“The move you just made was amazing,” Lisa reminisced after some time passed. Most of the solutions that an average person would think of in a situation like that, would usually make things more awkward.
But, Emma handled it easily.
People indeed differed.
Emma smiled. Just as she was about to respond, she came across a young man with a face that was 70% similar to Han Xiuche’s. This man was Han Xiuche’s older brother.
Sure enough, the man stopped in his tracks and smiled, “It’s an honor to finally meet you. Now that I see you, you definitely live up to your reputation.”
“President Han is being too polite. We’ve been implicated with each other in the past, so it’s nice to meet in person,” Emma said as she shook the man’s hand.
“Regarding the matter with Xiuche, I hope you don’t take it to heart. He’s just a child…”
“Of course. But, President Han, could you please tell your brother that the next time he decides to fake a video, don’t forget to erase the logo at the bottom,” Emma laughed, “Also, please let him know that I’m still waiting for him to kneel and apologize.”
“It seems, there’s a strong misunderstanding bet**en Miss Miller and my brother.” Han Jie’s exp**ssion turned serious, “Since Miss Miller was willing to let go of a little artist today, why can’t you be generous and let go of my brother as well?”
Emma looked at Han Jie without saying a word. At this moment, Han Jie took a step forward and said in a lowered voice, “Should I tell the public that Miss Miller’s post-production was done with the help of Hollywood?”
Emma furrowed her brows…
“You may be able to fool others, but you can’t fool Xiuche!”
After speaking, Han Jie moved away from Emma and revealed a meaningful smile. He then left.
“Your exp**ssion changed. What did he say to you?” Lisa asked
“Both he and Han Xiuche believe that the post-production for my film was done by Hollywood. Don’t forget, Han Xiuche also experimented with sci-fi films in the past!”
“Is that jerk still clinging to you?” Lisa humphed. “I can’t understand why he insists on opposing you.”
“Does he have any evidence?” Zephaniah asked.
“My team did all the post-production; the Americans never even touched it. So, what evidence could he possibly have?”
“But, if he creates a story out of nothing and starts spreading it, it will still affect the film. After all, you’ve always been selling this film as a domestically produced project, but you are also Jones’ student. The audience is easily manipulated. What are you going to do?”
“What else can I do? I can only respond to each move as it comes!” Emma replied. “Since the post-production team belongs to me, then I naturally have my way of proving their innocence. If Han Xiuche dares to do another thing to hurt me, I will definitely drag him out and make him kneel and apologize!”
“Both Han Xiuche and his brother are trash!”
“Lisa, after the Film Festival is over, immediately investigate the background behind these two brothers. I think the mother that abandoned them is their only cure.”
If one wanted to drill into a person, they had to aim for their heart!
In the end, the opening ceremony for the Film Festival was completed with sighs all around. After all, everyone was fighting for the limelight, but none of them could outshine Emma’s simple outfit. Yet, Emma covered herself with a suit jacket and left the limelight for a little artist without fighting for it at all.
This was because, all she wanted was to promote ‘The Ant Queen’.
During the Film Festival, Emma heard stories from Lisa about the gossip going around in the industry. She heard about the female star that was caught cheating in bed and was pregnant with another man’s child; about the male star that had multiple girlfriends and was being followed by the media; and the couple that had been married for many years and was denying it.
The entertainment industry had always been a place focused on fame and fortune.
Who wasn’t trying hard to climb upwards? Perhaps, in these people’s hearts, the only reason that Emma didn’t need to follow the rules was because she married a good man.
But, of course, Emma had to agree with this. Eric had indeed protected her from a lot of rules and regulations in the industry.
So, whenever she had time, Emma looked for a quiet place to hide and rest. Unfortunately, there was still an awards ceremony at night that she had to stick around for.
When Zephaniah noticed that her mind was elsewhere, he couldn’t help but laugh, “You used to enjoy this kind of atmosphere. When you first started as a model, you enjoyed the attention. But these days, it seems like you don’t want to attend events like this anymore.”
“I became like this after I started working on my film,” Emma replied.
“I’ve decided to get engaged with Yadanar. I’m not young anymore and think it’s time to have a child. It’s best if we have one that’s as well-behaved as she is.”
After Emma heard this, she nodded her head, “It is indeed time that you should have some stability in your life and settle down. Yadanar has suffered a lot and should be very tired. You’re getting old and Yadanar’s not young either. You should go easy on her.”
“That’s enough, let’s head back out. People already gossiped about us in the past, if someone decides to use this against us, then we would have to waste a lot of time trying to explain ourselves again.”
“You go back out first. I’m going to wait for Lisa,” Emma replied.
Zephaniah nodded his head and returned to the event.
However, Han Xiuche, who had his eye on Emma, noticed this and took a photo. The reason he had accompanied Han Jie to this event was because he wanted to follow Emma and take photos of her. Since this woman made it impossible for him to appear openly in the public, shouldn’t he give a response?
Of course, those that knew Emma, knew that she once had a scandal with Zephaniah. If they saw a photo of them together, wouldn’t it be evidence that they were using this event to meet and cheat?
Eric was putting too much trust in his woman…
While taking photos, Han Xiuche also tried to get up close and listen to the conversation bet**en Emma and Zephaniah. That’s when he heard something about a child and stability.
This made Han Xiuche even more certain that their relationship wasn’t normal.
Of course, Han Xiuche knew that the whole cheating scandal was seriously old news. Even if someone tried to create hype with it, it wouldn’t stir up much of a response. But, a woman’s cheating habits couldn’t be changed.
So…Emma could still be criticized.
As a result, Han Xiuche put on a disguise, deliberately tweaked the conversation bet**en the two and began to discuss it with some of the cathedral staff. This way, rumors would definitely start.
From the moment that Emma appeared at the Film Festival, her outfit, her film and her visit to Qiao Sen’s grave had become the hottest topics of discussion. And now, an even bigger news exploded onto the scene: someone overheard a conversation bet**en Emma and Zephaniah. Apparently, things progressed to a point where her children and stability were involved.
“Hey, have you guys heard? Some staff overheard that Emma and Zephaniah are using this event to cheat.”
“No way! Emma’s not that blind, is she? Any normal person would know who to choose bet**en Eric and Zephaniah, let alone someone as smart as Emma.”
“You still don’t understand? She has a man at home and another one on the outside. That’s the only way to highlight her attractiveness.”
“But, is there any solid evidence?”
“Apparently, there are photos and a voice recording!”
“Then that’s disgusting!”
On the surface, the other female celebrities simply smiled and laughed, but behind-the-scenes, they quickly began to spread what they had heard.
At that moment, Emma had not discovered that Han Xiuche was creating rumors about her yet, but Lisa soon heard from a few other managers about what was happening.
“Lisa, be honest with me, is something going on bet**en Emma and Zephaniah? I guarantee I won’t tell anyone about it!”
“What are you talking about?” Lisa asked blankly.
“Haven’t you heard yet? Everyone at the event is talking about it…”
With a nosy attitude, the relatively familiar managers explained everything to Lisa. As soon as Lisa finished listening, she couldn’t understand where this baseless rumor suddenly came from.
“I admit that their relationship is quite good in private, but things definitely aren’t the way that you guys say it is.”
“We knew you’d give a boring answer like that. Let’s go!”
Everyone knew that Lisa protected her boss. Even if Emma actually had ‘this problem’, Lisa would do all she could to keep it a secret for her.
Afterwards, Lisa returned to Emma’s side and told her what was happening.
“What did you and Zephaniah talk about anyway?”
“Zephaniah said he wanted to get engaged to Yadanar, so I told him it was time he settled down.”
Lisa sighed and said, “Someone overheard your conversation and started spreading rumors that your were cheating on Eric at the Film Festival.”
“Didn’t they rumor this before? Why is it suddenly being brought up again?”
Lisa shook her head, “Rumors like this are the most difficult to deal with. If you remain quiet, they say you are feeling guilty; if you try to provide an explanation, they think you are making excuses. Then there’s also your friendship!”
After hearing Lisa’s analysis, Emma laughed, “Since it’s hard to explain, then don’t explain anything…”
“If no one responds to this matter, it will eventually pass.”
“The more you respond, the more people will cling to it!”
“It’s easy to say…”
Lisa couldn’t accept what was happening. Emma had to endure a stupid misunderstanding like this, yet she didn’t care. Why?
She was more outstanding than other people, she had a good family, her acting was imp**ssive and her film was even a hot topic. So, those less fortunate than her, were bound to hold onto her weaknesses and attack her with them.
“So, are we just leaving it the way it is?”
“If not, are you planning to explain things to each and every person? Time will eventually reveal the truth!”
Lisa looked around at everyone’s gazes and couldn’t understand why they had to be so cruel. Soon, Zephaniah also heard about the rumors, but he simply laughed and did not provide a response.
