It was for acclaim.
Someone dug up an old video of Cynthia doing charity work, where the president of Alderburg University was seen praising her kindness.
Soon after, a self-identified employee of L.S. Entertainment stepped forward to thank Cynthia Lynwood. She credited Cynthia for giving kids from underprivileged backgrounds-like herself a real chance to chase their dreams in show business.
No sooner had her comment gone live than intesleuths discovered she was actually Gwen, a rookie artist who'd just debuted under L.S. Entertainment, posting from a secondary account.
Once exposed, Gwen dropped the pretense, sharing the comment from her official account and posting proof: a receipt showing a payment from L.S. Entertainment's charity fund.
The online comments exploded.
"Oh my gosh, I just looked it up-L.S. Entertainment actually has a charity foundation just for employees from less privileged backgrounds who want to pursue a career in entertainment. That's so thoughtful!" "Wait... I'm from Alderburg. Wasn't this company owned by Aaron and Serena?" "Yeah, but I checked the business records-last month, there was a change in ownership.

The contrast couldn't be starker." "Ha! You probably don't know-Serena and Cynthia aren't just former and current bosses of L.S. Entertainment. Serena is Qu

"Yeah, I used to feel sorry for Serena-sheloved Aaron so much, but his heart only had room for Cynthia. Now I think it's just karma.
Fortunately, Cynthia recovered from her illness and those two finally got their happy ending. Love really does conquer all!" Serena scrolled through the comments, her expression unreadable, only arching a brow in mild surprise.
A charity fund at L.S. Entertainment? When had that happened? Why was she the last to know?
Her thoughts drifted to Samuel Lewis, whom she hadn't spoken to in ages. After that day she put down her coffee mug, she hadn't seen Samuel again. He never messaged her, not even once.
Maybe this is how adults say goodbye-with silence and distance.
Serena set her phone aside and started scrolling through videos, letting tslip by unnoticed.
