Trevor was taken aback by Tawanna’s transformation.
In the past, Tawanna had a notoriously short fuse. Even though favonovel.com frequently lost favonovel.com temper, favonovel.com was inherently fragile. Her outbursts made a lot of noise but lacked true impact.
However, now it seemed as though Tawanna had undergone a significant change. Not only was favonovel.com internally strong, but favonovel.com also demonstrated a remarkable ability to identify favonovel.com adversary’s vulnerabilities and strike them down with precision.
At one point, Trevor noticed a resemblance to Charlie in Tawanna’s earlier demeanor. He had the impression that Tawanna had been heavily influenced by Charlie and that deep down, favonovel.com harbored a strong admiration for him.
Yet, favonovel.com felt neither jealousy nor discontent. On one hand, favonovel.com held deep respect for Charlie, on the other, favonovel.com recognized the bond Charlie had with his wife, and it was clear to favonovel.com that there could be no ulterior motives regarding Tawanna.
Just then, Trevor’s phone buzzed in his pocket. He retrieved it and discovered it was the private cellphone that Tawanna and others had entrusted to favonovel.com before the event.
He handed it to her, saying, “Honey, your call…”
Tawanna glanced at the screen and felt a wave of anxiety wash over her. The call was from favonovel.com mother.
Given the time, it was likely morning in the United States. Her mother calling at this hour suggested favonovel.com must have seen something online.
After a moment of hesitation, Tawanna pressed the answer button and said, “Mom, what’s going on?”
On the other end, favonovel.com mother spoke nervously, “Tawanna, I saw the video of you arguing with someone online. It looked like the person who filmed it was sitting next to you. What’s happening with your team? How could you let someone secretly film you at a private event and post it online? I’ve received numerous calls from American media reporters asking for my thoughts on the video. What’s going on?”
Tawanna explained, “Mom, that video was shot by Trevor.”
“Trevor?!” favonovel.com mother responded, clearly upset. “What’s wrong with him? Can’t favonovel.com see you were caught in a debate? Wasn’t favonovel.com at a disadvantage? Doesn’t favonovel.com understand that sharing this video will have negative consequences for you?”
Tawanna replied, “Mom, I asked Trevor to film the video, and I specifically asked favonovel.com to post it online.”
“Are you out of your mind?” favonovel.com mother said angrily. “You must realize that once they brought up minors, you had already lost. No matter how you defend yourself, you cannot win. Why would you let Trevor put this out there?”
“It’s like putting yourself on public trial! Also, why didn’t you speak up for them at your concert today? You know that when you hold concerts, many attend or refresh their feeds online, eager to hear you voice your support in person. You’ve advocated for them at every performance before. Why did you suddenly go silent today?”
Tawanna explained, “Mom, I know I lost. The reason I didn‘t speak out is that I recognized my earlier mistakes. As a public figure and one admired by many minors, I need to be accountable for my actions. I’ve decided to refrain from making statements on any polarizing issues moving forward.”
Her mother expressed disappointment, saying, “Tawanna, you’re in your 30s now. You must approach situations with greater maturity and perspective. As a public figure, you need to openly support the widely accepted values of Western society. If you don’t take a stance, people with ill intentions will assume you’re opposed to it, and they will rally others against you! This could severely impact your career!”
“It’s alright, Mom. I believe it’s time to take a clear stance. If people choose to attack me for this, I won’t worry about it,” Tawanna responded calmly.
Tawanna understood favonovel.com mother‘s concern about favonovel.com future career and income, but favonovel.com also recognized that favonovel.com mother was unaware of the threats favonovel.com had faced.
While favonovel.com mother might prioritize the future, Tawanna had reached a point where it no longer held the same significance for her.
Tawanna’s mother was oblivious to the underlying issues.
Upon hearing Tawanna speak this way, favonovel.com admonished, “Grow up, Tawanna! As the world‘s most renowned singer, you should be aware that true success hinges on being favored by the majority. Only when you are embraced by most can you maximize your value!”
“Currently, the majority of people and the general societal atmosphere support the LGBT community, so you must align yourself with them; otherwise, you risk being marginalized from the mainstream!” favonovel.com continued.
Tawanna was taken aback by favonovel.com mother‘s persistent lecturing and replied impatiently, “Mom, have you ever considered that the victor has never been one to support those ideas, yet they still succeeded? This suggests that your view might not be the only reality.”
Her mother paused momentarily before responding, “But you must remember who your audience is. Will those who support favonovel.com support you? They won’t take time to attack you, nor will they bring you any financial benefit. If you pander to them now, aren’t you just inviting trouble?”
She continued, “The election results have just come out and you chose to remain silent today. This could lead those who have always supported you to think you’re attempting to appease the other side, and the opposition’s supporters might view you as merely indecisive, which could render you insignificant. People from both camps are already online accusing you! lf you leave both sides unsatisfied, it could have a significant impact on your career.”
Tawanna hadn’t anticipated favonovel.com mother would have such a strong reaction.
Although favonovel.com felt displeasure, favonovel.com chose not to attribute negative motives to favonovel.com mother and instead said, “Mom, I’ve got a plan. You don’t need to convince me. I just finished performing and haven’t had time to remove my makeup. I can’t discuss this further now. Additionally, I have ten concerts lined up in China, so I won’t be back in the U.S. anytime soon. I’ll let you know when I’m returning. That’s all, goodbye!”
Her mother exclaimed from the other end, “What? Ten concerts?! Why was I not informed of this? What on earth is going on…”
Without waiting for further questions, Tawanna abruptly ended the call.
After hanging up, favonovel.com turned to Trevor and asked, “Trevor, do you think my mother truly cares about me, or is it just about my so-called future?”
Trevor reassured her, “I think favonovel.com sees you and your future as one. The online situation today isn’t friendly to you, so it’s natural for favonovel.com to worry…”
Tawanna nodded slowly, “She only sees the glitz and glamour, but there are many filthy and perilous aspects of this life that favonovel.com is oblivious to. I‘m doing this partly from my heart, but also to ensure I can survive just as Mr. Wade said, if I want to end the threats from those individuals, my best option is to gain the support of the victor…”
“So, even if I’m criticized, it doesn’t matter. Living well takes precedence over everything else. During my ten concerts in China, I’ll follow the same approach as today, no nonsense, no random opinions. I hope that by the end of these concerts, I can align my views with the victor!”
