Chapter 121
“What? You’re too greedy.” Daniel clenched his fists. Quentin’s words trampled his pride.
One Caroline was not enough, and he still needed Arya. Daniel listened to what Quentin said next and fell silent.
“Anyway, those two have already left you. What are you not willing to do?”
Daniel gritted his teeth and his eyes filled with hatred.
“Alright, I agree to your conditions, but I want to meet you and talk to you.” Daniel knew that this Quentin was very cunning. He didn’t want to lose any benefits.
“Sure.”
Daniel hung up the phone. He heard footsteps outside. He hurriedly opened the door and saw Caroline pouring water in the kitchen.
“You are awake?”
Daniel looked at her alertly. His tone was cold. “You…”
“Daniel? Didn’t you sleep? Did I wake you up? I’m a little thirsty.” Caroline was wearing the pajamas he gave her. She looked gentle and lovely.
Daniel walked into the guest room with a cold face.
Caroline watched him leave and her eyes were filled with ruthlessness. She had heard him at the door earlier. Although she did not know who Daniel was meeting with, she clearly heard Arya’s name.
The next day, Daniel disappeared for a day. He did not answer the phone.
Caroline secretly found a private detective to follow him. She found that he was meeting with Quentin and had come to an agreement.
“Give me the agreement they signed. I will double the price for you.” Caroline felt that there was something wrong.
That afternoon, she got a backup copy of the agreement between Quentin and Daniel. When she saw the contents, she felt nauseous.
She did not expect Daniel to be so focused on this.
Daniel sold her and Arya in order to train the company’s new employees. However, Quentin was not that easy to fool.
In the future, Daniel would be under his control. All the female artists who had been signed by the Brilliant Entertainment would probably walk the path of unwritten rules.
Caroline smiled coldly and hid the agreement.
She was not worried about her future at all. The Golden Spear Award and KB contract she was about to get was her shield.
As for Arya, she would be sold by Daniel.
Everything she imagined was perfect and flawless.
…
As the media’s news brought the atmosphere of the Golden Spear Movie Festival to highest point, the most important award ceremony was about to begin.
Arya, as the guest of honor, was waiting in the makeup room to enter.
Luna suddenly ran in with her phone.
“Arya, do you know who you will be walking the red carpet with in a while?”
Arya looked at her angry and unwilling expression and frowned. “Who?”
“Quentin, it is the old pervert who slept with Caroline. What should we do? Someone must have secretly arranged this…” Luna felt disgusted when she thought about what he had done.
If Arya walked with him on the red carpet, the seats would definitely be arranged together. If she sat with that person all night, it would be torture.
“I will discuss with the organizers!”
“No need.” Arya blinked and looked up at Luna. “I will protect myself.”
She found a pair of satin gloves from the wardrobe next to her and applied some small marks on her wrist with honey powder and lipstick. It looked like she was allergic.
“You’re the smart one!”
Arya picked up her phone casually and saw the latest entertainment news. It was an interview with Caroline outside.
“Miss Caroline, I heard that you’ve already received the KB Economic Company’s three-year contract. What do you think?”
“Miss Caroline, you are one of the nominees for the Best Female Lead of Golden Spear tonight. Do you think you will win the award?”
Caroline smiled proudly in front of the camera. “I am just doing my best to put on a good show. Everything else has a lot of luck. There are many more excellent actors than me. For example, Arya, who was in the Brilliant Entertainment before.”
“But Arya did not get any nomination for any awards this time. Does it prove that you are stronger than her?”
Caroline did not answer this question directly. Instead, she smiled and said. “In the past, Arya and I were very good friends. She helped me a lot. In the future, I also hope that she can develop better.”
It seemed that she was really a gentle and magnanimous woman.
When Luna heard these few words, she was so angry that she couldn’t breathe. “How shameless! Who was the one who interrupted us back then? She still says these hypocritical words now.”
The reporters knew what she said was not true. But the entertainment industry was like this. The reporters needed to talk about it. Caroline just happened to make use of this point. Now that her value has doubled, if she gets the award tonight, she will be even more arrogant.
This industry was constantly changing. Caroline’s previous dirt would be covered up by the glory of winning the award.
But the premise was that she had to win Best Female Lead award tonight.
Arya no longer paid attention to the news and comforted Luna. “Don’t worry about her. We should wait and watch.”
Luna saw how calm she was and nodded heavily. “Arya, do your best!”
This was the first time Arya had made a public appearance after experiencing those rumors. After the reporters interviewed Caroline, they would definitely come and make things difficult for Arya. In addition, her red carpet partner tonight was actually Quentin.
It was as if heavens were going against Arya.
However, Arya knew better than anyone else that she had come to this step today not because of any dirts or unspoken rules.
The suffering she suffered and the tears she shed would become a solid foundation in the future. Even if Caroline discredited her, she would not be afraid.
On the other side, Allen also received the news that Arya would walk the red carpet with Quentin. His cold eyes darkened a little.
“Keep an eye on him. If he doesn’t behave behind his back, attack immediately!”
“Yes, CEO.”
Allen watched the live broadcast on TV. Arya slowly got off the car in her evening dress. Her smile was beautiful and gentle. The delicate diamond necklace complemented her white skin. However, she had a pair of satin gloves on her hands.
Next to her stood a middle-aged man in a gray suit. When he wanted to approach Arya, he revealed a troubled expression.
Allen smiled. It seemed that his smart wife had found a way to deal with this.
Arya smiled generously and chatted politely with the reporters. Suddenly, three to five reporters rushed forward and raised mic to shout.
“Do you think Miss Caroline will be the winner of tonight’s Golden Spear female lead?”
“She has signed the KB contract. Will you continue to stay in Brilliant Entertainment and win Daniel Parker’s heart?”
Quentin smiled wickedly at the side. He was prepared to see Arya embarrass herself. He waited for Arya to ask him for help.
The reporters’ questions were more and more tricky, but the smile on Arya’s face did not diminish at all. She calmly looked at the reporters.
“I am the guest of honor invited to the award ceremony tonight. Every nominated actor is very capable. I think this question also gives the judges a headache. You guys should ask Mr. Quentin!”
Chapter 122
“I…”
The question was suddenly thrown at him!
Quentin’s expression changed. He looked at the microphone that was raised to him in an instant and did not know how to speak.
He originally wanted to see Arya at a loss of what to do after being asked. Then, he took the opportunity to help her out. But now, he did not know what to do.
He smiled awkwardly. “This is currently a secret. We cannot reveal it.”
The reporters sighed and continued to attack Arya. Because Quentin’s reply was too official, there was no point in watching.
“Miss Arya, there is a rumor that a big shot in the industry is helping you from the back. May I ask if you have any response?”
Arya did not show any impatience when she heard these baseless questions. Instead, she said lightly, “I can only say that everyone has the freedom to express their views. I will not give any extreme response because of this. I believe that my fans who like me can see the truth.”
“I am a public figure. I will be responsible for my words and actions.”
“I hope that everyone has the ability to distinguish right and wrong. I also hope that everyone can focus on the Film Festival. Thank you.”
Arya’s answer made the reporters not make a mistake. She did not choose to pretend to be pitiful or to question the reporters righteously. Instead, she chose a very smooth way to answer.
She did not blame anyone for their comments on the Internet. Just this kind of tolerance was not something that ordinary people could do.
Her calm performance was the best answer. Anyone who had eyes could see her unique charm from the inside out.
People could not help but be attracted by her. The reporters all withdrew their microphones. If they continued to hold on to this question, it would appear that they were too lacking in quality. It would be better to take a few more beautiful photos of Arya.
Quentin looked at Arya with admiration. He was right. This woman was much smarter than Caroline. If he could get her… Quentin had already imagined many scenes in his mind.
“I didn’t think that you would be more perfect than I imagined.” The undisguised desire in his eyes was disgusting.
Arya signed her name gracefully and ignored Quentin as she walked towards the venue.
Quentin snorted when he saw her reject him so coldly. He quickly walked forward.
“You still don’t know, right? Your old lover, Daniel, has already given you to me. You better be obedient. Otherwise, I will make sure you have nowhere to go in the entertainment circle.”
Arya could not help but turn to look at him when she heard him.
“First of all, I don’t think Daniel has right to control my life. Second, are you serious about what you just said?”
“What do you mean?”
Arya took her phone out of her handbag and played what Quentin had said with the recording pen.
“You are recording. Give it to me quickly!” Quentin was so anxious that he wanted to grab it.
Arya took half a step back and revealed the lipstick that she had applied on her wrist in advance. “If you come any closer to me, I will throw the recording pen to the reporters over there and publicize your evil intensions to the public. Let’s see who has nowhere to go!”
“You!”
“Mr. Quentin, please take care of yourself.”
Arya turned her head and ignored him.
Quentin had nowhere to vent his anger. He did not expect Arya to be so powerful that he could not get close to her. It took him so much effort to arrange for her to walk the red carpet with him, but…
He sneered. “It’s okay. We have plenty of time!”
His and Arya’s seats were at the corner, but they were still next to each other. At that time, would he be afraid that she would not listen?
But before he could implement the plan, the staff walked in front of Arya. “Miss Arya, your seat has changed. Please follow me.”
“What? Which department are you from?” Quentin saw that the good thing was ruined and blocked Arya’s way in anger.
The staff member took out his work permit. “Mr. Quentin, this is the arrangement from above.”
Quentin was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he could only let Arya leave.
Sure enough, there was a big boss behind Arya helping her. Quentin spat fiercely. “Stop pretending to be pure.”
He would never have thought that the person helping Arya arrange these things would be the president of Dahua, Allen Jones. If he knew, he would definitely regret what he did today.
When Arya took her seat, Caroline had just sat down. She turned around and saw Arya in the row in front of her while Quentin was at the corner on the other side. She could not help but frown.
Could it be that Quentin had failed? He should not miss the opportunity to get along with Arya.
When she thought of that unknown agreement, Caroline wanted to wait to see Arya’s ruined reputation and she would obtain all the glory and become the new movie queen in the entertainment circle.
Half an hour later, she would receive the Best Female Lead award from Arya.
This was something she specially requested Quentin to arrange. She wanted to see Arya’s flustered and exasperated look.
She could snatch away Daniel and also movie queen’s movie. Arya destined to not get anything and would be betrayed by the man she loved the most. This was the difference in their fates.
Very quickly, the award ceremony began in the venue where the stars gathered.
“Next, let’s invite the actress Miss Arya and the famous director, Mr. Jacob Swan, to announce the award!”
Arya stood up with a calm expression and gracefully walked onto the stage. She looked at Jacob and nodded. The two of them stood in front of the microphone and faced all the guests and reporters
present.
Arya was wearing a dress that Allen had ordered customized for her. Standing under the crystal light, she was exceptionally beautiful. Her skin was as white as pearls. Compared to the way she stood on the stage and received the award, she had more unique charm.
Facing the countless cameras, Arya’s mind was clearer than ever.
She still had a long way to go. She absolutely could not lose her way because of the challenge in front of her.
“I still look forward to working with Arya. Otherwise, I think my movie life is incomplete.” Jacob said half- jokingly. His words showed that he was sure of Arya’s ability.
“Thank you, Director Swan. I’m also looking forward to it.” novelbin
“In my heart, you are the best female lead in the acting industry. Please give them the award.” Jacob politely gave up his seat and allowed Arya to have more chances to show herself.
Arya smiled back and picked up the beautifully decorated golden envelope.
“Next, I want to announce the most dazzling award tonight, the best female lead in this year’s Golden Spear Awards…”
Arya paused for a moment, “Please look at the big screen.”
On the rectangular screen appeared a film work and a movie clip, as well as the names and representative works of each female lead.
Caroline sat in her seat and raised her head proudly as she looked at the screen. She was waiting on stage to receive the award and had already thought of the lines to humiliate Arya. But before she could
see her own name, the screen froze.
The Best Female Lead had changed from the original five actresses to four!
Her name Caroline was removed.
Chapter 123
Caroline exploded on the spot.
“What does that mean?”
She had clearly received an invitation to the Best Female Lead nomination. Why would something happen at the moment of the award?
This must be Arya playing some trick!
However, Caroline’s voice attracted everyone’s attention. She was only focused on throwing a tantrum and did not notice that Quentin, who was on the other side, had already been invited out of his seat by the staff.
Arya and Jacob were still on the stage.
“I clearly had a nomination, why did it become four people?”
Caroline saw that the victory that was within her reach had turned into a bubble. How could she just sit there and wait for death?
At this time, the host walked up. “Everyone, please. Because this year’s Movie Festival has attracted a lot of attention, the organizers have been strictly enforcing the selection process, striving to be fair and public. However, ten minutes ago, we received an anonymous email.”
“A certain judge and a certain female star had an improper relationship and tampered with the Film Festival’s selection list. Now, we have discovered it in time and amended the results. Miss Caroline, according to the conditions of the selection, you do not have the qualifications to participate in the selection. Please go backstage and accept the investigation.”
At that time, the audience was in an uproar.
This was the most unbelievable scene that had occurred in the twenty something years since the Film Festival held this event.
The female lead who had the highest chance of winning the award was announced to not have the right to be nominated. The female lead who had an improper relationship with the judges was Caroline.
“She just signed the KB. Could it be related to this matter too?”
“No wonder she dared to break up with Daniel in a high-profile manner. It turned out that she has a new backer. She was just showing off in front of the reporters. Now she is dumbfounded.”
The host motioned for the staff to take Caroline away so that the award ceremony could continue.
But Caroline suddenly seemed to have gone made. She shouted loudly.
“Impossible! It must be you guys who deliberately harmed me. Is it that slut Arya?”
“Let go of me! I want to sue you guys. This award is mine!”
She gave up everything in exchange for today’s events. But because of a single sentence from these people, she would lose the title of Jinge Movie Queen. It was impossible!
Looking at Caroline’s crazy expression, the people around him had backed away, not wanting to get involved.
Her shout echoed throughout the entire hall. Compared to her crazy appearance, Arya was exceptionally calm. She only smiled faintly and watched Caroline walk around the edge of the cliff. novelbin
The host sighed, “Miss Caroline, please understand the reality. The organizers do not want to publicize the video in the anonymous email to the public. One month ago at the Red Forest Hotel, you should
have a deep impression. Please follow the staff to the backstage to receive an investigation. Please rest for ten minutes. The award ceremony will be postponed later.”
“If the investigation is true, the organizers will publicly apologize to the public and publicize the cause and evidence of the incident.”
The organizers dared to do so, which meant they had solid evidence.
Caroline’s methods were actually so inferior. She used her body to get to the top and even splashed dirty water on Arya.
This kind of female star was not worthy of winning an award, nor was she worthy of getting any source of drama.
“I was wondering why those threads on the Internet always splashed dirty water on Arya. It must have been her who did it. Back then, it was also her who interfered and caused Arya and the Brilliant Entertainment become stiff.”
“Her acting skills are not good. She is really capable.”
“This kind of person should be treated well. I am very curious about how explosive the video in the email was.”
The sounds of discussion filled the entire hall. Caroline stood on the spot and stared angrily at Arya on the stage.
She was so bright and beautiful. Caroline’s original plan to receive the trophy from her hands had completely failed. She might not even have the chance to receive any more scenes!
She had lost. She had lost to Arya’s calmness and Arya’s shrewdness!
“It was you who did it, right?”
Caroline carried her skirt and rushed towards Arya, but she was stopped by the staff and security guards halfway.
Arya looked at her. There was not the slightest ripple in her eyes. It was as if she had already expected this scene.
“I don’t need to do anything. This is the truth.”
What happened at this moment was all Caroline’s own fault.
The person who climbed onto Quentin’s bed was herself.
The person who signed the contract with the KB to get rid of Daniel was also herself.
“Caroline, your acting career is over.”
Caroline was stunned. Tears rolled down her cheeks. She smiled foolishly. Her vision turned black and she fainted.
The scene fell into chaos again. No one knew who shouted.
“Blood! There is blood on her dress!”
“She can’t be pregnant, right?”
“Send her to the hospital.”
Caroline fell from the clouds overnight. The hospital had confirmed that she was pregnant. When she opened her eyes, she found that the world was like hell to her.
Other than Arya, no one would use this kind of method to take revenge on her. Coincidentally, ten minutes before the award ceremony, the organizers saw the email. When Caroline thought that she was about to succeed, this dream was completely shattered.
Because only by doing so would Caroline never have a chance to turn over.
Chapter 124
Because of this interlude, Caroline became the joke of the entire entertainment circle.
After the organizers quickly adjusted the process, they changed the envelope in Arya’s hand.
The Best Female Lead winner was another actress named Iris.
After that, Arya returned to her seat. Her expression was normal and she was not affected by the farce earlier.
When Quentin left the backstage, he looked at Arya from afar. He only felt afraid.
What kind of power did she have behind her and how long could she endure for the final fatal blow?
All this time, the outside world misunderstood her. The rumors that filled the sky and the situation where she met all types of obstacles did not make her feel defeated. She had been waiting for tonight.
He did not know what kind of evidence the organizers had just obtained and denied all the questions. Due to his position in the entertainment circle, there was no substantial loss.
But if the matter was found out by others in future or Arya used the evidence to threaten him, he would definitely not let her go.
The following awards were handed out very smoothly. At the end of the award ceremony, the host held a provisional host’s speech and said to the entire audience.
“According to the organizers’ request, we have added an award tonight, the Best Contribution Award. This award is also seriously discussed and decided by the judges. It is absolutely fair. Next, we invite the president of Aorai Entertainment, Miss Melinda Carter, to present the award!”
“Melinda Carter is also here?” novelbin
“This year’s Golden Spear Festival is indeed different from the others.”
The opening night of the red carpet invited President of Dahua, Allen Jones, and today’s award ceremony invited Melinda Carter again.
Although the Aorai was a second-tier entertainment company, its CEO Melinda was a legendary figure in the industry. She was a diamond tycoon who focused on her beauty and strength.
“Good evening, please watch a movie first.”
Melinda, who was wearing a checkered dress, stood out among the female artistes. As the president of the Brokerage Agency, her figure and beauty were no less than any other celebrity.
In an instant, the lights in the entire venue dimmed. Everyone’s eyes were focused on the only big screen that was lit up, including Arya.
But when she heard the background music of that film, she was stunned.
This was the scene of her first movie, because that movie was very important to her. Then, on the screen played the movies which she was in and in the end it even broadcast the interview of the reality show, “Behind the Scenes.”
Arya’s breathing almost stopped.
“That’s Arya?”
“Her acting is indeed good.”
Discussions sounded around them.
The spotlight lit up again.
Melinda held the card in her hand and the sound surrounded the entire venue.
“Tonight, the stars shine brightly. Many excellent stars have stood here and won countless applause, but the award that I am announcing today has a very special meaning.”
“She is a very professional actress. Her roles in the movies have left a very deep impression on us. It is also because of her comeback that we saw the hard work and persistence of the movie actors. She is Arya.”
Under the stage, in the slightly quiet seats, there was slowly the sound of applause.
Best Contribution Award?
This had never happened in the history of Golden Spear Festival.
It could be said that Arya had already broken the record. She was both excited and surprised and suddenly did not know what to do!
Finally, she slowly stood up under the reminder from the staff beside her.
When the light kept on shining on her, she felt that every step she took was so unreal.
“Although she did not have any works to participate in this year’s competition, everyone has seen her work. She entered the international film industry through movies and received the unanimous approval of international directors. It was also through her path of comeback that she told us what a movie person’s true character is! Arya, thank you for your hard work for the movie. I also hope that you can produce better works after your comeback.”
Melinda passed the microphone to Arya and moved to the side.
Arya stood on the stage. Nervousness and excitement filled her mind. She did not expect this step and would not have thought that she would have the chance to stand here again.
This result moved her so much that she wanted to cry.
So this stage was so close to her…
She looked at the camera and smiled, “Thank you to the judges for giving me this award. I will continue to work hard and produce better works. I will also take this opportunity to thank everyone who believes in me and supports me.”
She really wanted to say Allen’s name, but she could not do that.
She could not express her emotions. She wanted to see him immediately.
Seeing Arya sobbing on stage, this award was not the most important award she had ever received, but it proved that her efforts and persistence were correct. It also let her understand who was the last person to be by her side.
Only those who had experiences the storm would understand her current mood.
Arya smiled and bowed with tears in her eyes. There was a round of applause from the audience. The work was important, but if this circle became chaotic, then what art was there to talk about?
As the award ceremony came to an end, Arya’s heart slowly calmed down.
Not far away, Quentin’s eyes were following her. There was a surge of anger in his heart that could not be quelled. If not for Arya, why would he be investigated by the organizers?
Seeing Arya’s dazzling appearance on stage, he wanted to have her even more. Arya’s beauty was not something that Caroline, that kind of little actress, could compare to.
However, he could do anything to Arya now. She had just won this award and it was too eye-catching. He snorted and left the venue. He wanted to go to the hospital to see Caroline’s situation. He could not let her expose their relationship.
Chapter 125
After Arya finished, she walked out of the side door. Her skirt was dragged on the ground but she did not care at all. She looked at the man on the street not far away and smiled.
She knew that he would definitely come!
“Allen.”
The other actors left through the main entrance. She was not worried about being seen. She could not help but run to him and shout his name.
“Congratulation…” Allen reached out and hugged Arya. The two of them were especially close in the night.
“I…” She opened her mouth. She wanted to say as much as a book. But looking at his face, she suddenly did not want to use words to express her feelings.
It was as if he understood her words. Allen took her to the car. “Let’s go home.”
Arya smiled and hid in his arms.
“I miss you very much.”
She whispered in her ear. Allen carried her out of the car and walked into the villa. novelbin
She hooked her arms around Allen’s neck and offered him warm lips. The two of them hugged each other tightly and lit the sweet night with hot temperature.
It was not until late at night that the lingering feelings ended. They sat together on the balcony and looked up at the night sky.
“This award was not arranged by you, right?” Arya raised her neck in suspicion and looked carefully at his expression.
After all, his power was beyond her imagination. It was not difficult to set up an award alone, but if Allen had sent someone to establish a relationship, she would rather not accept this award.
“No, I know you don’t like me doing this.” Allen’s palm caressed Arya’s back. Although they had not known each other for long, he knew her preferences and stubbornness very well.
His thin lips slightly lifted and he got closer to Arya.
“What kind of reward do you want tonight?”
“En, Can I have anything?” Arya smiled slyly and held his face with her fingers.
“I want this man in front of me to accompany me for rest of my life.”
Allen looked at her. Arya’s smile reflected in his dark eyes.
“You wasted an opportunity because this man already belongs to you.”
…
In the VIP ward of the United Hospital.
Caroline was lying on the hospital bed. She slowly opened her eyes. Beside her was her manager, Kayden. The reporters outside the door were stopped. They were blocking the door, wanting to get first-hand news.
“Caroline, you’re awake!” Kayden saw her open her eyes and immediately walked to the bed. “How is it? Do you feel better?”
Caroline looked at him and slowly remembered what happened last night, “Is the award ceremony over?”
“Yes, it’s all over. Have a good rest.” Kayden sighed. He had watched Caroline all the way until today and did not want her to hurt herself like this.
“In the end, I still lost to Arya.” Caroline’s hands trembled as she clutched the bed sheet. Hatred spread in her eyes.
“There must be someone behind her to help her. She actually broke the Golden Spear Movie Festival’s record and obtained the Best Contribution Award. What contribution does she have? It was all made with money!”
“What?” Caroline’s mind immediately cleared up.
She did not expect Arya to actually…
Caroline gritted her teeth, “Arrange for a few familiar reporters to come in and interview me. I have the recordings and photos of Daniel and Quentin’s secret negotiations. Arya getting this award is definitely related to Quentin. Even if not, I will drag her along with me!”
Chapter 126
“No!”
Kayden immediately rejected Caroline’s idea. The fact that she had been nominated was already under investigation. They did not have any solid evidence now. As long as Caroline insisted that she did not know Quentin, there was still room for negotiation in the future.
But if they really did do it, she would sit back and let the rumors about her relationship with Quentin be confirmed. At that time, it would not be easy to end it.
“If KB breaks his contract because of this storm, I will help you talk about other companies. Don’t worry, I will not give up on you.”
“What’s the use? I am not young anymore. I can still withstand a few years of tests. Besides, Quentin will not let me go. He knows that I have a picture of him sleeping with me. When he comes to threaten me, it will be too late. I must seize the opportunity!”
“Caroline, you!”
Kayden did not know how to persuade her. He could only say, “I will go find a few familiar reporters first. Don’t be anxious. Take your time.”
There were not many female stars like Arya who had made a comeback, so there must be a lot of media watching her.
Although Caroline’s plan was very dangerous, it was the only path she could take now.
Kayden spent some money to bribe two media reporters and arranged a special interview for Caroline.
That afternoon, the overwhelming news appeared on Hot Search List.
“Is it movie queen or after sleep?”
“How many men are supporting her step by step?”
“The deal has been exposed. There is a motive and a truth.”
The headline and news on the major media websites were all about Golden Spear Award and Arya. The matter of her winning the Best Contribution Award had been exaggerated to the point of being reported. It had even slandered Arya’s character in the content. It was her who pointed out that the person who had an affair with the judges was not Caroline.
There was even a picture of her walking the red carpet with Quentin that night.
Negative news flooded over. Arya had been pushed to the top of the wave. The Brilliant Entertainment was seen as a third-rate workshop that relied on unwritten rules to promote movie stars. That unknown judge had also started to be eaten by netizens.
Everyone was at loss because of this subversive situation. Originally, the netizens who were happy because Arya won the award posted threads one after another, questing if Arya was too good at acting. She shed her tears on the bed of the Golden Spear Movie Festival judge.
As the current president of Brilliant Entertainment, Daniel’s phone was about to be broken by the reporters.
He sat in the office and was furious. “Bring Caroline over immediately!” novelbin
That slut actually used such a vicious method to force him and drag everyone into the water!
Those photos and recordings had exposed his deal with Quentin. Now, everyone in the Brilliant Entertainment had seen his true face.
“The hospital said that she has been discharged from the hospital and is nowhere to be found.” The secretary replied.
“Then go and find her! No matter what price you have to pay, find him for me!” Daniel roared in anger.
Caroline, just you wait.
Daniel used all his connections in the industry and finally found Caroline through the two reporters who interviewed Caroline.
“Caroline, come out!”
He kept knocking on the door and shouted like crazy. He had been forced into a corner and could not let her go.
“Director Daniel, you go. Caroline is not here!” Kayden forced himself to open the door.
“Get lost!” Daniel rushed in and saw Caroline sitting on the sofa. Her face was full of disdain and pride.
He panted heavily and punched the wall. “Tell me, why did you do this?”
“You forced me. When I fainted, Arya actually won the prize. What right does she have to step on my head!” Caroline threw the photos of Daniel and Quentin’s deal on the ground, “I know why you came to me. Isn’t this all? Take it. Anyway, I still have a lot.”
“Bitch!”
Daniel slapped Caroline’s hand.
His anger was out of control. After hitting Caroline, he woke up, “How did you become so dirty for movie queen’s award?”
“I am dirty? Ha, when you were sleeping with me, why didn’t you find me dirty? Now that I had an abortion and was unconscious in the hospital all night, you started to dislike me?”
Daniel looked at her and was silent.
He would never have thought that things would develop to this stage.
If he had not broken up with Arya and hooked up with Caroline, perhaps none of this would have happened. He might have become the son-in-law of Morrison Family long ago.
At this point, who could he blame?
It was because he was too greedy and thought that there was true love between him and Caroline, but in the end… he was pushed into the abyss.
“Remember, if I don’t have a way out, you won’t have a good life either!” Daniel gave her one last look, slammed the door and left.
In this matter, the one who was injured the most was not him, but Arya. She clearly did not do anything, but was slandered by the media as a slut who relied on her body to rise.
Daniel smoked one cigarette after another. In the end, he mustered up the courage to dial Arya’s number.
Chapter 127
He heard Arya’s voice from the other side of the phone and took a deep breath, “It’s me.”
“Is something the matter?” Arya frowned and her voice was very cold.
“Arya, I’m sorry. I know I was wrong. I also know that this matter has brought you a very bad influence. I am currently thinking of a way to resolve it. Give me some time. I will definitely…”
“How do you want to solve it? You have indeed met Quentin and betrayed me, right?”
After Arya read the report, she felt that her previous efforts were not worth it. “You have made a choice. Now that Caroline exposed you, it is your own fault. I do not need you to clarify anything for me. There is no need for any more involvement between us.”
After saying that, Arya directly hung up the phone.
Daniel held his phone in pain and squatted by the roadside. He had already received the most painful punishment. The regret that was rooted in his heart made him unable to breath.
“Arya, I’m sorry.”
Luna heard Arya’s phone call and became even angrier, “Does he still have the face to make a phone call? I think he and Caroline are a match made in heaven. Both of them are so good at scheming.”
“Daniel also did not expect Caroline to use this kind of self-destruction method to take revenge on him.” novelbin
Arya quietly though about it and said to Luna. “I was careless. I just wanted to be on guard against Quentin and forgot to investigate the situation of Brilliant Entertainment.”
“But…” Luna sighed, “Arya, you did not do anything wrong.”
“If I did not ask you to send that email to the judges before the award ceremony, Caroline would not have used such an intense method to take revenge.”
Arya was a little helpless. It was her fault.
“Daniel can’t protect himself now. Quentin has already escaped overseas. There is only one way to help you get out of your current predicament.” Allen gently rubbed Arya’s long hair.
“You mean?” Arya frowned and rubbed her head against Allen. “Allen, I don’t think so.”
“I won’t use my identity as the president of Dahua Group to help you. I will only help you as your husband. Is that okay?” Allen held her fingers tightly and warmed her cold hands. He had his own persistence.
“I know what you are worried about, but there is no other way.” He tried to persuade her in low voice.
Arya had to admit that what he said made sense.
This kind of rumors could not be clarified and she could not ignore it.
“Okay, then I will go with Luna to prepare a press release and make a statement as my manager and lawyer.” Arya nodded. When necessary, she must use the law to protect herself.
“Remember, no matter what happens, I will be behind you.”
Allen patted Arya’s long hair and gently kissed her forehead.
…
When the news got more and more intense, the Brilliant Entertainment gave an official response.
“We are currently investigating the matter of Caroline and Arya. The company is also very sad that such a situation has occurred. They are all artists raised by the Brilliant Entertainment, but no one can predict what female artist would do in such a complicated environment. If the matter is true, the Brilliant Entertainment will follow the contract and pursue their legal responsibility.”
Luna listened to the broadcast and spat fiercely.
“This was all Daniel’s idea, wasn’t it? Just like his sister. If anything happens, he will only push the dirty water onto others. Arya, I think we need to hurry.”
Arya acknowledged and already came up with a plan in her mind.
“Think of a way to inquire about the inside information of Brilliant Entertainment. I think Daniel’s position is also very dangerous. We need to use this to cause internal strife in the Brilliant Entertainment, not to splash dirty water on us. On the other hand, I also feel that there are other people involved in this matter.”
Just Caroline alone could not cause such a huge commotion. Who was the one controlling everything behind the scenes?
“Could it be that we have other opponents?” Luna frowned, “Could it be that little girl from last time?”
Chapter 128
“Naomi? It shouldn’t be her. She just got the new contract from the Sunsand and won’t participate in this kind of thing. To her, she just needs to watch the fire from the other side.”
Arya’s thoughts were like a bundle of tangled hemp threads. She supported her forehead with a slight headache.
Seeing her like this, Luna was also very worried about her situation.
“I checked the movie invitation you received. Other than Director Jacob who insisted on using you, the other directors and producers have already changed. Arya, do you want to take this opportunity to take a break?”
Recently, Arya had experienced too much.
If Allen had not been by her side all this time, Luna was really worried that she would not be able to persist.
Arya shook her head, “Luna, I can still hold on. Since I have already reached this step, how can I stop? These rumors will pass sooner or later.”
Even if she had to grit her teeth and endure it, she had to endure it.
The previous movie invitations became scrap paper. There were posts scolding Arya everywhere on the website.
“Shameless woman, wasting my feelings.”
“I thought she was a very positive actress. I didn’t expect that she was also a green tea bitch who relied on her body to get promoted. She even pretended to be so pitiful and innocent in front of the camera. She is not as good as Caroline. At least she dares to tell the truth!”
“All the female celebrities in the entertainment industry are like this. If they don’t take off their clothes, how can they get contract? What a joke. I actually bought the advertising products she endorsed. I’ll return the goods tomorrow!”
“You have the nerve to be a celebrity with this kind of character. Aren’t you afraid of ruining the social atmosphere?” novelbin
No one cared about what Arya experience. The way she won award on the Film Festival was thrown to the back of their minds. Everyone only remembered that she was a female celebrity who only won the award after she hooked up with the judges.
That afternoon, Arya received a phone call from Quentin.
“The Brilliant can’t protect you anymore. How about it? Do you want me to help you contact the manager of KB or the other Brokerage Agency? It’s up to you to choose!”
“I heard that you’ve already escaped overseas. Can you still control the situation in the country?” Arya tried to ask Quentin something.
If she could find out who he was related to, she might be able to find a way to solve this problem.
However, Quentin was a very cautious person. The purpose of his call was to bait Arya again.
“I know that you have someone supporting you behind your back. I don’t care, but let me tell you, only when I say that you are not involved in this matter will you be able to escape unscathed. The price is that you must accompany me for a night!”
“As long as you nod your head, I will immediately send you a ticket. Once you get on the plane, I can get someone to release a press release in the country. How about it? This is a very good opportunity for you.”
Arya’s eyes were cold, “You are indeed a scumbag.”
“Huh, still pretending to be pure? Arya, if you continue to resist like this, all of your efforts will be in vain. I don’t believe it. You still have a few more years to wait.”
To female artist, time was most precious.
Arya had acting skills and strength, but she did not have much time to waste. She needed to get the best film contract in her golden time so that she could establish her position in the future.
Quentin was betting that she would not dare to go against his wishes.
But…
She would never betray Allen.
“I will not be the second Caroline, digging my own grave.” After Arya finished speaking, she immediately hung up the phone.
She took a deep breath to calm down the anger in her heart.
Since when did the people in this circle start to play this kind of dirty trick? It was disgusting.
“Arya, this is a script sent by Director Jacob. He said in front of the reporters that he would never replace the female lead.” Luna said happily.
Arya heard the news and opened the video interview online.
Director Jacob did not avoid speaking up for Arya. He said that he believed that Arya would never do that kind of thing.
Arya immediately sent a thank you message to Director Jacob and let Luna publicize the lawyer’s letter. The matter of “Sleeping with the Judges” was definitely fake news. Arya would use legal means to protect her reputation.
Furthermore, Arya’s fans had also released Arya’s public schedule. She could not have had any interaction with Quentin in front of the Movie Festival.
The directors who had collaborated with Arya also said during interviews that Arya, whom they knew, would definitely not do that kind of thing.
“She is very popular in the industry. Why should she be with an old man like that?”
“If she really has the so-called backstage to help her, she would not announce her retirement at the most popular time, right?”
“Arya’s acting is obvious. People who spread rumors are just jealous of her strength. I believe Arya will be reborn from ashes.”
Chapter 129
When the two extreme comments collided on the Internet, the Dahua Entertainment appeared at the most critical moment.
At the press conference where the new Dahua Theater was going to be released, when the manager of the Dahua’s General Affairs Department interviewed the reporters, he expressed his belief that Arya had nothing to do with the hidden rules of the entertainment industry and praised her for being an outstanding actress in the entertainment industry.
“In this industry, appropriate scandals can increase the exposure of a celebrity, but if the content is purely fabricated and will harm the artiste itself, as the Brokerage Agency’s perspective, we hope that the outside world can pay attention to the work itself.”
“Some unproven speculation may mislead the public.”
What he meant was that the rumors about Arya were just guesses. People could not think that Arya was related to this matter just because Arya’s name was in the agreement photo.
In fact, there was no conclusive evidence to prove this matter.
The Dahua’s statement immediately led to a large number of questing voices, and it started a war of words online.
“That’s right. The media does not have any evidence. I think Caroline and Daniel are the ones who framed Arya.”
“Everyone says that only through unspoken rules one can be able to obtain an award. Could it be that the people who have won the awards all have unspoken rules with the judges? The entertainment
industry is really chaotic!”
As the situation continued to develop, Daniel finally kicked out of the CEO position by Brilliant Entertainment. After the meeting, everything about him was rejected. After all, the current situation was very tense. If the Brilliant didn’t punish Daniel severely, the company would not be able to protect itself.
Caroline saw the announcement from the Brilliant Entertainment and was extremely proud.
“I knew those old guys would not let Daniel go. See, he forced me to this extent, he will die with me!”
Kayden, her manager shook his head. Seeing Caroline going crazy because of revenge, he was really worried.
“Caroline, actually what you did back then was not right. I see that Director Daniel is not in a good condition now. Do you want to go and see him?” Kayden took out his phone and passed it to Caroline.
In his opinion, they had a relationship after all.
“Although the child is gone, you guys…”
“Kayden, are you crazy? Do you want me to comfort him at this time? Ha, he is the one who caused me to be like this! When he slept with me back then, he told me many flowery lies, saying that he wanted to make me a big star in the entertainment industry. Because of what he said, I have been staying in Brilliant Entertainment all this time.”
“Caroline, don’t say such things.”
“I wasted my youth in Brilliant and wasted my time on him. He can’t afford it!” Caroline bit her red lips angrily and sneered, “He has today. He brought it upon himself!”
At the same time, Luna also told this news to Arya.
“I think Daniel and his sister will end up the same.”
Arya hummed and her screen of her phone lit up. It was Daniel.
She did not care but Daniel kept calling her. So she had no choice but to pick up the phone.
Allen’s hand that was pouring the coffee stopped for a moment, but in an instant, like nothing had happened, he walked to Arya’s said and sat down.
Arya did not have any intension to avoid him. So she said coldly, “Hello.”
“Arya, I am finished. I am no longer the CEO of Brilliant Entertainment. Those old fellows still want to sue me. I can’t stay in the country any more. I have already booked the plane ticket. I will immediately leave the country.”
“That’s your problem. Goodbye.” Arya answered without hesitation. To her, Daniel was already a stranger.
“No!” Daniel shouted, “They took everything from me! I can’t stay in the entertainment circle in the country, but as long as I go abroad to look for my sister, I still have a chance.”
Arya frowned. She did not understand why Daniel called her.
“Arya, I know your situation is not good. You just started your career and you have to face these rumors alone. You must be very tired. It’s okay. Come with me. I don’t care if you have cheated me before. As long as you nod your head, I can pretend that nothing has happened before.”
Arya took a deep breath. She was really shocked by Daniel’s words.
How bad could a person be to be so thick-skinned and speak in such a dark manner?
“Arya, why don’t you say anything? I don’t have much time. I will go and pick you up now. Where are you?”
Arya took a deep breath and said coldly to Daniel, “You are more shameless than I though.”
“You are the one who betrayed me, not me. You dragged me down because of your own selfish desires. Now you want to forgive me generously and take me away?”
“I’m sorry. I don’t need your generosity. We are long over.”
“The only reason I stayed in Brilliant Entertainment was to see you lose your reputation. Unfortunately, I don’t hate you as much as Caroline. I can’t take you down with me.”
On the other side, Allen dialed his secretary’s number, “I heard Brilliant is going to replace the president, go and check it out.”
His voice was neither soft nor heavy. It was just enough for Daniel to hear on the other side of the phone.
He instantly shouted, “Who are you with?”
He clearly heard the man’s voice, also heard him mention the word “Brilliant.” Sure enough, there was a big shot in the entertainment circle helping Arya.
“Quentin didn’t see wrongly. You are also a slut, pretending to be pure on the surface. In reality, you are even more lowly than Caroline!”
“What I do is my business, it has nothing to do with you.”
“You are really heartless. A few months ago, we almost got married…”
“You also said that we almost got married. I am very good now, very happy.” Arya looked at Allen and knew it was the time. Otherwise, Daniel would have been living in a dream.
“Arya, don’t be angry. Who else can you be with other than me? Your reputation has already been ruined.”
“I’m married. Please don’t disturb me anymore.”
Daniel did not believe her at all. He smiled and said, “Who dares to marry you?”
Arya did not answer this question directly. Instead, she told Daniel calmly, “Everything about me has nothing to do with you.”
Daniel did not expect this result. He knew that Arya would not joke about this kind of thing. His heart felt as if it was torn apart. Pain and regret speared in his heart.
He had always thought that Arya would wait for him to change his mind. After all, she was obedient to him. How could she suddenly marry someone else?
He could not accept this reality. He thought that no matter how he treated Arya, as long as he waved to her, she would immediately come to his side. However, the current situation gave him a hard slap.
“I know. You must have married an ugly and old man. What do you think? Does he have money? Can he satisfy you in bed?”
“Daniel Parker, you are disgusting!”
His thoughts were dirty to the extreme. In his eyes, Arya could only betray him. He had never respected Arya, nor had he thought about it from her point of view.
Chapter 130
“Then tell me who you married!” Daniel refused to believe everything and kept asking.
Allen took Arya’s expression into his eyes and gently held her hand. “Then let’s meet and let him give up.”
In fact, Allen had already planned to help Arya get rid of this person.
“I will get Luna to contact you.” After Arya finished speaking, she immediately hung up the phone and turned to Allen and said, “Actually there is no need…”
He tightened his grip on her hand and there was a trace of light in his dark pupils.
“Do you know how I feel when I hear what he said? Arya, I can protect you.”
Luna saw the atmosphere and quietly left.
Arya was touched and nodded. She went forward and hugged him and said her thoughts. “Allen, I just don’t want you to worry about these things.”
The corner of his mouth rose and hugged Arya.
“You may not know. A man who can protect his woman at such a time is a form of recognition for him.”
Arya looked up from his embrace and saw trust in each other’s eyes.
…
In the car.
Arya kept looking out the window with a very calm expression.
The secretary called and said that he had already sent Daniel to the restaurant.
Allen said. “Take him in first.”
He would not make a big fuss about Daniel. This was just a restaurant that he and Arya often went to.
The car stopped at the entrance of the restaurant. Daniel could see where he was sitting.
The woman who used to walk around him was now getting out of the car gracefully. Her originally calm face revealed a sweet smile when she looked at the man beside her.
Envy and anger filled Daniel’s mind.
He could not see Allen’s face from this angle, but he could see his tall figure. He frowned slightly and was sure that Arya would step on two boats when they were dating.
“How despicable…” He muttered softly and sat upright in the chair. He looked around the restaurant and shouted in distain. “The dishes here are not of high quality. No one is coming!”
The waiter stood beside him and waited. When he heard this, he politely replied, “Sir, you misunderstood. Mr. Jones booked the place today.”
Daniel was stunned. How much would a restaurant of this level cost?
“Heh, to show off to me, you really spent a lot of money.” He was even more curious about who the other party was!
The waiter ignored him.
Daniel heard the footsteps and looked up. His eyes slowly fixed on Arya and Allen.
“You…”
Daniel was stunned. How could this be?
How was this possible?
Allen Jones, the president of Dahua Group, was actually Arya’s husband!
If not, why did she get out of Allen’s car and hold his arm? Then naturally…
Daniel lowered his head. He suddenly thought of his nonsense in the morning.
The difference between Daniel and Allen was not small. The other party could crush him with a single move of his finger. Under Daniel’s shocked gaze, Arya and Allen sat together.
Daniel trembled and lowered his head. He did not dare to look at them.
Allen said to the waiter, “Serve the dishes.”
“Okay, Mr. Jones.”
Allen looked at Arya with deep affection and held her hand.
He then turned his head to look at Daniel. His sharp and cold eyes were filled with coldness.
“I heard that Mr. Parker is very curious about me.”
Daniel’s heart skipped a beat. He really wanted to take back what he said.
In front of a man of status like Allen, his thoughts and actions were as low as dirt.
Such a man actually married Arya!
No, this was definitely not true! Was he dreaming?
Daniel nervously straightened his back, cold sweat sliding down his forehead. He could not look Allen in the eye, much less eat with the couple at the same table.
“I… I have something to do. I have to go now.”
Daniel pushed the chair away in a panic, wanting to leave.
“Are you going to leave just like that?” Allen gaze was fierce as he looked at Daniel.
The waiter who had been waiting at the side immediately went up to stop Daniel.
The person who wanted to see him was Daniel. It was not easy to leave now.
“Mr. Parker has always been so curious about me. He left without saying anything. Isn’t it too rushed?” There was something in Allen’s words. He gave Daniel a deep look.
“I…” Daniel’s heart was beating wildly. He regretted what he had done. He immediately apologized to Allen.
“I’m sorry, Director Jones. I really didn’t know that you and Arya were… I’m sorry. I will immediately find a reporter and I will testify for Arya. She will not have anything to do with Quentin.”
He thought that he could use this method to redeem his dignity.
However, what answered him was Allen’s cold eyes and disregard. “No need. Those things are easy to settle.”
If it wasn’t for Arya, how could a small character like Daniel have the chance to eat at the same table as Allen?
Things had developed to this point, but Arya did not want Allen to help her. If their marriage was made public, which media would dare to report it?
This sentence deeply hurt Daniel’s confidence. In front of Allen, he was too incompetent, even very ignorant.
Daniel swallowed his saliva. He looked at Allen and felt very upset. Could it be that Allen agreed to meet him just to humiliate him?
“Director Jones, then what do you want me to do?” Daniel asked with a trembling voice.
Allen did not answer. Instead, he gave the decision to Arya. When he looked at Arya, Allen’s gaze was very gentle.
At this moment, Daniel finally understood that Allen was avenging Arya. He wanted to see how miserable he looked.
But would Allen really like Arya?
In Daniel’s opinion, the reason why he doted on Arya so much was because she was young and beautiful. Or perhaps Allen was tired of playing with her and would treat her like this?
He thought that the reason why Allen came out today was definitely because Arya begged him.
Men all like new things and hated old times. It was impossible for them to have any feelings for each other.
How can an emperor like Allen Jones like a retired actress like Arya? It was just that Allen was playing with Arya!
Arya could guess Daniel’s thoughts with just a glance, but she did not need to prove anything to him.
“Arya, tell me, what do you want me to do… I really did not expect you to play this kind of trick.” Daniel suddenly became arrogant.
“I do not need you to do anything because we are no longer related.” Arya looked at Allen and said slowly, “I just don’t want my husband to worry about me.”
“Huh, are you guys really married? Why is there no news from the outside world?”
Daniel smiled proudly. “I think you are lying to me.”
“July 19th. We got the credentials from the Civil Affairs Bureau.” Arya said to him.
Daniel suddenly thought of something. His eyes slowly became empty and even a little shocked.
That day was the day he agreed to go with Arya to get his marriage certificate but because he invited Caroline at the bachelor party the day before, the two of them stayed in Arya’s apartment for a long time. After that, he even asked Arya to go and audition for Caroline.
Memories surged like a tide and completely drowned Daniel.
“Impossible. If it was you who did that, why didn’t you let…”
“Why didn’t I let Allen stand up for me?” Arya asked him back. She felt that this question was ridiculous. “I don’t want Allen to……..
