At this moment, Ruby was also watching Harmony not far away as she held the script for tonight. She first had the chief editor to review it before handing it to an intern. The intern held the script and would soon deliver it to the studio. Time was ticking away, and Sera was also waiting outside.
At this moment, Ruby’s phone rang. She took out her phone and saw it was Catalina calling.
“Hello, Catalina,” Ruby answered in a hushed tone.
“Did you do as I instructed?” “The script will soon be switched. Don’t worry! Everything is according to plan.” “Good. I’ll be waiting for a good show.” “You can look forward to seeing Harmony make a fool of herself!” Ruby said.
Not only had Catalina bribed Ruby, but she also used the connection of her mother’s company and established a good relationship with the host. As long as the host performed usually, everything would go smoothly.
After hanging up the phone, Ruby turned to greet Harmony with an adoring expression.
“Miss Mayo, I really love your movie.” “Thank you, Harmony responded with a smile.
“Harmony, let’s get ready. It’s already 5.40PM. Let’s go! There’s also a two minute fan meeting over there.” “Okay!” Harmony nodded. Just as she left the corridor, some fans approached boldly, presenting flowers to her.
“These are flowers for you, Miss Mayo. I hope you like them.” “Here’s a small gift too!” “Thank you.” Harmony smiled gratefully.
“Wow! She looks even more beautiful up close, and her figure is even better.” “She’s simply a goddess.” “You are so beautiful. I love you so much.” A male fan exclaimed. When Harmony smiled and looked at him, his heart raced. “Harmony, I love you. You are my goddess.” “Thank you, everyone!” After interacting with fans for two minutes, Harmony was guided to a lounge by the staff. After a ten- minute wait, she was welcomed by the enthusiastic female host. She sat in the studio amid the warm cheers of her fans.
At this moment, the intern placed the script in front of the female host. She glanced at the script and noticed the questions written on it. However, the Martin Family had already talked to the female host about it and told her to follow the mistaken script, disregarding the consequences.
Ruby stood nearby and watched with a triumphant smile as the script was presented to the host.
Harmony took a deep breath and looked at the entrance. Right now, she was anticipating the long- awaited figure to appear.
She had pondered whether Ezekiel would show up, but her expectations weren’t too high. After all, she could empathize with someone as busy as him possibly being unable to attend.
Just then, the director made a gesture, indicating that the live broadcast had begun. The host skillfully led the opening of the show, introducing today’s guest, Harmony.
“Hello, everyone. I’m Harmony Mayo. It’s a pleasure to meet you all. I’m honored to participate in this interview.” “Let’s start with a casual chat, Miss Mayo. We’re all curious about how you walked the red carpet at Fashion Week. Did the brand invite you, or did you use some connections?” Harmony was surprised when she heard the host’s words. She looked up at the host, who was smiling and waiting for her response. Of course, the entire audience and her fans were also waiting.
Harmony didn’t expect the TV station to ask such an unexpected question. Still, she smiled and replied, “I’m honored to attend Fashion Week. It was my friend who invited me to accompany him on stage and walk the runway together.” “Oh! So, you walked the red carpet through your friend’s connection. That makes us even more curious! According to our information, it was a male friend.
Can you tell us about your relationship with him? Are you friends? Or is he someone special?” The host continued to inquire.
Facing the unexpected questions, Harmony tried to maintain a smile while thinking of a plan in her mind. She hadn’t anticipated the TV station would prepare two sets of scripts and wondered if this was a play to manipulate celebrities for increased viewership.
“We are just friends.” “Well, what is your opinion of being on the red carpet, Miss Mayo? Do you think such behavior has ethical implications?” The host continued to inquire.
Meanwhile, Sera was anxious as she saw Harmony being bullied on stage. Sera quickly found the deputy director and asked, “Sir, what’s going on? These questions aren’t the ones my artist agreed upon. Why are they asking random questions now?” She questioned angrily.
“We’re not sure about this. It’s a live broadcast, so we can’t switch the scripts now,” the deputy director explained. He noticed that the current views had already reached fifty million and thought tonight might hit a hundred million views. Thus, in terms of profits, he wouldn’t stop these actions since he believed these sharp questions would attract more attention than the initially planned ones.
On stage, Harmony answered her opinion on being on the red carpet. Then, the host continued with a smile, “Miss Mayo, we believe the fans have witnessed your acting skills. Not only are you skillful in acting, but you are also a beauty.
Our fans are interested in whether you’ve had plastic surgery or not. Could you share aspects to consider if one decides to get plastic surgery?”” This question directly labeled Harmony as someone who had done plastic surgery before.
Harmony smiled and replied, “I don’t know much about this because I haven’t had any experience. Sorry about that.” The host chuckled and eased the awkwardness. “Oh my, Miss Mayo doesn’t want to discuss this topic. Let’s move on to the next question, then.” In the meantime, Harmony was already annoyed. She hadn’t expected the TV station to play such a dirty trick and wanted the interview to end as soon as possible.
“Miss Mayo, you started your career at a young age. We believe you’ve encountered many actors. So, please tell us which three actors you dislike the most. You can use initials instead of names.” This question was clearly meant to create conflict. Harmony couldn’t answer this question, so she simply shook her head with a smile and said, “I don’t hate anyone because I think they are all wonderful people and have taken good care of me in many ways.” The host continued to smile, appearing friendly. However, her eyes were filled with malice. She picked up the script and said, “Okay, we’ll have a rapid Q&A next. If your boyfriend is angry, how will you quickly appease him?” she asked.
issues rationally.” “Under what circumstances did you and your boyfriend first have an intimate relationship?” In that split second, Harmony was speechless.
On the other hand, a tall and handsome figure had quietly taken a seat in the back row. Since Harmony was entirely focused on the host’s questions, she didn’t notice that someone had arrived.
After hearing this question, the man narrowed his eyes in displeasure. He could not help but ponder, What kind of interview is this? All the questions are filled with ill intentions.
Harmony blushed, and her eyes shimmered. After all, this question was impossible to answer. Although she had been in a relationship with Reuben for five years, they never engaged in a sexual relationship. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to answer, but this question was too personal. Whether she answered or not, it would have an impact on her.
In the meantime, the fans were also expressing their dissatisfaction. After all, this wasn’t the appropriate way to treat their idol.
Harmony pursed her red lips, and the camera deliberately zoomed in on her face, wanting to capture her embarrassed expression more clearly.
“Well…” Harmony was lost for words, unsure of how to reply.
At this moment, a deep voice resonated, “You don’t have to answer that.” The entire studio was shocked. Fans turned their heads with wide eyes. At the same time, Harmony was thrilled as she realized that Ezekiel actually came. He stepped onto the stage and ignored the gazes as he took Harmony’s hand.
“Let’s go.” “Sir, this is a live interview! Leaving without permission is a breach of contract,” the host hurriedly interjected.
Ezekiel glanced at the host coldly and said, “I will handle the rest.” Harmony didn’t fully react to the situation, but he had already held her hand tightly. In front of the female host, the director, the fans, and nearly eighty million viewers nationwide, she was led out of the interview room by Ezekiel. As he led her down the corridor, Sera approached eagerly. She was grateful for his help but was still concerned since Harmony was a celebrity. Hence, this behavior wouldn’t sit well with the TV station and would affect her career.
“You’re here, Mr. Weiss, you’re here. That’s wonderful,” Sera said.
“I’ll take her away first. I’ll handle any breach of contract issues,” he said.
At that moment, the deputy director rushed over and blocked their way. “Please stop. The live broadcast has been interrupted, and we need an explanation to the audience. Please wait here for our instructions.” Harmony scolded, “Kent Donnor, why is the script different from what we discussed? Did you change the script?” “We will investigate this matter, but your actions today have violated the terms of our contract, Miss Mayo. You may need to bear the responsibility of compensation.” Kent snarled. After all, the views had almost reached ninety million, yet Harmony cut off such a high-profile broadcast. Thus, he was furious.
Then, he turned his gaze to Ezekiel. “Who might you be, Sir? Why do you have the right to take away our guest without permission? You have no right to do this.” “He is my friend,” she explained. Then, on second thought, she added, “He is my boyfriend. He has the right to do so. Please don’t cause trouble for him.” “I don’t care what kind of relationship you guys had, but you have violated our television station’s rights. Hence, you must stay here and deal with this until we are all satisfied with the result.
Ezekiel’s face already showed signs of annoyance. Then, he said sternly, “Step aside.” Kent was taken aback and looked at Ezekiel, who emitted an intimidating aura.
At that moment, Kent felt a sense of trouble and wondered if Ezekiel was someone from a wealthy family.
“We’re leaving,” Ezekiel said as he dragged Harmony away. Regardless of the consequences or the amount of compensation, she was also willing to face it.
Ezekiel held her hand until they exited the building and arrived at the parking lot.
After they got into the car, he let out a sigh of relief and leaned toward her. “Did I scare you?” She pursed her red lips and shook her head with a smile. “No. What you did back then was cool. Thank you.” He smiled and reassured her. “Don’t worry. I’ll handle this matter.” “It was the television station that broke the agreement first. They played a dirty trick, giving me a completely different script than they used on stage. I will take legal action against them,” Harmony said, not wanting to be treated like a pushover.
“Good! I’ll provide you with a lawyer, and we’ll make the television station publicly apologize to you in front of the entire people,” Ezekiel declared, wanting to help her vent her frustration.
“How much does your lawyer charge?” she asked curiously.
Ezekiel gripped the steering wheel elegantly w while turning his head with a smile. “It’s free for you.” Harmony was momentarily stunned before nodding in response. “Okay, then.
Thank you in advance.” At this moment, the television station quickly switched to other programs and promptly issued an announcement-the live broadcast concluded ahead of schedule due to health concerns affecting the artist.
Facing the deputy director’s accusation, Sera refused to back down.
