Chapter 252
After putting on his clothes, he quickly restrained X. Security also came in at the right time, keeping
the scene under control. Nicole was still crying as she had a towel wrapped around her, still leaving her
bare shoulders exposed. Her slender legs happened to be exposed as well. Her delicate face was filled
with helplessness and terror as the media frantically continued taking pictures of her.
X, who had been cheated on, was crying and yelling away. After shoving Richard’s hands away, she
ran out of the room. Richard looked at Nicole before shifting his gaze back to X who was running out
of the room. In the end, he decided to go after X.
The security guards then started chasing the reporters away before mming the door shut.
Touching her face which had been scratched all over by X, she let out a gasp out of pain.
Nheless, she looked extremely pleased.
She only yed walk-on parts. Besides having good looks, she had a solid foundation in acting and
dancing, but because she did not have any prominent background, she could only y walk-on parts
even though she had signed with Glory Entertainment for a quite a number of years. Her juniors were
starting to get famous one by one, while she could only y walk-on parts who carried drinks. All she felt
was discontentment and fury at her unfair destiny.
Since she was born in an orphanage, she did not have anyone to back her up. The managers looked
down on her for not having any resources. Meanwhile, those who had supporters behind them could
instantly star in blockbuster films after making their debuts. Besides ying in scenes where they had to
show their face, they would use their stunt doubles for all the other scenes.
Life was unfair to her. She wasn’t afraid that she couldn’t see her future. She was afraid that if she
continued dying a few more years, she would not be able to be famous even if she wanted to.
After this incident, she would surely be famous!
The room was finally silent since she was the only person left in there. After wiping her face, she found
her clothes and put them on. The reporters had been chased away while Richard was running after X.
The bathroom door then opened, and out came a young girl who was wearing a cap and school uniform.
Then, she tossed a stack of cash toward Nicole.
“Take it. Your sister’s surgery cost and 80% of the donation to the orphanage has been credited to your
ount. When you’ve settled the rest of the matter, I will transfer the bnce payment to you.”
Holding the money, Nicole lifted her head to look at that girl whom she noticed was wearing a punk-
styled pendant. The glistening ring that was on the pendant glittered…
Too many incidents had urred that night.
This was the good thing about the existence of the Inte. In the past, if there were any entertainment
news, readers would have to wait for the editors to finish writing their articles and the publishers to
publish it before they could read about it in magazines. With the Inte, a news article could be written
within a few minutes before it was posted out. The news would then gain attraction within a night and the
whole city would know about the news within a day.
The next day, the first thing Sophia did when she got out of bed was to read the news. The nders
surrounding Taylor had vanished, but the news that had reced them was even more exciting. News
with keywords such as ‘Young Master of the Harper Group, Richard’, ‘Nicole Walker’, ‘Daughter of the
Huff Family Catches Adultery in the Act’, and ‘Busted’ were all over the ce.
Richard and Nicole’s passionate video was circting on all video tforms. The part where X
appeared and caught them in the act, especially the part where Nicole was beaten up while naked was
even more popr. The clip was trending on the Inte. By the time the cyber police started diffusing
the situation, the high-definition videos had already circted everywhere. It was impossible to stop it.
This time round, Glory Entertainment Group and Richard had be famous. Nicole was even more
famous now; countless pitiful photos of her circted the Inte, each of those photos perfectly clear,
taking the Inte by storm.
The media had always been interested in matters like this. They did a thorough research regarding
Nicole and posted out all of the films which she had starred in.
They then realized that her acting was actually quite good, but it was just that she had been ying
walk-on parts. It was such a waste of talent.
Her background and history were also disclosed. She was sent to an orphanage along with her younger
sister when they were little, but because she was not willing to separate from her sister who was
physically unwell, and no families were willing to adopt her sister who was ill, they never managed to find
a family to adopt them. So, she stayed in the orphanage until she was 15 when she was somehow
selected by Glory Entertainment Company to be an intern.
She made her debut when she was seventeen. It had been a decade since then, but she still yed
walk-on parts and support cast only.
She had good looks and good acting skills, but she just couldn’t be famous. It was really a waste of
talent.
Richard, who was the protagonist in this scandalous act, was also thoroughly researched. Any
information regarding him was disclosed.
Sophia then went to school like usual. When she arrived at school, she noticed that everyone was
gathered around, watching the video fromst night.
“Sophia, your ex-boyfriend was caught cheating. Quick,e and take a look. It’s in Ultra HD!”
Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.
“Quick, quick. If you don’t watch it now, it’s going to disappear soon!”
“So, this woman is Nicole Walker! I know she acted in many supporting roles, but I didn’t know her real
name. Tsk, tsk. Such a pity. She has such good looks and acting skills.”
Richard and X did not show up for ss. If it wasn’t because Bayside University had a movement
control, the couple’s ss would have been surrounded by reporters.
That afternoon, Sophia received a call from Richard. The moment the call was connected, Richard
started yelling manically before she could say a word.
“You b*tch! You think you can ruin my reputation just by hiring an unknown actress? Don’t worry! I won’t
let you have your way, including that boyfriend of yours. I will make your lives miserable! Just you wait!”
The call was then hung up.
Unfazed, Sophia put down her phone.
Of course, she was the one behind the incidentst night. Nevertheless, she could not have
aplished such a major achievement alone.
She was only the mastermind.
If she bribed an artist from Glory Entertainment, a group of reporters and the employees in that hotel, this
task was basically done; she could easily find people to get the dirty job done.
Meanwhile, Hale was standing respectfully at the side. After seeing Sophia hanging up the phone, he
heard her saying coldly, “Who asked you to set my idol up?”
Of course, Michael had known that Sophia was up to something.
When he found out that Sophia had created such a hugemotion because of him, he was extremely
delighted. After all, she did all these for him.
The incident was still trending that afternoon. The Harper Family swiftly used their public rtions to
delete the posts and hired spammers to bring the attention away from the matter.
That afternoon, Richard and X held a joint press conference.
Since he needed to address so many reporters in the conference, Richard was dressed quite smartly.
With a sincere look, he said, “I apologize for the incidentst night. My fiancée and I had initially reserved
a hotel room, but I didn’t expect the hotel to disclose the information of my reservation. Nicole was hiding
in the bathroom, pretending to be my fiancée. The room was too dark at that time, and she purposely put
on a perfume which X often used, so I didn’t notice anything. Not only did she pretend to be my
fiancée, she even contacted the media to swarm the hotel beforehand. That was why there was such a
dramast night. Everything had been nned by that woman. She wanted to gain the public’s support
and boost her poprity! She’s utterly shameless!”
X added in a huff, “Richard and I booked a hotel to celebrate our anniversary, but the woman got
news of this and hid in the hotel’s bathroom. I arrived at the hotelte because I had to finish up
something in school. I didn’t expect the woman to take advantage of that. I don’t me Richard. I only
me that woman. Glory Entertainment will permanently cklist morally degenerate women like her!
Furthermore, we found out that this woman has been long involved in casting couch. She’s even
involved in modelling and has undergone abortion multiple times. She has done plenty of unspeakable
deals. It’s just absolutely disgusting.”
At the same time, the negative chatter on the Inte regarding Richard and Glory Entertainment had
been suppressed by the public rtions team. The media even dug up all of Nicole’s scandals,
prostitution, modeling, abortion, ckmailing and couch casting. Within a day, they had turned her into a
scheming b*tch who slept with other people’s husbands.
