The Hollywood Mean Girl Tried to Cancel Me on Live TV. She Didn't Know I'm a Billionaire Heiress. Chapter 2

The livestream chat was already exploding.

[Omg, Chloe is so arrogant. Harper was just checking on her!]

[Harper is way more famous than her anyway. Why does Chloe always look so bitter?]

[Our girl Harper is too nice. If it were me, I would’ve slapped her.]

[No wonder she’s a D-list flop. People like Chloe are the poison of Hollywood.]

Before the game began, the crew mirrored our phones onto the giant studio screen.

Eager to watch me make a fool of myself, Harper volunteered to go first. I didn't object.

The host beamed. "Alright, let's get started!"

Looking incredibly smug, Harper pulled out her phone and opened her iMessage.

Right at the top of her pinned chats was the name: Liam Sterling.

Oh, wow. That was my older brother.

The studio audience instantly lost their minds.

[Wait, Liam Sterling?! Like, THE Liam Sterling?]

[For anyone who lives under a rock: Liam Sterling is Hollywood's most eligible bachelor. Insanely talented, literally won back-to-back Oscars for Best Actor.]

[He is drop-dead gorgeous and so sweet in person! I met him at LAX once, totally breathtaking.]

[How does Harper know Liam?! And he's pinned in her texts? They must be super close!]

[Are they secretly dating?!]

[Twitter sleuths, get to work NOW!!]

The studio atmosphere reached a fever pitch.

Seeing that her stunt had worked perfectly, Harper feigned a shy, blushing smile. "Is it okay if I call Liam?"

Liam?

My mouth twitched as the studio audience screamed their approval.

Having an A-lister of that magnitude featured on the show was a producer's wet dream. The host eagerly urged her on.

Amidst the deafening cheers, Harper dialed Liam's number.

It rang for a long time. Harper's face tightened with nervous anticipation.

Ring... Ring... Ring...

And then, the call disconnected. Sent straight to voicemail.

The studio went dead silent.

Harper's face darkened instantly, but she quickly forced a stiff smile. "Liam is probably on set right now. He must have missed it."

I smiled, looking completely innocent. "Really? Because that sounded exactly like you got sent to voicemail."

"You..."

"Why would Liam ever decline my call?" she snapped defensively.

I just chuckled, threw my hands up, and gave a helpless shrug.

[Chloe is such a bitch. She literally cannot stand seeing other women win.]

[Exactly. Liam is a busy man, missing a call is completely normal.]

[Ignore her, she’s just jealous that Harper even has Liam’s number.]

[I mean... it did ring three times and then abruptly stop. That literally means he declined it. Are you guys blind?]

Occasionally, a viewer would drop some truth in the chat. But they were immediately drowned out by the flood of toxic stans.

Everyone knew Harper’s fanbase was rabid and allergic to criticism.
