a breeding ground for accusations of diva behavior and perfunctory fan interactions due to filming fatigue.

Adding fuel to the fire, the previously suppressed shippers took advantage of the situation, viciously slandering Tyler while raising Cole to a pedestal.

It seemed that anyone even remotely associated with Ariana became a target of public scrutiny.

After taking a long while to calm down, Ariana composed apology messages to her cherished artists, extending her heartfelt guilt.

She suddenly remembered that the wrap-up special and promotional materials for Tyler's movie were supposed to be released today, but the storm had swept away their chance to do so.

The winds of public opinion had turned against them, and the prudent decision was to withhold any releases.

And Sarah had to delay the release of the new album as well.

Sarah immediately called Ariana once she received her message.

“Why bother apologizing, Ariana? It's clear as day that they've orchestrated this whole ordeal."

Her voice sounded hurried, as though she were in a haste.

"No need to let it weigh on your conscience. If anyone should be apologizing, it's Brielle. Don't let anger consume you. Take care of yourself during your pregnancy. Brielle can only relish in her temporary victory. Just wait and see how I deal with that little wretch!"

Taking a moment to catch her breath, Sarah continued, "Also, there might be a lot of company gossip today. Tyler and I are out doing promotions, so we can't return. I worry about you going to the company alone. Why don't you take a day off, stay home, and tend to yourself?"

“Why should I hide away? I have a clear conscience in this matter,”

Ariana defiantly retorted.

“If I show up, they won't dare utter a word to my face. If I don't, who knows what malicious rumors they'll concoct behind my back, turning the world topsy-turvy?!"

Recognizing the futility of persuading Ariana otherwise, Sarah sighed and offered solace before ending the call.
