Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 384

The cast had been thinking of saying something to lighten the mood. But as soon as Shannon spoke, they fell silent.

"For some reason, when Shannon says it, I kind of believe it. Don't ask why, she just has a vibe."

"Looks like Zimmer's feeling the heat."

"He was still a minor at the age of 17. What could he have done?"

"I know! When James was 17, he starred in 'Youthful Days.' This was his first lead role that made him famous."

"I shipped him and Ralph Schmidt so hard back then!"

"Shipping every couple you come across can get you in trouble."

"No, that's not true. It keeps me balanced."

"Is Shannon implying that the coupling between James and Ralph was real?"

"If that's the case, I'm all for it!"

Such topics were considered somewhat sensitive in their relatively conservative country. However, many male stars leveraged it to gain fans in private. Usually, it was all for show. Only a few were genuinely interested in each other, and even fewer dared to make their relationship public.

When James heard Shannon mention 17, he turned a little pale. Although he tried to stay calm, he still lacked experience and couldn't manage his expression well. Everyone could see that his gaze had become aversive, and he had a guilty look on his face.

"What could I have done? I don't know what I did to upset you, Shannon, but I genuinely do admire you," James said, trying to counter what Shannon said.

But he soon realized that the more he tried to clarify, the more suspicious he sounded. So, he said helplessly, "Forget it. It's my fault. You've worked hard this morning. Go rest."

He turned and left with a forlorn but forgiving expression, leaving the cast and crew members bewildered.

"How would you react if you were the one being bullied? Was Jamie wrong to defend himself?"

James' and Shannon's fans argued vehemently in the chat. Amidst the chaos, someone finally dug up information about an incident from when James was 17.

"Guys, I found news from 2017 about James. A young actor who played his younger brother pushed him, causing him to sustain an injury. Is this what Shannon was referring to?"

"I remember that! James' fans scolded that young actor viciously, and he had to apologize."

"Oh yeah! The younger actor had a minor role but was so cute and shy. I liked him a lot. Unfortunately, he quit acting after the incident due to fan backlash."

"Yes, I remember that very adorable 14-year-old boy too. One of his drama stills went viral."

"What's there to criticize about this? A young boy had acted impulsively and pushed another person. He apologized afterward, didn't he?"
