Chapter 362
Casey scoffed, "Le, now that you want to downy the whole thing, why didn''t you think before
you did this? And for your information, it wasn''t Izabe chasing after me; it was me trying to hit on
her, but I haven''t seeded yet."
Suddenly, there was silence from the other end of the phone.
Seth, standing behind Casey, was dumbstruck.
Quickly regaining hisposure, he rushed to Casey''s side and said quietly, "What on earth are
you saying?"
Casey said without a hint of regret, "I''ve got some real news for you; dare you to make it public?"
Le was stunned for a while. She tried to speak but couldn''t. After a while, she managed to utter
"You". She then realized that the trouble Ariana had caused this time wasn''t going to be easy to fix.
What she never expected was that in the rtionship between Izabe and Casey, the one who
made the first move was actually Casey.
Le managed to stutter out a "No".
Seth was watching Casey, who was bing more and more angry.
"Actually, not many have the nerve to hit on me. But it just so happens that Ariana, one of your
artists, did. A year ago, while we were filming, she tried to sneak into my room. Although it didn''t
come out at the time, I can still find the video. To prove I''m not lying, I''ve decided to post it online for
everyone to see."
Le''s voice started shaking. "Mr. Dempsey, she''s just a young girl who made a mistake in haste;
she''s not a bad person at heart. Give us a chance; we''lle and apologize, and we''llpensate
for your losses."
Caseyughed after hearing this: "Compensation? Can you afford it? Adults have to take
responsibility for what they say and do. Since she can''t keep her mouth shut, she can''t me
others for taking action."
Le became anxious and said, "Mr. Dempsey, you can''t be unreasonable. Ariana did squat outside
your room, but that''s in the past, and she didn''t do anything."
Casey said, "You''re wrong again. I didn''t call you today to reason with you, but to back up my future
girlfriend."
Casey hung up the phone and tossed it to Seth.
Seth caught the phone and frantically asked, "Why did you tell Le everything? What if she
recorded it and threatens you?"
Casey said, "Threatening requires ability. If she dares to y tricks again, I''ll bring down the
company backing her."
Seth, despite managing Casey''s schedules for many years, was unaware of the extent of Casey''s
power. He knew his family was rich and influential, but he hadn''t expected his influence to be so
staggering that he could easily ruin a wholepany.
"Are you really going to expose Ariana squatting outside your hotel room?" Seth asked quietly.
"I''ve already asked someone to post it."
Seth was stunned, but he was already used to Casey''s personality, so he took out his phone shakily
and opened up the video.
He noticed that the video was posted five minutes ago; Casey had the video released while on the
phone with Le.
Ariana definitely didn''t have that much influence. Even if she were associated with Casey, she
couldn''t have reached such a wide audience in such a short time. The only exnation was that
Casey not only contacted some marketing channels but also paid money to directly expose Ariana.
Seth was aware of this incident, but since no one knew and Casey wasn''t affected, it was let go.
However, he didn''t expect this long-forgotten incident to be brought up again because of Izabe.
Seth shifted his gaze from his phone to Casey, observing him carefully.
Casey was sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, with a soft light on him; his profile was full of
warmth. It should have been a beautiful picture, but for some reason, Seth felt a sense of fear.
Casey was undoubtedly top-notch in looks. The entertainment industry was never short of good-
looking people, but finding someone as distinctive and stunning as Casey was rare.
Seth shifted his attention back to the inte.
Not only did Casey expose the video from that year, but he also exposed that the ount used to
post the article was Ariana''s.
The video content was unttering. Ariana, dressed in pajamas, tried to knock on Casey''s door. The
intention of a woman going to another man''s room in revealing clothes at night was clear.
Casey didn''t even open the door; he directly called security to throw her out.
The video had been processed to show a clear image of Ariana''s beautiful face filled with panic.
Seth didn''t need to guess what thements were like. Having offended Casey, Ariana''s career in
showbiz was over.
Just when the previous incident hadn''t been resolved, she had Harper take the me for her.
Instead of staying out of trouble, she posted from another ount, and now it''s been exposed.
Seth could already imagine what Le looked like.
Le had managed many artists, but the only one who made money was Ariana. Now that Ariana
had caused such a big problem, the losses were heavy.
Even the most powerful PR team couldn''t handle such a mess.
Ariana was cursing Izabe just a while ago, and in the blink of an eye, her past actions and identity
were exposed online.
She was stuck in a state of rigidity, like an old,gging machine; her reactions became slow. Under
stress, people automatically trigger a protection mode, retreating into a shell, like experiencing a
nightmare that they can''t wake up from.
Ariana pinched herself; it hurt, but she continued to pinch, trying to wake herself up from this reality.
However, this was indeed the reality.
Reality is often more terrifying than nightmares. She held her phone, trembling, and opened the
comments. Millions of people were cursing her.
She didn''t dare to read thements; she scrolled down and saw the video of her trying to seduce
Casey a year ago. It was such a long time ago that she was taken away by security without seeing
Casey.
She had been worried for more than ten days, but there was no news online, so she didn''t take it
seriously. Over time, she had almost forgotten about it, but she didn''t expect it to be exposed online
in such a humiliating way.
Just a few hours ago, she used this ount to insult Izabe, using Izabe of shamelessly
seducing Casey. She didn''t expect karma to hit her so quickly.
Not only was the video leaked online, but her ount was now known to everyone.
Was it Izabe? No, she couldn''t pull this off. That left only Casey.
Her phone suddenly rang, causing Ariana''s hands to tremble as she gripped it hard.
The caller ID showed it was her agent, Le.
She answered the call with a shaky voice: "Le, please help me. I didn''t do it on purpose. I just
used this ount to vent a bit; please, help me beg Casey to let me off the hook."
There was a scoff on the other end of the line: "Well, you''re not aplete idiot; at least you know
who''s behind it."
Ariana was at a loss for words.
"I got a call from him five minutes ago. I''ve said what needs to be said. You''ve brought this on
yourself, and you''re going to have to deal with it. No one''s going to help you. Thepany wants
me back for a meeting immediately; I don''t have time to deal with your drama. You''re on your own."
"Le!" The call had already been disconnected. Ariana was scared out of her wits.
She dialed Le again.
"The number you have dialed is busy."
Ariana, already terrified, passed out after hearing the prompt. She knew Le wasn''t messing
around. What emergency meeting could there be at this hour?
There was no doubt about it. She''d been abandoned.
This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.
Refusing to ept this, Ariana dialed Harper, whom she knew had been crushing on her and would
always pick up her call. But the phone was off.
She''d always taken advantage of Harper''s feelings for her, making him shoulder responsibilities for
her. Him cutting her off now was just karma, but she couldn''t ept this reality.
Regret. She was filled with it.
If she could go back a week, she wouldn''t have joined the reality show out of jealousy to sabotage
Izabe. She wouldn''t have tampered with the script. She could''ve stayed home and waited for
work, sticking to the monthly n.
If she hadn''t been so consumed by jealousy, she wouldn''t have framed Izabe, insulted her with
that ount, or spread rumors about her and Casey. She wouldn''t be in this irreversible mess.
But there were no do-overs in life.
How could she have been so stupid to lose to a notorious actress like Izabe?
