Chapter 1995


    After Simone''s video was uploaded with blurred faces, the inte exploded in uproar.


    The outcry against KING reached a fever pitch.


    Snowy Studios and GK were once again dragged through the mud over the KING debacle. Designers


    were doxed and boycotted; the harassment was so severe that many feared going to work.


    GK''s boutiques were vandalized by outragedizens, who fanatically demanded it immediately end


    the partnership with KING or face permanent closure.


    KING''s des were stripped, with her name erased from awards, and her films and TV shows were


    pulled from cirction.


    She was effectively cklisted in her own country.


    As the scandal snowballed, the Macin n each had their say. First, Corley and his wife, as the


    head of the Macin family, were cornered by reporters at theirpany headquarters and were


    pressed for a statement on KING.


    With a sly smile, Natalia said, "We''re not too familiar with the affairs of Simone and the adopted


    daughter. They aren''t close to us. All I know is that KING often frequented the Lamont Group. Our


    daughter is the executive secretary there and she''s seen KING clinging to Mr. Lamont''s arm and


    bragging to the employees."


    Boom! With this news, KING was now branded as a seductress, who targeted the CEO of the Lamont


    Group!


    Soon, the gossip about KING stealing star Gwen''s boyfriend was dredged up by inte sleuths.


    The witch hunt for KING''s past misdeeds was relentless.


    In thete night, Mr. Tucker wrapped up his work, only to be summoned by a phone call to a tea house.


    Upon entering, a man in a suit stood to greet him. "Mr. Tucker, what an honor to meet you!"


    Mr. Tucker nodded curtly, "What can I do for you?"


    The man handed him a business card, "I represent the Crawley Group. Our boss wants you to issue a


    statement that you''ll no longer coborate with KING. Of course, if you could include some juicy details


    about her flirting on set or unsavory rtions with the crew, our boss would be quite pleased."


    Mr. Tucker replied firmly, "KING has always been professional and ethical, and I won''t corroborate any


    unfounded rumors."


    The man''s expression turned icy, "Are you choosing to oppose the Crawley family?"


    Taking a deep breath, Mr. Tucker stood his ground, "I''m not against anyone, nor will I lie for personal


    gain. I won''t fabricate stories about KING. I know the Crawley family is powerful, and KING''s situation


    looks dire. I might be burning bridges with them, but I refuse to betray my conscience again as I did to


    Estelle." Reаd at Draмanоvels


    The man stared coldly at Mr. Tucker, "The project which you''ve poured your heart into is about to


    premiere, isn’t it? Think very carefully about your next move!"Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
