You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 330

As no one was able to locate Lucas, the crew had no choice but to use his body double for his scene in the end. As such, the crew felt resentment toward Lucas.

Some even started gossiping about his weaknesses and all his scandals.

Just like what Hilda said last night, Lucas did not lack scandals about his personal life even though none of them had been confirmed to be true.

As the saying goes, there would be no smoke without fire. As the rumors continued to stack up, more and more came to believe them.

But after a whole day of gossiping and mocking, there was still no trace of the mentioned actor. By then, everyone started to suspect it could be more than just his disciplinary problem.

As suspected, the following day, the director started with an announcement that another young actor would be replacing Lucas’ role. As for what actually happened to Lucas, none of them was able to get a hint.

However, before long, they were able to get the answer on the internet.

It was said that Lucas was arrested for hiring a prostitute and drugs were discovered inside his room.

With those two accusations, his acting career had undoubtedly come to an end, while possession of drugs alone could sentence him for life.

This was not all, however, because what followed next while the netizens were outraged by the young idol’s crimes was the news that Lucas was connected to a murder case.

This left the whole community in complete shock.

Isn’t he just a young actor? How is it possible that he’s involved in a murder case?

All these seemed to be fabrications, but in truth, they were not. After investigation, the cops found out that Lucas’ drugs came from a well-known dealer in the industry. And along with this discovery, numerous celebrities were exposed to be related to that particular drug dealer. Among the celebrities involved, there was one who wasn’t really famous, was found dead in his apartment. Later, It was confirmed that the case was not a suicide but a homicide, and Lucas automatically became one of the suspects. This was undeniably the largest scandal in the history of the entertainment industry.

And just when everyone thought this could not get any worse, the episode escalated once again.

While Lucas’ case was still under trial, a discovery suggested that Old Codger might be the boss behind the mentioned drug dealer. With that, Old Codger, who had been keeping a low profile, was being thrown under the spotlight. All of a sudden, more and more of his previous victims came forward to expose his crimes. All the accusations turned out to be heavy crimes, including rapes, frauds, and even murders.

With so many cases in hand, there was a high chance that Old Codger would not be able to escape a death sentence.

The whole showbiz was plunged into chaos because of Lucas and Old Codger, making it an unprecedented event.

In fact, the news was still trending even after a long time had passed.

Whenever Clarissa met someone, the topic of conversation would never stray far from Lucas and Old Codger.

However, none of them ever thought that Clarissa had something to do with it.

Even Clarissa herself was in total ignorance about how much Matthew had to do with this. In fact, she genuinely felt that this was the outcome they deserved.

After all, there was no way Matthew could have forced them to deal with drugs or murder anyone. In truth, they had indeed committed all the said crimes, while Matthew was merely exposing them.

On the other hand, after the incident with Lucas, Matthew had decided to stay at the film studio to accompany Clarissa for a few days.

As the media were all caught up with Lucas’ and Old Codger’s news, not many paid attention to Matthew’s arrival.

This worked in Clarissa’s favor, as she hated being followed or watched while shooting.

“Are you sure you want to keep staying here? Damian has been crying this past few days in the video calls. I doubt Ellie would be able to hold on any longer.”

After all, Clarissa understood her son best.

Even though a child might seem to forget about his parents because of food or toys, this would not last for long. After a certain period of time, the child would definitely start to miss them. And according to Ellie, Damian would start to cry whenever it was bedtime.

By then, no amount of his favorite food was able to placate him anymore. Instead, every night, Clarissa would need to tell him stories over video calls until he fell asleep.

Clarissa knew that this could not go on for long. Whenever she thought about how much Damian was missing her, her heart would ache for her son. She really wished she could leave without any concern. However, the atmosphere among the crew was not ideal recently due to the sudden replacement of Lucas. The director had been losing his temper more and more frequently, except when Matthew was watching at the scene.

Clarissa knew it would be irresponsible for her to leave the team behind at this moment as Hilda could not take charge yet. Since Clarissa was not leaving, Matthew would not leave as well.

Matthew had become a clingy husband. No matter where Clarissa went, he would always tag along. Even though he would be wearing his headset and focused on his work on the laptop for most of the time, he would always make sure Clarissa was within his sight.
