The Villain Mom Awakens — Going Viral by Parenting on a Reality Show-Chapter 362 - 361: Christina Lynch and Renee Jennings’s Film and TV Works Taken Down

Chapter 362: Chapter 361: Christina Lynch and Renee Jennings’s Film and TV Works Taken Down

I’ve been a fan of Renee Jennings for over two years, ever since she was just a small-time influencer making short videos. I’ve supported her through so much because I thought she was a genuinely good person, but now that all the evidence is out, I can’t lie to myself anymore. I’m completely disappointed in her, disgusted even. I’m officially an anti-fan now.

If this scandal hadn’t been exposed, I can’t imagine how much longer we would have been deceived. I just thought Nathaniel Lynch and Renee Jennings were faking their affection for clout, but I never imagined they’d do something so vile. They’re complete and utter scumbags!

They hooked up three years ago? They’re so shameless. Judging by what a player Nathaniel Lynch is, the rumors from a while back must be true. He cheated on more than one person. What a piece of trash!

I almost fell for it. You two, a model couple? Give me a break! Do you really think wearing human skin makes you human?

Oh my god, I saw that it also mentioned Mona was being abused. My poor Mona! Victor Vance, please get custody of Mona back!

Nathaniel Lynch, get out of the entertainment industry! And Renee Jennings, you get out too!!

It’s so good that the truth is finally out. Victor Vance has finally been cleared of all the baseless accusations. It feels like Nina helped out a lot, too. It just goes to show that true friends are kindred spirits. Wishing both you beautiful ladies a long and lasting friendship.

Ever since the incident, Naomi Kenway had watched as Nathaniel Lynch and Renee Jennings’s names remained on the trending topic lists for over a week.

Nathaniel Lynch was backed by the Lynch Family, who would usually help him quickly squash any damaging scandals. This time, however, a long time had passed with no reaction from the family. Naomi Kenway guessed it was probably because Nathaniel had a falling out with them.

Over the week, many more trending topics related to Renee Jennings and Nathaniel Lynch had emerged. Like a butterfly effect, one scandal after another was exposed, and the couple’s reputation grew more and more toxic. Naomi heard that Renee Jennings had rotten eggs thrown at her when she went out, and Nathaniel Lynch was naturally no better off. He hadn’t left his house in days, as if he were in hiding.

It wasn’t just their personal lives; the scandal also had a massive impact on the couple’s careers. On the day the story broke, brands they had contracts with all announced they were terminating their partnerships. Renee Jennings and Nathaniel Lynch were blacklisted as disgraced celebrities, and all their works were pulled from circulation.

That morning, Naomi Kenway had heard from Laura Grant that the movie starring Renee Jennings had no hope of being released. Renee’s previous boast about competing with *Youth* at the box office during the same release window had now become a complete joke.

Naomi Kenway smiled faintly at the news. ’A fall from the heavens into the mud. Their former air of superiority has turned into public condemnation. I can just imagine how devastated Renee Jennings must be. But this is all what she deserves. She did so many terrible things; she has to pay the price.’

Ever since the scandal broke, Nathaniel Lynch had spent his days in his villa, drowning his sorrows in alcohol. He thought about it for a long time but still couldn’t figure out how Victor Vance had discovered the truth. He’d been so sure his plan was foolproof. ’How could this have happened...’

He threw back a mouthful of hard liquor, the burn bringing tears to his eyes. The tears flowed faster, running down his gaunt, sunken cheeks and into his unkempt stubble.

Amid his tears, he suddenly burst out laughing, then violently smashed the bottle in his hand. He looked completely unhinged, and the servants standing by all kept their distance from him.

Nathaniel wailed, snot and tears streaming down his face. "All my work has been pulled! I worked my ass off for over twenty years, and it’s all gone in the blink of an eye! I’m not a Best Actor anymore! No one will even acknowledge me!" His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the wall in front of him, cursing viciously. "Are you satisfied now, you bitch? Bitch! You’re all bitches!!"

Hiding behind the door, Sophia Zobel couldn’t bear to watch any longer. She tentatively took a few steps closer and, seeing that Nathaniel wasn’t lashing out, carefully approached him. Her eyes were also filled with tears as she cupped his face, her voice aching with pity.

"Son, what’s happened has happened. We can’t change it. The most important thing is to live your future well. So what if you can’t be some stupid actor? We’ll just stop, okay? The Lynch Family has plenty of money. Come back, and I’ll have your brother arrange a position for you!"

"What do you know?!" Nathaniel raised his hand, then let it drop in anguish. "I don’t want to be some damn vice president at the company, kowtowing to everyone else!"

"Then what do you want to be?"

"Chairman."

"Are you insane?!" Sophia Zobel cried out, her face a mask of disbelief. "The chairman position is your brother’s."

Nathaniel burst out laughing, tears streaming from his eyes. "See? See? You always say you treat us both equally..." He suddenly lunged forward and gripped Sophia Zobel’s shoulders tightly, hissing through gritted teeth, "Then why does the company belong to my brother? Why do I have to work under him?! You’re still playing favorites!!"

"Playing favorites..." Sophia Zobel muttered, then immediately retorted, "You’re brothers. What difference does it make if it’s in your hands or his? Besides, isn’t it natural for your older brother to inherit the company since he’s the eldest?"

"Natural my ass!" Nathaniel jabbed a finger at his own chest. "He doesn’t see me as a brother at all! He’s just a coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong! He won’t clean up this scandal for me because he’s afraid of the Shaw Family. He’s nothing but a selfish bastard!"

Sophia Zobel couldn’t stop herself. SMACK. She slapped him across the face, her expression one of disbelief. "How could you say that about your brother? He was the one who carried you out of the house when it was on fire!"

Something seemed to snap in Nathaniel. He clutched his face and broke down sobbing, shaking his head. "I have nothing left, Mom. I have nothing left..."

Sophia Zobel’s anger faded, replaced by a deep ache in her heart. ’I know why he’s in so much pain, but I feel so helpless. This scandal has gotten so big that even our Lynch Family, with all its power, would have a hard time smoothing it over. Perhaps my eldest son knew that and decided it wasn’t worth the effort to help his younger brother.’

"You still have the Lynch Family. You still have me..."

"No, I have nothing left..." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Years ago, dissatisfied with his life as a subordinate at the family company, he had broken into the entertainment industry. He had a rare gift for acting and quickly made a name for himself. By twenty-three, he was famous everywhere, a household name, a Best Actor. He had found in this other profession the sense of accomplishment that came with public adoration.

The affair had started by chance. Before that, he had considered himself a proper gentleman. But then he felt the adoration and worship in the eyes of a charming, beautiful woman, and an indescribable sense of conquest and achievement bloomed in his heart. From that moment on, his self-control was like a runaway horse, impossible to rein in.

He had been immersed in those honey-sweet days, until one day, the honey pot shattered, and the broken shards sliced his hands, leaving them covered in blood.

Renee Jennings came down the stairs, dragging a suitcase behind her. Her face was haggard.
