Elizabeth’s words, come as a bolt from the blue, echo in the hall of Jade Picture. All the people stop and gradually gather around here.
Jenny is so stunned for a long while that she does not make any respond.
“You know everything?”
“So you admit it, right? Well, how dare you to admit that...”
Elizabeth raises her hand, intending to give her another slap.
Jenny is still immersed in the previous panic and surprise, and even doesn’t scream. She only hears a gasp from the people around her. Cecelia protects her and steps back two steps. She staggers and subconsciously closes her eyes.
The expected pain does not come. She thinks that it is because Cecelia has pulled her far away. When she opens her eyes, she sees a surprised scene.
Elizabeth’s slender wrist is tightly gripped by a man’s hand. The man’s deep and cold eyes glance at the crowd around him. His voice is not loud, but with inviolable authority.
“When I was away, the company was so lively. Famous female star beats up a junior star of the same company in public? Excuse me? Are you waiting to be photographed by the reporters, and let them believe that our company’s public relations resources have no place to use? Or you want to use some extreme ways to make headlines with negative news?”
Elizabeth is all of a tremble and says, “Mr. Lu...”
Jenny is stunned. She stands still for a long time and doesn’t respond.
Luke frees Elizabeth’s wrist, seemingly casually takes out a Burberry’s handkerchief from his suit pocket, and then slowly wipes his hands.
Such a simple action makes Elizabeth embarrassed.
Everyone holds breath and does not dare to say a word.
Elizabeth thinks of the gossip in company, feels strongly that she should take action and says determinedly, “Mr. Lu, you can’t be partial to Jenny. If she didn't offend Michael, I will not be replaced in the play. You are supposed to stand by my side, as I has waited for this opportunity for many years.”
“What else?”
Luke looks at her, since it seems that with her tearful look, she will be not satisfied for only saying that.
"Also, don't be deceived by Jenny’s innocent appearance. When I went to visit Michael in the hospital this morning, I saw her coming out from his room. Michael also gave her a card to let her not appear again. Isn’t that obvious? She also use a recording to threaten Michael, so I think she is intentional, just for her own sake, regardless of others of the same company.”
It would be a great damage to one’s reputation.
Jenny feels upset. She never thinks that Elizabeth, the most friendly star of the company, would bad-mouth her in front of everyone.
“Mr. Lu, you can’t be partial in front of so many people. You must make a fair decision. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to convince others in the future... ”
Elizabeth added in a hurry, afraid that Luke would have a bias towards Jenny.
But it’s not the right time.
Sky, who has been standing beside Luke, looks at her with warning.
She gets nervous, looks up at Luke’s icy stares, and then shuts her mouth immediately, afraid to speak again.
Luke looks ice-cold. After sweeping through the crowd, he says in a deep voice, “since Luke Up Group acquired Jade Picture, many people are unconvinced. They think that e Up Group has not been involved in the entertainment industry before and knows nothing about it, so that I can be bold and do anything I want. Even today, some people still say that I am unfair. Do you agree with that?”
No one dares to respond.
In front of so many people, Elizabeth makes Mr. Lu embarrassed which means that her life is going to be tough.
In Jade Picture, everyone knows the unusual relationship between Jenny and Mr. Lu, and no one would like to step on this minefield.
But now, in front of so many people, Mr. Lu certainly has to maintain his own status. Jenny is only a woman, of which Luke never lack. However, if he lose his prestige now, it will be difficult to reestablish it in the future.
Elizabeth's approach is no doubt a solution that no one can win.
