LOVE OF A BILLIONAIRE Chapter 71-80


Chapter 71

Davina used her audition to get Caroline in the reality show, slandering her in front of Assistant Director Jason, letting her spiral to a rejected actress, taking advantage of her, using such malicious tactics ….

After Arya returned back to home, there would no chance for her to survive this and make a comeback.

If Arya didn’t know all this in advance, she would have been taken surprised.

What a meticulous plan!

They are going to pour all the muds on her head!

Compared to Davina’s ruthless schemes, Caroline was not as dreadful as her.

However, Arya was a veteran and she wasn’t someone to be targeted at.

Arya was confident in her abilities so she challenged Jason and Davina. She was also confident that the directing team would want her to represent East Asia in the reality show.

“Arya, do you still want to continue fighting over this now?”

Daniel frowned as he looked at Arya like a stranger. Not long ago, Arya would have listened to him and followed his instructions but now that was no longer the case. She had completely changed!

“That’s right, why would I have any objections if Jason and the other agree to your participation. After all, you are also an artist under Brilliant Entertainment and it won’t damage the company’s image.”

“That’s right, why would I have any objections if Jason and the other agree to your participation. After all, you are also an artist under Brilliant Entertainment and it won’t damage the company’s image.”

“Sister Davina!”

Caroline shouted as she could not bite her tongue any longer. She won’t have a chance if they were both in the same scene.

“Then it’s settled. With the tight schedule, if Jason hasn’t changed his mind by 8 o’ clock tomorrow morning, then we will arrange someone send to you back home.” Davina said calmly.

She was aware Jason always hung onto grudges. Since Arya embarrassed him in front of so many people, he definitely won’t allow Arya to participate in the show.

At least then, Arya won’t be their problem anymore.

“Remember what you said!” Arya stood up and left the conference room.

When the door closed, Caroline pulled Daniel aside and asked anxiously, “What do we do if Jason finds out we were the ones that spread the rumors? Then …” novelbin

“Shut up!” Davina snapped at her before Daniel could say anything. “Watch what you’re saying. Do you think this is your home and you can say whatever you like? Daniel, get her out of here!”

“Okay, sister.” Daniel did not dare to disobey Davina and quickly dragged Caroline away.

In the conference room, Davina’s expression became wicked. She called the hotel to have the cameraman meet with Arya first.

Once the scandal is exposed, Arya would have to lower her head!

However, the hotel staff told her that Arya had never checked-in and her room has been empty.

“What? How can that be possible?”

If she is not in the hotel then where is she?

Davina hung up the phone and immediately arranged someone to investigate Arya’s residence. They would know where she resides if they were to follow her.

Because Arya was not easy to deal with, the investigation did not go smoothly.

Chapter 72

At the manor.

Arya looked at the invitation that Allen handed out to her and smiled. “Are you worried about me again?”

“It’s no big deal. I just rescheduled the event a week earlier instead.” His profile was very charming.

It was a film exhibition hosted by Dahua branch. All attendees were renowned actors and professional directors in the industry. Arya did not need to be concerned about her marriage with Allen made public as artists under Davina’s umbrella were not qualified to attend.

“You’re always thinking of me.” She walked towards him and put her arms around Allen. She relaxed when she leaned on him.

“If I don’t think about you then who do you expect should I think of.”

Allen smiled as he lifted Arya’s chin. His deep gaze glazed her face. He caressed her eyes, nose and finally stopped at her rosy lips. He leaned forward and kissed her passionately.

A bit of invasion and possession, they immersed themselves in their passionate kiss.

When Arya was breathless, Allen reluctantly released her. Filled with disappointment, he took a deep breath to surpass his desire.

“If you weren’t busy tonight, I wouldn’t have let you go so easily.”

“Oh really? Then I should thank Mr. Jones for showing mercy to me …” Arya smiled sweetly and let go of his hand.

She liked their interactions together. They were intimate, respectful and supportive of each other. This was the ideal marriage. No one possessed the other but still being their most important person in the world.

Who else other than Allen, could give her such happiness?

“I will send someone to take you there. I won’t be appearing tonight. I’ll leave the matter up to you.”

Of course if Allen was at the exhibition, he would be the center of attention. He didn’t want to dominate the whole matter but only wanted Arya to have a fighting chance against Caroline, Daniel and Davina.

Of course if Allen was at the exhibition, he would be the center of attention. He didn’t want to dominate the whole matter but only wanted Arya to have a fighting chance against Caroline, Daniel and Davina. novelbin

With his reputation, if he was to say a word, the Directing team would not dare reject Arya.

However, Arya would not be satisfied with that outcome as she wanted to use her own abilities and stand on her own two feet.

“Alright.”

Arya kissed him back sweetly, her eyes filled with happiness. This man knows her heart and knew what she wanted.

In the evening, luxury cars started to fill up the parking lot.

Arya had bodyguards surrounding her. She walked slowly into the exhibition hall with the guidance of the event staff.

Arya wore light makeup, dressed in a silver evening dress that Allen specially prepared for her. The exquisite design of the dress showed her sexy figure perfectly. Paired with her hair accessory and

necklace, she looked like an angel that came down from above the clouds. Her expression was very calm and her attitude was graceful which attracted a lot of admiring gaze from everyone but she did not shy away from it.

“An Asian actress?”

“She looks very familiar. I can’t remember where I’ve seen her before. Who is …”

Arya’s appearance attracted a lot of attention. After all, she had once been awarded the best actress who attended red carpets of international award ceremonies and fashion weeks. The natural temperament she emanated was not something anyone could do.

But she retired for a few years and new faces showed up. Therefore, her face was now wrapped with a layer of mystery.

Just as everyone was speculating who she was, a voice was heard in the crowd.

“Arya!”

She turned her head towards the voice and saw Nasha pushing a few people aside who were blocking her way. She cheerfully walked over to Arya and hugged her. “What a surprise! I didn’t think I’d see you here! We haven’t seen each other in three years! How have you been?”

“I’ve been good. I’m sorry I arrived late.”

Arya smiled with a polite smile. She had always been very grateful to Nasha for her care and support. She is where she is today was mostly because of her extensive parts in the first few films working with Nasha. She walked this road on her own. If she chose the wrong path, she would have had a different outcome.

Since seeing Nasha and Arya were familiar with each other and hearing Nasha call out Arya’s name, many people started to recall the best actress from years ago.

“She’s the Chinese actress Nasha worked with before!”

“I remember the big blockbuster she was in that took ten years in the making.”

“Then later, she seemed to have retired and went back to her hometown. I didn’t expect I would see her again. She still looks so stunning. Is she planning to come back?”

Although all the guests were very curious about Arya, they all maintained their manners and did not disturb Arya’s conversation with Nasha. Expect one person, the assistant director Jason, who believed the rumors from Davina in the conference room and misjudged Arya.

Chapter 73

With his own eyes, Jason witnessed Arya’s beauty tonight. He also saw everyone including Nasha’s attitude towards Arya.

Suddenly, a movie poster he once saw popped into his head. How could he forget such a thing?

“You’re the one! You were the main heroine in the movie ‘Ritu’s Old Clothes’!” He slapped his forehead and realized his stupidity.

“Jason, this is the actress that I mentioned to you before, a star that has been silent for three years.”

“But you never told me her name!” Jason was full of regret.

Nasha had mentioned to him many times that if she had the chance to work with a Chinese director, she would try her best to invite Arya to participate, but she never once mentioned Arya’s name. Finally, the opportunity to work with Arya has arrived.

Otherwise, today he wouldn’t have …

Nasha blinked. “That’s because Arya retired and I didn’t want to disturb her private life. Now she is back!”

Jason sighed deeply and took the initiative to apologize to Arya, “I’m sorry about what happened. I believed their slandering and misjudged you.”

Nasha frowned, not understanding why Jason is apologizing, “Arya, what happened?”

“It was just a small misunderstanding. I believe that Mr. Jason was unaware.” Even if she told Jason about her previous work in the morning, he would not have believed her. Whereas now, with so many

pair of eyes as witness and Nasha’s recommendation, Arya’s ability was no longer doubted.

“I have a lot of things I want to talk to you about. Let’s go inside.” Nasha smiled and hooked Arya’s arm, looking very close.

Jason remained where he was and gulped down his champagne. He nearly made a grave mistake. If Arya hadn’t appeared tonight, he would have missed such an opportunity to work with Arya. No thanks to Davina. How dare they deceive him.

He had to make up for his mistakes and save this situation. He couldn’t let the cast down by losing such a good actress.

Arya had a wonderful evening. She missed Nasha dearly. Before they bid farewell to each other at the fountain near the exhibition hall, Arya said, “Nasha, after all these years, I still remember your guidance and teachings. I look forward to our next collaboration. But right now, I still have some personal matters I need to settle so I can’t stay here long.”

“As long as you continue to keep acting, we will definitely see each other again.”

Nasha happily took her hand and said, “You’re grown and is more mature than before. I believe that you path will continue to go further.”

To exceed the status of receiving the best actress award, her future was limitless.

Arya smiled. She knew that if she wanted to reach her higher goal, she needed to work even harder.

Just as Arya was about to leave, Jason was waiting for her near her car.

“Miss Arya, I would like to discuss the filming with you again.”

“You made it very clear this morning you didn’t want me to participate.” Arya said honestly.

“No, that was my mistake, I made an error in judgment. As long as you are willing to participate in the filming, I am willing to agree to any condition!”

“Words cannot be absolutely agreed. What if I propose that only one Asian to appear in this show?” Arya asked in a firm and decisive manner.

“No problem, I can agree to that.” Jason nodded seriously.

“Alright then, I’ll see you tomorrow.” Arya got on the car that Allen sent to pick her up. Next is to wait for tomorrow’s drama to unfold.

Since they created the rumors, they would have to face the consequences of being found out. novelbin

Davina never thought in a million years Arya would have the chance to attend the film exhibition, much less she had let Jason know the truth.

Chapter 74

Arya received a call from Daniel as soon as she returned to the manor.

At first, she didn’t want to pick it up but after thinking about it, she decided to answer.

“Arya, Jason made it very clear this morning. He is the assistant director and since you failed to pass his stage, you don’t need to participate in the show anymore. I’ve already booked a flight for you to return home and have advised the company of your return. You will leave tomorrow morning.”

He spoke with relief as if a burden has been lifted.

“Why is he misunderstanding me? Did you not explain my previous works to him?” Arya snickered sarcastically.

“What is the point in explaining your previous work to him? We don’t know why he thinks that way. Anyway that’s the conclusion and everything has been organized. What are you waiting for? They only need one Asian actress now and that person is Caroline.” He had completely given up on Arya. Supporting Caroline is the only thing that mattered in his heart.

“Don’t be too full of yourself. I’m only doing what needs to be done. It doesn’t matter if you praise her or support her but don’t step on me.”

For so many years, wasn’t it enough they kept using me as a stepping stone?

As if Allen could read her mind, he walked over and reached out his hand to hold her hand gently, silently supporting her.

Daniel was blinded by fame and fortune. Ruthlessly crushing and taking advantage of Arya. Not even leaving a path for retreat!

“You’re really selfish. Your time in the spotlight have passed! What right do you have not to allow others to be popular? Choosing Caroline is the right choice. You’re not worthy of being my woman.”

Arya hung up the phone and took a few deep breaths to calm herself.

Allen stroked her back to comfort her.

“I guess I’m not as strong as I thought I was. I’m still disgusted that person.”

“It looks things went well?” Otherwise, Daniel wouldn’t have such a reaction.

“Yes, we met and talked a lot about the past. I’m very grateful for the opportunity.” Arya leaned on his shoulder naturally.

“It would’ve been perfect if you were by my side.”

Hearing her say that, Allen kissed her forehead, “There will be other opportunities.”

Arya hummed softly in acknowledgement.

“Your feet must be tired after walking in heels all night. Here, I’ll massage your feet for you.”

He held one of her foot in his hands and massaged it to help her to relieve the tension. Then he massaged the other foot.

Arya saw the document on the table he just read and stretched out her hand to massage his temple.

“How does the aloof Director Jones have a considerate side?”

“Perhaps it’s because he has a gentle wife who needs his care and attention.”

Arya hugged Allen tightly, “I seem to be getting more and more inseparable from you.”

In the morning Arya received a call from Davina requesting her to be present at the company. She said someone from the directing team will be over to sign the contract.

It seemed like Davina did not know the latest situation and Arya didn’t enlighten her. It was obvious Davina wanted to humiliate her again but this time, all her effort would be failed.

Caroline’s pregnancy was still not known publically and it couldn’t be delayed for too long. She needed to finish filming here as soon as possible, then return home to prepare for the best actress nominations. Her path was bright and Arya would definitely be defeated.

The conference room was very quiet when Jason opened the door. His shoes made a steady sound as he walked over the table. novelbin

“Jason, you are here! We have prepared the contract for you. You don’t need to worry, our Caroline will definitely give an excellent performance.” Davina said as she welcomed him with a smile.

“According to what happened yesterday, we have taken into consideration and also decided to not let Arya participate in the show since she is not qualified.”

Chapter 75

Jason raised his hand to stop Davina from speaking and sneered, “I’m not here to sign the contract but to inform you, the Directing Team has confirmed the Asian actress and it’s not Caroline.”

“What?”

Davina was flabbergasted.

“Jason, what do you mean? You saw Caroline’s audition video. She definitely has the ability …”

“That’s your version! The audition video was blurred. Are you sure it really was Caroline? Also, yesterday didn’t you say Arya is just an unpopular female celebrity who doesn’t have any ability or credits, and that she only made it to the top because of her shameless behaviors!”

Jason angrily threw the document folder on the table, “She was the one who won best actress award. She also happens to be Nasha’s good friend. So without stating the obvious, between Arya and Caroline, even a fool would know who to choose.”

“No …” Davina was speechless and could not refute.

“Enough of this, I have no objections to who you want to make popular. That’s your company’s business but I cannot forgive you for your deception!”

Jason slammed his fist on the table in anger. If Davina hadn’t interfered, he wouldn’t have misunderstood Arya and nearly lost an opportunity to work with such an amazing actress.

“But Caroline is already here, and we’ve been discussing this cooperation for so long. The filming is going to start soon, are you really going to replace her? Jason, considering the countless times we

have worked together in the past, don’t be merciless!” Davina was determined to change Jason’s decision.

Jason grunted, “Fine, it doesn’t matter if it’s one Asian female star or two, I can’t make that decision anymore, it’s up to that female star.”

“Okay, tell me who she is and I’ll convince her to film together with Caroline.”

Davina was confident that she could easily persuade anyone, but she never would have expected to see Arya walked into the conference room.

It’s her!

Jason was clearly angry at her yesterday, why did he ask her to come back?

Arya, you bitch!

Davina was extremely agitated. She turned to Daniel and murmured, “What’s going on?”

Arya should be on the plane back home right now.

Arya walked into the conference room in a calm expression.

“I don’t know …” Daniel replied and said with a frown, “Arya, we don’t have any business with you anymore. Get out of here!”

Arya had a faint smile but ignored Daniel. She walked up to Jason and shook his hand politely, “Good morning, Assistant Director.”

“Let me introduce you. This is Arya, who will be the one participating in ‘Behind the Scenes’ reality show.”

Jason said directly with his conclusion. He looked coldly at Davina, “She is also an artist of Brilliant Entertainment. Is co-operating with her good enough in saving your company’s name?”

Davina took a deep breath and swallowed the anger burning in her, “Of course, since the directing team have chosen Arya, we will definitely support her. Caroline and Arya are both artists in our company, so it’s only normal for them to work together, right, Arya?”

Chapter 76

She frowned and was constantly signaling Arya with her eyes. Brilliant Entertainment would be a laughing stock in the industry if Arya were to embarrass them in front of Jason.

Jason looked at Arya worriedly, “Do you need my assistance?”

When the time comes, it will come.

Arya had already anticipated Davina to have such a reaction. She said to Jason, “You’ve helped me a lot already. I can handle the rest. You can rest assured, I’ll definitely take part in the show.”

“Alright, I’ll wait outside.” Jason glanced at Davina meaningfully for a moment and left the conference room.

As soon as the door closed, Daniel raised his voice, “Arya, what is the meaning of this? Do you have to cause problems everywhere?”

Glaring at Arya and protecting Caroline behind him. “We are over. Even you said we can’t go back to past. Why do you keep insist on going against Caroline? Are you so jealous that you can’t stand to see her be better than you?”

“Jealous?”

Arya laughed and firmly said, “I’m just taking back what was rightfully mine. You can support Caroline all you want, I honestly could not care less. But clearly, by submitting a video of my audition was obvious fraud, you have violated my rights. To give you face, I didn’t tell Jason about this.”

“You!”

“I have done what I can but don’t expect me to be Caroline’s stepping stone forever.”

“Daniel, I am not as good as her. Let’s forget the whole thing and go home. I don’t want to win an award for best actress anymore. I just want to be with you.” Carline pulled Daniel while sobbing with a slight trace of jealousy in her eyes.

Daniel grinded his teeth in anger, “You don’t have to worry, I …” novelbin

“Enough!” Davina glared at Caroline fiercely. At this time, it could be clearly seen the magnanimity of her and Arya.

Arya already has the evidence of Caroline’s audition video was fake. If this truth be told, Caroline may never have a place in the entertainment industry, not to mention, the company’s reputation would be affected.

However, Caroline still unaware dire the situation was as she kept annoying Daniel. The situation back home was much worse because if Caroline’s schemes. She didn’t know whether Daniel made the correct choice to have chosen Caroline.

“Arya, you are, after all, also an artist under contract with Brilliant Entertainment. If you want to make a comeback, the company will not prevent you from doing so.” Davina pulled out a chair to sit down.

Her tone suddenly became very gentle and continued, “The thing is the company is promoting Caroline. So this reality show is just a stepping stone for her to become popular. You’ve been in the industry much longer than her, so why not help each other to be more popular? What do you say? It’s the best option for both of you to film together.”

“I’m not interested in being popular with Caroline.” Arya answered in calm manner, her gaze didn’t even waver.

Arya knew after the many times they have used her, they could not be reasoned without any benefits. So she glanced at the furious Caroline beside her and said softly, “It’s fine, I can agree to working with Caroline in the reality show but I have conditions.”

Davina smiled that was not a smile, “Okay, tell me your condition.”

“I’m just a retired actress who has been surpassed by the company for three years. I don’t have a say in my schedules. So from now on, my manager and assistant will only listen to me. I will decide what advertisement and films, I will take on. If you agree to this, I will try to persuade Jason to let Caroline participate in the reality show.”

As an artist, Arya was really courageous in negotiation these conditions with the company.

“If you don’t accept these conditions then forget I said anything. I don’t have anything to lose but can I say the same for you?”

Caroline always dreamed of the best actress title, but for such title, she needed popularity and acting skills. Her acting abilities can only be described as average but with her behind the scenes operation, she might have a fighting chance.

However, if she lost this opportunity to shoot the reality show, she might …

Chapter 77

“Arya, the company also have its policies. If every artist was like you then what is the point of having a managing company then?” Davina purposely retaliated, “At most, if there is any arrangements you oppose, the company will respect your wishes. We can discuss the other matters when we return home.”

Are hesitated for a moment, looked at Daniel and Caroline. She nodded reluctantly.

“One more thing, this will be the last time I have any filming relationship with Caroline. After we return home, I don’t want to be in any scenes with her.”

Arya refused to give them the opportunity to use her.

Davina leaned back on her chair, waved her hand. “Alright, that’s fine.”

Many people were eager to have their names in the tabloids, but Arya on the hand, didn’t want anything to do her, so what is she planning?

Davina watched Arya leave and sighed, “Daniel, keep a close eye on her.”

She had yet to see any artist successfully make a comeback in company, let alone Arya who only have two people by her side!

Sooner or later, Arya would realize her actions today were foolish. When that happens, the most popular actress in films and television will be Caroline!

Luna and Julia were in awe for Arya after the way she showed her spunk today.

Davina’s tactics were famous in the industry. When Arya was negotiating with her, there was no fear or nervousness and she managed to acquire special privileges.

Not only did she resolve the crisis of being jeopardized during filming overseas, she also negotiated to have the right to make her own decisions.

Arya was graceful and didn’t say anything that would humiliate them. The thing she wanted was now rightfully hers.

They were in the conference room ready to sign the supplementary agreement, with many witnesses present. The agreement will have the same legality as a contract the moment Arya signs it. Arya can then decline and reject any arrangements organized by Brilliant Entertainment. She would definitely never be used by Caroline again.

The reality show was the best chance for Arya to prove her worth. The years of studying and working behind the scenes have added strength to her performance. Caroline’s existence can be considered only as being part of the background. novelbin

She would use her ability to prove to everyone regardless of the time she has been gone from the limelight, her acting career was in her control.

After Arya explaining the situation to Jason, he could only looked at her with more admiration.

“This industry needs more professional actors like you. I look forward to working with you in this collaboration.”

“Thank you, I will do my best.” Arya wasn’t concern that Jason didn’t want to work with her initially as she knew how things worked in this industry.

Arya left the conference room together with Luna and Julia before Davina and the others did.

After that day, her relationship with Daniel became frosty. As she was imagining how bitter they were, Daniel sent her a message.

“This is the last message I’m sending you. I am very disappointed in you. You’re no longer the pure and kind Arya that I know. If you hurt Caroline again, I won’t let you off.”

Chapter 78

Arya had no intension of replying. She deleted the message and put the phone aside.

Luna looked at Julia and they both clapped simultaneously.

“Arya, we idolize you!”

“How are you able to act so calmly at that moment? I would have made Caroline admit her audition video was a fake in order to expose her. But you didn’t …” Julia said with emotion.

There have been many celebrities that were too impulsive but Arya’s choice was prudent. She not only preserved the opportunity to film but was able to get Davina compromise while paving a way for her future comeback. Everything was now within her reach.

Women that had beauty and were intelligent like Arya were rare to find.

“Today is a joyful day. For the many years I’ve been with the company, I’ve never like the way how they were so hypocritical, saying one thing to your face and doing another behind your back. When I think of Davina’s reaction today, I think I’ll be laughing in my dreams.”

Julian nodded in agreement, “Me too.”

She now completely stood by Arya and was ecstatic on her victory. “Next is tomorrow’s filming.”

Arya’s ability was evidently there, whereas, Caroline was an amateur with no chance of succeeding.

Luna browsed through the net and frowned, “Looks like Davina have arranged her team to hype things!”

The forums were filled with overwhelming posts made by trolls paid by Brilliant Entertainment. A lot of the discussions were more favorable towards Caroline and started to question Arya.

“Arya and Caroline are filming a reality show together? This is messed up! So the retired actress is making use of the mistress’s popularity.”

“Caroline is the top star in Brilliant Entertainment. She had all the connections, Arya cannot compare to her. Caroline must have felt sorry for Arya and decided to allow her to join the show.”

“Support Caroline!”

Arya glanced a few of them before turning her gaze away.

“It’s not only a hype. Brilliant Entertainment even made the show’s draft public. It makes Caroline out to be a fairy descending from the heavens.” Julia sulked, “Should we retaliate?”

“We’ll see what happens.” Arya put down the supplementary agreement and was engrossed in thought.

When the car stopped at the manor, she raised her head and saw Allen standing on the second floor balcony. His eyes were bright as the stars as he watched her.

“Julia, let’s head back to our rooms.” Luna signaled a wink to Julia and dragged her away.

Allen walked over to Arya as she as she changed her shoes.

“Are you tired?”

He gently stroked Arya’s hair, “I had the staff prepare some fish soup for you, it’s in our room. They also prepared their too, don’t worry.”

He took Arya’s hand in his and led her into their bedroom.

Arya looked at his broad back and immediately all uneasiness in her heart just disappeared.

“Allen, you …”

“I missed you.”

He turned around and embraced her tightly. He then kissed her passionately. After a while he reluctantly released her.

“Director Jones, are you trying to temp me with the fish soup?” novelbin

“Yes.”

He admitted and rested his head on Arya’s shoulder, breathing in her perfume. He pulled her towards an area near the window.

Seeing their supper on the small table, Arya leaned on his chest and grinned happily.

“Let’s eat first, then we’ll talk after.”

Allen ladled the fish soup in her bowl and placed the bowl in front of her. He then sat down, crossing his legs. He gazed at his wife warmly and asked, “Are you not going to consider terminating the contract with Brilliant Entertainment?”

Arya gawked, she knew what Allen was trying to say. Even if he is the most powerful person in the industry, there was some things he couldn’t do. He couldn’t protect her completely as long as she was still under contract with Brilliant Entertainment. Unfortunately, that is how it is.

“You don’t believe that I can get even?” Arya pouted at him deliberately.

Chapter 79

Allen sighed and nodded a second helping of rice for her, “You know what I mean. If you leave Brilliant, I …”

“Allen, I want to depend on myself.” Arya reached out to grab his sleeve.

“You’re so good to me that you are leaving your mark in my heart more and more. If there is a day you were to leave me, I won’t be able to bear it.”

“That is not something I see in our script. Even if there is, I’m not going to that happen.”

Allen said with absolute confidence as he gently held Arya’s hand. The soft touch made him feel nostalgic.

“Really?”

“When have I ever lied to you?”

He put his arms around her neck, his cold eyes filled with affection. Arya leaned on his shoulder softly and smiled flirtatiously, “Allen, you are tempting me to sin.”

“We’re already legally married. Whatever we do, it’s not a sin.” He said in low and raspy voice as he tried to straighten her out.

Their actions were more and more intimate. They were crazily obsessed with the sense of security they were giving each other.

The next morning, Luna woke Arya up.

“Arya, sign here.” She handed Arya an unknown contract.

Arya barely opened her eyes and asked in daze, “What is it?”

“Hurry up and sign it!” urged Luna.

Arya mumbled to acknowledge her. She grabbed a pen and just as she was going to sign it, two words on the first page caught her attention.

‘Bodyguard Agreement’

“This is?” She asked in astonishment, “What is this for?”

Luna giggled and explained to Arya the whole story.

“This is all Director Jones’s arrangement. You already had a showdown with the Parkers and you are now their target. Since for the time being, you are still staying at Brilliant Entertainment to humor them, this is for your protection. Your personal safety is most important!”

“That’s right. Although there is security provided by the company but it is far from ideal. These six elite bodyguards are recruited for you by Director Jones. They will provide you 24 hours a day protection.” Julia added.

“Is it really necessary?” Arya shook her head while she rolled her eyes. She got up and adjusted her pajamas and said, “I’ll go and speak to him.”

Allen was in the living room waiting for her.

“Allen, this really isn’t necessary, I can take care of myself.”novelbin

Allen saw her perplexed expression and held her hand, “Listen, I can’t guarantee that I can be there protect you 24 hours a day. In this industry, there are too many unknowns and anything can happen, even in the expected situations. I can’t lose you, so I have to do all I can to protect you.”

“But …” Arya looked at Allen, who is always silently worrying about her. His attentiveness warmed her heart and she couldn’t reject the arrangement.

“Not buts, I want you to be safe every hour of every day!”

Allen held Arya’s hand lovingly. He felt Arya deserved everything and he was willing to give it to her. He also wanted to hold her hand and grow old with her.

In this world, he is willing to be her one and only. He wanted to support and cherish her.

Chapter 80

Luna watched happily from the side. The reason she was so happy was not because Allen was willing to pay for such expensive bodyguards to protect Arya but more so that Arya had met a husband who doted on her.

These bodyguards were highly skilled, some of them had to protect the country’s leaders and they never cooperated with individual customers. It was only due to Allen’s social status, they agreed, otherwise, they wouldn’t have considered to be Arya’s bodyguards.

Once the agreement becomes valid, it would seem like Arya had took out an enormous insurance policy and didn’t have to worry about people doing things behind her back.

Knowing how Daniel treated Arya in the past, Allen’s heart ached so he used his power to provide all the support he could give her. As long as it was something Arya wanted to do, he would support her one hundred percent.

When Luna walked out of Arya’s bedroom, her eyes became teary, “Arya finally knows the meaning of being happy.”

“Luna, Arya’s future will only get better.”

“That’s right. Let’s make those scumbags regret everything they did. I wish him and Caroline a lifetime together, bitter to the end and never hinder Arya’s happiness ever again.”

“When their marriage goes public, I have to take a good look at Daniel’s reaction.”

In order to create momentum for Caroline, Daniel had got in contact with most of Brilliant Entertainment’s internal connection. Overnight, all of the internet tabloids were headlines of Caroline going global with a reality show. He also bribed quite a few networks and online forums to only air and posts good things about Caroline to dominate everything that happened between him and Arya.

Furthermore, they posted some of Caroline’s refined photos side by Arya’s daily photos to show that Caroline’s beauty and figure were far better than Arya, hence the reason for Caroline being top star of Brilliant Entertainment.

Arya had already expected they would be using such spiteful tactics.

Fortunately, there were many fans who had been following Arya as well. They were very concerned that Brilliant Entertainment would conceal Arya and lose the opportunity to stage a comeback.

When the news came out, it was only Caroline whom kept the hype going. Arya wasn’t even bothered to respond, as if she was ready to resign herself to be Caroline’s foil.

After checking with Arya, Caroline finally understood her agenda. She did not think this was the right time to retaliate yet, because she is well aware there will be a better opportunity for a counterattack in future. Julia tried her best to control her fan’s reactions, asking everyone to respect Arya’s choice. All of Arya’s fans knew she had a calm and gentle personality so they did not go online to pick fights with Caroline’s fans.

Daniel thought the news would cause a lot of bickering online and he would take advantage of the connections to control Arya. But because Arya remained silent, his plan failed.

“Daniel, my followers has risen again!” Caroline said. She was elated as she looked at the website.

Caroline’s assistant chimed in, “Arya is no match to Caroline. Arya’s followers are not even a fraction of Caroline’s.

“I am popular because I have contributed many years in the industry. Do you think Arya is able to catch up in a few days?” Caroline smiled boastfully, “Daniel, why don’t you say something?”

“I’m wondering if there’s something going on. Why is Arya not doing anything about this?” He sighed, “Although we have the advantage on our side, you have yet to reach the peak of Arya’s standard. When ‘Behind the Scenes’ starts, you have to put more efforts in so everyone can see your ability!”

Caroline’s eyes had traces of pride when she heard this, “Not to worry, the acting teacher you hired for me taught me a lot. I will outshine Arya.” novelbin

“That’s not enough. You have to remember the directors and other actors. You need to have a good relationship with them too. Now that the company has invested in you, you shall not lose to Arya. Otherwise not only yourself but Daniel and I will be compromised.”

Davina said as she entered into the room with a threatening stare.

Caroline nodded vigorously, “I will make sure Arya regret it. Anything she can, I can do as well! Brilliant Entertainment will still progress without her!”
