LOVE OF A BILLIONAIRE Chapter 31-40

Chapter 31

The actress and actors were excited by Arya’s performance, she stood in front of them and asked, “Do you still question my ability to act?”

A staff member beside them snorted, “I wonder how good their ability to act is now after seeing the performance from the movie queen.”

“So I guess you can act … okay!”

They looked at each other, turned around and left while muttering themselves. Caroline had told them Arya can’t act and she had no one to support her. That was the reason they provoked Arya. Had they knew she could act like the way she did, they wouldn’t dare be in her bad looks.

“Hold on a sec!”

Arya called out to them, took a quick glance at Caroline, “I thought we agreed, if you agreed I had the ability to act, you will apologize to me!”

“On right, I’m sorry!”

Arya knew that they were probably in cahoots with Caroline. She looked at them and sternly said, “To survive in this industry it’s not as easy as you think. Don’t be too abrupt and become someone’s pawns, you will only destroy your own future.”

Arya’s words were forgiving enough. If they targeted someone else, the target might want revenge and they may not be able to continue in the entertainment industry.

With a proud expression, Arya lifted her chin. She then turned around and left without saying more.

Just as Arya was about to go back to her room to rest and to review the scenes she had the following day but Luna ran up to her excitedly, “Arya come quickly. Someone prepared a surprise for you!”

“Surprise?”

Arya froze for a moment before Luna pulled her to the studio’s entrance.

Three Mercedes-Benz RVs were filled with foods and fruits with banners on the cars, which were very visible, reading, “Arya wishing you ‘The Evening’ a huge success.”

“Wow, so generous! It’s enough for a banquet.”

“Looks like Arya has someone to support her. It seems Caroline can’t compare to her even with a backup like Boss Evans! Caroline only knows how to make empty promises.”

Arya pulled Luna, “What is going on? I didn’t buy these.”

“I’ve asked around, the people are from Dahua.” Luna replied and covertly winked at her.

The cast and crew lines up for the food. Director Brown walked over with a smile, “Arya, you’re very generous. I didn’t expect you to treat everyone to such good lunch.”

“Oh it’s nothing …” Arya replied with a smile. She went to the side and called Allen to thank him.

At this moment, a few masked men came into the studio and pointed at Arya as they shouted, “It’s her over there. She’s the one who stole the limelight from Caroline!”

Eggs and ripped tomatoes were randomly thrown at Arya.

The scene was chaotic.

Under Luna’s protection, Arya was able to return to her hotel room. She quietly sat on the bed and started to remove remaining egg residuals from her hair.

On the other side, Luna hung up angrily on paparazzi.

“After a thorough inquiry, it was Caroline’s assistant who did it. Furthermore, she bought out top searches. Right now if we speak, the full internet is full of how she was wronged and consigned to the supporting role.”

“Luna, the video recording should all be ready?” Arya’s eyes were cold, she said quietly, “Since she is playing with fire, there is no need for us to be polite to her anymore. Luna, let’s do it.”

“Finally! I’ve been waiting for you to say it for so long. Let’s sit and watch the show!”

Luna waved her fists excitedly, took out her phone to make arrangements

Chapter 32

In half an hour, Luna’s online video caused a huge commotion.

The whistleblower detailed each video’s timeline on each post. Daniel was clearly two timing Arya. Even when Caroline knew that they were engaged, she still wanted to be a home wrecker. Judging from the scene from the video, she was clearly doing it in her own will.

Her pure image was now reduced to shreds due to the scale of the video. The Tieba and other blogs were berating her. All her fans said that liking such a celebrity was waste of their time.

“So she really is Daniel’s mistress, destroying Daniel and Arya’s relationship. She even used Arya to audition for her and then went against her. This manipulative bitch has no respect!”

“I heard that she had arranged for her fans to cause trouble for the film crew and harmed Arya!”

“Forget about it, I’m not gonna waste of my time to support her anymore.”

Although a lot of people posted degrading and scolding comments on Caroline, there were also many people who posted their apologies to Arya.

At the same moment, Daniel brought Caroline along with him to have lunch with Boss Evans to discuss about the next investment.

Daniel’s phone was ringing constantly. “Excuse me, I have to answer this.”

As soon as he answered the call, Public Relations Manager blasted, “Director Parker, something big happened. Quickly come back to the company.”

“What happened? Calm down and speak slowly …” The more Daniel heard, the darker his face became. “Okay got it, I’ll be there soon!”

However, just as he was about to say something, Boss Evans and the others also received the news.

“Director Parker, I never thought that you would take advantage of us. You can forget about the investment matter. In the future, there is no chance for us to cooperate with Brilliant Entertainment anymore. Otherwise, we will be entangled to death by you all!” novelbin

“Boss Evans!”

There was nothing Daniel could do. He saw a lot of reporters rushing towards them, so he hurriedly left with Caroline. When Caroline saw the video, she was dumbfounded.

Although the mosaics covered the body, it was clearly obvious she was naked.

Pa.

She slapped Daniel very hard across his face, “You secretly took videos!”

“Calm down, how could it have been me? Would I be stupid enough to put myself in the firing line?”

Daniel was flustered by the sudden turn of events. He didn’t have time to care about Caroline’s feelings. He grabbed her wrist to calm her and asked, “Think about it, who do you think would have done it?”

“Apart from Arya, I can’t think of anyone else. I just wanted her to be an outcast. I never expected her to do this. She has ruined my reputation and my life! I have lost my chance for getting the best actress award due to the backlash. How can I face anyone now or in future?”

Caroline wiped the tears off her face and furiously said, “I don’t care. Give Arya a call for a public apology!”

“No, we can’t afford to stir up more trouble or we are done for. I’ll take you back home. Don’t go anywhere for the time being. All activities will be postponed and I’ll go and explain to the production team.”

Daniel tried to calm her down by stroking her back. This was the best solution he could come up with at this moment.

Caroline suddenly felt a cold shiver and asked the man in front of her, “Daniel, you won’t abandon me, right? This situation has come this because of you. If you don’t want me …”

Daniel hugged her immediately, “Silly girl, why would I not want you? It’s just that we shouldn’t see each other for the time being. Trust me, I will sort out this matter soon as possible.”

Caroline got off the car doubtingly. As she watched the car drive away, she only had one emotion: hatred.

Caroline assistant rushed over to her home and saw her standing in a daze on the footpath. He whispered, “Stop looking and go home quickly. The paparazzi will be here soon.”

“Is there a chance I can still turn things around?”

Her assistant was afraid that she was still upset, so she quickly said, “Of course there is, the baby is you trump card, Young Master Parker won’t abandon you!”

“Baby?” Caroline slowly caressed her tummy, her eyes glowed once again.

Yes, she still have her baby.

Chapter 33

Because of the video incident, the production was forced to cease work.

While Arya was resting in her hotel room, Allen gave Arya a call.

His thoughts were simple and straightforward. His voice was very intoxicating, “I missed you. What are you doing?”

“Reading the script in my hotel room. Luna has gone to order dinner.” Arya answered gently with a twinkle in her eyes, “Oh yeah, the lunch you sent to the studio last time was very delicious. You’re spending money on me again.”

Allen put his luggage down in front of the door, his slightly raised eyebrows saying, “These are only minor things, I would only do these things and more about you.”

“Thank you, my dear husband …” Arya replied with a bit of embarrassment. Luckily, Allen wasn’t there to witness what she looked like.

“That’s better. Did you miss me?” His voice was full of allurement as though he wanted to devour her.

“I missed you! If there weren’t two more scenes I have to do the next couple of days, I would have gone home and spent more time with you. “Arya clutched the script and asked timidly, “Will you be upset if my work gets hectic in future and can’t see you much?”

Allen, a man of status would need a gentle woman who can look after him at home. Once Arya returns to the show business, she won’t be have that kind of warm time.

“No.”

“Really?” Hearing his answer, Arya’s heart was filled with warmth. Allen was so understanding, he won’t lie to her.

“Well, no matter where you are, when I want to see you, I’ll come and look for you.”

He saw Luna and signaled her to open the door. Luna smiled as she swiped her card. The door opened and Allen went in. He embraced the woman he was worried about.

“Why are you …” Arya widened her eyes and covered her face in surprise.

“You can’t see me like this! I just took off my makeup. Also I have dark circles under my eyes cause I didn’t sleep well yesterday!”

She wanted Allen to see her as perfect not a mess.

He laughed next to her ear. He gently held her wrist and lightly kissed her neck. novelbin

“Is there any side of you that I haven’t seen before?”

Still standing near the door, Luna blushed when she heard their conversation so she closed the door. Luna was worried Arya had trouble sleeping cause the production had ceased work. Now that Allen is here to be with Arya, she didn’t need to be too concerned.

“What are you doing here? Aren’t you suppose to busy the company?” Arya tilted her head and pouted.

“I am busy.” Allen cupped her face. “But you are more important.”

He had postponed the two meeting and took all necessary documents that required his signature with him, just so he could spend one night with Arya. It didn’t matter what they did as long as they were together and he could hold and comfort her.

“I’m very touched.”

Arya was a sentimental person. Although they haven’t known each other long but she could sense the sincerity in this man and she believed they would be very happy together with a perfect ending.

“You must had a long trip, go and take a shower, then we shall go out for dinner.” Arya rested her head on his shoulder while smiling.

“That’s all you have to say?” Allen frowned while pretended to be angry, “I specifically came to see you, isn’t there another way to express your feelings to me?”

“Tonight, I …” Before she could finish her words, he took her by surprise and carried with her legs rose in the air. She hugged Allen’s neck tightly so she doesn’t fall.

“I want it now.” Allen cut her off. He didn’t wait for her to respond; he hugged her tightly and went to the bathroom. Then he kissed her passionately.

The sudden closeness heated up Arya’s body. She leaned against Allen’s chest and surrounded herself to him, but all they did was only to take a bath together.

There was still a bit of sanity in Arya, then said, “Allen, I …”

Allen still held her body. He closed in towards her, with his extremely charming voice, he asked “How do you feel?”

Arya closed her trembling eyes in anticipation.

Allen understood her meaning when she didn’t continue her sentence. After he washed her with the most care, he released her hand.

Arya opened her eyes slowly and leaned towards his chest.

Chapter 34

While Arya and Allen were enjoying their dinner, somewhere in the hotel Luna received a call from Daniel.

“What do you want?” Luna snapped when she answered the call. If Arya was not under contract with Brilliant Entertainment, she would have definitely blocked his calls.

“You …” Daniel concealed his anger and asked, “Is Arya still in the production?”

“Of course, my Arya is very dedicated to her work, unlike some female celebrities who can’t act and is too busy dining and socializing. Oh and also only relying on their looks … actually maybe not only looks.”

“I don’t have time to talking to you. Pass the phone over to Arya.”

Luna pursed her lips, she was tempted to tell him about Allen, but Arya didn’t want to broadcast their relationship yet. She cleared her throat and perfunctorily said, “Arya went to get changed. We have a scene with the director later so she doesn’t have time to speak with Director Daniel tonight.”

With that said, Luna hung up.

“I’m sure it’s because of the scandal. I’m not going to give you the chance to ruin Arya’s date!”

Daniel tried to contact Arya but was not able to her through. He sat in his office late into the night, unable to sit still. The news of him and Caroline video continued to circulate as top three headlines on the internet.

“Damn it, what are the people in Public Relations doing?” He was so angry, he pushed the papers away on his desk.

His phone kept flashing with many messages. All the messages were from Caroline which he ignored.

Picking up his jacket, he headed directly for the nightclub.

He needed to have a time out and relieve the stress.

…

Compared to Daniel’s anxiousness, Arya had a peaceful night. She had a peaceful night. She curled up on the sofa and sighed, “It’s so nice being here, holding your hand and cuddling with you …”

Without any worried about the paparazzi taking photos or creating any news in tabloids.

“We can take it back.” They got closer and closer. He was hoping Arya could hear his heart beating for her. He seductively suggested, “As soon as you agree, I’ll immediately make our marriage public.”

It was not easy for him to leave this decision to Arya to decide but he did anyway.

“You’re going to spoil me like this.” Arya said without hesitation, “Now I know what is it means to feel touched and what true love is.”

In the past, it wasn’t easy for easy for her to feel moved, it took quite an effort but this man clearly spoilt her like his princess. novelbin

“If I don’t spoil you, who else am I going to spoil?”

Allen held her hand and said sincerely, “I want to disclose our relationship more than ever, but I am certain as long as we cherish each other, our lives will be the happiest in this life time.”

Arya raised her head and looked at him. “I didn’t expect a man of your status and position to feel this way about a marriage. I thought you …”

“What do you take me for?” Allen narrowed his eyes and pressed his lips onto Arya’s again. “I’m yours. Don’t ever doubt that.”

Arya closed her eyes in happiness. To have him by her side was definitely enough.

Chapter 35

The next morning, after Allen left, seeing the car in the distance, Luna told Arya about the yesterday’s call from Daniel. “Do you want to return his call?”

“No.” Arya rejected coldly. She looked at the script then continued, “It’s about time he had a taste of his own medicine to be ignored.”

“It is said Caroline applied for leave. I heard Directing Team has already removed her from the lead and replace her for the supporting role. You just need to do your best and I’ll handle the rest.”

“Okay, Luna, sorry for the trouble, you’ve been working so much. What time do we start filming?”

“At nine, we’ll go together.”

By the time Arya arrived at the studio, the crew already had everything prepared. There seems to be a lot more artists in the studio today. Arya were to act the second and third scenes with male lead.

“Jacob will be playing the male lead. He’s a celebrity under contract with Twin Suns. He’s never risen to stardom.” Luna whispered. novelbin

“Mm, right.” Arya did not greet him. She doesn’t let her personal feelings interfere with her work, regardless whether the person she is working with is a veteran or newbie, work was work. To her, they were the same.

Assistant Director looked at today’s script and walked towards Arya.

“Today’s scene is a bit difficult, after the crying scene, we will go directly to the memories of the past. In the memory scene, the male lead and you were still a couple. Can you grasp such emotion?”

Even though Assistant Director is aware of Arya’s brilliant acting, he couldn’t help but still feel a bit anxious.

“Sure.” Arya read the script ahead of time and understood the emotions required for today’s scene.

Assistant Director nodded and went over to Jacob. After checking with all other departments, they started filming.

When the other actors went into the scene, Arya followed behind while holding her skirt. Unlike the previous scene, this scene required intense energy. As soon as she saw the male lead, she needed to sob, a sad but reluctant cry.

Director Brown and Assistant Director anxiously waited for Arya’s performance while sitting in front of the screen.

“No!”

Arya shouted weakly and was in character, guiding the rhythm of the whole act. She tiptoed towards the male lead, expression she wanted to get close to him yet hesitating to do so.

All the actors and crew who were watching the scene play out were in awe by Arya’s breathtaking performance. No one expected she could burst into tears at the exact moment when her emotion reached its peak.

“You …” Jacob stepped forward. His acting was only sufficed.

Arya knelt on the floor and bawled uncontrollably. The director raised his hand and the camera focused on Arya’s profile. From her eyes down to her chin, every expression was perfectly interpreted by her.

When the director shouted out “Cut!”, everyone was overwhelmed by the scene.

“No wonder Arya was awarded the best actress, aka the movie queen. That was amazing!”

“I think for her to portray the female lead is an understatement. This movie of ours will definitely be a blockbuster.”

Luna, standing on the side, clasped her hands. “Thank goodness, Arya had returned!”

Back then, when Arya announced that she would be retiring from making another movie, the person whom was most devastated was Luna. She knew better than anyone how much effort Arya put in to achieve today’s performance. Apart from her natural talent, the hard work and criticism she had to overcome was not something an ordinary person can endure.

At her peak of being most popular, she chose to keep herself hidden. The decision was a loss to the entertainment industry. With her beauty and acting skills, she definitely had the qualifications to be internationally recognized.

Arya was able to be in and out character very quickly. She returned to her original self and walked to the director. Looking at the screen, she said, “The scene we did just now, do you need to take another shot form different angle?”

After all, this movie was indeed a challenge to film and act.

Director Brown had admiration for Arya, but as he looked at the screen, he hesitated, “if we were to film another take on the left side, can you ensure you can replicate your actions to perfection? This would be extremely difficult.”

To act a crying scene wasn’t difficult but to replicate the crying scene over and over again was definitely the greatest test for any actor.

Arya thought for a moment before nodding firmly. “Yes, I would like to try, let’s do another take.”

Assistant Director was surprised, then shouted, “Everyone, let’s do another take, get ready!”

This is the demeanor of a true professional actor. She was prepared to do everything in her power to accommodate the director’s requirement for the scenes. Most importantly, Arya had the ability to perform flawlessly.

Chapter 36

The incident with Daniel and Caroline did not affect Arya’s acting skills, instead, it gave her a boost of motivation!

With Arya’s superb performance, which everyone witnessed, the two consecutive scenes were done in the morning. In their break, Luna rushed over to Arya with some fruits she prepared, “Have some fruits before you touch up.”

When Arya was working, she was always lost in time. It was always Luna who looked after her.

“Thank you.”Arya took two mouthfuls of fruit when she saw Luna angrily hung up the phone. She asked in surprise, “What’s wrong?”

“It was Daniel. Because he can’t find you, he had called me more than ten times already.” Luna shook her head annoyingly. “If only he knew earlier this was the conclusion, he wouldn’t have done what he did!” novelbin

As soon as she finished speaking, Luna’s phone rang again.

Arya’s eyes darkened. She put down the fruit. “I’ll answer it. I can’t let him annoy you like this all the time.”

“Luna, where is Arya? Have her call me back immediately!” Daniel shouted, when he heard that the call was answered.

“What is it you want with me?” Arya answered calmly.

“Arya! I couldn’t get through to you. Are you still at the studio? You …” Daniel hesitated.

“I still have to work to do, if there’s nothing else, Goodbye.”

“No, listen! I’ve done lots thinking and have thought this through, we’ll get married as soon as possible. As long it’s what you want to do, you can do as many movies as you want. I’ll help you to the best of my abilities. Arya, I can’t be without you. I’ll book the first flight and come to you and then we’ll register our marriage immediately!”

This was the only solution he can only think of while he was drinking all night.

If it wasn’t for the fact, Arya was from the Morrison family, he could easily give up on her for Caroline. However, majority of the business dealings of the Morrison Family were located overseas. If he were to become the son-in-law of the Morrison family, he should be able to receive some inheritance, which would be very beneficial for his future.

As long as Arya haven’t seen the videos, he thought there was still a chance to save their relationship. Arya would not leave him since she loved him so much. As for Caroline, Daniel didn’t have her in consideration yet.

“Register our marriage?” Arya laughed, “Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t you say the marriage registration was postponed indefinitely? Now, you’re going back on your words so quickly?”

“I lost my temper then and blurted that out. Stay put and wait for me, I’ll come and look for you right now!”

“Are you coming by yourself or will you bringing Caroline with you? Your performance in your video was so passionate, are you willing to leave her?” Arya took a deep breath and sternly said, “Daniel, don’t treat me like a fool.”

“Arya, don’t believe the rubbish on the internet. I was afraid that you would overthink it so to show my sincerity, I’ve suggested we now register our marriage. Don’t worry, I will definitely explain it to you properly. Caroline and I only have a working relationship. Our relationship is definitely not how the world sees it. All the photos and videos are fake!”

“Since that’s the case, terminate her contract. The only way you can prove me you are innocent is when she leaves Brilliant Entertainment!” Arya’s voice grew colder.

Chapter 37

“Arya, don’t be angry. You know how much money we have invested in her, if we were to terminate her, it will be a huge loss for the company. For this reason, can you support me in my career?” Again, he used the same excuse. If it was possible, he didn’t want to give up on Arya nor Caroline.

“Then there is no need to continue this conversation.” Arya laughed contemptuously.

“Wait! Okay, I will sort it out as soon as possible, but you have to promise you will register with me.”

Arya said, “Oh, you better sort this out very soon.”

When Caroline finds out this, she definitely wouldn’t let Daniel off that easily. Then, she would anticipate the day when they would turn against each other.

Although Daniel was able to get in touch with Arya and suggested they get their marriage registration as soon as possible but with Arya’s cold and distant attitude made Daniel very uncomfortable. novelbin

Daniel drove to Caroline’s apartment, went in the building and looked at the elevator for a long time without pressing the button for her level.

He didn’t know how to explain it to Caroline at all!

Caroline’s eyes turned red from all the crying. She turned her head when she saw Daniel and asked, “What are you doing here? Are you going to let me fend for myself?”

Daniel felt really bad when she cried.

He couldn’t help but hugged her, “Don’t cry, your emotions can hurt our baby. Caroline, I came here today to tell you I have found a solution to this problem.”

“What solution?” Caroline looked up from his arms, her eyes were shining brightly.

“First, you will leave here for a while and give birth to our child. After the matter had settled down and everyone has forgotten about it, I will help pave the way for you again to become the most popular and highest paid female celebrity.”

Caroline was dismayed. She realized that Daniel wanted to give up on her, she grabbed his arm and said, “No, it took me so much effort to be where I am now. I won’t leave. I’m not Arya, I won’t be at your mercy.”

“I’m carrying your baby. If you are really going to treat that harshly, I’ll tell the reporters everything. When the time comes, we’ll see who is in a worse position.”

In terms of ruthlessness, Caroline would not lose to anyone. The day she seduced Daniel, she was already prepared to go down with him when the ship sunk.

“Caroline, I didn’t mean it that way, but at this moment, there is no other way. I’ve actually already contacted Arya and she’s going to marry me and that will prove that all the news about us are fabricated. The thing is, there was one condition which you have to leave the company. I was also forced into a corner.”

“It’s Arya again!” Caroline was enraged, but on second thought, she had to continue her hold on Daniel, “How can you believe her? Even if you get married, will you still get any benefit? Would Morrison Family let her inherit their fortune? Did you forget what you told before? The Morrison Family doesn’t care about Arya’s wellbeing at all.”

“Will you calm down?”

She shoved Daniel’s hand away. “How can I stay calm when you suggest something like that to me? Daniel, I can’t lose you. If you really want to me to leave the company, then I might as well end my life now!”

She ran to the balcony as she spoke, “Make your decision. Do you want me or to reluctantly marry Arya?”

“Come back here, don’t do anything stupid.” Daniel was scared by her, so he could only agree to her threat, “I love you the most, there’s no doubt I want to be with you.”

“Really?” Caroline didn’t really want to jump from the balcony. She just wanted to scare Daniel so he would agree to be with her. With him saying that, she left the balcony and went back into the living room.

Chapter 38

“Don’t scare me like that, I’m so busy racking my brain every day, trying to find a way to protect you and the baby. No matter what choice I make, remember I am doing this for you.” Daniel sighed, as much as he really wanted Morrison Family’s inheritance, perhaps Caroline was right, maybe Morrison Family did not care about Arya at all.

If he gave up on Caroline that would be one decision he’d regret for rest of his life.

“Daniel, I trust you, you must believe in me as well. As long as all three of us are together, we can get through any difficulties.” Caroline filled with happiness hugged Daniel.

Daniel found it that this matter was not easily solved; he sat on the sofa and said, “I originally wanted you to win the award for the supporting actress of ‘The Evening’ so that you would have the qualification to compete for the title of movie queen. Now the video has been messed everything up, the nominations will definitely be affected. I’ll have someone to meet the judges to see if anything can be done.”

“I’ll leave the nomination for the movie queen to you, but as for Arya, you have to agree what I say. Otherwise, she will destroy Brilliant Entertainment on way or another.”

“But …”

If Arya made a comeback, with her former reputation, she would be able to regain her peak of popularity in no time. Caroline, on the other hand, would be pushed down from her top actress position to the bottom in Brilliant Entertainment.

“If you allow Arya to return to acting, she’ll definitely take revenge on me. When that time comes, I won’t be able to protect our baby.” Caroline continued saying, “We can only have stay hidden. After thisnovelbin

movie, you can’t give her any chance to act. After two to three years, her popularity will disappear and people will have forgotten about her.”

“If she becomes the top actress in Brilliant Entertainment, who knows what she’ll do!”

Caroline’s concern was reasonable. Daniel had taken advantage of Arya many times in order to protect Caroline’s reputation. If Arya really did regain her popularity to its peak, she would definitely not give a damn about him. If the relationship between him and Caroline were revealed, it would be difficult to solve.

“Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

“Have Arya complete frozen. Do you give her a chance to act in shows or commercials. Sooner or later, she will disappear from the entertainment industry.”

Caroline leaned on Daniel’s chest, coquettishly persuading, “By going this far, the three of us can live happily. I’m doing this for you.”

Daniel remained silent. He was calculating how he should proceed it in his head. If he really was to abandon Arya, then he would have to make a through decision and cut her off with no chance of her ever making an appearance again in showbiz. Once it was in motion, he would have to block all her opportunities.

Daniel was decided to let Arya be Caroline’s stepping stone. In the morning, the following day, he issued a notice to inform the production team to temporarily suspend Arya’s filming under the name of Brilliant Entertainment. No explanation was given.

Arya saw Director Brown’s troubled expression, while Luna furious.

“I won’t delay the production so I’ll go back to the company and analyze the situation.” Arya said calmly.

Thinking these were mostly Caroline’s ideas, she had a thought Daniel would pull a stunt like this. Since he couldn’t persuade her to refuse the role, he used the company’s name to stop her.

“I’ll adjust the scenes to be filmed and wait for your return.” Director Brown knew that Arya had met with trouble. In this industry, there would always be people who would be doing something to cause trouble for others.

Arya took Luna out of the studio; they got in the car and headed directly to Brilliant Entertainment.

“Arya, I’ve checked yesterday, Daniel went to Caroline’s apartment and stayed there overnight. They are up to their old tricks again.” Luna said angrily.

“Luckily you met Allen, otherwise that scumbag, Daniel would have ruined your life.”

She thought of how Arya was used and bullied by them in the past. If it wasn’t for Arya, would Caroline be able to have today’s reputation and status?

Chapter 39

“I was naïve back then. I was deceived by his deception. From now on, I won’t let them continue and will never let them succeed.” Arya looked at the Hot Search list on her phone and sneered.

In order to make Caroline the movie queen, Daniel is doing whatever he can. Now, he has finally decided to give up on her!

Since he was heartless to her, she would not be kind to him either.

“Luna, prepare a backup of my contract with Brilliant, we may need it soon.” Arya leaned against the seat of the car. Just when was she closing her eyes, Luna’s phone rang.

“It’s Daniel, what do you want me to do?” Luna asked.

“Answer it.” There is no point in avoiding him now, she also wanted to know how Daniel was going to scheme against her. novelbin

Luna answered the phone. After saying a few words, she shouted, “No way! I definitely will not allow Arya’s comeback to be managed by another person. Daniel, don’t go overboard!”

She hung up the phone angrily and turned to Arya and said, “They’re changing your manager, her name is Julia. She was the one who contacted the production team and suspended all your other films. Daniel announced in the company’s name you are temporarily not taking on any other projects. He also tried contacting the production team of ‘The Evening’ to change you role to fewer scenes. He is obviously trying to unilaterally ban you.”

Regardless, Arya had indeed signed a contract with Brilliant Entertainment.

It was impossible for her to take on any projects without Daniel’s permission. Even if she has an ongoing project, he could still take away all opportunities Arya had with a single sentence.

Back then, if she hadn’t foolishly trusted Daniel and voluntarily retired, would ha have used this despicable method to force her to retire?

“Would you like to have Caroline’s pregnancy report made public? Let them know they shouldn’t mess with you!” Luna was enraged, but she also felt even more upset for Arya.

She had sacrificed so much for Brilliant and even if there was no merit, she had put in a lot of physical labor. Daniel was able to ignore his longtime relationship after hearing a few words from Caroline.

“Now is not the time yet.”

Arya stared at the street in the distance and calmly said. “In this industry, no one knew the conclusion. Caroline has debut some time ago, she wouldn’t do anything stupid. Since she arranged Julia to be my manager, she must have something up her sleeve waiting for me. We’ll string her along; I want to see what she has installed for me.”

As long as Arya had made her decision, no one would be able to stop her!

On the other side of the city, Allen also received the notice. In order to protect Arya behind the scenes, on the first day of their marriage, he had sent people to look out for Arya’s movements. Although to the outside world, she was a female celebrity but to him, she was the only woman in his life.

Allen looked up from the document, his cold eyes half-closed, “Daniel must be courting death… Investigate this Julia carefully. Don’t let her have the opportunity to make her move.”

“Understood, Director Jones.”

Allen frowned slightly but after a few seconds he relaxed. How could a woman that he had his eyes on, fall for their tricks? They are courting death!

Chapter 40

Not long after, Allen’s assistant, Martin, handed Luna all of Julia’s details and information.

Luna could not help but exclaim, “Wow! He really is the CEO of Dahua! You are way too efficient!”

Arya assumed Allen would be helping her and with a loving smile, she sent a message thanking him.

Luna watched from the side and shook her head repeatedly.

“It’s over. You’ve really fallen deeply. Look at your face, it’s filled with passion!”

Arya didn’t say anything. She felt embarrassed and just glanced at Luna. When they were about to enter the company, Arya received a message from the very annoying new manager, Daniel assigned for her. novelbin

“I had begged Director Daniel to give you a chance to do the lingerie advertisement. Hurry up from that lame production team and meet up with me. I’m only waiting for you for half an hour!”

To get to the company in the city center from the studio would take at least an hour and half.

Arya deleted the message and led Luna directly to Daniel’s office.

“Arya, why didn’t you knock before coming!” Daniel was reading a document when he heard the footsteps. Arya and Luna had already walked into his office.

“Do I have to knock on the door to see you at this hour? Daniel isn’t there something you need to tell me?” Arya stood in front of his desk aggressively, sneering, “If you have fallen in love with Caroline, you can tell me directly, I’ll be more than willing to give you my blessings, but do you have to sneak all those places to see her? Is it exciting?”

“What are you saying!” Daniel stood up quickly and went to close the door.

Arya crossed her arms, maintaining a safe distance from Daniel. Her expression was full of distain and disgust, “The entire world knows, only I, your fiancée in name, am kept in a dark. You are having an affair with her, what can I say? Do I even matter to you?”

“I didn’t want to be ruthless but you cornered me. It was all because of you forced me. What did you promise me before? You promised you would withdraw from showbiz for me, but you went behind my back and destroyed the road that I paved for Caroline! With the ruined, my future is also ruined. Arya, the person who is truly acting is you!”

Daniel refused to be beaten. At the very least, he had to show there was nothing wrong with what he did.

Arya was appalled, looking at his face …

How did she face this person before?

Seeing that she suddenly became silent, Daniel thought he had won the argument. He then said proudly, “Originally, your appearance attracted me to you. I wanted to marry you and then after a few years, divorce you. But you wouldn’t even let me touch you. What? Pretending to be innocent?”

“The love you’re talking about is your lies trying to trick women into your bed. I really feel sorry for Caroline. Breaking off all ties with me today, I can see you’ll also abandon her the same way in the future.” Arya inhaled a breath and determination she said, “Back then I was blind, so from now on I’ll walk my own path.”

“That’s fine, we can go our separate ways! But remember, you will never escape from my control. As long as your contract has not expired, there will be the day when I will hide you. Even if your contract

expires, I will make things difficult for you! I will make sure you never have the chance to reach the top again!”

“Then I’ll be waiting. It’s just that, I feel like what I’m waiting for will be a glorious demise of Brilliant!”

All those years of love where in vain.

Arya could only treat it like being with a heartless dog. It wasn’t so much that her heart ached, it was more after the pain had passed; she knew she had to walk in the daze towards the end of the tunnel to start her new life!

Arya buried the last bit of pain in her heart and left quickly.

Starting today onwards, her motive is to have them disappear from the entertainment industry and to persevere.

“How is it?” Luna was waiting the entire time in Arya’s dressing room.

“The war has just begun.” Arya smiled. The moment she walked out of Daniel’s office, she had already forgotten the argument.
