Chapter 824


    After hanging up the phone, Alma issued instructions to her team.


    ‘Keep hiring some online trolls; have them trash Wilma’s reputation ASAP


    “Ms. Alma, we’re already on it. The inte is flooded with negativements about Wilma, and


    everyone’s calling her a lowlife.”


    A smirk appeared on Alma’s face. Backed by the powerful Casson family, dealing with a woman who


    entirely relied on men was a piece of cake.


    She was confident that Maja, the woman so dependent on men, woulde begging for mercy within


    two months.


    Alma was full of confidence about this.


    On the other hand, Maja was still in the dark about the fact that the woman Wilma pped was from


    the Casson family. She tried to call Wilma, but Wilma didn’t pick up. Clearly, she was pissed. So, she


    called Wilma’s agent next.


    The agent was a young woman who sounded a bit shaky, understandably, since Maja was her boss.


    “Mr. Pennyfeather”


    “What’s she up to now? How’s she doing?”


    “Wilma’s sleeping. She doesn’t answer when I knock on the door.”


    “As her agent, you must know why she pped that woman, right?”


    “Yes, I do. The director suddenly added a female supporting role to the crew, having Wilma and the


    supporting actress reshoot previous scenes. Normally, they’d have to discuss this with us first, but we


    were kept in the dark the whole time. In one of the scenes with the supporting actress, she was


    supposed to p Wilma. They reshot that scene eighteen times, with Wilma getting pped until her


    face was swollen. Everyone could tell the supporting actress was doing it intentionally, but no one


    stood up for Wilma. Thest time the supporting actress deliberately pped Wilma hard, she said


    something to Wilma, and that’s when Wilma fought back.”


    In showbiz, those without a powerful backing were often bullied but Maja would never allow her artists


    to be bullied.


    If Wilma had a bad temper, she would have fought back after a few ps. But she endured eighteen


    ps, and it must have been something the supporting actress said that crossed a line and made her


    fight back.


    This girl was only twenty years old. The fact that she could endure eighteen ps showed incredible


    resilience.


    Maja and Elvis were on their way to Wilma’s school, nning to investigate the fights Wilma was


    Involved in back in the day.


    When they arrived, Maja went to see the principal.


    The principal hadn’t received any calls beforehand and thought the call was from a news outlet, so he


    wasn’t pleased. When he heard it was about Wilma, he promptly kicked them out.


    “We can’t just give out this information to outsiders. You better leave, or I’ll call security.”


    Maja observed the principal’s expression, noticing that he was very firm when he saw her. Someone


    must have tipped him off.


    Also, what the supporting actress said must have had something to do with this, which was why it got


    to Wilma.


    If the supporting actress had already gotten hold of this information and the principal was still refusing


    to share it with Maja, it meant the supporting actress was the key yer. Maja called the agent again,


    and everything clicked when she saw the supporting actress’s profile.


    The supporting actress was part of the Casson family.


    Selena Casson and Steve Raymond came from simr backgrounds, and the Casson family’s standing


    and power were obvious. Clearly, Alma was trying to get close to Maja. Back in the car, Maja frowned.


    Elvis also remained silent. He had been in showbiz for many years, but going against the Casson


    family was impossible.,


    The Casson family were aristocrats and capitalists, a single person’s power was no match for them.


    “Mr. Pennyfeather, what should we do?”


    Maja put down the documents in her hands, took a calm look at the view outside the window, and then


    called someone at Rosewood Manor.


    “Look into Alma. Find out everything that has happened in her life.”


    Her arrogance mighte from her upbringing, and she might have as much negative press as


    Wilma.


    Then she had someone look into the supporting actress that Alma reced, finally getting the


    actress’s phone number.


    After calling, she found out the girl had been crying at home for two days because she had been


    reced.


    In showbiz, getting any role was a big deal. Sometimes, losing a role was like losing a chance at fame.


    Maja hung up the phone and then turned to Elvis.


    “Get in touch with the original supporting actress. She’s still crying at home. She originally had over a

    million fans, was a social media influencer, and hasn’t signed with any agency yet. If her acting skills


    are good, sign her to our agency, then we can start fighting back against Alma, starting with the ‘stolen


    role‘ incident.”


    Alma’s way of stealing roles was too domineering. If it came to light, it would definitely spark


    discussion.


    Maja smiled faintly, “I’ll get our PR department involved and create a close sisterly image for Wilma and


    the influencer. Then, we’ll expose the pping incident. By then, in the eyes ofizens, she’ll be seen


    as ‘the one who held back until she had to stand up for her friend! She’s still young and a bit impulsive,


    but that’s just her being honest. So we’ll frame Wilma as someone who’s genuine, and we’ll also hire


    some fans to promote her that way.”


    Elvis was a bit surprised. Maja’s strategies were more effective than a professional PR’s.
