Chapter 14 That was too much
Black had planned everything. He chose to hold a small press conference because he wanted to make sure everything was under his control.
"Neither. This was an accident. I do not mean to bring Brilliant Entertainment Company so much trouble. And I never want to replace Alice's position in the film."
Anna's soft and calm voice was echoed in the hall through the microphone.
"I apologize to Director Bush for my behavior. I also sincerely ask the public to believe that the casting of the show is very fair and transparent and there is absolutely no buying or selling of characters. As for the rumors on the Internet, I use them to get attention. All of this has nothing to do with anyone else."
"You mean, you'll take all responsibility on your own? Nothing to do with Brilliant Entertainment Company?"
"Yes." Anna stood up. She looked around and her eyes were so clear. "No matter why I did this, I will bear all the consequences."
Reporters looked at each other and couldn’t believe what they heard. If she was going to take responsibility on her own, there would be no future for her in the showbiz. But she didn’t seem to be threatened.
Anna took a deep breath. She thought everything would be over after she said that, but...
The investor immediately said, "Very good. She was honest and explained everything. We are professional and always attach great importance to the strength of the actors or actresses. How can we have anything to do with those hidden rules or secret deals!"
They had already planned this in order to make Anna the perfect scapegoat!
"Anna, we hope you can learn a lesson from this and don't make such mistakes again," said Black. He suddenly patted her on the shoulder.
What a cold-blooded man! With several words like this, Brilliant Entertainment Company and Alice turned into innocent victims.
Anna didn’t defend herself. Instead, she bowed to Director Bush and left. When she walked out of the conference room, a big smile appeared on her face. Since they were determined to start a war, a war began now.
The reporters present were invited by Black. Therefore, What Anna said in the conference room was posted online immediately. Soon, the headlines of entertainment magazines were all about Anna’s jealousy of Alice. She had planned all this to hype and replace Alice. Black even paid to fan the fire.
The investor struck the iron while it was hot and decided Alice should play the role of Jane. Under great pressure, the director team had no choice but to agree.
Dahua Company was also aware of the news storm. Bill, Jack’s assistant, came to Jack's office. When he finished reporting, he asked, "Shall we do something to remove these obstacles for Mrs Anna..."
"No hurry. Let’s wait and see." said Jack. If he helped her, all problems would be swept away. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
But he wanted to see her fight back.
He was confident that she could handle this very well. After all, she was the wife he chose.
Anna stood up and assumed all responsibility and thus redeemed the reputation of Brilliant Entertainment Company. Thanks to her, Director Bush could start shooting his play as scheduled. And Alice even got more popular as the victim.
However, Anna had been abused by netizens since then.
Mean labels were pasted to her, such as "bitch", "the outdated best actress" and "the scheming woman".
Anna sat in the hall on the first floor in Brilliant Entertainment Company. Finally, she put down her phone and sighed. She would remember her suffering today and made Black and Alice pay more in the future.
When she looked up, she saw some new employees of Brilliant Entertainment Company were gossiping about her.
"What are you talking about?” Anna's face turned cold.
"We are talking about how shameless you are! You used such bad means to get attention! Shame on you!"
