Chapter 171
Although Director Clerk and Maria had known each other for many years, no one would go against Dahua.
Furthermore, it was Martin who came personally. He was Allen’s most capable subordinate. What he said could represent Allen.
“She isn’t an artist of Dahua.” Martin paused for a moment and asked, “I heard that Justin brought Arya for the audition and you rejected them.”
The Dahua had always been well-informed.
Director Clerk was a little confused. What was Martin trying to do? Could it be that the Dahua want to support Arya? But Arya was not an artist of Dahua…
“Secretary Knight, let’s go inside and talk!”
Director Clerk invited Martin to his office. After closing the door, he revealed a bitter expression, “Actually, I want to use Arya too, but she has been plagued by rumors and there is no Brokerage Agency. I don’t dare to use her.”
“Besides, she doesn’t have a background.”
The cast and crew needed to rely on guest characters to win over investors, such as Arya, who was a capable actress. It was not appropriate for them to use her.
“Who told you that Arya has no background?” Martin asked back, “Our Director Jones said that if you use Clara, your film will not be released.”
“But if you use Arya, Dahua will guarantee that your movie will be sold at the box office.”
Only then did Director Clerk react.
It was not that Arya did not have backer. Her backer was the Emperor of entertainment industry.
He didn’t doubt Martin’s words at all. With the Dahua’s strength, as long as they said a few words, this movie would run into countless troubles if it wanted to be released.
For the sake of a guest character, he did not want to go against Dahua.
“Alright, I’ll use Arya!”
“We know that you have already signed a contract with Maria. Don’t worry, the Dahua will be responsible for the breach of the contract.”
Martin put down an empty cheque after he finished speaking, “I have come to look for you today. I hope you’ll keep your mouth shut. Our CEO and Arya’s relationship will be kept secret.”
“They…” Director Clerk was not a gossiper, but when he thought Arya might be Allen’s woman, he could not help but ask for proof.
One was movie queen in the entertainment circle, and the other was the emperor of the acting kingdom. If these two were a pair, it would be too shocking and enviable.
“That’s what you think.”
Martin gave him the answer and left the crew.
Director Clerk sat on a chair and heaved a sigh of relief. Who would have thought that Allen was supporting Arya?
“President, it’s done.” Martin called Allen to report.
“You know what to do when you encounter such a problem in the future?”
“Get rid of all the obstacles for her without her knowing.” Martin answered.
Allen nodded in satisfaction. His cold face was reflected in the night.
Since they wanted to play, he would play with them thoroughly. He was afraid that they would not be able to afford to lose.
…
Director Clerk calmed down a little and immediately informed the entire crew. The last guest role was decided to be played by Arya. He also informed Justin at the first possible moment.
Justin originally did not have much hope because Director Clerk’s eyes during the day were really disdainful. It was hard for him to change his mind.
Furthermore, Maria was no longer the intern manager.
During the years when she spent in the entertainment circle, she learned to threaten others more.
What was the reason Director Clerk suddenly change his mind?
Justin temporarily put this problem aside. He wanted Arya to sign a contract with the crew first and then he would consider what would happen next. The moment he walked out of the office, he was stopped by Maria.
“So busy? I still want to have a coffee with you!” She sighed and pretended to be regretful, “I didn’t know you were interested in that role, otherwise I would have given it to you.”
“However, even if you got that role, there wouldn’t be any artist acting, right? Why would you do that?”
In Maria’s opinion, Justin was definitely trying take revenge on her. So no matter what resources she wanted, he would fight for them.
Justin did not look at her, but said in a deep voice, “Get out of the way.”
“Why fight with me? Director Carter is already preparing for your return ceremony. I think you should relax and retire in the company. Don’t think about promoting new people.”
“If I were you, I wouldn’t have come back at all!” novelbin
Justin sneered, “I don’t need it. Director Clerk has already decided to sign the artist I brought.”
“No way. Stop joking. We have already signed the contract.”
“Don’t you know you can break the contract?”
Maria’s sneer became stronger and she left arrogantly.
She felt Justin was no longer a threat to her. In the past, she had been living in fear. After all, she had used some terrible methods to reach her current position.
But so what? She could already take charge of everything. Justin was no match for her at all.
Just as she was feeling proud, her secretary ran into her office in hurry.
“Sister Maria, Director Clerk said that the role has been changed. He even transferred the double penalty to the company’s account.”
“What?” Maria immediately stood up. “Who cares about his breach of contract? Did he say whom he is going to give this role?”
“No.”
Maria angrily slammed the table. He had already said, but suddenly there was a change.
Could it really be because of Justin?
She could not believe that this matter had happened just like that. Director Clerk did not care about their many years of relationship, nor did he care that he would offend Aorai. He actually broke the contract directly.
Justin, you are ruthless enough!
But she did not expect that there was an even greater surprise waiting for her at the back.
…
Orchid Court Villa.
Arya smiled and hung up Justin’s phone. She turned around and threw herself into Allen’s arms.
“Allen, the role in Director Clerk’s play is mine.” Arya was relieved when she heard the news.
“Then I have to congratulate you. Mrs. Jones.”
Allen smiled and carried her to the bedroom.
After a round of intimacy, Arya leaned against his chest. “But I always feel that this is not true. It is like a bubble in the sea and cannot be caught.”
“Don’t let your imagination run wild. Rest early. Tomorrow is the day you sign the contract with Aorai.” Allen kissed her at the side of her face.
“When I sign a contract with Aorai, will I be closer to you?” Arya looked up and asked with a smile.
“Of course.”
Allen looked at her lovingly.
Arya lowered her eyes and thought about the matter in her heart. When they left, Director Clerk was still so hesitant. How could he suddenly change his mind?
Unless someone was pressing him and had enough strength of Maria to make of the Aorai speechless.
Then the identity of the person was easy to guess.
However, since Allen did not want her to know, she told herself that she had to truth him wholeheartedly.
It was impossible of her to be calculative with someone who cared about her and loved her.
Chapter 172
It was later at night and heavy rain. After Walter received Maria’s call, he quickly rushed to the agreed hotel.
They often meet here.
It was just that, this time he came very unwillingly.
“Stop drinking!” Walter grabbed the wine glass and sighed helplessly. In one breath, he drank all the wine in the glass.
“Why not? My career, my life is about to be ruined. What else can I do besides drinking?” Maria asked, then grabbed Walter’s tie as she drank.
Her voice was unusually languid, “Don’t you miss the past at all? Now Justin is back, our good have come to an end!”
“Wake up!” Walter pulled her hand away.
“Do you still want to pretend?” Maria asked. “Don’t you understand why Director Carter prepared such a grand welcome ceremony for Justin tomorrow? The Artist Director’s position had been vacant for five years. She had been waiting for Justin to return. You and I are just clowns who are not worth mentioning!”
Walter took half step back and picked up Maria’s bag from the bed. “You are drunk. I will send you back.”
“Go back? I won’t! Walter, you should wake up now. When Justin becomes an Artist Director, will the Aorai still have a place for us? Melinda trusted him the most.” Maria laid on the bed with a mocking
smile on her face.
But although she was wrong, what she said was right. novelbin
After so many years, the shadow of that accident had never disappeared.
“It was us who exposed his relationship with Rachel that cause such a tragedy… It was us who spilt his resources equally. Do you think he will let us go when he comes back?”
“So, you asked me to…”
“We have to do it first!” Maria smiled and said, “I have already though it through. As long as we work together and discuss with Director Carter, she will definitely weigh the pros and cons. If she is really determined to protect Justin, then I will take my artist and leave.”
“How long have you been planning?”
Walter calmed down and looked coldly at the woman in front of him.
Justin suddenly came back. It did not take long, but Maria dared to say these words to him tonight. It meant that she had already taken action. Even if it was not for Justin, she would have betrayed Melinda sooner or later.
“You don’t need to care about that. I just want to ask you something. Do you want to cooperate with me or stay in Aorai and be slowly tortured to death by Justin?”
They had accumulated a lot of resources in the Aorai over the past few years. If all the artists were taken away, the strength of the Aorai would be greatly reduced. It was impossible for Melinda not to consider it. Moreover, Justin did not have any artists under him.
Judging from this, their chances of winning were very high.
Maria saw that he was silent and sneered, “Tomorrow morning, before the welcome ceremony, let’s go and talk to Director Carter. What do you think?”
Her hand was on Walter’s neck, displaying her womanly charm to her heart’s content.
“Walter…”
Their plan seemed flawless, but who told them that Justin did not have any artist under him?
Maria wanted to stand out, but she chose the path, she should not have taken.
The next morning, they walked to Aorai’s main door together and went straight to Melinda’s office.
Melinda saw them appear together and felt a little strange. She put down the document in her hand and looked at them. “Is something the matter?”
“Director Carter, I’m here to resign.” Maria smiled and placed the resignation letter on the table.
At the same time, Walter also suggested, “Me too.”
Melinda’s face darkened and she paused for a few seconds, “What are you guys doing?”
“Director Carter, we know you value Justin. You spent a lot of effort to invite him back, but… the things that happened to us in the past, he still misunderstood us until now. If he officially enters the company, the three of us will be very embarrassed, so we are willing to leave.”
Melinda looked at them in disbelief and paused for a long time before saying. “You guys are threatening me?”
“It’s not a threat. Director Carter, we have followed you for so many years and we do not want anything. We only hope that the company is getting better, but if Justin comes back…” Maria said halfway and revealed a faint smile.
“Walter, this is also what you think. You also want to go against Justin?” Melinda was clearly a little disappointed.
Walter’s eyes darkened a little. He nodded.
Maria became even more proud of herself. “Yesterday, I fought for the role of Director Clerk’s movie for Clara, but Justin got in the way and stole the role. I don’t know what expectation the company has for him, but if all the colleagues in the company want to compete with each other like this, I really can’t stay here. I don’t want the artists in my hand to have such an awkward life.”
“I sincerely congratulate him on returning to Aorai but I chose to leave with my artists.”
Melinda coldly raised her eyes and looked at Maria.
She just said her artist?
It was extremely ridiculous. When did the artist of Aorai become her?
Melinda was already on verge of losing her temper, but due to the welcoming ceremony in the afternoon, she did not throw the two resignation letter on their faces.
The atmosphere was very depressing.
“Alright, I know what you mean. Let’s go back first. I will give you a satisfactory answer.”
Melinda ordered them to leave. Maria and Walter looked at each other and walked out of the office together.
“I am right. The artists in our hands are enough for Melinda to consider whether it is worth it for Justin to go back to Aorai.”
Maria became even more arrogant. “Just wait. The welcome ceremony in the afternoon is about to turn into a dismissal ceremony.”
Walter recalled Melinda’s expression and felt something was not right.
Melinda did not agree or disagree. Would she really be trifled with by their threats and give up on Justin?
In the office, Melinda sneered. It was because she was too kind that these people were so arrogant and wanted to take all the artists of Aorai away.
On the other side, Arya had already prepared for the welcoming ceremony in the afternoon.
She was wearing a long dress that was personally sewn by the famous Italian designer Owen. The golden-pink dress was as graceful as the tail of a fish. The hook design on her collarbone made her skin appear even whiter. Her long hair was loose and only made a simple curly hair. Coupled with the think makeup on her red lips, there was a unique charm to it.
But unlike the gentle and quiet in the past, she was more like a queen today.
Her beauty was natural.it was like a whirlpool of gravity that made people involuntarily fall for her.
Allen reached out and hugged her slim waist, reluctantly letting out a kiss on her ear. “Come back early.”
Arya blinked and deliberately asked, “Do you prefer me to dress like this?”
“I love everything about you.” Her sincerely praised and personally escorted her to the car.
Chapter 173
Arya rolled down the window. “I’ll call you as soon as I’m done.”
Allen looked at her dotingly. “Okay, I’ll wait for you.”
They did not need any extra words between them. One look was enough to read each other’s heart.
Arya turned back and watched Allen’s figure disappear. Only then did she slowly think about welcoming ceremony.
There was still an hour before the ceremony began.
Arya followed Melinda’s instructions and waited in the secret waiting room.
Everything was ready. Melinda told Justin about the two of them handing their resignation letters and felt it was ridiculous.
The two of them relied on betrayal and scheming to survive in the entertainment circle until today but still did not make any progress. The Aorai made them what they were today but they were not grateful.
The desire for fame and fortune had completely devoured them.
“Welcome back!”
When the old Aorai staff saw Justin, they greeted him warmly. “We’ve been waiting for you!”
Justin nodded with a smile and walked into the elevator.
Coincidentally, Maria walked in with Clara. The atmosphere was a little awkward.
“I’m really looking forward to the welcome ceremony. Director Palmer, you’re not leaving this time, are you?”
In the past, Justin was the Artist Director of Aorai Entertainment. Now that the position was still vacant, the old employees still call him that.
Justin looked at Maria, who was standing in front of him. Her back was proud and there was only malice in her eyes.
“Yes, I’m not leaving.”
Maria heard his snorted in disdain. She walked out of the elevator and waited for Justin.
Justin also walked out.
“Save your energy. When you left the Aorai, the Aorai didn’t have its current scale. We were the one who accompanied Director Carter until today.”
“Don’t tell me you can just sit back and enjoy the fruit of our labor?”
“I never thought about it that way. Don’t put your thoughts on people.” Justin replied coldly.
“Is that so? Wait and see!” Maria glanced at him and revealed a meaningful smile. novelbin
Justin knew what she was thinking. He looked at her indifferently. “I have waited for five years. I do not care about this short period of time. It should be mine. I will not compromise.”
“The Aorai has developed to this day. It is not because the two of you. Without you, the Aorai will be even better.”
If it was before today, Maria would still be worried about these words. But in the morning, she and Walter had already threatened Melinda. Which one was more important? It was impossible for Melinda
not to understand that the person who would be eliminated would only be Justin!
Thinking like this, Maria was even more confident.
She lifted her chin arrogantly. “I think you’re the one who’s dreaming!”
“Since you chose to leave, why did you come back?”
“The internal department of Aorai has already changed a lot. Director Carter only has some old feelings for you. If I were you, I would leave as soon as possible. This way, it will benefit everyone.”
Maria left with Clara, leaving Justin in the same place.
Justin heard the success and contempt in her words clearly. His handsome face revealed a helpless smile.
“Five years of time has made you all become even more ignorant.”
As time approached, Luna kept looking at the time. She was even more nervous than Arya.
“There are still 20 minutes left. Luna, sit for a while.” Arya said softly.
“What do you think Maria is thinking? Every time she wanted to frame us and stop us. In the end, she actually used the Aorai’s artiste to threaten Director Carter!” Luna felt that it was inconceivable.
“For the sake of desire, are there not enough people in the entertainment circle who keep fighting over people?” Arya slowly replied.
“The higher you climb, the more miserable you fall. I really look forward to her expression after a while!”
Luna rubbed her hands and poured another cup of hot water for Arya. “She is so arrogant and believes that Director Carter will be threatened by her. But in another 20 minutes or so, she will wake up from
her dream!”
When she thought that Maria would fall from the clouds to hell, she felt very excited.
Everything was Maria’s own fault.
“Melinda will not tolerate her anymore.” Arya covered the coldness in her eyes and her voice was a bit cold.
…
At three o’ clock in the afternoon, the welcome ceremony officially began.
There was already news that the once gold medal manager of Aorai, Justin, had returned from abroad. The relationship between him and the artist Rachel had been dug out by the paparazzi. The original venue of the internal welcome ceremony was packed with reporters.
“Do you know why?”
“I don’t know, but this Justin has a lot of influence overseas. Back then, he went overseas due to an emotional injury. Now that he’s back, the Aorai must have spent a lot of money to invite him back!”
“Then which artist does he want to take over the Aorai?”
“Maria and Walter from the Aorai are very powerful. They shouldn’t be the artistes in their hands. It’s hard to guess.”
The reporters exchanged guesses.
Maria stopped Walter at the entrance. “Since Director Carter has decided not to use Justin, why should we continue this welcome ceremony?”
She felt very uneasy.
Walter was very calm. “The news has already been released. If we suddenly cancel, it will attract the reporters’ suspicion. We will probably use other news to file it.”
When Maria said this, Maria felt much more at ease.
“I want to see him lose everything again!”
Walter turned around with a smile and went to the other side to wait for Melinda. After that, Walter accompanied Melinda into the arena while Maria sat under the stage to coordinate the work.
In the middle of the seats on the stage was Melinda, on the left was Walter, and on the right was the senior manager of Aorai.
Melinda looked at her watch, smiled at the audience, and then picked up the microphone.
“Everyone, please be quiet. Our welcoming ceremony will begin soon.”
“First of all, I have to thank everyone for coming. What I am about to announce is very important to the future of Aorai. It is my honor to share this joy with everyone.”
“The Aorai has been developing for many years, and it has already reached the level of expending its business. The three subsidiary companies will officially open at the end of the month. Currently, they are recruiting soldiers and horses. I hope that we can advertise here and deliberately join the Aorai. The salary and treatment will definitely satisfy you.”
Hearing Melinda say so, Maria’s worried heart fell to the ground.
It seemed that she was not going to mention Justin. In the crowd, she raised her head and exchanged a look with Walter.
Their plan had succeeded!
However, Melinda saw her expression.
When everyone thought that this was today’s theme, she opened her mouth again and gave Maria a fatal blow.
“Most importantly, I invite an old friend back today. He used to be the Artist Director of Aorai and will also take on the role of Aorai’s Artist Director in the future. He is Justin, everyone please give a round applause and welcome him.”
Melinda took the initiative to stand up and looked in the direction of the door.
Everyone turned around to look. Justin was dressed in a silver white suit. He was elegant and had a temperament. He slowly walked onto the stage and stood beside Melinda.
At this time, Maria and Walter were both stunned. Their hearts were incomparably flustered.
Melinda was not threatened by them.
She even used her actions to give them a burning slap.
Impossible!
Could it be that Melinda was not worried at all that they would poach the Aorai’s artistes?
Chapter 174
Maria stared at Justin unwillingly, but her trembling shoulders had already betrayed her.
Melinda noticed Maria’s reaction. It was funny. She handed the microphone to Justin. “The rest is up to you.”
Justin picked up the microphone and looked at everyone below the stage. He said solemnly, “Thank you very much to Director Carter for giving me such an important position. This time I returned to Aorai and brought a heavyweight artist…”
He reached out his hand and pointed at the direction of the entrance.
“She will be the first artist, I brought to Aorai.”
Following his words, a pretty figure appeared. She was dressed like a queen and carried a unique temperament. She raised her chin and swept across the crowd.
“Arya!”
“They actually signed Arya to the Aorai!”
The reporters frantically took pictures. Today’s so-called internal welcoming ceremony actually had such a fierce news!
Those reporters who did not come were probably going to cry and faint in the office.
The previous incident that Naomi framed caused a huge commotion. Arya kept avoiding it and did not talk about it. It was as if she had disappeared.
Today, when she appeared in Aorai, she actually wanted to sign a contract with Aorai!
“She was once a movie star with a grand slam. She just came back and got Golden Spear’s best contribution award. I believe that with her joining, the Aorai’s future will be even better!” Justin said excitedly, igniting the atmosphere at the scene.
“I will also shoulder the responsibly of being an agent and fight for a better and more exciting script for Arya. Everyone, please wait and see!”
After Justin finished speaking, his gaze paused on Maria and Walter. It was very iconic…
He did not miss the anger and shock in their eyes.
Melinda was not threatened by them and even signed Arya!
Once Justin was not enough, even Arya entered the Aorai. Will there be any good days for them in the future?
Melinda was playing with them!
What they did not expect that the real highlight was still waiting for them.
When Arya left the Brilliant back then, the outside world had guessed that she would enter the Sunsand and KB, but during the short period of time when she disappeared, she did not come out to explain any rumors. Instead, she chose to remain.
It turned out the she had already found Aorai as her new boss.
Looking at the standard of artists contracted by Aorai, Arya’s future was bright.
Furthermore, Melinda had specially invited Justin to be her manager.
Was it fate or was it deliberately arranged?
It had to be said that Melinda played a good game of chess, bringing her former gold medal manger together with movie queen. It seemed that Aorai was going to make a big move in future development.
When Arya slowly walked towards the main stage, Maria’s jealous gaze did not move away from her.
She tried her best to stop Arya from entering Aorai but failed. Now, she could only watch Arya’s dazzling appearance in front of the media. She became Justin’s artist under everyone’s witness.
Was God joking with her?
She had been defeated by Arya so many times, and she still could not stop Arya from entering Aorai.
Maria only felt angry, annoyed and even humiliated.
Under so many flashlights and cameras, Arya appeared exceptionally elegant and generous. Every step she took was very steady. She smiled and looked into Melinda’s eyes. Then, she turned around and faced the media below the stage and bowed deeply.
“Hello everyone, I’m Arya.”
Ever since the scandal of cheating with Daniel, she had been deliberately tarnished by others, but she still did not give up. She went through all kinds of obstacles and not only became the shining star of the international reality show but she also got the only endorsement from the Asia region of LKU. Her low profile became the most advantageous weapon.
No media dared to continue discrediting her because the facts proved that Arya’s character and strength were not allowed to be tarnished. After a moment of silence, she would retaliate fiercely.
She was the most admirable person in the entertainment industry.
“Arya, how are you feeling now?”
“Arya, say a few words!”
“Welcome back…”
Today, Aorai’s welcome ceremony was not only for Justin, but also for Arya. novelbin
Justin handed the microphone over at the right time. Arya looked at the reporters with a smile, “I believe that the Aorai will achieve better things for me.”
“The Aorai has a few international female movie stars. Will you compete with them and fight for the position of the first female star of the Aorai? For example, Kiara and Violet!”
Hearing Kiara’s name, Maria regained some of her confidence. Kiara had entered the industry for more than ten years and was the most powerful female star in her hands. She had just won the Hollywood award nomination last year and almost won the award. Her influence in the country had always been very high. With her around, Maria naturally had the confidence.
Kiara still had three major production movies online this year. Adding on her extraordinary acting skills, it was not something a small movie star like Arya could compare to.
Arya had seen Kiara before and knew her relationship with Maria. On stage, she looked at Maria without a trace and paused for a moment before saying. “I want to slowly enrich myself in the road of acting. As for the rest, it is not within my consideration.”
What she meant was that she only wanted to work hard and not use her reputation to gain popularity for herself.
“Arya, I heard that you wanted to become an artist of the Aorai Star Project and even submitted your resume. However, the Aorai rejected you with the excuse of a scandal, but you became a contracted artist of the Aorai today. What method did you use to change the decision of the Aorai?”
Everyone said that people could change their fate, but this matter did not seem right!
The reporters raised their microphones one after another, wanting to hear the answer from Arya.
What kind of inside story was there?
Arya’s expression was very calm. She raised her eyes to look around the stage and then stedily landed on one of them. That person was Maria.
At the same time, Melinda and Walter also looked in that direction.
Maria’s heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly took half a step back. Who could tell her what was going on?
The reporters urged, “Arya, tell us!”
Just as the reporters kept asking, Melinda took the initiative to pick up the microphone and answered this extremely sharp question.
“There are some things that Arya is not suitable to explain to everyone with her position. Instead of answering this question, why don’t I announce something else to everyone?”
She took out the resignation letter that Maria had placed in her office early in the morning to demonstrate her resignation. The corner of her mouth rose slightly as she raised the resignation letter.
She faced the camera and said, “Everyone knows that I have a well-known manager in the industry, Maria. Due to some personal reasons, she decided to leave the Aorai and submitted her resignation
letter to me today.”
“Here, I thank her for all the hard work she has done for the company. I also wish that everything will go smoothly for her in the future.”
“This resignation letter is approved by me.”
Announcing this matter in front of everyone, does it mean that she and Maria will draw a clear line between themselves and the outside world?
Chapter 175
Maria felt a pair of invisible hands around her neck, making her unable to breathe.
The chips she used to threaten Melinda instead made her have nowhere to go. Melinda said this in public, not leaving her any way.
Melinda kicked her out of the Aorai!
She just wanted Melinda to give up on Justin. She did not expect that the one who ate the bitter fruit in the end was herself. Melinda was really ruthless, as if she had stabbed a knife into her heart.
However…
She and Walter handed the resignation letter together. Why did it only say that she was alone? They had left Walter behind!
“Maria, you should also say a few words.” Melinda said with a smile.
Although Maria was very angry, there were so many cameras aimed at her that she could not refuse. Otherwise, it would be no good for her to openly oppose Melinda.
Things had not reached the last step and she could not easily admit defeat.
“Thank you Director Carter.”
Maria’s eyes were filled with sparkling tears as if she was very reluctant to part with it. “Since I entered the industry, I have been working in the Aorai. Today, I decided to leave… I just want to fulfill some of my dreams. Thank you for Director Carter’s care and fulfillment. I also sincerely hope that the Aorai can develop better.”
“Have you already found a new company to change jobs?”
“This resignation letter represents you personally? Or represents all the artists under you?”
It was not uncommon for an agent to take away an artist after leaving the original company. With Justin and Arya joining the Aorai, the Aorai was originally like a tiger with wings, but if Maria left… it might affect the strength of the company.
Under such circumstances, Maria could not say anything!
If she said it, it was equivalent to sealing off her own path.
“There are too many questions. I can’t answer them one by one. Sorry.” Maria reluctantly gave everyone an answer and casually said some words before lowering her head and going off the stage.
Her meticulous plan was ruined and Melinda was not affected at all. She even signed Arya.
She was really stupid.
Arya watched Maria leave and did not show any emotions, but she was very clear. Maria must be in pain now. That feeling of falling into hell in an instant should be very uncomfortable.
Very quickly, the ceremony came to an end.
After the reporters left, Arya also said a few words to Melinda and left with Justin.
She did not expect Maria to be waiting for her in the parking lot.
“Arya, wait!”
Arya stopped and did not open the car door. She looked at Maria’s red eyes and did not know if it was because of anger or shame.
“You did it. Right?”
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about.” Arya slightly frowned. She knew that Maria’s current mood must be very broken. But she did not have the time to argue with Maria.
Furthermore, Maria had already been chased out of Aorai.
Maria’s emotions were on the verge of breaking down. She did not give up and smiled. “I did not want Justin to return to the Aorai, so I used my resignation letter to threaten Melinda, but she actually did this to me.”
“She even signed you! You must have done something behind my back to make Melinda give up on me.”
Arya’s expression was calm as she coldly asked her back. “Do you think I have the ability to shake Melinda? It was you who did not cherish the opportunity and walked to this step.”
“I did not!” Maria shouted at the top of her lungs.
“Melinda is the president of the Aorai. Because of her rationality and wrists, the Aorai can only grow stronger step by step. You are just an employee under her. But you put your position too high… If you don’t provoke her, why would you be forced to leave the Aorai?”
“You are wrong because you underestimated Melinda’s courage.”
“The Aorai has never lacked you.”
Hearing these words, Maria was in complete chaos.
Her heart was in chaos. She gave Arya a fierce glare before turning around and running back to Aorai.
Justin sighed at the side. He saw Maria walk step by step from an intern of the Aorai to today’s position, but he did not expect that she would become so ruthless and vicious.
“It’s useless for her to go back and look for Director Carter.” Justin shook his head. Melinda would never give anyone a second chance.
Arya was not interested in this matter. She opened the door and got into the car. “Let’s go. I’m in a hurry.”
“Are you in such a hurry to go back and meet your lover?”
Justin felt Arya’s cold gaze as soon as he spoke. He immediately turned his gaze away. “I just feel that Melinda has approved Maria’s resignation but did not touch Walter. We cannot relax now.”
“She did not touch Walter because she wanted to keep you in check. It has nothing to do with me.”
“You… Even if she wants to keep me in check, you are my artiste. How can it have nothing to do with you?”
Justin saw Arya’s expression was normal. He was very curious why she did not react at all.
Of course, he did not know that Allen would help Arya check everything. Arya trusted Allen’s judgment the most.
“I’m a contracted artist of Aorai. If I develop well, the company will earn more. Melinda is not a person with shallow knowledge.”
“I guess Maria will still go and establish her own team in the end. Although it is very difficult, if Naomi is roped in by her, the situation will not be good.” Justin said coldly. Putting Naomi’s time bomb on the table made people feel uncomfortable.
“They might not be able to get together.” Arya was very calm and was not affected by this matter.
From Caroline to Naomi, they were jealous of Arya and harmed her. In the end, they ate the bitter fruits of their own suffering. Moreover, step by step, they pushed Arya to her current position- becoming an artist of Aorai.
So, she did not panic at all. The stronger the enemy, the stronger she was!
“You really exceeded my expectations.” Justin did not say anything else and started the car.
After sending Arya to the door, he said, “We are going to film in two days. Get ready.”
This shooting could determine the quality of the script Arya got from July to December this year. The importance of it was self-evident. Arya nodded, “I understand.”
In two days, she could have a good rest with Allen.
In her life, other than work, he was the only one. Only when she thought of Allen would Arya’s face show a little tenderness.
Justin was really curious about what kind of man could make Arya so moved. Furthermore, Arya had been hiding that man everywhere. Could it be…
But very soon, he could see the true face of that man.
…
Melinda had just settled the matters downstairs when she returned to the office and saw Maria.
She cried until her eyes were red. “Director Carter, forgive me this time. I was bewitched. I really know I was wrong!”
Melinda took half a step back to maintain her distance.
“You wrote the resignation letter yourself. I just wanted to fulfill your wish.” Melinda’s attitude was very firm.
What she said out loud. She would not go back on her words.
Maria tugged at her madly, “I’m just jealous of Justin. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this. The Aorai has all my youth. How can I bear to leave?”
Chapter 176
“Director Carter, I beg you, don’t be so cruel!”
“Me?” Melinda looked at her with a cold smile. No matter how sadly she was crying, in Melinda’s eyes, she was just putting on an act.
“Director Carter, I just can’t figure out. I never thought that I would really leave!” Maria lowered her posture in front of Melinda and kept begging.
“It’s too late. Otherwise, you can explain to the media yourself why there is a letter of resignation written personally by you on my desk!”
“You brought this upon yourself. You can’t blame anyone.”
“I really don’t dare. I admit defeat. Give me another chance!”
Melinda did not want to hear her continue. Her eyes were full of alienation. “Ever since Justin left, how many thoughts have you and Walter had under my eyes? I have given you countless chances, but what did you do?”
“Threating me with resignation! Defaming Arya and stopping her from enter Aorai.”
“You lied to me several times! You are just a manager of Aorai. If I use you, you’ll be able to maintain your current position. If I don’t need you, you are nothing!”
“How much effort did you put in to stop Arya? What happen in the end? She became an artist of Aorai.”
“Maria, you’ll go in our separate ways in the future. But I will put my words here today. In this entertainment circle, I will not have you!”
Maria trembled and lowered her head. Melinda had never said such harsh words to her before.
She was humiliated but did not have any rebuttal.
She was the one who lost!
Maria could only leave dejectedly. In front of Melinda, she could no longer raise her head. Walking along the stairs with lifeless eyes, she saw Walter waiting for her at the corner.
“What? Are you here to see me make a fool of myself?”
Maria’s eyes were cold. She could not understand why Melinda was so cruel to her but Walter was fine.
“Do you think my situation is better than yours?” Walter clenched his fists. “She kept me to keep Justin. Don’t worry, I will find a way to help you to take revenge.”
Walter could not just sit here and wait for death. Otherwise, what awaited him would be the same result.
Hope reignited in Maria’s eyes.
Seeing Walter leave, she suddenly thought of another person.
Naomi!
…
Justin had officially decided with the cast and crew of “Legend of the Mountain” that Arya would be joining the team. He also had other tasks arrange for her.
“Because she is a guest character, it is estimated that it will only take five days to film the final dubbing. Go back and have a good rest. I will come to pick you up the day after tomorrow.”
“Understood.” Arya had always been serious when it comes to work.
However, she paused for a moment and said, “Let’s meet directly at the production team. It was filmed at Hisith Film and Television Base, right?”
“You…” Justin knew what she was thinking. He frowned in disagreement. “If you want to bring someone with you, how can you explain it if you are filmed by the reporters?”
“You have to be responsible for your work!”
“I promise that it will not affect my work.” Arya was very sure about this.
Justin looked at her with confusion. “You can’t leave him?”
“Yes.” Arya replied with a faint smile.
She did not want to show too much of her love life. But as long as there was a chance, they would always be by each other’s side.
The atmosphere was too quite. In the end, Justin compromised, “Okay, let’s meet on set. But listen carefully to me. No matter how deeply you love each other now, in this circle, there is no pure feelings. We can only use each other and deceive each other. Don’t wait until something hard turn back happens and you regret it.”
His words were from the bottom of his heart.
Arya nodded, “Thank you.”
Because Justin did not know Allen’s identity, he was worried that Arya would be deceived.
Listening this Luna pouted.
Allen was a prince charming in the entertainment circle. His position was very noble. She began to look forward to the day when their relationship between husband and wife was made public. Would it scare these people?
Justin’s expression was complicated and he wanted to say something. But when he saw, Arya had already gotten out of the car, he could only give up. novelbin
“Don’t worry. As long as you do your manager’s job well, I won’t have any scandals for you to worry about. As for my lover, he is a man who will definitely get full marks.”
Arya knew that, when she worked she had to trust him. There were some things she would not say too carefully, but she hoped that Justin would know what she needed. She needed an all-rounder manager. As for her private life, she did not want to be disturbed.
Because the Aorai had fired Maria, there were many things that needed his help to deal with.
Seeing Justin leave, Luna shook her head, “When do you plan to tell him?”
If she kept talking like this, Luna felt that she would be stifled to death one day.
“When I trust him enough.” Arya calmly replied.
Luna sent her to the villa and saw that Allen had already prepared a romantic dinner for Arya to celebrate her signing with the Aorai. She could not help but feel envious.
“If the outside world knew that the high and mighty Director Jones doted on you so much, they would definitely be envious to death.”
In this world, all his gentleness would only be shown to Arya alone.
Arya gave a sweet smile, “You didn’t eat either. Let’s celebrate together.”
Luna was about to say something when she saw Allen’s meaningful gaze. She quickly changed the words at the tip of her tongue. “I also have an appointment. I can’t stay and be your light bulb. Have a good rest for two days. See you on set.”
After Luna finished speaking, she gave Arya a secret smile.
They were still newlyweds. Of course they had to enjoy their sweet time.
Arya sent Luna out and thought about it when she turned back. “Why do I feel that Luna’s smile just now was very…”
“Luna is a smart person.” Allen smiled and went forward to hug Arya. “Mrs. Jones, please have dinner.”
The delicate and attentive dishes, plus the handsome husband sitting in front of the candle light, along with the mellow red wine…
Arya’s face showed a slightly tipsy expression. “I really feel that my life is very happy and it will become more and more blissful. All of this is because of you.”
“This is a small gift.”
Allen took out an exquisite small gift box. Inside was a platinum bracelet. On the inside were written the words A&A which were the abbreviations of their names.
“You can’t wear a ring publicly now, but I want to tell you this way that no matter what happens, I will stay by your side.”
He took off his watch. The same letters were engraved on the inside.
Arya was moved and reached out her hand. Her voice was trembling slightly, “Help me put it on.”
What moved her the most was not how much this man spent for her, but he wanted to take care of her. He could use money to use his power to settle matters at works, but only true love could warm Arya’s heart.
“Congratulations on successfully signing the contract.”
“Thank you.”
Arya leaned against his chest and clinked glasses with red wine.
She did not need to prove her happiness to anyone. As long as she knew that they were treating each other wholeheartedly, it was enough.
Closing the door, they belonged to each other.
As for Justin’s suspicion, Arya did not take it to heart at all. When they met, he would know that Arya’s mysterious lover did not need her to support him at all.
Chapter 177
After Maria was chased away by Melinda, she had nowhere to go.
She wanted to contact Naomi, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not make a call. She had forgotten one of the most important things. No matter what happened, Naomi was still an artist under Sunsand.
The Sunsand had already punished Naomi and prohibited her from attending any business events.
In addition to Naomi’s manager being investigated by the Sunsand, it was like searching for a needle in a haystack to find Naomi.
Unless Naomi took the initiative to contact her.
That night, Maria finally received Naomi’s phone call. She picked it up very anxiously, “Where are you? Let’s meet up!”
But Naomi’s side was very quiet. Naomi’s disdainful voice came from the phone.
“See you?” Naomi asked. “You have already been kicked out of the Aorai. You can’t fulfill any of my requests. There is no need for us to meet again.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Maria was furious.
“No, as long as you meet me, I promise I can help you drag Arya into the water.”
She hated those people to the extreme. Even if they fell into hell together, she could not watch Arya get better and better.novelbin
“Alright then, come find me. I will give you the address.”
A minute later, a message appeared on Maria’s phone. The address was at the Crown Bar.
Naomi was not even 18 years old yet. Why would she go to that kind of place?
In this circle, it was inevitable that she could not avoid eating and socializing. Thinking like this, Maria made the best use of her time to rush over.
The music was deafening. The moment she entered, she saw a group of young people shaking their heads and dancing. Other than the smell of alcohol, it was also the smell of smoke…
“Naomi, where are you?”
Maria called her again.
The person who answered was a man with a hoarse voice, “Room 8”. She hung up after saying that.
Maria felt that something was not right, but since she had already come, she had to go and take a look. Right now, only Naomi could help her solve the troublesome situation in front of her.
“You guys…” The moment she entered, she was surrounded by a few men.
The man in the middle was the person who had just answered the phone. He had a crew cut and his left arm was tattooed. Beside him, Naomi was so drunk that she was unconscious.
“This woman borrowed a million from me. Take her away and return the money within three days.”
The man blew a smoke ring and said.
Maria went forward to push Naomi but she did not react.
A few hooligans beside her smiled and said, “She has smoked so much and she has fainted a long time ago.”
“If it was not because boss did not like her, it would be good for us to let her play. This girl is much more powerful than the big star Arya on TV.”
These filthy words made Maria sigh.
Although she was utilitarian, seeing Naomi at such a young age mingling with these people, she felt somewhat uncomfortable.
But when she just woke Naomi us, the later laughed at said, “Yo, you really came to find me. It’s no use. I already…”
She turned her head to the other side and pointed at the man with the crew cut. “I’m already with him!”
Seeing that she was completely unconscious, Maria was helpless.
“Come with me, stop messing around.”
“Where are you going? My life has been ruined by that woman!” Naomi did not know where she got the strength to push Maria away and run out.
She only heard the screams of many people outside.
Under the dim light, Naomi wore a cap and danced on the stage with her hair disheveled.
It was obvious that she had taken drugs.
When Maria chased after her, Naomi was nowhere to be found. In the crowd, Naomi was nowhere to be seen. There were people discussing among the crowd. “Was that Arya just now?”
“I think so. The side of that face looks very similar!”
Maria suddenly remembered something. She put on her sunglasses and said to those people. “I am Arya’s manager. She just came out to relax. I hope you do not reveal this to the media.”
After saying that, she left in a hurry.
There is no wall in this world that does not allow wind to leak. She believed that news would soon be released.
Maria sat in the car, still in shock.
Naomi was wearing a hat and the lights were dim. In addition, she was very similar to Arya. It was very likely that she would be mistaken by others. It just so happened that it could create some trouble for Arya and help her out.
As for how Naomi was like, she did not care at all.
Maria thought about it and dialed Director Clark’s number. “I have the latest news here. It’s about Arya. I want to talk to you face to face.”
The news that the Aorai fired Maria had already spread. Director Clark originally wanted to shirk, but when he heard that it was related to Arya, he still agreed to meet her.
Just when Maria went to Director Clark’s house, there was the latest hot news on the Internet.
“Arya is in a bar late at night, suspected to be on drugs.”
There were also many photos uploaded by passers-by. Although they were not clear, with the rich content, it was easy to guide the readers.
Maria excitedly walked in front of Director Clark, “You see, Arya is in trouble again. She is such a tarnished female star, do you still want to use her?”
Director Clark sighed and took the phone to take a look.
“Why do you always have to go against Arya? Although I have only seen Arya twice, I can confirm that the person in this photo in not her. Let me give you a word of advice. Don’t go against Arya anymore. It won’t do you any good.”
“I am only telling the truth!” Maria did not expect Director Clark to say such words.
“Arya has a huge background. The other party is someone you cannot imagine. If you still want to stay in the entertainment circle, you better give up the idea of taking revenge on Arya. Otherwise, no one will be able to save you.”
“If she has a background, would she be dragged by Brilliant for three years?”
“That is her problem. I am just advising you not to go too far.” Director Clark waved his hand and said coldly, “You have already been kicked out of the Aorai. Think about your future path. If you keep going on like this, you won’t even know how you will die!”
Maria knew that the people in the entertainment circle did not want to see the good side of others. She was at a disadvantage now. Of course, Director Clark would not treat her well, but there few words hurt her heart.
“I know the situation in your family. You should calm down and think about how to gain a firm foothold. Don’t make things difficult for Arya anymore.”
“There is no need for you to say it!”
Maria was extremely angry and immediately stood up. “I see that you are afraid of Arya. I don’t care who the person behind her is. I don’t believe that she has such good luck every time!”
Director Clark just looked at her silently.
“There will be an answer soon. This kind of news will not affect Arya at all.”
What kind of joke was this? She was the person that Dahua wanted to protect.
Maria’s face was gloomy as she left Director Clark’s house.
She really could not figure out who exactly was behind Arya! If what Director Clark said was true, what will she do?
Chapter 178
Some news about Arya taking drugs and going to a nightclub spread on the Internet. However, with the past, no matter if it was a passerby or a fan, they were very rational. They believed Arya’s character and definitely would not be as bad as the past said.
The Dahua Secretariat Department immediately made a move.
After investigating the cause of this incident, they confirmed that the person in the photo was Naomi and not Arya. They also obtained some evidence.
Martin reported it to Allen.
“Madam was rumored.”
“Contact a few mainstream media outlets and publicize all the evidence. However, Naomi’s real information is temporarily kept. It has other uses.” He wanted to know who else had the guts to continue slandering Arya.
Martin nodded and added, “We also found out that Maria was at the scene and disguised as Madam’s manager…”
Allen’s cold eyes were filled with coldness. His voice was extremely cold, “Get rid of her. I don’t want to see Maria’s name again.”
“Yes, Director Jones.” Martin answered firmly.
He had followed Allen for many years and knew Allen’s temper very well.
This time, Maria really kicked a steel plate.
…
Maria did not sleep for the entire night. She had been paying attention to the online trends and had seen with her own eyes that the threads about Arya taking drugs were replaced by the main character.
Many mainstream media outlets changed their words at the same time and even threw out evidence to prove the world that the person in the photo was not Arya but Naomi!
Maria was endlessly shocked and broke out in cold sweat.
What Director Clark said was right. There was indeed someone behind Arya!
Furthermore, this person’s background was unfathomable.
He was actually able to change the situation in a short night, no, in a few hours.
This was something that not even Aorai could do. However, Arya had been living quickly for the past few years. Even if there was a financial backer helping her from behind, there would not be any proper relationship between them.
At most, Arya was a mistress.
Maria gathered up her spirits. She was going to drive to Walter to see if there was any other way. However, as soon as she went out, she was stopped out by a phone call.
“Miss Maria, please come back to our bank to pay the rest of the loan.”
“Why? It is not the repayment deadline yet!” Maria was a little annoyed. She had just been fired by the Aorai and did not have much money on hand.
“This is new rule. For your creditability, please cooperate.” The other party was very polite.novelbin
There was no other way. Maria could only settle the matter of the loan first.
On the other side, Naomi’s mother took the initiative to find a media outlet to complain about her daughter’s injustice in front of the camera.
“She is still so young and has just debuted. How could she do such a thing? I know that your entertainment circle is always been very chaotic. It must be that, Arya, who is jealous of my daughter and slandered her. They look so similar. How can you be sure that the person who was filmed was not Arya? Could it be that you all took her money?”
Naomi’s mother insisted that it was Arya who splashed dirty water on Naomi.
“I know very well what kind of person my daughter is. She can’t take drugs!”
“Arya is the one behind the scenes, framing and slandering!”
As this report was published on the Internet, Melinda sat in the office and revealed a mocking smile.
“They are really going overboard.”
She did not go to hell by herself and insisted on pouring dirty water on others.
Melinda immediately asked the Public Relations Department to deal with it and also made a statement in the name of the Aorai. She told the public that Arya had nothing to do with this matter. If there were any other media or private gossip, they would use legal means to protect Arya’s reputation.
Furthermore, she had contacted Arya and told her that no matter what happened, there would be a company to make decisions for her.
Arya also relaxed and enjoyed vacation at home.
Following the Aorai’s public announcement, Naomi’s mother started to play a suicidal game.
It was said that if the reporters did not find out about it in time, she would really kill herself.
Arya saw the report on the television and dialed Allen’s number. “Allen, I want to go to the police station.”
Some things had to be clarified and used the most powerful evidence to completely shut up those people’s mouths.
Otherwise, this matter would become a stain on Arya’s life. It could not be erased.
Allen replied. “Let Luna and Justin go with you and settle it once and for all. If anyone affects you, I will let Martin go.”
With him behind her back, Arya did not need to worry about anything.
“Alright, don’t worry.” Arya smiled and hung up the phone. She changed into simple casual clothes and went to the police station.
The news on the internet was very complicated. Many young netizens were questioning Naomi’s character. There were also many fans who were the same age as her and were even younger than her. Naomi was not worthy to be an idol! She would only bring bad publicity to society.
If there were any underage fans who learned from her and also caught the bad publicity, who would take responsibility?
Naomi was very likely to be banned by the entertainment industry.
Her mother’s actions did not help her but pushed her into an irreparable abyss.
But when the matter continued to ferment, Naomi’s mother did not stop slandering Naomi. She sat on the hospital bed and received another interview from the reporters.
“What’s wrong with my daughter! She looks like Arya, so she should be slandered for drugs?”
“I gave birth to her and raised her. I will never give birth to a devil who causes trouble. You people, who bite a 17 year old girl, you are devils!”
The reporters kept walking into the ward and raised their microphones in front of her.
“Are you sure that the person who took the drugs is Arya?”
“Otherwise, who else would it be?” Naomi’s mother was very angry and shouted at the camera.
“You think that Arya took the drugs and messed up in the nightclub. She then confused the public and slandered your daughter Naomi, right?” The reporter asked, “But Naomi is still nowhere to be found. Arya made a statement at the first moment and even took the initiative to call the police to investigate. If she really do something wrong, would she do that?”
“I don’t know!” When Naomi’s mother heard these words, she was clearly very flustered and pushed the reporters away anxiously.
The reporters looked at each other and turned off the camera.
There was no need to continue asking. Naomi’s mother only said those two sentences. She was using her tears as a shield.
Many people saw who the person that night was.
Just as the matter was getting more and more difficult to figure out, Arya, one of the people involved, finally appeared. She chose to appear at the police station and took the initiative to ask for a solution of this matter.
Her manager and assistant were by her side. They only did one thing.
They wanted Arya to do a urine test.
She never defended herself. Facts were the best evidence to prove her innocence.
Chapter 179
On the other side, Naomi’s mother did not dare to show herself.
Because she knew very well in her heart that the person who took drugs was Naomi. She only wanted to use suicide to confuse the outside world and wanted to take the opportunity to excuse her daughter, but Arya could not be bothered to argue with her. She directly went to do the test.
That afternoon, Arya’s test report was made public by the Aorai. The conclusion proved that Arya had never taken drugs before!
Photos could be faked, witness could be faked, but this official proof was 100% real.
This was probably the most powerful counterattack Arya had ever made to Naomi.
She did not explain a word and directly took out this evidence.
Arya’s fans were completely furious. Just how did Arya owe them? All kinds of dirty water was going to pour on Arya! Not only did she want to rub off Arya’s heat, she also wanted to destroy Arya’s star path and life.
The netizens all shouted one after another, asking Naomi to destroy herself alone and not delay Arya!
In this world, there was only Arya. The fans would definitely not recognize any other little Arya.
After Arya made a statement, Naomi’s mother avoided the reporters and disappeared.
The reporters chased after her and blocked the door of her ward.
“What else do you have to say now? Arya is absolutely innocent. You were so sure that Arya slandered your daughter. What do you say now?”
“You keep saying that Arya is a devil. What about you guys?”
“Because Naomi looks like Arya, you guys used Arya’s fame to write articles. Don’t you feel guilty?”
“What exactly did Arya to wrong? You guys have to treat her like this!”
The questioning words forced Naomi’s mother to have nothing to say. She did not have the face to continue lying. In front of the camera, she shed tears of regret. Because of Naomi’s matter, she was already exhausted and had no choice but to reach this step today.
The reporters’ interrogation made her unable to raise her head.
“I admit that I was wrong.”
“I didn’t teach my daughter well and lied. I am sorry for Arya…”
Naomi’s mother said in pain. Her voice was choked, “It is our fault. I sincerely apologize…”
But when she was begging for forgiveness for her daughter, Naomi’s whereabouts were still a mystery.
Ever since the photos and thread were exposed, she had been hiding in her old friend’s house. Seeing that her mother seemed to have aged a lot in front of the camera, she was also very distressed and very upset.
She could not imagine that behind this incident, her past information and real name had all been exposed, including the incident where she had once dropped out her school and instigated her classmates to steal and injure others. The past bad deeds had become her fatal blow today.
When the material was dug out, the internet was full of boos.
Who would have thought that the sweet and lovely young girl in front of the camera would have such bad deeds and was so detestable.
The police also quickly obtained full evidence. They were sure that the person who appeared in the bar that night and took drugs was Naomi. After what she did that year, she changed her name and age for future development. In fact, she was already nineteen years old this year.
With all these things added up, there was absolutely no way Naomi could turn the situation around.
In a single night, she went from a new generation idol in the entertainment industry to a person that the police were investigating.
After Naomi saw the development of the situation, she completely collapsed. The company was blackmailing her and her mother was being chased by the reporters. What else could she do? Who else could she rely on?
Her friend was a newcomer who had just graduated from a drama academy. Her name was Josie.
“You can leave now. I can’t keep you any longer.” She saw the news on the Internet and was very disappointed with Naomi. She took out her luggage from the bedroom, “I trust you so much, but you are not worthy.”
Naomi had nowhere to go. Seeing that Josie wanted to chase her away, she immediately knelt down and begged her, “I really don’t have anywhere to go. I beg you, don’t chase me away. I cannot show myself now. If I am caught by the reporters and police, my life will be completely over!”
“From the moment you did those things, you should know that your life will be over. You can leave now. I’ll call the police now. When they come, I’ll tell them the truth.”
Naomi stared at her in shock, “You are crazy. You have taken me in for so many days. If you call the police, the police will also hold you responsible. Don’t be silly.”
Josie insisted on calling the police, “I am willing to take responsibility. In the past, I helped you smear Arya’s reputation because I believed your words!”
When Josie took out her phone, Naomi threw herself at her without caring about her life. Josie frantically dodged. Naomi could not stand still and fell on the corner of the table. In her panic, she knocked her head.
Her face was ruined.
That face that looked sixty percent similar to Arya had changed forever.
Perhaps this was God’s punishment for her. Half an hour later, the police took Naomi away from Josie’s house. Josie was brought to the police station and made a detailed statement.
The matter was finally over. When the netizens saw Naomi’s miserable state, they all said that she had brought it upon herself. She clearly had a good life, but she insisted on scheming and using methods. In the end, she pushed herself into a dead end.
When Naomi’s mother saw this scene, she resigned herself to her fate and fell onto the hospital bed.
No matter how she acted, she could not cover up the truth. Those who did bad things would be punished by the law. This had nothing to do with age or background.
It was just that through Naomi’s matter, everyone in the outside world had a new experience. Education really had an important role for a person.
On the other side, Maria had been hiding at home all this time. Seeing Naomi’s fate, she was so afraid that she did not dare to go out.
She was no longer the manager of Aorai. She had lost her source of income and she was in the pressure of a high lone. She had no choice but to sell her property and travel far away.
Fortunately, she told the reporters that she had resigned on her own and was not fired by Aorai. As long as this matter was over, she could still rely on her past experience to find a high salary job.
However, she was still found by the police. Because Naomi had taken drugs and caused trouble that night, someone reported that they saw Maria at the bar. The police had reason to suspect that she might be involved in drugs. novelbin
Very quickly, Maria was also pulled out of the water.
The police followed the clues and found out that she often met Naomi in private in the past. Maria’s reputation was completely tarnished.
Her edge and arrogance were all flattened. She could not care about her embarrassment and self- esteem and could only call Walter to ask him bail her out. Before she called, she was very nervous and was afraid that Walter would not come.
But in the middle of the night, Walter still appeared as promised.
“Thank you…”
Maria lowered her head and frowned. She wrapped her windbreaker tightly and got into the car with Walter.
Walter had just closed the door and was about to step on the gas when he heard Maria sobbing. When they broke up, Maria did not even shed a single tear. It could be seen that she was really frustrated this
time.
Chapter 180
“Don’t cry.”
Walter looked away and handed over a tissue.
“I admit they have wrists. I can’t beat them. I will leave. I can’t stay here any longer.” Maria had already thought of a place to go.
“Actually, you don’t need to. You still have some connections in this circle. Although you will encounter some obstacles at the beginning, some small companies will definitely use you. Although Melinda is angry, she will not be so extreme.”
Maria lowered her head. “It is not Melinda, but Arya and the people behind Arya.”
She took a deep breath and pulled Walter, “You must quickly gain a firm foothold and force Justin and Arya out of the Aorai. Otherwise, Melinda will definitely deal with you in the next step.”
“Arya’s background is unfathomable. Naomi and I are in such a miserable state because someone is helping her from behind.”
Walter was stunned.
“It’s true. I went to look for Director Clark. He broke the contract and changed the agreement with me. He would rather pay double the compensation than use Arya. This is the reason.”
Maria clenched her fists. “I can’t tolerate this, but I can’t do anything about it. I can’t beat her. I hope this news can help you.”
Walter could not nod. He took out a card that he had prepared earlier from his suit pocket.
“Take it. There aren’t many things I can help you with. No matter where you go, it will be better if you have money.”
Maria cried in pain. “If we did not break up back then, would it not be like this now?”
After saying this, she hurriedly got out of the car and walked into the night.
Walter was left in the car. He had never forgotten his relationship with Maria, but he did not want to be the second Justin and Rachel.
He knew Maria’s ambition, and also understood the unspoken rules of this circle. What true love, what mutual affection, they were all lies!
Only status and fame were real.
Maria would have today’s outcome. She had walked the wrong path.
But he definitely would not!
Right now, he had Violet under him, and Justin had Arya under him. In Aorai, there was no distinction between their strengths. As for Kiara who was under Maria before, she was brought along by the original senior management.
A war of resources without smoke was about to start.
No one wanted to lose to the other party.
Of course, there was someone behind Arya. Otherwise, it was impossible for her to leave the Brilliant unscathed.
However, no matter how important and powerful the person behind her was, it was useless.
In the entertainment circle, there were many ways to kill without bleeding.
Arya was indeed a very smart person. In this matter, she did not make any noise or mess with her own background. Instead, she chose the most direct method and directly took out the official inspection report.
She was indeed a formidable opponent.
After the storm gradually subsided, Arya’s popularity increased instead. Many excellent scripts swarmed over. There were even many A-list movies that wanted to invite Arya to be the female lead.
Justin had even specially designed a comeback plan for Arya.
In the next two months, she would have to spend most of her time at work. This kind of tight schedule was to consolidate her reputation. Allen also agreed on this point.
In the end, Justin called Arya to finalize the time to enter the group. He was still worried and asked, “Do you really not need me to pick you up? If something happens, the situation that was settled with great difficulty will have problems again.”
Arya was chatting with Allen at home. She answered seriously, “I really don’t need it.”
“Okay, but if something goes wrong this time, you can’t act on your own in the future.” Justin insisted.
“Sure.” Arya did not hesitate.
Justin also gradually understood Arya’s character. She was indeed different from other actresses in the acting circle. She knew very well what she wanted and would not take those detours. This was also one of the reasons why Justin was at ease.
But as a manager, there were some things he needed to remind her again and again.
This was also for himself. Only when Arya was in good, his path was wide.
“Go to sleep?” Allen walked over with a smile and gently wrapped his arm around her waist.
“I haven’t taken a bath yet…” Arya’s face was flushed red as she gently pushed him. In the next second, she was lifted up by her waist. “Ah!”
“Then let’s wash together!” Allen smiled and carried her into the bathroom.
After they had a sweet bath, they laid on the big double bed together. He gently held Arya’s hand. “You will be more and more busy in the future, but you must pay attention to your health. I have seen the schedule Justin arranged for you. He is very far-sighted. This person does have some ability.” novelbin
“In the future, you will no longer have me as your manager. You will no longer feel pity for me.”
Arya smiled and looked at his face carefully. Especially those eyes that were as black as gemstone. “That’s great. You can be less busy with my matters in the future.”
The Dahua had enough things to do. In addition, Allen had to do it himself. Arya felt very sorry for his body.
“No matter how much I do for you, I’m not tired and I’m willing to do it.”
Allen hugged her and placed his chin on her neck.
“But I would rather you have more free time to spend more time with me. I believe that day will not be too far away.” She would step by step stand closest to him and enjoy life with him.
“I can also accompany you now.”
Allen smiled disapprovingly. He was willing to work harder for her.
When he treated Arya, he was always gentle. However, he had already instructed Martin to use his identity as the President of Dahua to secretly inform the corporation that collaborated with Maria. If the Dahua was involved in any field, they would ban Maria!
He would not tolerate this person staying in the entertainment circle. Without the reputation of a manager, she would have nothing.
The next morning, Justin and Arya went to the Aorai for a meeting.
As soon as the car stopped, they ran into an actress who came out of the car. She was wearing black leather pants and gray sunglasses. Her long hair was draped over her shoulder. Beside her were two bodyguards and a manager.
They had also noticed Arya and the others.
The manager whispered something in the actress’s ear. The actress took off her sunglasses and walked towards Arya.
Her facial featured were very delicate and she was typical exotic beauty. She smiled and reached out her hand to Arya. “Hello, I am Kiara.”
She was once Maria’s most powerful actress.
From appearance to figure, she definitely had the strength to become an international movie star. Coupled with her gentle tone, it was very easy to conquer the audience.
“Hello.” Arya simply shook her hand and appeared to be slightly calm.
“Are you here for a meeting?” Kiara continued to ask.
“Yes.” Arya’s answer was very simple. She was not as enthusiastic as the other party.
“Let’s talk next time when we have time. I will go to the studio first.” Kiara also smiled at Justin beside her and then turned to leave.
