“Wifey is so awesome! I love her!”
“She did it. She played all those songs. That’s amazing.”
“Most importantly, she played them on different instruments as requested by the haters. I want to be her fan.”
Rebecca used different instruments to play different songs, leaving her fans cheering in excitement and several livestream viewers changing from haters to neutral and then becoming her fans.
Her number of followers on Facebook skyrocketed again. The recorded footage from the livestream was posted on the internet.
The video titled ‘Rebecca: Let’s Go with Their Request’ became a hit after her martial arts video. It not only attracted more viewers to the livestream, but also caught the attention of several music lovers.
“Where are those who claimed Rebecca was acting according to the crew’s script?”
“If you’re so good at acting, why don’t you perform for us?”
“I would be impressed if all of that was pre-rehearsed.”
“Where are the haters? Come out!”
“I bet they’re feeling embarrassed and want to hide.”
Many of Rebecca’s fans and ordinary viewers mocked those who tried to frame and criticize her.
Meanwhile, the paid trolls and haters could do nothing but stay silent. What else could they do? Continuing to criticize and frame Rebecca would only result in them being attacked.
At the Collins Residence, Titus had been watching the broadcast and looked gloomy. He never expected his biological sister to be so talented in music and capable of playing such obscure and difficult songs.
His plan had failed.
Not only did he fail to frame Rebecca and the production crew, but he unintentionally boosted her popularity, causing her banjo performance to trend and impress her fans. It even helped the show prove its authenticity with no scripted elements.
Luca, who was watching the livestream, turned to Titus. “Titus, your plan failed miserably. I told you Rebecca is talented in music. Why did you pay those people to attack her with music?”
Luca was a popular and talented singer; he had a good relationship with Rebecca. While they weren’t as close as Aaron and Rebecca, they got along well.
Rebecca would practice singing with him and even cooked meals that were good for his vocal cords. However, he hoped Rebecca would understand her position in the family and stop competing with Rosie or causing trouble. That’s why he supported Reuben, Titus, and Aaron’s plan to deal with her.
Now that Luca realized that Titus’ plan had actually helped Rebecca instead of bringing her down, he felt a sense of pride in having such an amazing biological younger sister. However, he also had mixed emotions. Since Rebecca hadn’t been brought down but instead delivered such a stunning performance, didn’t that mean she had surpassed Rosie?
Titus gave him a stern look. “If you can’t speak properly, then just be quiet. You did mention that she had musical talent, but how was I supposed to know she was skilled in playing so many instruments?”
He asked, “Were you aware of that?”
Luca shook his head. “I had no idea she could play so many instruments.”
Then, he added helplessly, “She can play even more instruments than I can…”
Andrew was also taken aback by Rebecca’s performance and furrowed his brow. “Now, the question is, what about Rosie?”
At that moment, the Collins brothers were watching both live-stream channels. While Rebecca was playing various instruments, Rosie and the others performed on the town’s streets.
Rosie confidently played a song on the guitar while Aaron danced in front of her. There was also a crowd around them, attracted by the lively atmosphere. However, not many of them recognized the two.
As for Leon, he was more popular than the others, and some of the townsfolk had watched the dramas and movies he acted in.
By now, Rosie had finished playing the guitar in her live broadcast.
As someone who understood music, Luca compared the guitar pieces Rebecca and Rosie played from both live streams and then gave Titus a cold stare. He couldn’t help but quip, “Titus, I don’t think you’re trying to ruin Rebecca. You’ve clearly sabotaged Rosie. What were you thinking when you told the paid trolls to get Rebecca to play the same song as Rosie on the guitar?”
Titus fell silent for a moment, not knowing what to say. “I only know Rebecca can play the violin. I had no idea she knew how to play the guitar. I thought it would make Ros look better if Rebecca couldn’t play that song.”
He didn’t know much about music. “I thought Ros played quite well. Aaron even danced to her tune, and the atmosphere was great.”
Luca couldn’t help but roll his eyes. “Ros did play well, but it was far from Rebecca’s. Ros only managed to play the entire song, while Rebecca managed to convey the song’s emotions. Anyone who understands music can hear that.”
After a moment’s silence, Titus realized he had done something wrong. Frustrated, he rebuked, “Who knew Rebecca was so talented? I intended to help Ros.”
In his many years of being a manager, this was the first time he failed so terribly.
Andrew asked, “How are we going to save this situation?”
Titus shook his head before muttering, “I don’t know either.”
This situation had him stumped as well.
At that, Andrew commented somewhat unpleasantly, “Rebecca kept that from us so well.”
It had been more than a year since Rebecca returned to the Collins Family, but she never told them she knew how to play so many instruments. Andrew sighed again. “How sad would Ros be if she knew about this.”
Rosie had always had a delicate mind and was quite sensitive. If she found out Rebecca had outshone her, she would be devastated. Hence, Andrew suggested, “Why don’t we get those paid netizens to sabotage Rebecca from another angle?”
Rebecca seemed indifferent about everything, so she wouldn’t mind getting hated.
But Titus gave it a thought and rejected the idea. “That’s not doable for now. If we get the trolls to sabotage her from another angle, it would make it very obvious. The audiences aren’t fools. Also, Jonah has quite a status in the entertainment industry, and angering him will do us no good.”
There wasn’t a show Jonah directed that wasn’t popular. Moreover, Titus had several artists under his wing. If he were to offend Jonah, it might cause his other artists to get rejected from joining popular variety shows, which would be a huge loss for him.
With a thunderous expression, Andrew asked, “So, should we just watch as Rebecca outshines Ros? Rebecca has already taken away Ros’s identity and wants to steal her popularity. Titus, you’ve ruined everything!” After all, Rebecca wouldn’t have gotten such a good opportunity to show off her talent if Titus hadn’t intervened.
Titus glanced at him. “Are you blaming me? I tried to sabotage Rebecca for Ros, but now it’s my fault that something happened.”
If this hadn’t been for Rosie, he would be crazy to get trolls to sabotage his biological sister.
Andrew choked before muttering, “I didn’t say it was your fault. What I mean is that we need to find a chance to make things right.”
Titus rebuked coldly, “Of course, I know we must make things right. I don’t need you to remind me, but this episode is about to end, so it won’t be easy to make a turnaround. Let’s wait for the next episode. Get Ros ready to make a comeback. I believe she will definitely outshine Rebecca.”
Left with no choice, Andrew nodded. “Fine. Once this show ends, I’ll get Ros to act in the upcoming series I’ll be directing. I think that’s a good chance to hype her popularity.”
He touched his chin and suggested, “It’ll be better if we can persuade Rebecca to play the supporting role. She can be a villainous character, cunning and malicious. It will greatly contrast the innocent and kind-hearted female lead. If Rebecca plays that role and Ros plays the female protagonist, the audience will surely change their view of Ros and may even turn against Rebecca.”
After all, the audiences would always develop feelings for characters on television and bring their emotions to reality.
Titus understood Andrew’s intention and nodded in agreement. “Once this episode ends, go and look for Rebecca. Try your best to persuade her to take on the supporting role in your series.”
If they succeeded in their plan, they could change the audiences’ opinions about Rebecca and Rosie.
“But the most important thing now is to get Ros to stand out in the next episode so that she can starkly contrast Rebecca. That way, the fans Rebecca gained now can change into Ros’s fans.”
The fans gained on variety shows aren’t as solid, so there is a possibility they would switch sides at any moment. That is the point the Collins brothers tend to use.
Andrew agreed to that. “Okay. Once they return home after this episode, I’ll go look for Rebecca.”
After all, Rebecca still somewhat respected and cared for him. Before, he needed a cameo for one of his series and asked her for help, which she agreed to.
His profession is quite challenging. During the summer of last year, he had to shoot a series in the wilderness and suffered quite a bit. When Rebecca found out about it, she would make refreshments almost every day and send them to his film set for him. Whenever he didn’t have the appetite to eat, she would make medicinal meals and something appetizing to bring to him. Besides that, she also made a cooling sachet for him to wear, which was quite effective. Therefore, he was confident he could persuade her to take on the role.
