Chapter 121
The police announcement came abruptly.
Property damage cases usually aren't serious enough to draw much attention.
But this was different.
Who was Christopher Lowell? A top-tier celebrity with millions of devoted fans.
The moment news of his detention broke, sharp-eyed netizens screenshotted and reposted it.
The hashtag #TopCelebChristopherDetainedForVandalism instantly exploded across the internet.
The top three trending spots were all dominated by related topics.
Fan groups erupted into chaos.
Sure, Chris has a temper, but there must be a reason!
Vandalism? That's worth detention?
He could pay ten times the damages without blinking!
This has to be the first time a top celeb got detained over something so trivial!
Fans flooded discussions with frantic comments.
Details? What exactly did he damage?
Who dared provoke our Chris?
If I find out who, I'll curse their ancestors into oblivion!
There were plenty of eyewitnesses at Pearl Group that day.
Soon, insiders began leaking information.
I saw Christopher smash things at Pearl Group with my own eyes.
It was because of Sophia Laurent.
Just some phones, cups, and brochures—how much could those even cost?
...
As more photos from the scene circulated, the truth became clearer.
Fans who learned the full story went ballistic.
Is Sophia insane? Calling the cops on her own brother?
No wonder the Lowells hate her—she's twisted!
I heard Nathan Lowell lost all his endorsements because of her!
Why doesn't that viper just die?
Pearl Group, right? Let's storm their accounts, girls!
The fan army mobilized swiftly.
Pearl Group's official account was the first target.
Then came Sophia's Composer T profile.
Even Lucas Sheridan and the "Empress" official page weren't spared.
A tidal wave of vitriol crashed down.
Fans of Emily Lowell, Richard Lowell, and Nathan Lowell joined the fray.
Comment sections turned into cesspools of profanity.
A handful of rational netizens tried to interject.
If the police detained him, doesn't that mean Christopher actually broke the law?
What's wrong with someone exercising their legal rights?
But their voices were quickly drowned out.
Even worse, major gossip accounts suddenly launched a coordinated attack.
All targeting Sophia Laurent.
