Chapter 1559


    Chapter 1559 Not Considered a Third Wheel


    Ian had a neutral expression and he hesitated slightly before taking a seat at one side of the couch.


    “We were talking about work.”


    Yulia was the one who called him today and mentioned that she wanted to talk to him about the


    photoshoot of the magazine cover.


    Actually, he didn’t care much about the issue with the magazine and she could have liaised with the


    company instead.


    However, she had mentioned something else. She knew that he was currently with Aurora and


    promised to pull some strings to introduce Aurora under the limelight.


    Furthermore, Yulia had also mentioned that she had met up with a few friendstely and they had a few


    budget productions in the making. There were some roles with plenty of screen time, so if Aurora was


    keen, Yulia could rmend her for it.


    It was evident that Aurora was more than happy about such news. As such, Ian immediately brought


    her along to meet Yulia.


    Yulia was indeed quite well-connected and resourceful. However, he realized that she was being


    modest when she referred to those productions as budgeted ones because each of them had a


    dazzling cast and its production teams were quite popr within the industry as well. Therefore, even if


    they weren’t blockbuster movies, the productions were definitely not budgeted either.


    Ian could tell that Yulia was intent on lending a helping hand, which was why he stayed for quite some


    time to talk to her. Furthermore, the vibe at that time was also rather pleasant.


    Unexpectedly though, someone had managed to take advantage of the situation.


    He had already informed Yulia when he was back at thepany, but she had no idea on the identity


    of the mastermind either.


    To be frank, she didn’t have a good reputation in the industry. Despite her sessful coborations


    with a lot of well-known celebrities, most of them didn’t have a great impression of her.

    Therefore, it was also quite likely that someone was targeting her to besmirch her reputation.


    As a result, everything was in a mess and there were way too many people who could be the suspect,


    which made it arduous to pinpoint anyone.


    Cindy finally dished out the food she had prepared and she beckoned for Naomi and Ian a short while


    later. “Come on over. Dinner’s ready.”


    At this moment, there was an awkward vibe at the dining table. Ian and Cindy both maintained their


    silence while Naomi was the only one who couldn’t stopining.


    Sheined about those unscrupulous social media ounts that were paid to post negative


    comments. At the same time, she expressed bee displeasure toward Yulia too.


    Cindy could tell that Naomi was intentionally criticizing Yulia in front of him.


    Although Naomi knew that there was nothing between Ian and Yulia, she would have been rather


    concerned either way, which was why she intentionally used this incident to warn him.


    Nheless, it made Cindy awkward. After all, she wasn’t in an actual rtionship with him, so he


    shouldn’t even be subjected to Naomi’s impertinent words.


    As they were having dinner, the doorbell suddenly sounded. Cindy was quite sure that she knew who


    was at the door, so she hurried off to open it. Sure enough, it was Aurora standing at the front door.


    Aurora looked quite distressed, which tempted Cindy tough. After the incident urred, Cindy


    seemed to be the only one behaving normally while those around her reacted quite strongly. It was like


    the people around her were the ones being dragged into the center of the problem.


    She invited Aurora into the house and asked, “Have you had dinner? We’ve just started our meal, so


    why don’t you join us for a bite?”


    Meanwhile, Aurora changed into a pair of bedroom flip-flops and brushed off Cindy’s invitation. “I’m not


    hungry. I''m fuming mad right now!”


    Cindy was aware of the reason for Aurora’s anger, so sheforted, “It’s fine. The truth will always


    prevail.”


    Naomi also voiced her support. “Yes! A third wheel will never have a position in the rtionship.


    Besides, she’s not even considered a third wheel, so there’s nothing to worry about.”


    Aurora made her way to the dining table and pulled up a chair to join them. Then, she plopped herself


    onto the chair with a sigh. “Today’s incident is all my fault. If it wasn’t because of me, things wouldn’t


    have ended up in such a state. Yulia was just being kind, but it was quite unexpected that someone


    would take advantage of us.”


    At this moment, Naomi instantly responded by the side, “Don’t exonerate her just yet. There’s a chance


    that she could be the target of the mastermind all along. Ian might have been the coteral damage.”


    A surprised Aurora turned to Naomi. “That can’t be possible, right?”


    Aurora wasn’t extremely familiar with Yulia and had never heard of her before their meeting today.


    During their meetup, Yulia was rather cordial and had even contacted a few producers on Aurora’s


    behalf. Therefore, it gave Aurora a rather good impression of her.


    Meanwhile, Naomi revealed a cold smile before replying, “In the entertainment industry, she’s well-


    known to be invincible. I’ve read the articles written about her and nine out of ten of them have


    commented on her bad personality. I don’t know how true that is, but from the looks of it, she must


    have offended plenty of people.”
