Chapter 341
Apart from the production team that attracted the fans, the Dahua officials also posted a male lead outside the conference room, James, who was dressed in the clothes in the movie, standing beside the flower bed. He looked at the poster of a certain woman’s back with deep affection.
His eyes were very clear and attractive.
The number of comments on the Internet instantly exceeded ten thousand. Everyone expressed that they would definitely support the box office.
Only after the press conference began did the reporters realize that Arya was sitting below the stage! Her eyes were locked onto the man on the stage the entire time. Her eyes were full of dependence and worship…
Other than Arya, no one else knew the real identity of the scriptwriter.
After Allen spoke, the host handed the microphone to Skylar beside him. It was just that at that time, Skylar’s expression was very unnatural.
With Allen’s current status in the acting circle, what would he do if he found out there was someone behind him…
While Skylar was speaking, Allen got up and walked down the stage. He sat in an empty seat beside Arya. At this time, many reporters realized that Arya had been below the stage.
The two of them sat side by side but did not have any intimate actions.
They just whispered a few words from time to time.
“After the press conference ends, I will ask the driver to send you back.”
“Okay, you go ahead.”
Allen left halfway through the press conference. After the press conference ended, Arya was the only one who left. She was blocked by the reporters at the door of the conference room.
“Miss Arya, why did you attend the press conference today?”
Arya knew that these reporters were asking questions and setting up a trap for her. She smiled and said, “I just happened to come to the company today to do some work. When I saw that there was an event here, I came over to take a look.”
What she meant was, I am an actor from the Dahua. I appeared. Was it strange for me to appear in the meeting room of the Dahua?
The reporters were stunned. They realized that Arya’s way of answering questions was getting more and more ingenious.
“Can you please tell me how you feel about this movie? After all, this movie was personally chosen by Director Jones and he had chosen the director and actor.”
“I think it attracts me. I will go to the cinema to support it. I also hope that everyone will support it.” Arya smiled faintly from beginning to end.
“There is a rumor that Director Jones wants you to be the female lead. Is it true?”
When the reporters asked this question, Skylar walked towards the door.
Arya looked in Skylar’s direction and said to the reporters, “This is the first time I have heard of this news.”
“It can’t be. You are Director Jones’s girlfriend!”
“With such a good script and team, wouldn’t Miss Arya be tempted? If there was a chance, would you act?”
This question… No matter how she answered it, it was wrong.
Arya slightly frowned.
The reporter continued to ask, “Director Jones is your Exclusive Broker. If there is a good opportunity, he should consider his artiste first!”
With such a question, the question was already very sharp. Any actor who heard it would feel uncomfortable. Furthermore, the female lead, Skylar, was right beside her!
Arya was just about to answer when a slightly clear voice interrupted them.
“Is the reporter who asked this question because he has too much courage or because he can’t speak his mind?” This reply was very forceful.
Arya followed the source of the voice and looked over. Skylar walked to her side in a blue dress to help her deal with the reporters’ questions, “I have known Director Jones for a long time. He is a person who is clear about public and private matters. He will not make hypothetical mistakes.”
“Furthermore, you guys are so aggressive when her boyfriend is no longer around. Aren’t you afraid that Director Jones will find trouble with you?” This sentence was half a joke.
However, Arya felt that it was very harsh when it sounded like she was helping Arya out.
However, she did not reveal it. The smile on her face did not change in the slightest, “I still hope that everyone will pay more attention to the film. I believe that Dahua will not disappoint you.”
After saying that, Arya pushed the microphone away and walked out of the meeting room.
Skylar’s words just now made her very uncomfortable. It was as if she was saying that Allen was her boyfriend, so what? He chose actors, not women.
In fact, that was what Skylar thought.
She believed that her professional ability and acting ability were better than Arya’s. Even if it was in terms of background and awards, she was still far better than Arya. Therefore, it was absolutely not Arya’s turn to act in such a major production film.
“Arya left just like that?”
“Skylar spoke up for her just now and she did not even say a word of thanks?”
“I think she wanted to act, but Director Jones didn’t agree. Those questions just now hit her sore spot.”
“But that’s true. She just signed the contract with Dahua. Even if she was an artist personally led by Director Jones, she doesn’t have the qualifications to take on such a big production movie.”
Skylar heard the whispers of the reporters and left the meeting room with a faint smile. She had no intention of going against the Dahua, but since the female lead was her now, she would not let Arya steal her limelight.
Arya was indeed Allen’s woman, but the entertainment industry still had to talk about strength and qualifications. In Skylar’s eyes, Arya was not qualified to be her opponent.
Skylar brought her manager into the parking lot. Just as she was about to get into the caravan and leave, she saw Xandra’s car parked beside her caravan.
“Why are you here?”
“I have already followed your request and attended the press conference. I also let the reporters see that Arya and I have a conflict. Are you still not satisfied with this result?”
“Of course I am. We have a very happy cooperation, right?” Xandra revealed a smile, “I also just happened to come to do something. I have no intention of forcing you.”
“You’d better not meet me in public. I don’t want Allen to find out.” Skylar snorted, got into the caravan and left.
Actually, Skylar liked this script very much. If she had not been threatened by Xandra, she wanted to use this movie to aim for a few more heavyweight awards.
Unfortunately…
Some things could not be controlled by her.
…
Arya appeared at the venue of the press conference and had conflicts with Skylar a long time ago!
Arya was mocked by Skylar and was not qualified to snatch her role!
Arya’s situation in Dahua was not as glorious as it looked!
In order to attract people’s attention, reporters wrote all kinds of articles. Just a few sentences of interviews could be extended to an annual drama.
When Luna saw these titles, she was extremely angry. “These reporters are too much. When did we say we were going to act? They even said that we stole her female lead. How interesting!”
“Besides, why aren’t you qualified?” Luna did not want those people to discredit Arya. Arya’s strength was clearly sufficient, but she insisted on being framed like this. In her eyes, Arya was a natural actor.
No matter what role she played, it could be vividly displayed by her.
She did not need to go through the back door at all!
Chapter 342
“There’s also those passerby anti-fans who said that they wanted you to put on a good show. Don’t be a woman who brought disaster, and affect the development of the Dahua!”
“They weren’t wrong either.” Arya answered very calmly, “Many scenes depend on fate. Even if I want to take it, it might not be appropriate.”
“Then what they say is too harsh!”
Arya did not care. After being in the entertainment industry for so long, she was already used to these things.
“But does Director Jones really not consider letting you act? Haven’t you guys discussed this before?” Luna ran to the other side of the sofa and pushed Arya’s shoulder, “Tell me!”
“Do you want me to act in every movie of the Dahua?” Arya asked with a smile.
“But this movie is the work that the Dahua invested a lot of effort into. It will help your acting career, right? According to your personality, you really like this kind of challenging role.”
Luna did know Arya very well, but this matter was not the same as before.
“I want to focus on one thing and do another. Skylar is a good actress and the movie is about to start. I will also take part in the promotional schedule arranged by Clarissa.”
It was never Arya’s style of doing things.
“That Skylar is also not a kind person. I heard that her manager has made a lot of unreasonable requests to the production team. She is so arrogant because she is not an artiste of Dahua. If she
signed the contract in Dahua, she would have been dealt with long ago.”
Arya helplessly shook her head, “There are so many actresses in the entertainment industry. Could it be that every one of them is going to be our enemy? Forget it, everyone has their own style of doing things. Naturally, there will be people in charge of negotiations in the production team. We just need to do our own things.”
“Mmm, you’re right.” Luna thought for a moment and agreed with Arya’s words, “Coincidentally Serena will come back from the film production base tomorrow. You also have a few days of rest. Do you want to go see her?”
Arya shook her head, “It is rare for her to have time to rest. She has just started dating Raul. Let them gather more.”
At night, after Allen got off work, he saw Arya leaning on the sofa and reading the script. He walked over and held her in his arms. “What do you want to eat for dinner?”
“I want to eat the dishes you cooked.” Arya smiled and leaned against his warm chest.
“Okay.” Allen had already seen those false reports, but he did not want to bring those annoying things home.
Arya helped him put on an apron and said softly, “I’m fine. Those words do not affect me at all…”
In this circle, it was very normal to hype things up.
“However, are the requests of Skylar’s manager within a controllable range?”
“Do you suspect that they have other thoughts?”
Arya nodded seriously, “I thought about it when I came back. After the press conference ended, the questions the reporters asked me were too deliberate. Skylar was right next to them. I remember that only Bieber and Clarissa knew that you wanted me to act. How did the reporters know?”
Allen nodded. “I will be careful.”
“Do you think the same as me?”
“When the company sent people to communicate with Skylar, she did not have any notice or schedule at all. However, after signing the contract, she suddenly requested to focus on filming and said that there were changes to the schedule. However, Martin gave me a report that she only has one brand’s activity. It will end in less than a day.” Allen replied.
“In other words…”
Allen nodded. “Your prediction is correct, but I have a new plan now.”
…
Under the coordination of the production team, Skylar finally officially entered the set one week later.
Originally, everyone thought that Arya would snatch Skylar’s female lead’s comments would be suppressed, but they did not expect Skylar’s fans to directly go to Allen’s personal page to cause trouble. They left a message for Allen to do his business well and make a movie. They did not want to affect the atmosphere of the film industry just because of a woman.
When Arya and Allen’s fans saw these words, they immediately retorted, mocking Skylar’s fans for being stingy and unable to withstand challenges. Arya was clearly more suitable to be the female lead.
The fans were arguing fiercely, and the rumors became more and more ridiculous.
It was just that Arya had never expressed any thoughts of acting as the female lead of “Memory Fragment” in any public place.
It was as if someone was constantly stirring up disputes in the dark. Every time the Dahua’s Public Relations Department removed the trending search, new topics would pop up…
“Arya, things are getting more and more serious now. Someone is definitely doing something behind the scenes.” Luna carefully studied the direction of the comments, “We have never offended this Skylar before!”
“Moreover, they are so sure that you are not as good as Skylar?”
“They actually dare to talk about the qualifications in the entertainment industry. How interesting. Could it be that you are an airborne soldier? I really want to smash the script that you have filmed in the past onto the faces of those ignorant people.” novelbin
“For your feelings, it’s better to watch less of those unimportant news.” Arya raised her head and said to Luna.
Luna suddenly lost her temper. She shook her head and said, “You, can you be so calm even when the sky collapses?”
Compared to Arya, she could not remain calm at all. Even though she knew that she did not need to pay attention to those people, she still felt very uncomfortable when she saw those headlines and comments.
“Why did the boss not stand out to clarify?”
Arya did not respond. She just stopped reading the magazine.
Luna suddenly realized something and immediately ran to Arya’s side and said, “The boss also wants you to act, right?”
That was why he kept silent… otherwise if the female lead turned into Arya in the end, wouldn’t it be him slapping his own face?
“Then could it be the Dahua hype behind the scenes?” Luna boldly guessed.
“It can’t be. Allen can’t use our relationship to hype things up.” Arya directly said, “I’m just wondering if Skylar can push the current situation on her own. Is there someone behind her helping her? Otherwise, Allen wouldn’t have waited until now to not make a move.”
Luna tilted her head, indicating that she did not understand. “Forget it. Since the boss is already paying attention to this matter, I don’t have to worry about it.”
Arya nodded. She was waiting for Luna to say this.
“Then you better give me a background. If he really lets you act in this movie, will you act?” Luna asked this because she wanted to prepare herself in advance. If there were any changes in the future, she would be able to respond in time.
Arya only maintained her calm and did not answer this question.
She was waiting, waiting for the situation to take a step further. If Allen really needed her, no matter what opportunity he gave up, she would agree without caring about her own safety.
Seeing her expression, even if she did not answer, Luna had an answer in her heart. She smiled and said, “I will continue to pay attention to the movements of those medicinal anti-fans. You can read in peace.”
Chapter 343
“President, this is the latest data we have. The fans are still very noisy.” Martin placed the report on Allen’s desk. “I traced the most active IDs and found the IP address. However, the real names registered are fake. There might be someone behind it.”
“Actually, the Dahua can clarify it. As long as you say one word…” Martin voiced the doubt in his heart. To Allen, this was just a matter of one sentence.
“The main investor this time is the Dahua. There are many powerful actors joining the alliance. It is absolutely beneficial to Skylar. She does not need to do this. With her reputation, she does not need to use this matter to hype things up, so…”
“I understand. Only by not doing anything for the time being can the people behind her reveal themselves.”
“They are targeting Arya. Who is the one who will out to settle the matter?”
Martin paused for a few seconds and looked at Allen. “You.”
After he finished speaking, he walked into a dead end. “But as long as you clarify it, this matter will end immediately.” After he finished speaking, he thought of another possibility. “Or will Madam really act?”
“Arya really likes this script but did not tell me that she does not want to act. As long as she does not make a statement, I will continue to pave the way for her. No matter what happens, it is within the scope of control.”
Allen was confident about this. Taking a step back, Skylar was the one who requested to focus on filming. If the matter escalated, she would not be able to escape responsibility. Allen was simply waiting
for the best opportunity to act.
“If Madam were to act, perhaps there would be a different kind of surprise…”
Allen’s eyes were filled with expectation. He trusted Arya’s strength more than anyone else. Furthermore, Arya also understood the special meaning of this movie to him.
It was just that…
“Since they provoked me first, they must be prepared to bear the consequences.”
And the price of provoking him?
So far, no one had been able to bear it.
When Martin saw the change in his CEO’s expression, he knew that those troublemakers were dead meat.
…
In the next few days, Arya was preparing to go overseas to publicize the new Clarissa’s film, but when she thought of what Skylar said at the press conference that day, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.
Ever since she knew that the script of the movie was written by Allen, she had high expectations for the movie. She had watched the script many times and it was finally going to be put on the screen. She would not allow anyone to ruin Allen’s dream.
Deep in the night, Arya tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
Allen was already very familiar with her breathing. He knew that she was awake. He turned on the night light at the head of the bed and asked, “What’s wrong? Can’t sleep?”
“Yes…” Arya looked up at Allen.
“Because of the script?” Allen hugged Arya and asked in a low voice.
“Skylar has already joined the group. It seems that the matter has been resolved. The situation may turn for the better, but if they don’t stop and keep forcing the Dahua…”
“What are you going to do?” Allen’s eyes contained a cold glint.
“I won’t allow them to do that. They can bully me, but they can’t bully you!” Arya said seriously, “I know how to act. No matter what price I have to pay, I will do it for you.”
Allen’s smile became wider. He hugged the person in his arms tighter. “Okay.”
Her wife also spoiled him.
After the two of them agreed, Allen’s heart ached for Arya even more. He should have told her his thoughts and plans earlier. This way, Arya would not be so worried.
He would give Skylar and her Brokerage Agency another chance. novelbin
After the filming started the next day, Allen’s car drove into the studio. Under the circumstances where a few people in charge knew about it, he directly walked into Skylar’s lounge.
They had known each other for a long time. They used to be classmates…
Skylar was originally drinking coffee. When she saw Allen walk in directly, she was obviously frightened. She did not dare to look into Allen’s eyes the entire time.
If she did not feel guilty, she would not be like this.
“You should know why I came to find you.” Allen stood beside the sofa with a cool look in his eyes.
Skylar’s heart was in a mess. She did not know how to face Allen’s question. She kept silent.
“I have already coordinated with your Brokerage Agency. Your personal salary has increased by 7%.” Allen raised his hand. Behind him, Martin immediately took out a new amended contract.
“Why…”
“Some things are easier to solve with money.” Allen’s answer was very direct. “Since we used to be classmates, I can pretend that nothing happened, but… I will give you only one chance.”
“Director Jones, you have confused me. I don’t understand what you are talking about.”
Allen just glanced at her indifferently, but the meaning of the threat was very obvious.
Skylar instantly regretted. She had the urge to say everything, but Xandra had already threatened her. If she told Allen, her life would be completely destroyed.
Now that she was putting everything on the line, she still had a chance to escape unscathed.
Skylar coughed and said to Allen, “Then I will first thank Director Jones for his affirmation. I will act well.”
When Allen got up, he had already made up his mind.
Skylar kept her eyes on him. When she saw that Allen had already walked to the door, her worried heart was half relieved. But Allen turned sideways and said, “Don’t tell me you think Arya did not accept this movie because she can’t act as the female lead?”
Skylar was stunned for a moment. Allen had already walked out of the lounge.
What did that mean?
Skylar’s palms were full of cold sweat. She was sure that Allen had sensed something and was giving her a chance just now…
However, Xandra had her dirt in her hands. She absolutely could not leak the fact that she was being kept as a mistress. She had no other choice.
Therefore, even if Allen mentioned her personal pay, the news outside did not change the trend. The fans on both sides still did not give in.
After Skylar locked the lounge, she dialed Xandra’s number, “What do we do? Allen already knows.”
“So what? Don’t worry about acting in your movie. When it’s halfway through, I will act again. When the time comes, you will take the initiative to invite Arya to the production and tell her that you are willing to ease your relationship with her.”
“And then? What exactly are you going to do!” Skylar had lost her patience. If she were to fall out with Allen, would she still have a way out? The feeling of someone holding her throat almost suffocated her.
“You don’t need to worry about what happens next.”
“You’d better prepare well. Otherwise, I will be killed by you.” Skylar hung up the phone. Her manager was outside the door urging her to start shooting.
Skylar took a deep breath and walked out of the lounge with a smile.
Chapter 344
Although only a few people knew that Allen had come to visit, Skylar didn’t want outsiders to see the conflict between her and Allen. In the crew, she still worked very hard and let everyone see it. Even if something happened in the future, she could make up an excuse to get away.
The shooting seemed to be on the right track. In the following period of time, Arya followed Allen to the production team to visit. As Skylar who had won many international awards, she was indeed very good at controlling this role. Her acting skills were not wrong.
After Arya saw it with her own eyes, she was relieved.
After returning home, Allen looked at Arya who was packing her luggage in the cloakroom and said with a smile, “Mrs. Jones, I want to remind you one thing. There is less than a month before our public wedding. Recently, you have to travel overseas…”
Arya was stunned for a moment, then she thought about the work arrangements after and nodded. “So, Mr. Jones, do you have any good suggestions?”
“I want to wait until you finish your work during this period of time before making arrangements.” Allen said.
“I will listen to you.” Arya said with a smile.
Were they really going to publicly announce their marriage?
When the outside world heard this news, how shocked would they be?
Arya’s packing up movements clearly slowed down. Some things might become different because of this news…
“Right, I want to go overseas to publicize the trip for Raul to go with me. I also want to give you and Luna a vacation.”
Allen put on his clothes and came over to help Arya carry her suitcase. He nodded and said, “I will listen to you and create a good opportunity for your good sisters to date.”
“Coincidentally Serena is also going there to shoot an advertisement. Let them gather. They have not seen each other for more than half a month.” Arya hugged Allen and lazily leaned against his chest.
“Okay, I will listen to you. I will call Raul now.”
Arya was very satisfied with his performance. She stood on her tiptoes and kissed his lips.
However, it seemed that no matter how long it took, Arya would be shy and nervous when she kissed him. It was like the first time she kissed someone. …
Allen noticed her slightly trembling waist and held her with both hands, “Arya…”
The two of them slowly approached each other. Every corner of the house could become their battlefield. This time, it was the cloakroom.
There were so many mirrors. Arya shyly lowered her head. This man is really too energetic.
More importantly, she did not want to reject him.
…
Due to the temporary transfer of Raul and Arya to go overseas, there was a change in the flight.
Arya and Raul had just boarded the plane when news spread in the country, saying that Arya’s medicinal Exclusive Broker and Arya had differences and thought that Arya wanted to greedily obtain
the qualifications to be the female lead of Memory Fragment. But Allen did not agree, so he canceled his plan to go overseas with her and replaced it with Artist Director Raul.
There were even people who secretly pointed out that they had already broken up.
“The entertainment industry is so messy that there will not be true love. No matter how much he dotes on her, he will not abandon the company’s benefits for the sake of love!”
“It’s fine as long as everyone looks at the photos and admires them. It’s impossible for them to get married.”
“It can’t be that they really broke up, right? It should be a couple quarreling.”
Martin looked at the news report on his phone and shook his head. “These people, are there no news to write about?”
Allen was helpless, but he immediately opened his personal account and uploaded the latest update.
There was no text, only a short video attached. It was when Arya was practicing yoga and sitting quietly at home a few days ago. He took a picture of her back.
“Look, Director Jones misses Arya alone at home.”
“I told you the reporters were too gossipy. They didn’t break up at all!”
“They didn’t break up. The public is too vicious. It’s just that their work and schedule have run into each other. They can’t go overseas with Arya.”
Martin saw that CEO had acted so quickly. He thought that the reporters would not write anymore nonsense this time.
Allen wanted to let the media and reporters know that his feelings for Arya were serious. He would not allow anyone to spread rumors about their relationship.
…
Since the start of “Memory Fragment,” filming had been going smoothly every day and it was even better than the completion of the plan. Skylar had already filmed half of the scenes. Although the remaining scenes were not many, they were all important scenes.
At the start, Bieber really wanted Arya to act as the female lead. But after seeing Skylar’s performance, he felt that this actress’s strength was also very good, especially when she needed to explode at some points. She was indeed a very professional actress.
During lunch break, the male lead, James, sat beside Skylar. While reading the script, he said, “Everyone has already approved of your acting skills. There is no need to rush. No one will change your role.”
Skylar was stunned. She continued to drink the coffee in the thermos. She did not expect James, who had always been quiet, to take the initiative to mention this.
But after he said this, Skylar felt very upset. It was not that she was afraid that her role would be snatched away, so she rushed to film. She did this because she was threatened by Xandra.
“I know.” Skylar replied coldly.
James put down the script and looked at her. “It’s common for actors to change their roles, but there are rules for everything. You have already signed a contract with the production team. If the Dahua replaced you, it would not make sense.”
James was not an artist of the Dahua on this matter, so he naturally stood on Skylar’s side. He had picked up the movie because of Skylar. If the female lead suddenly changed to Arya, it might affect the final result. This male lead would also be implicated by her.
In this circle, everyone was selfish.
People were very selfish.
“Thank you.” Skylar stood up and did not want to continue. The more she said, the easier it was to say something wrong.
She went back to the dressing room and prepared to put on her makeup. She saw the magazine on the coffee table. The cover was Arya’s interview during the WM commercial.
Just by looking at it, Skylar felt that this woman was very beautiful. Moreover, the things in her eyes were very moving…
Now that the outside world was full of suspicion, Arya was probably the most innocent person. It was just that everyone had their own difficulties.
Sometimes, actors did not have the ability to resist. Every step they took would depend on the expressions of others. They painstakingly maintained their image in front of the screen and were afraid of their own star path. Especially for actresses, it was really difficult for them to make a name for themselves…
Step by step, Skylar walked from school to today. Outsiders could not imagine the suffering she suffered, so she threw the magazine aside.
Arya, if you want to blame, blame Xandra for her greed. It has nothing to do with me!
Chapter 345
Italy was the first country chosen by Clarissa for promotion.
Raul sent Arya to the hotel arranged by the company. It was already nine o’clock in the evening after all the procedures had been completed.
“I can go and eat by myself. You go and find Serena. She has been waiting for you for a long time.”
In order to facilitate the meeting with Raul, Serena’s hotel was booked on the same street. They could arrive in a few minutes on foot.
Raul knew that this was Arya’s good intention. He smiled and nodded, “Okay, but you must be careful. No matter what happens, you must contact me.”
“Understood. Go quickly, Director.” Arya shook her phone.
This was not Raul’s first time traveling with Arya. He knew that she was always careful when doing things, so he picked up his phone and walked out of the hotel.
However, a few people followed them after they got off the plane.
They were the paparazzi of the Captureit Studio.
They were very obsessed with Arya’s scandal. They were the ones who provoked Skylar’s fans and Arya’s fans on the Internet. This was part of Xandra’s deal with Stanley.
These paparazzi took Xandra’s money. Of course they had to do things seriously.
“Boss, Raul has left. Right now there is only Arya in the hotel room. Do you want to follow?”
The paparazzi specially booked the room next to Arya’s and even took the risk to install a listening device on Arya’s windowsill. Of course, these devices were bought with Xandra’s money.
“You, go with Raul. The rest of you follow me to continue guarding the hotel.”
Raul did not go to the hotel to look for Serena because Serena had not finished filming and due to the weather, the shooting was delayed by two hours. So Raul had been waiting outside the film.
After Serena finished her work, she saw that it was almost midnight. She quickly called Raul back and told her manager why she did not remind her earlier.
It was just that there was no signal at the film studio.
When Serena walked out with her phone, she saw Raul standing at the door with a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
“You…” Serena happily pounced over and hugged him.
“Is the work over? Are you tired?”
Serena shook her head, “I’m not tired. As long as I can see you, I can persevere no matter how tired I am.”
Ever since Arya told her that Raul would be here on a business trip, she was so happy that she could not sleep.
“Arya still understands me. She knows that I already miss you crazily, so she especially brought you to my side.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she was wrapped in Raul’s arms and kissed her lips hard.
“How much do you miss me?”
“I miss you especially…” Serena’s eyes were misty as she lifted her arms and hooked them around Raul’s neck.
Raul smiled and lowered his head to kiss her until Serena could not breathe. Only then did he let go of her, “Let’s go and take you to have supper.”
Serena held his hand in satisfaction. She nodded and agreed. Then, they got into the car and left together.
They were immersed in the joy of reunion. No one noticed the paparazzi who were secretly taking photos in the dark.
“I didn’t expect that there would be an unexpected harvest?” The paparazzi looked at the photos taken by the camera and called Stanley to report with a smile.
This kind of lingering photos was definitely fierce!
Especially when the surrounding lights were dim, their movements could be said to be very ambiguous…
The paparazzi immediately returned to the hotel and took the photos to Stanley to claim credit. “They had a scandal before, I didn’t expect it to be true!”
Stanley was very excited when he saw the photos. “I knew it. These cheap women are all wastrels. This Serena had just been abandoned by her boyfriend who she had been in love with for many years. She turned around and got together with Raul. What a b * tch!”
Stanley scolded fiercely. The paparazzi beside him did not feel anything wrong. “This is something they wanted to do. How are we going to deal with these photos now?”
Xandra only hired us to chase after Arya. This time, taking photos of Serena and Raul is our bonus. We need to make good use of these photos and make our studio famous. This kind of slut is used to make use of it.” Stanley already had a plan in his heart. As for Arya, her good days were about to come to an end.
“No wonder Arya and Serena can become good friends. The two of them are really lowly together.” After saying that, the paparazzi said excitedly, “How about we extort them ruthlessly!”
In order to prevent their relationship from being exposed, Serena and Raul would definitely be willing to spend a lot of money to buy these photos.
Just as he finished speaking, he was glared at by Stanley.
“Are you crazy about money? In this situation, we are afraid that Allen and the people of Dahua will find us. That’s why we have been hiding. Do you want to tell Allen where you are now?”
Xandra was the one who had helped them prepare fake identities for the successful shooting. Otherwise, Allen’s men would have already killed them.
Trying to extort them now was basically asking for death.
Raul and Serena spent the night together. The next day, they went to the hotel to see Arya.
Seeing the two of them appear with their fingers tightly clasped, Arya smiled and said, “It’s so hard to be irreconcilable…”
Serena did not hold back. Instead, she tightened his grip on Raul’s arm. “We’ve been eating your and Director Jones’s candy for so long. It’s time for us to give out the candy.”
“Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
“My manager will accompany you on your trip today. Raul will be given to me.”
Arya looked at them with a smile. “Didn’t I bring him here to serve you?”
Her words were full of smiles and ambiguity.
The three of them went to eat breakfast together. Arya went back to her room to rest and prepared to go to the promotional scene.
Stanley, who was in the next room, had already stared at Arya for the entire night. He originally thought that she would not be able to endure the loneliness and find some wild man to mess around with. However, after a whole night, there was not a single movement in Arya’s room.
Other than calling Allen…
Now everyone knew that she was Allen’s girlfriend and Allen was also her manager, so there was no problem with their conversation.
When Stanley was listening to their conversation, he was touched by their loving words.
“Allen, when I was having breakfast today, Serena and Raul showed their PDA again. They are so sweet.”
“Then I will let Raul come back to the country now.”
“Haha, then Serena will fight me to the death.” Arya laughed. Her tone was full of longing for Allen. “It has only been a day and I have already started to miss you.”
“You must work hard in China. Remember to eat on time. Don’t work overtime because of the movie.”
“Okay. Why are you acting like a child today?”
“Don’t you treat me like a child and pamper me?”
“Okay, of course it’s good… I’ll work hard and wait for you at home.” Allen said.
“Yes.”
Chapter 346
No, it must be Arya who was trying to numb Allen. It was impossible for her to endure the loneliness!
Stanley was sure that Arya must be a slut.
On the other hand, Stanley’s paparazzi posted a post on the Internet in the name of Captureit Studio. There were a lot of photos of a man and a woman kissing and flirting in the parking lot.
Someone immediately recognized them.
The Artist Director of the Dahua, Raul Chen, and Serena Hicks, the artiste under Dahua!
Not long ago, they were still being spread on the Internet. Originally, this kind of news was not fresh. Because they were originally from a company, the artistes were filmed together with Artist Director. Most of them were paparazzi who were daydreaming… But this time, the scale of the photos was too big. First, they kissed in the parking lot, then they went to the car…
The two of them didn’t know what would happen when they returned to the hotel!
At the end of the thread, the Captureit Studio attached a news link that she was hurt by her old boyfriend. They found out that Serena had been raped by a scumbag man and said to be pregnant. In a short one month’s time, she had been cut off from her old love, who was in a state of extreme love, and thrown into the arms of the Artist Director.
“Serena must have been putting on a show at that time. She must have deliberately tarnished her ex- boyfriend in order to be with Raul. Otherwise, she would have been scolded!”
“I want to see the explosive picture of them returning to the hotel!”
“Raul is the Artist Director of the Dahua, and he hooked up with the artistes under the company. Tsk tsk. The atmosphere of the Dahua is going to be ruined by the two of them.”
“Raul probably loves her very much. He can also have a taste of a woman who has been slept by others countless times.”
“Stop showing these pictures. They are too shameless.”
When the Dahua received the news, they immediately sent people to public relations. However, the problem had come. Originally, the news would have been handled by Raul as the Dahua’s Artist Director, but now he was one of the people involved. Would anyone believe what he said?
In the future, the public relations of the Dahua would also be unconvincing.
Martin looked at the silent Allen beside him, not knowing how to report.
Allen immediately noticed the name of the workshop that released these news.
Captureit?
His eyes were filled with a deadly chill. It seemed that those people wanted to disappear from this circle forever.
“Contact Clarissa first, change Arya’s hotel, and then control the media and public opinion.” Allen paused for a moment and said, “Prepare a list of candidates for the new Artist Director.”
“Change Raul?”
“It’s better for him to handle this matter himself. No matter what the outcome is, he is not fit to be in this position anymore.”
“What about this studio?”
“Go and check all the information about Stanley immediately. I want him to learn how to write the word regret.”
Martin nodded. He turned around and walked out of the office, but he was worried about Raul. He was going to lose his job because of the exposure of the studio.
“President, Raul is actually very capable…”
Allen looked up at him but did not say anything.
Martin was shocked and didn’t say anything else.
After that, Allen dialed Arya’s number. Arya did not know what had happened in the country. She had been working all day.
“Martin has already helped you change a hotel. Go back and pack up. Someone will help you carry your luggage over.”
“What’s wrong? What happened?” Arya asked while drinking water in the lounge.
“Change the hotel first. I will call you later tonight.” He was afraid that Arya would be more worried if he could not explain clearly now.
After Arya hung up the phone, she thought about it and felt that something was not right. What would happen at this time to make Allen put down the shooting of the Memory Fragment and rush over.
Arya could only contact Luna and ask if there was anything she did not know.
“Haven’t you received the news yet?” Luna asked back. She had been harassed by the reporters a long time ago. Because Arya and Serena were close, Luna’s phone was almost blown up by the reporters.
“No, what is it?”
“I… I don’t know what to say. You watch the news.” Luna sighed and hung up the phone to send Arya the latest news link.
After Arya saw it, she was stunned.
Once the trip was over, she immediately went to Serena’s hotel to look for them. When Arya rushed over, she saw Raul and Serena sitting in the room in silence.
“You guys…”
“Take care of her. I will make a call.” Raul saw Arya coming and immediately got up to go out.
Arya knew that he must contact the company, so she nodded and said, “Okay, I will accompany her. You go quickly.”
At this time, Serena was in a chaotic state. Her expression was dull, “What should I do? What can I do? I can’t just watch his life be ruined by me…”
She covered her face in pain and cried.
Arya quickly hugged her. “No, it’s not your fault. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have let Raul come over.”
“It’s not your fault. We just have a normal relationship. It’s not like we broke anyone’s relationship. Why are they still not willing to let me go?” Serena could not stop crying.
Arya quietly hugged her and gently stroked her back.
“I understand Director Jones’s style of doing things. He will definitely replace Raul and not let him be the center of Dahua again, right?”
“Arya, help me. I cannot watch Raul be destroyed by me. As long as I can resolve this matter and make me give up anything, I am willing to do it! I cannot let him get hurt.”
“You don’t have to give up anything!”
Arya’s eyes turned red as she grabbed Serena, “You just need to take care of yourself. That’s enough.”
Serena had never changed. She could still risk her life for love.
“No, I do not want him to be ridiculed because of me…”
Raul heard Serena crying at the door after he made the call. At that moment, his heart tightened.
In the past, Serena, whom he knew, had always been a proud and elegant woman. She would never be beaten down by anything. She had been able to endure so many years of love injuries. Now, she was only crying because he was laughed at and for his reputation.
Raul calmed down and walked into the room.
He stood in front of Serena and helped her up. Arya knew they had something to say, “Martin will help me change my room. Your room will also be changed. I will go to the front desk to settle the formalities.”
Raul calmly hugged Serena and gently patted her back, “Just treat your tears as venting. Don’t cry anymore. I will feel heartache.”
Chapter 347
“I’ve been an Artist Director of the Dahua for so many years, and my level is still within my control. Trust me.”
Serena raised her head, her eyes filled with tears.
Raul’s heart felt as if it was pricked by a needle. He nodded gently, “The matter will be resolved very soon.”
“Really?”
“Of course. It’s just that I won’t be Artist Director anymore.” Raul held her hand and sat down beside the bed. He felt sorry for her as he massaged her shoulders.
Ever since Serena heard this news, she had been in a state of collapse. She had expended a lot of energy.
“But…”
“Director Jones has given the latest order. He has transferred me to be in charge of training public relations personnel behind the scenes to be the star planner. I am now the Vice President of Dahua.”
Serena did not expect things to develop like this. She could not help but feel happy for Raul, “Really?”
“Will I lie to you?” Raul sighed and touched her cheek. He carefully wiped away the tears. “So, Eldest Miss, you really don’t need to cry anymore.”
Serena nodded. “Okay, I won’t cry anymore.”
“Let’s go to another hotel and rest for a while. Let Arya rest assured and then we will take the first flight back to the country tomorrow morning.”
Raul squatted on the ground and helped her put on her shoes. “It’s just that we can’t separate anymore. Do you understand? In this life, I will never let you go.”
Serena smiled. “Even if you let me go, I will not leave you.”
Raul’s eyes were slightly moist. “Serena, you are the bravest woman I have ever seen. No matter what you experience, you can face it bravely. This time, it is the same. And you have me by your side.”
Serena nodded solemnly and handed her hand to Raul.
She believed that everything would be fine after the rain.
Wasn’t this how Arya walked over step by step?
After Arya completed the procedures and knew their plan, she immediately called Allen. But before she could say anything, there was already a response from the other side, “I have already helped you book a plane ticket. Tomorrow morning, both of you will return home together. I’ve already arranged for Clarissa’s side.”
“Allen!”
He understood her personality. No matter if it was for Luna, Justin or Serena, as long as they were friends by her side, she would do anything to protect them.
That was why Allen had arranged everything in advance, because he knew Arya would not stand by and do nothing.
“I don’t want to see the words Captureit Studio anymore.”
“Yes, I will pick you up at the airport tomorrow. I will make the arrangements when the time comes.”
“Alright, see you tomorrow.” At this time, of course, they had to be united.
In the end, the three of them took the flight back to China together. Arya had to stay by Serena’s side as her most solid backing.
…
“Currently, the famous movie star Serena and Dahua’s Artist Director Raul’s flight has arrived at the international airport. As far as we know, Serena recently has an advertisement shoot trip overseas and is very busy with work. The reason why they returned to the country this time should be because of the hot kiss incident in the parking lot. The fact that they chose to return together means that they have decided to publicly announce their relationship.”
“The Dahua has yet to give a clear response! Right now, the reporters are waiting in the airport lobby, waiting for first-hand information.”
After Arya got off the plane, she did not leave with Raul and Serena. Instead, she left through the ordinary passageway at the side. The reporters’ attention was all on them. No one noticed that Arya had also returned to the country.
She got into the car that Allen parked outside and left from the helipad.
Then, she used the car television to watch the latest news in the airport.
She had experienced such a scene before.
About ten minutes later, Raul escorted Serena out of the terminal. However, the reporters had already noticed them and surrounded them.
Serena was tightly protected by Raul. Even in such a crowded situation, Raul did not let go of her hand.
The reporters took pictures of the two of them and passed the microphone to them.
“When did you two get together?”
“As the Artist Director of the Dahua, you’ve had many situations like this in public relations. Isn’t today also a show? ”
“Serena has just experienced a very unpleasant emotional injury. Do you not mind at all?”
The reporters’ questions were getting more and more outrageous. They kept asking questions about Serena’s emotional injury.
“Serena, do you still have contact with your ex-boyfriend?”
“Why are you guys together? Is it a show arranged by the company or do you guys get what you need?”
“Right now, the entire internet is scolding Serena for her lousy shoes. Regarding this, what do you think, Mr. Raul?”
Hearing these words, Raul immediately stopped and took one of the microphones. His gaze was especially fierce, “Please apologize for what you just said. Why do you treat a woman who has been hurt before like this? I love her. That’s why I’m with her. It has nothing to do with any hype. Is that enough? If you attack her here again, I’ll sue you legally!”
“To you, her past is a piece of news. To me, it is her injury and mine. If someone uses the past as an article, I won’t let it go. ”
“Also, as the Artist Director of the Dahua, More than once, I made it public that as a media, you’re responsible for what you say. What are your actions now? Cyber violence? Don’t tell me you guys have never been injured by scum before? Because Serena is a public figure, do you guys have to bear your perverted eyes?”
“I am warning you guys for the last time, stay away from my fiancée!”
When Raul said these words, he kept his hand on Serena’s hand.
Serena looked at Raul’s side profile and tears uncontrollably flowed down her face.
She never thought that one day when they were really interviewed by these reporters, she would be tightly protected by this man. Every word he said touched Serena’s heart.
After that, Raul continued to hug Serena and led her out of the reporters’ encirclement. No matter what the price was, he would not allow those reporters to hurt a single finger of hers.
The Dahua had already arranged a car outside. There were bodyguards accompanying them. When they saw Raul and Serena come out, they immediately opened the car door and brought them out of the airport.
The reporters wanted to continue chasing them, but there were many fans and passersby who supported them. They used their cars to block the road and stopped the reporters.
Although the world had become transparent because of the Internet, resisting Internet violence was the justice that everyone wanted to uphold.
Why would there always be people who would treat women maliciously? Why would those reporters only expose other people’s privacy? Serena was the victim. Why did those reporters still chase after her and scold her?novelbin
She just wanted to pursue happiness that belonged to her.
Chapter 348
Whether it was when the photos were exposed or when they were surrounded by reporters at the airport, Raul held her hand and protected her.
Serena’s tears flowed down her cheeks. She never thought that she would be protected by a man like this one day. It was him who defended her against the smoke in front of her predicament.
“Don’t cry.”
Serena nodded heavily. There were still tears in her eyes, but she firmly trusted the man in front of her. “I believe that you will protect me well, just like how Director Jones protected Arya.”
“We are only doing our best to protect the woman we love. No matter what price we have to pay, we will do it.” Raul’s voice was very firm and powerful.
Serena fell into his arms and tugged at his sleeves with tears in her eyes.
“It’s okay. We’re going home soon. Everything will be fine.”
When their car drove out of the airport road, Allen and Arya’s car also followed them. Arya saw that things had developed to this point and was sincerely happy for Serena. Because from now on, Serena would no longer need sharp armor to equip herself, instead, she could completely trust the man who deeply loved her.
Arya sighed with emotion and said to Allen, “It seems that the people of Dahua are very loyal.”
“Melisa is also among them?” Allen raised his eyebrows slightly.
“Other than her…” Arya took a deep breath and looked at the street outside the window. She slowly said, “Hubby, I admire you more and more…”
“I can see it.”
Arya’s expression had already explained everything.
“But will those reporters stop just like that?” Arya frowned, “Today, although Raul protected Serena and left safely, no one knows what will happen tomorrow. The traces of those photos have not been completely removed.”
“The matter will be slowly resolved. Don’t worry. I have given full authority to Raul to handle this matter.” Allen turned the steering wheel and the car drove towards the direction of Dahua.
Arya did not say anything else because she knew that Raul would not let Serena get hurt. In this world, there will always be someone to shield you from the wind and rain. Perhaps he had not come yet, but it did not mean that he would never come. novelbin
Very quickly, they walked into the Dahua. Raul had already made preparations for the follow-up.
Serena was pulled into the meeting room. There were two VCRs and the corresponding recording equipment placed opposite their seats.
“This is…” Serena was a little puzzled.
Raul turned back and smiled at her, indicating for her to sit down. Then he turned on the microphone in front of him and gave the photographer a look.
Then, he said, “I am Artist Director of the Dahua, Raul Chen. In the past few years, I have worked for the public relations of the Dahua’s artistes many times. But this is the first and last time I have used this method.”
“Today, I want to explain three things.”
“Firstly, Serena and I are indeed dating and our relationship has been confirmed for some time. I am ready to propose to her.”
“Secondly, as a public figure, we apologize for the negative influence we have brought to the public. The people in those photos are indeed us. However, no matter what the photos are taken, it is our personal privacy. Here, I request Captureit work to publicly apologize to us.”
“Thirdly, since things have developed to this point, it is not suitable for me to take on the role of Artist Director of Dahua. Therefore, I have already submitted my resignation letter and ready to resign from the position of Artist Director and Public Relations Director of Dahua. The company will announce my work arrangements to the public.”
“Every word that I said today represents Serena and me. I only want to show the Captureit Studio that I will seek legal responsibility. You have violated the privacy of others, exposed the photos, and tarnished the reputation of my fiancée. Whether it is in terms of law or morality, I will pursue it to the end!”
Raul’s words were reasonable and logical. He admitted his relationship with Serena and apologized. In the end, he made a firm stand. He would never let the Captureit Studio go, because their actions were so vile that it made people’s hair stand on end.
After the recording was done, the cameraman of the Dahua and a few of the staff present felt that this method of handling was too serious.
He really wanted to resign?
“Director, are you really going to resign?”
“This video…”
“Now, immediately, post it!” Raul said directly.
“Don’t you want to think about it? Once it’s made public, there’s no turning back.”
It wasn’t easy for Raul to step into the Artist Director position of the Dahua.
“I’ve decided.” Raul said firmly and walked to Serena’s side.
The staff had no choice but to follow his instructions and release the video to the Dahua’s official account.
In just an hour, the number of forwarding and broadcasting exceeded a million.
Compared to the despicable behavior of the Captureit Studio, Raul openly admitted that Serena was his fiancée. His words were all to protect Serena and to make the Captureit Studio apologize!
This kind of action was enough to turn the situation around.
The netizens all left comments below the video to discuss this matter.
“I feel that they are not wrong at all! Could it be that after a failed relationship, they can’t love others anymore? After a man loses his love, he will fall in love again. When a woman falls in love again, it will be a pair of broken shoes?”
“That pair of dog tags, please go further away!”
“This kind of man is too cool. For the sake of the woman you love, you dare to say that you dare to do it! ”
“Those paparazzi do all sorts of shady business for fame and traffic!”
“Where are the people from the Captureit Studio? Come out, aren’t they very smug when they send the photos? Now that they have been counterattacked, none of you dare to show yourselves.”
The moment the photos were exposed, the first thing Raul thought about was Serena’s position. In the process of dealing with the whole incident, he had taken care of Serena’s reputation as the most important thing. He had shifted the hot topic of discussion to the paparazzi of Captureit Studio.
He took the initiative to take all the responsibility and apologized to the outside world…
The photos, he admitted.
Love, he also admitted it.
It had a negative impact on the public and he was willing to resign to settle it.
Then there was only one problem left. Could it be that the Captureit Studio who secretly filmed their privacy shouldn’t take responsibility?
I am openly dating, why are you taking my private photos?
Raul used the simplest and most direct method to change the direction of the netizens’ heated discussion.
After Raul released the video announcement, the Dahua’s artistes stood up to support Raul and Serena!
Why should the artistes be monitored everywhere? There was no room for private life!
Those paparazzi had committed evil deeds for money, regardless of how they hurt others. They should be stopped!
Chapter 349
Are there not many artistes in the entertainment industry who are forced into a corner by paparazzi filtering their privacy and suffering from depression or even taking drugs to commit suicide?
“In order to become famous, those paparazzi took photos of everything! Staying at the door of the artist’s house every day is like a peeping tom!”
“We like artists, but we have to respect their personal privacy. Otherwise, what’s the difference between them and perverts?”
Other than the netizens who supported them, there were also many other artists who stood out and voiced out. They stood on the united front line of the anti-paparazzi team with the common hatred of the netizens.
There were media outlets who organized the artistes who had been secretly filmed by the paparazzi and were hurt. Serena, who had been exposed by the Captureit Studio, was among them!
“Celebrities can’t fall in love? So what if they have intimate actions in the parking lot?”
“Serena was hurt by a man, so she can’t fall in love with other men anymore? Do you guys want her to be lonely for the rest of her life before you guys are happy?”
“Where is that trash workshop? When are they going to apologize?”
“I really hate paparazzi. A lot of good artistes were taken away by paparazzi because they were secretly filmed!”
“Does anyone know about this studio? Hurry up and dig it out. Everyone boycott them!”
When someone made such an appeal, Allen pushed the boat along and asked Martin to upload the information they had on the internet.
Later on, one of the submersible accounts on a certain forum claimed to be someone who knew about the situation. He sent out real information about the Captureit Studio and pointed out that the chief editor of the Captureit Studio was called Stanley Ward.
In this era, all-powerful netizens were always able to make new discoveries.
Following that, Stanley had divorced many times and developed a hatred towards women. After he became a paparazzi, he had chased after female stars many times…
“Pervert!”
“No wonder his ex-wives divorced him. This kind of man has a problem with his mentality. He’s paranoid!”
“Does this count as a type of mental illness? Can there be any organization to arrest him?”
Initially, the Captureit Studio had exposed Raul and Serena’s relationship. They wanted to use this opportunity to make a name for themselves in the studio, but they did not expect their plan to be completely destroyed by Raul’s counterattack.
As the situation became more and more intense, the Dahua official released a public appointment letter. It indicated that during the time Raul became the Dahua’s Artist Director, his outstanding public relations and business ability had contributed a lot to the Dahua. Therefore, after a vote by the board of directors, Raul was officially appointed as the vice president of the Dahua. Because the Dahua was a company that focused on the character and ability of its employees, it wouldn’t erase the value of anyone just because of rumors.
This was not what Allen said alone. It was publicly acknowledged by the higher-ups and directors of Dahua that they needed a talent like Raul.
So…
Not only did Stanley’s scheme fail, it also became the help of Raul’s promotion. It also secretly helped their relationship.
At this time, Serena had already walked out of the haze of being exposed and attacked. She was sitting at home with Noah watching cartoons.
But the news on her phone caught her attention. Serena’s eyes could not help but tear up.
When Noah saw that she was crying, he immediately handed her a tissue and gently wrapped his small hand around Serena’s shoulder. He patted her softly, “Don’t cry…”
The child’s voice was soft and sweet, warming Serena’s heart.
She suddenly smiled and tightly hugged Noah, “You are really a good baby for father and mother…”
Although she did not officially receive a certificate, Serena was already used to this new role.
She thought that she would need a long time to get out of her emotional pain, but… ever since she was with Raul, she had received a lot of comfort from him. It was Raul who gave her the courage to face her life in the future.
No matter what happened, she would firmly hold his hand.
The situation quickly changed. All the information about the Captureit Studio was exposed online. A few employees were worried that the Dahua would find trouble with them after the matter was exposed, so they left overnight.
They were still in the workshop. There were only three people left in the workshop: Stanley, Zelda, and a paparazzi who had nowhere to go.
Zelda knew that things had developed to this point, and they did not expect it. “Originally, with Xandra’s support, your studio could come back to life, and you could also get a large sum of money according to the agreement. But you must be so greedy!”
“Who is not good to shoot? Why do you have to shoot the Dahua’s medicinal Artist Directors?”
“Why do you want to publicize his private life photos?”
“I finally understand. You have come this far in your life. You can’t blame anyone. It’s all your own fault!”
Zelda took out the things she had packed and stood up. “We are not the same kind of people, but let me give you a piece of advice. Don’t go against the Dahua again. You can’t beat Allen Jones. No one can hurt the people he wants to protect.”
“The good situation has been destroyed by you!”
She sneered and walked out with a mocking smile.
The huge studio was empty at this moment…
Stanley pulled his hair hard. He could not tell what kind of feeling he had in his heart. Was it painful? Was he going to collapse?
The only thing that made his body more painful was what happened later.
A few minutes later, more than a dozen men with iron rods rushed into the workshop. They raised their iron rods and punched and kicked Stanley. When he was beaten until he could not stand up, one of them spat on the ground.
“Miss Briggs asked us to tell you to get as far away as you can from here on out!”
“If she sees you again, she will kill you!”
The position of the Vice President of Dahua had been vacant for four months. Xandra originally wanted to use this opportunity to enter the Dahua and use her father’s shares to grasp a portion of the power, but because of Stanley… all of it was destroyed.
Because Raul had made a lot of contributions to the company, plus he was indeed very capable, so when Allen put him in an important position, the directors quickly agreed.
Therefore, Xandra felt that Stanley was an out-and-out idiot.
In the next few days, Stanley was like a rat on the street. He lived a life of hiding in the dark. He did not dare to go to the hospital, nor did he dare to go to any bus stations or public places like the airport.
Raul’s public words for Serena and the strong attitude of the Dahua had affected the reporters and paparazzi. Therefore, other than the fans of the Dahua, Xandra, Stanley and Skylar also had to avoid the attacks of his peers.
If it were not for him, the other paparazzi would not have fallen to the bottom of the valley all of a sudden.
There were also people who met Stanley on the street and posted his miserable appearance on the Internet.
“This is what that scumbag deserves!” Luna looked at the photos and threads and smiled at Arya.
Arya glanced at them and said lightly, “In the name of Serena and me, send him some money.”
“Why?” Luna did not understand what Arya said.
Chapter 350
Clearly, it was that scumbag who wanted to die. He had caused so much trouble and caused Arya and Serena to be criticized by the outside world. Now that they did not hit him, it was already merciful enough. They still wanted to give him money?
“Sometimes, being given charity by his enemy would instead make him feel more pain. Compared to the pain in his body, it was more painful. The pain in his heart… is the most unforgettable.” Arya poured the flowers as if nothing had happened and said in a light tone.
Luna thought about how she felt when she was bullied until she knelt down and was slapped. She immediately understood what Arya meant.
“Okay, I will do it immediately.”
Very quickly, someone secretly put a clean set of clothes on the floor outside the Captureit Studio’s door, as well as some medicine and a few hundred yuan.
Stanley was wrapped in a shabby windbreaker. When he saw these things, he was stunned.
He also saw a business card in his clothes…
Someone actually reached out to help him when he was in trouble?
Stanley sat in the darkness for a long time. Finally, after dawn, he dialed the number on the business card.
“Hello…”
“I’m very happy to receive your call. We need people like you to be our cameraman and video recorder. We don’t want you to be a paparazzi. How about it? Think about it!” The other party’s attitude was full of goodwill.
At this moment, he even threw an olive branch at Stanley. This was the only card he had.
“I want to know who asked you to help me?”
“I have no comment on this. No matter who it is, the most important thing for you right now is to live.”
When Stanley heard this, his originally dim eyes finally showed some spirit. “Okay, I agree!”
“The address is on the business card. Come over.”
Luna hung up the phone happily. She really wanted to know how colorful Stanley’s expression would be when he found out the truth.
“Will he faint because he can’t take the blow?”
Arya only smiled and did not say anything. She continued to play with the flowers and plants in the house.
As it was approaching the end of the year, Arya’s journey was almost complete. The follow-up work had to wait for Mr. Jones to arrange.
“I heard that Serena is getting married?” Luna smiled and said, “She must be very happy now…” novelbin
“Yes, they are already preparing to fly to Australia. Their wedding only invited a few good friends from Dahua’s artistes. It is very simple but very warm.” Arya’s voice was very calm but carried a deep meaning.
“The wedding is just a ceremony. The most important thing is that the two people who participated in it truly love each other. That is enough.”
Serena had already received Raul’s sincere love. Even if it was just a simple ceremony, she would still say that I am willing.
“Raul’s counterattack this time is really too cool! When the time comes, will you and the boss attend their wedding?”
“Of course.”
She also wanted Stanley to be one of the cameramen. She wanted him to open his eyes and take a good look. In this world, is there any true love?
…
The news of Raul fighting back against the paparazzi had long since become the news on the Internet.
Furthermore, no one questioned his relationship with Serena anymore. They all held a kind of blessing attitude and waited for their wedding date to approach.
Raul had formally proposed to Serena at home. His son, Noah, was their witness.
Hearing his words full of affection, “Let’s get married”, Serena’s hot tears filled her eyes. She hugged Raul tightly and agreed.
She only invited one good friend at the wedding. It was Arya. Raul completely respected her wishes on this point.
Soon, the guest list was made. There was also the matter of the wedding. Everything was decided by them together, and then Raul had full authority to execute it.
The wedding was set a week later. Although it seemed a little rushed, it was like what Arya said. It was a happy ceremony, not a show for anyone.
Those who did not think highly of their relationship before were all slapped in the face by their wedding news because Raul doted on Serena too much. So even if someone wanted to mess with them, they could not find a reason. Furthermore, Serena’s fans spontaneously formed a support group and sent many threads to bless Serena to find true love.
On the other hand, they set the wedding venue in Australia for a small celebration. However, the netizens were looking forward to the photos of their wedding because President of Dahua, Allen and Arya were on the list of invited guests. They were in the same frame. What kind of happy scene would it be?
During this period of time, Arya ended the promotional schedule for the Clarissa’s movie. She also got the endorsement of two international brands. It could be said that her career had entered a relatively stable period of promotion.
At this time, the shooting of “Memory Fragment” had also come to an end, especially for the female lead, Skylar. The complete filming date was the few days later after Serena’s marriage.
When Arya privately asked Director Bieber about Skylar’s performance, Bieber’s answer was very certain. Skylar was a very capable and outstanding actress who performed well. Her performance was impeccable.
However, no matter how Skylar performed, the person behind her did not care. Because of Stanley’s failure, that person was already preparing for the next step of her plan.
Why not let the people of Dahua enjoy the last of their revelry and give them a fatal blow after Allen and Arya attend Serena’s wedding?
…
Two days before she became the bride, Serena invited Arya to dinner together. It was the last night she was single.
However, the two men were not at ease. Although the paparazzi incident had come to an end, no one was sure if those people would continue to conspire.
So the dinner of the two sisters became a celebration for the four of them.
“Congratulations, bride-to-be!” Arya raised her champagne glass and blessed Serena with a smile.
“Thank you…” Serena wore a diamond ring on her finger and her face was full of happiness. She wanted to hold Raul’s hand forever and walk happily.
Arya saw her smile and felt very emotional. It was her honor to be able to witness their happy ending.
At this time, Allen held a thin blanket in his hand and gently draped it over her body. “The wind is cold at night.”
He was still as attentive and considerate as always.
Arya leaned into his embrace and his hand naturally wrapped around Arya’s shoulder. At this moment, fireworks suddenly lit up outside the window.
The two women revealed excited smiles at the same time.
Allen and Raul looked at each other. The two of them were really easily satisfied and the more they acted like this, the more they would cherish it.
Under the warm and beautiful sky, the two couples snuggled up to each other happily.
Allen held Arya’s hand and gently kissed her forehead.
Arya sweetly leaned into Allen’s embrace. She felt that everything had already been decided. When Serena got married, their love would have a home.
It was just that… her fate was about to stir up waves.
