For now, the most important thing to do was to deal with the lawyer’s letter from Emilia.
No one would hope for the situation to spiral out of control. Besides, it wouldn’t be advantageous for one to waste money on that matter.
As the boss, Zachary prioritized his interests by saying, “I will make my decision before the meeting tomorrow morning.”
Gina and Christina walked out of the office. They had thought that the small matter could be solved. internally. Never had they expected the drama to spread like wildfire on the internet
Emilia’s fans were angrily bashing Coco for her underhanded trick to snatch Emilia’s endorsement deal.
That was why Emilia’s promotional photos could not be published. Such a dirty trick of Coco to get her hands on Emilia’s endorsement deal was something that the public could not tolerate.
Emilia had also posted a video of her shooting for Radiant Corporation on her social media account. Seeing that, everyone naturally picked her side and believed in her.
What surprised Christina the most was seeing the netizens swarming the comments section of Coco’s social media accounts with insults.
I feel so sorry for her. She was kind enough to lend me a hand. I didn’t expect to drag her into this mess.
She gave Coco a call and was relieved to know that her jobs weren’t affected by the online feud.
“The nasty comments are mostly from ghostwriters. I have more fans than her ghostwriters, anyway. Don’t worry
about me,” comforted Coco.
Coco officially debuted long ago. She had never had any scandals over the years, and she believed that the small drama wouldn’t have much impact on her.
Coco had the plan to dispel the rumors in due course.
Now that I’m in the limelight, it’s best for me to remain silent now. Or else, I might be giving Emilia a chance to chase
the clout.
Worried that the situation would spiral out of control, Christina said, “I will clarify the matter for you.”
With that, she ended the call.
Coco wanted the stop her. After all, Christina was an outsider. There was nothing much she could do.
Before Coco could return the call, the filming was about to start, so she went off to get busy.
Christina feturned to the office. She turned on her computer and saw the drama being stirred up on the internet,
It was at that moment she recalled Emilia leaving in a hurry after answering a call that day.
If I’m not mistaken, she seemed as if she was going to attend a party that day. Everyone’s accusing Coco of her bad reputation. Perhaps I should prove to the public that Emilia is the one who has a bad image.
After work, Christina called for a taxi and waited outside the Steele residence.
The sky was turning dark. Emilia went out wearing a sexy black dress while carrying a branded bag.
Christina ordered the driver to tail Emilia’s car. Shortly after, they arrived at a bar in a remote area.
I have to capture her photos inside to show the world her bad side so that I can help Coco clarify the scandal.
Upon seeing Emilia enter the bar. Christina alighted from the taxi and followed her.
However, she didn’t expect to be blocked by the security guard outside. “Minors are not allowed to enter.”
Huh? Minors? I’ve been married for years!
That rendered Christina speechless.
Feeling exasperated, Christina fished out her ID card to prove her identity.
The security guard took the ID card and scanned it over a machine for verification. His expression suddenly turned solemn as he uttered, “You still can’t enter. We only allow our members to go in.”
How private of the bar to only serve its guests? No wonder Emilia doesn’t have to worry about getting photographed when she’s outside.
Christina was determined to exercise her plan that day. “How much is it to become a member? Can I not just spend money inside?”
The security guard shot her an aloof glance and replied, “No, you can’t do that. The only way to get in is through a member referral.”
After saying that, he shooed Christina out.
A vortex of anger immediately swirled inside Christina. What a lame bar! Did he just chase away a potential customer? This bar won’t survive long!
The manager furrowed his brows. Why are the newbies so dumb? They just can’t recognize the way here.
After circling the entire place, Christina was astounded by the surrounding. I get it now why they only allow members here. This place is specially reserved for those famous people and celebrities. It’s scary how they party so wildly here.
Unable to find her target, Christina couldn’t help but feel dejected. Where is Emilia? If I can’t find her, it will be a huge loss for me! I don’t want to be a free laborer here!
She pul down the wine bottle. As she glanced up, she finally spotted Emilia. At that moment, Emilia was sitting on top of a middle–aged man. They were chatting and laughing.
The atmosphere in the room was noisy beyond words. Christina tried to eavesdrop on their conversation but to no avail. Nonetheless, the suggestiveness in their interaction inexorably sparked speculation.
No wonder I couldn’t find her. She’s here on the second floor all this while.
She pushed the cart to the corner, then took out her phone to snap a photo of Emilia.
Just when Christina was about to leave with the evidence, someone approached her and blocked her way.
“Are you dumb? Why didn’t you open the wine bottle for us?” The man spoke in a loud voice and reeked. of alcohol.
To avoid complications, Christina said, “Okay, I’ll do it now.”
She turned around to the bar table and poured the wine as told. The next moment, the man raised a glass of wine and grabbed her neck.
“Come and have a drink with me!”
Everything happened so suddenly that panic swamped Christina. Just when her mission was almost completed, she got interrupted by an alcoholic.
“I don’t drink. Let go of me.”
The man expressed his intrigue as he curled the corner of his lips into a malicious sneer. “Drink it. I’ll tip you.”
At once, he pulled down Christina’s mask and poured the wine into her mouth.
Christina almost choked on the drink. Her eyes turned red as she started coughing.
After catching a breath, she gave the man a hard slap across his face and pushed him away.
The man crashed straight onto the ground, letting out an agonized scream.
The noise attracted the others‘ attention and they swarmed over in curiosity.
Christina widened her eyes in shock. She wanted to pick up the mask from the ground, but it was impossible.
A crowd was starting to gather around them. Worried that Emilia would notice her, Christina swiftly lowered her head.
