Although this matter would not be reported on the media side, it was inevitable that some rumors were leaked out.
They still had to do something on the public relations aspect.
After Zoe received the call, she was relieved to know that he had settled everything.
As for the PR aspect, she had already made arrangement just in time to manage those critics online.
As soon as there was a slight movement on the internet, it was immediately suppressed.
At the end of the day, although they had officially announced that Laura would take a leading role in “The Youth” and the trailer had come out, the drama had not yet been broadcast, so there were not many people who had known about it.
Furthermore, she was just a newcomer with only about 200 Twitter followers. As long as the media and the bigwigs did not put her into trouble, there should be not much big deal.
After settling all this, Max asked Zoe to see if anyone had taken any photos or videos at the scene.
If there was indeed such a photo or video, no matter how much it cost, it must be destroyed.
Otherwise, even if there was no trouble now, it might be a problem if someone brought this issue up in the future.
Zoe knew it, so before he told her, she had already asked her men to deal with it.
Max only had time to meet Laura when he had settled all the issues.
They met at a crossroads.
The driver parked the car at the roadside. Laura, who was wrapped in an overcoat, got down from the car.
Seeing him, a few hints of guilt appeared in her eyes.
“Did I get you into a big trouble today?”
Her tone was timid. It was the first time she spoke in such a tone to him. He smiled instantly.
“You know you’ve caused me trouble?”
Laura twitched her mouth and lowered her head in dissatisfaction.
It was not what she wanted either, OK?
She did not know if it was because she had offended Molly and the others at the party today because of him.
After all, she had not offended anyone in this circle, so if someone had really framed her on purpose, it could only be because of what had happened tonight.
Whatever, he was the culprit!
Thinking of this, Laura could not help but looked at him with a gloomy face.
Max had obviously thought of this as well. He looked uncomfortable as he gave a clear cough.
“Er … don’t worry! I will find out the truth for you. I’ll never forgive those who had put you into trouble.”
Laura nodded.
The weather was cool at night, and they were standing by the roadside, so it was not convenient for Max to talk to her anymore. He then waved his hand.
“Alright, you go back first.”
“Okay.”Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
When the car had left, he returned to his car. His assistant handed over his computer, on which a CCTV footage was being played.
He explained, “Mr. Nixon, we’ve retrieved the CCTV footage throughout the lobby and we’ve also seen the waiter who bumped into Miss Davies, but because of the angle, we could only see his back but not his face, so it might not be that easy to trace the person out for now.”
Max nodded and did not say anything.
“Mr. Nixon, do you think we should hand this over to the police?”
He shook his head, “No need.”
His eyes lingered on the video, dragging the progress bar back to half an hour ago.
He could see that the waiter entered a private room, followed by Molly a few moments later.
He sneered, as if talking to himself or sneering, “How dare you play such tricks in front of me! You must be so tired of your life.”
Laura did not pay any more attention to the progress of this matter.
She only knew that two days later, Molly, who was also an artist of Annie International, was suddenly being suspended for no reason.
Unlike her, whose contract with Annie International only lasted for five years, Molly had signed a contract for ten years back then in order to get into the company.
She was only 26 years old now and was already a second-tier artist in the entertainment industry. Although she did not have any well-known works, she had quite a fame because she was good at hyping.
With her current fame, if she could take on a few more well produced dramas, as long as her acting was not too bad, she would basically be able to survive in the second tier and still had a hope to strive for the first tier.
However, at this very moment, she was suspended.
Her fans did not know what was going on, but they’ve noticed that her Twitter account had not been updated much lately.
It also seemed that she had not appeared in many activities recently, let alone dramas.
The president of Molly ‘s fans club had access to her schedule, but at this time, when she went to ask for it, the answer she got was that she had no schedule lately.
Everyone was confused.
Immediately afterwards, the official account of Annie International released a statement.
The gist of the statement was that Molly’s activities had been suspended for an indefinite period of time as she had broken her contract.
As soon as this statement was posted, there was an uproar on the internet.
Annie International did not give much detail as to what she did. Some media had tried to poke around, but they could not find anything.
As a result, speculation grew.
As soon as the speculation started, some people got her into more trouble.
As a result, all the shameful things that Molly had done in the past were exposed one by one.
For example, how she slept with the producer to get a role, her secret affairs with a rich man and how she ostracized actresses in the crew even though they were from the same company.
It was also said that she used to be a prostitute. She had been a model before she became an
actress and she had attended certain strange parties.
In short, her black history was getting exposed.
Before Molly could understand what was going on, she was crushed by the waves of rumors out there.
She sat at home, scrolling through the half-true and half-false scandals on Twitter. She was going to be crazy.
She called her assistant, but her assistant, who usually treated her in a respectful manner, spoke to her indifferently this time.
“From today onwards, I’m not your assistant. Go ask the company yourself if you have any questions.”
After saying that, she blocked her phone number.
Molly was so angry that she almost smashed her phone.
She trembled for a while and then called her agent Evan with trembling fingers.
Evan was a veteran agent in this circle.
In Annie International, the artists that he took care of would rarely have any problem.
He had a wide range of contacts in this circle. Even though Molly was arrogant and domineering, she was still a bit afraid of him.
When this kind of scandal broke out and the internet was in an uproar, she thought that Evan would call her and scold her like he used to do.
But unexpectedly, he did not call her today.
Her phone was very quiet. From the beginning to the end, not a single person called her.
This deadly quietness made her even more frightened, and a bad feeling rose in her heart.
This bad feeling continued until she saw the official statement from Annie International just now.
Her head exploded with a buzz.
Suspended for an indefinite period of time?
Her eyes widened as she stared at those words in disbelief.
