“Yes, there was no dispute between Layton and I. But ever since I am elected heroine for “Love In
Fire”, he has every reason to find fault with me.”
“That is because Mollie, who once competed for heroine but now acts as a supporting actor is Layton’s
girlfriend. They have been in love for more than a year secretly.”
“That means, if I quit for some unknown reasons, Mollie will be the heroine.”
Anna said with calmness. Her voice was heard by everyone by the aid of microphone.
Journalists all got stounded suddenly. They did not expect there was such an inside story.
If what Anna said was right, Layton would have every reason to pick fault with her. Just think in another
angle, people would find that it would be too easy for Anna to drive somebody away from the cast.
What she needed to do was simply to turn to Dahlia entertainment for help. There would be so many
people were willing to offer help. It would be too stupid to frame her…
After all, Anna was the wife of the CEO of Dahlia entertainment. It would be too easy for her to knock
people out.
It seemed that those journalists all believed what Anna said. Layton clenched his fists when seeing this.
He did not expect Anna to know his relationships with Mollie. In a moment of desperation, he broke out
into curses, “I have never seen such a brazen woman like you since I have been in this profession.
How dare you to drag innocent people in for the sake of your reputation?”
“We are not lovers. Stop making slanderous accusations.”
“Do you have any evidence? I will have my agency hold you accountable for vilification.”
Layton said word by word, fuming with rage between gritted teeth. He had no choice but to pretend to
be threatening so as to hide his fears.
“You want evidence? Would you reveal everything after I present you with evidence?” Anna did not
answer Layton directly, but chose to ask in reply.
She looked calm and confident. It seemed that everything was under control. In contrast, Layton’s
reactions seemed too extreme…
Watched by those journalists, Layton had no choice but to give an affirmative answer, “Yes, I would. If
you have no evidence, stop making nonsense here.”
Anna paused for a moment, and later said to the audience, “I am just the outsider of their relationships.
If Layton refuses to say something, I will let Mollie do his part. This will sound even more convincing. “
“Is Mollie here?” The journalists turned back at the door.
“Anna, do you come with Mollie?”
Layton was amused after hearing the journalist’s question. Even if Mollie did come, she was sure to be
forced by Anna. How would she speak for Anna?
Layton thought he was sure to be the winner finally. It was just Anna’s final struggle.
But at this moment, Anna smiled. There was deliberate provocation in her smile.
Half a minute passed and there still was no trace of Mollie. Not knowing what Anna wanted to do, those
journalists lost their patience.
“Anna, where is Mollie exactly?”
“What on earth evidence do you have?”
Anna knew it was the time to reveal the truth. Therefore, she made a call and said, “Come on in.”
The door was push open again. This time, not only Mollie came, but also Chester Sharp and other
deputy directors showed up.
Mollie felt nervous when seeing many journalists on the spot. She was invited by Director Chester to
talk about the script, but why there appeared so many journalists? And why Anna and Layton stood on
the stage? What happened?
This time, those journalists all raised up their cameras high to take photos without any hesitation.
Things became more and more interesting. What would happen next since the director and main
performers all showed up?
The leading actor, for his beloved girlfriend, pretended to be hurt to play against the heroine?
And the heroine was here to reveal the truth.
Who was telling lies?
“Mollie, are you in relationship with Layton?”
“What did Layton do? Is that for you?”
“Please answer my next question, are you here to clarify the truth?”
“I…” Mollie stumbled back. She turned Director Chester for help but received no reply.
She looked at Anna and Layton. The former seemed calm and collected, the latter, depressed and
gloomy.
Mollie seemed to have her answer after a few minute considerations. She decided she would protect
Layton at any expense no matter what would happen because no matter what this man did, he did for
her, for their love.
So, caught in the spotlight, Mollie gave her answer.
“I have no idea why you ask me this question. We are just friends. I even do not have his phone
numbers.”
“Who said that we are lovers? Anna?”
“I do not know why she said so and why she dragged me in. I have not the faintest idea. I guess she
made up a story to escape the rule of law.”
“Please take responsibility of what you said. Otherwise, I will let my agent to ask for an explanation
from Dahlia entertainment. You have no right to defame me.”
She sounded serious and righteous…
And what she said was similar to what Layton just said.
Facing Mollie’s refutation, Anna did not lose her calmness, instead, she threw a suggestive smile.
Mollie was surprised.
How can she still manage a smile?
“Anna, Mollie denied what you said.”
“Do you have any evidence?”
The journalists were very curious because what was happening now was just too interesting. It was
even more complicated and confusing than those competing stories in the imperial harem.
At this moment, Director Chester went to the stage and said, “In today’s press conference, as the chief
director, I have something to tell you.”
“After my discussion with deputy directors and our investors, we decide to change our actors because
we cannot allow people harboring ill intentions to ruin the quality of our film.”
Anna was right at Director Chester’s side, and she looked very calm.
The journalists were seething at once. The reason why Director Chester brought Mollie here was to lay
bare Anna’s lies and announce the replacement of the heroine?
Layton breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. He knew Anna was bound to fail.
As long as Director Chester announced the decision, everything he did was worthwhile.
“Director Chester, who is going to replace Anna? Mollie?”
“Director Chester, how will you explain to Dahlia entertainment if you replace Anna?”
