His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 397

Roger frowned and considered what was being asked of him. "It's impossible, " he finally said.

"Yes, I'm an actor, but I'm not as popular as she is. I don't see how Rachel will benefit by being linked to me, " Roger pointed out.

Autumn nodded. "Yes, you may not be as popular, but…"

Her eyes bore into him as she spoke. "After several months, it's very likely you'll be famous by the time the two TV shows where you play roles in are shown. And Rachel, who has nearly nothing, will think you are her last hope to recover what she lost."

Confused, Roger raised his hands to show that he was still clueless.

"So, what should I do now?" he asked.

Autumn was wondering if he finally understood her deviousness.

She smirked as he tried to absorb what she was thinking. Autumn made it a point never to hurt others unless they hurt her first. Rachel had already caused too much trouble and it was time to do something so the woman could not hurt her again.

Then she told Roger, "Of course you can do something. However…"

Autumn paused for effect. "You have to do whatever it takes, no matter what the cost."

Her words may have been vague but the message was clear and Roger understood. Autumn stood up to leave and said, "I've said enough. I leave it up to you, including whether you will or will not do it."

She gave him a daring look, and the latter formulated a plan in his head.

Roger suddenly remembered the photographs he was in possession of. Autumn was right. Once he became famous because of the TV shows, Rachel's recourse would be to blackmail him, and that would definitely destroy his career and maybe his life. If he wanted to prevent the woman from harassing him, he had to act first.

He decided to call a reporter from Entertainment Weekly. Roger went straight to the point.

"I have some photos that you might be interested in, " he offered.

The following day, photos of Rachel and Roger were splashed on every tabloid, magazine and online. In it was Rachel, in all her naked glory, a complete contrast to the virtuous image she had projected for many years.

Publishing the photos achieved two things: it destroyed Rachel as was intended, and it made people curious about the handsome guy she was with.

Someone eventually recognized Roger as an actor playing supporting roles in two TV shows they were filming. So the shows became a hot topic for the public, thanks to the unsolicited publicity.

The director was only too happy for it. The photos may have been scandalous for Roger, but people started recognizing the actor and became interested in his shows. Besides, it was a known fact that Roger was close to the Lu family, so no one dared to cause him any trouble.

As expected, Roger's popularity grew as a result of the scandalous photos.

Although many of the online comments were somewhat cruel, it still made people more aware of him. As an actor, the greatest tragedy was for no one to be talking about you.

No one was happier than Roger's assistant. "You've become a real celebrity now! And everyone is talking about you, " he told his boss.

He handed Roger coffee while excitedly sharing the news about people's reactions to the scandalous item.
