You Had Me, You Lost Me, You'll Never Find Me novel Chapter 68

Someone even managed to enhance the blurry, wide-angle action shots to reveal Sylvia's face.

The evidence was absolutely undeniable.

The internet had a field day.

"Did she seriously steal someone else's footage? Unbelievable. I had no idea she was this kind of person."

"And I was just praising her stunt work. This is such a turn-off."

"She's a literal thief. It's hilarious that someone like this actually got nominated for The Golden Horizon Awards."

...

But before the backlash could fully materialize, the Whispers of the Crown production team released a statement claiming it was a "staff error." They blamed an outsourced editing team, stated that the interns involved had been fired, and promised to be more careful in the future.

The public wasn't buying it.

"Every time there's a scandal, it's always the 'interns' or the 'outsourced team.' Can you come up with something new?"

"I knew the editor had to be drunk! The camera was aggressively jumping between extreme close-ups and ultra-wide shots. So the whole thing was a stunt double!"

"I'm dropping this show. I could literally do her job. Isn't she just standing there looking pretty and reading lines?"

However, these comments didn't survive an hour before they were systematically wiped clean.

The trending hashtags were dismantled at lightning speed.

Following that, any related posts or comments were instantly deleted or shadowbanned the moment they went live, completely burying the traffic.

In their place came an aggressive flood of bot posts and paid PR trolls. The internet was suddenly swamped with glowing praise for the show, specifically hyping up Reina's incredible acting and relentless work ethic.

At the same time, carefully curated behind-the-scenes clips and paparazzi leaks flooded the timeline, all highlighting how "exhausting" filming was for Reina.

Sylvia took a deep breath. "How much is this going to cost?"

Penelope's expression hardened. "You need to think this through. The company is not going to reimburse you for this. Once we declare war, the daily PR fees will burn through cash like water. You're fighting this alone, but Reina has all of Reign Media behind her—and the Winslet family's entire fortune."

Sylvia's face was completely serene. Of course she knew Reina had the Winslet family, massive wealth, and immense power. She even had a perfect brother who built Reign Media solely to pave her way through the entertainment industry.

That was why she could snag any role she pointed at.

That was why she faced zero consequences for stealing Sylvia's work.

That was why these people could sit on their thrones and rewrite reality.

Sylvia had nothing. Nothing but her sheer willpower, and the truth.

"Why should I back down? I refuse to back down."
