Chapter 17 The Bad Guy

Sophia took a disdainful look at Pierce. Then, she turned around, walked past him, and left.

Sophia thought, “How could I actually fall in love with Pierce?

“I was so stupid.”

Aylen was standing beside the car and waiting. Seeing Sophia, he immediately opened the rear door.

“Ms. Cruise…”

Sophia took a look at Aylen’s face. Aylen had bruises and blood around his mouth. Sophia bent and got

into the car.

In the car.

After a pause, Sophia said, “Aylen, you can take a day off tomorrow. Go to the hospital and see a

doctor. I’ll pay for the medical bills.”

Aylen smiled. There was no one else, so they were casual.

“Ms. Cruise, don’t worry about me. I’m fine. I’ll apply ice, and it won’t be so swollen tomorrow.

“I was too careless. Mr. Cruise told me to keep Mr. Clement away from you. I’ll pay more attention.”

Sophia raised a smile. Hearing what Aylen said, she was relieved.

However, the next day, public opinion online became negative and strong again.

“Emelia was oppressed by the unspoken rules of showbiz and almost got hurt!”

“She just joined the company, while the company made her drink with a man. Do the showbiz

newcomers have no dignity?”

“Eagle Entertainment has always been oppressing the newcomers!”

There were a lot of similar comments.

In the picture that was posted online, Emelia angrily poured wine on the film producer.

The producer looked disgusting, while Emelia looked brave.

The comments were violent. People criticized the unspoken rules of showbiz. They felt sorry for Emelia

and supported her, thinking that she was brave enough to break the rules.

Eagle Entertainment was criticized, and it became a trending topic.

Eagle Entertainment’s stock price was falling. Sophia got a lot of calls.

Aylen called Sophia.

“Ms. Cruise, I’m downstairs. The reporters were gathering at Mr. Brant’s door. He had a heart attack in

anger and was sent to the hospital. The company is in a mess now.”

Sophia frowned. “I see. I’ll come over right now.”

Sophia changed her clothes simply and went downstairs with her

purse.

Aylen looked upset. In the car, he reported to Sophia.

“This is the worst public opinion warfare against Eagle Entertainment

ever. Mr. Brant is pretty upset. People in showbiz are watching. If we don’t deal with it well, the whole

showbiz may get into trouble, and the company may be blamed.

“I have asked the platform to cancel the posts. But the news is getting more and more attention.

Canceling the posts doesn’t work.”

Sophia pressed her lips.

“What did the producer and his team say?”

“They are more anxious and don’t know how to explain it. The producer closed his comment area. He

wants us to clarify it.”

After a short pause, Aylen continued, “By the way, I found out who exposed the picture.”

Sophia pursed her lips and frowned.

“Emelia did it, didn’t she?”

Aylen nodded. “She put a mobile phone in the private room in advance and took the picture secretly.”

Sophia raised her eyes, a little surprised.

“Is it possible that someone else helped her do that?”

After all, there were a lot of people at the scene.

Aylen smiled, took out a spare phone from his chest pocket, handed it to Sophia, and reported

honestly.

“Ms. Cruise, it was your first business party yesterday, so I was very careful.”

Sophia was a little shocked. She took over the phone and watched the

video, which was twenty minutes long. Sophia instantly understood.

She looked at Aylen and gave him a thumbs–up.

“Aylen, you are a genius.”

With a red face, Aylen touched his head shyly.

“I don’t know how to tell people this. After all, I filmed it secretly.”

Sophia grinned, “I’ll figure out a way.”

Aylen suddenly remembered something and immediately said.

“By the way, the Clement Group is controlling public opinion.”

Just as Aylen finished his words, Sophia’s phone rang.

It was a familiar number.

Pierce called.

Sophia didn’t answer the phone. She rejected it directly.

However, her phone kept ringing.

Sophia put Pierce’s number on the blacklist directly. But not long after` that, Chad called her.

Sophia paused. Among Pierce’s friends, Chad was the one close to Sophia.

Sophia answered Chad’s call, but she heard Pierce’s hoarse voice.

“Sophia, don’t respond to the comments online yet. I’ll solve the problem.”

With a gloomy face, Sophia raised a cold smile.

“Stop pretending. You know you are the bad guy.”

After a few seconds of silence, Pierce said, “My mother did that. I have. nothing to do with it.”

Pierce explained and wanted Sophia to know that he was innocent.

Sophia chuckled and then hung up.

It didn’t matter who did that.

Chad looked at Pierce’s sulky face and complained.

“Pierce, you are putting me in trouble too. What if Sophia doesn’t answer my call anymore?”

Pierce glanced at Chad coldly and threw the phone back.

He was angry that Sophia picked up Chad’s call.

Eagle Entertainment was overwhelmed by the comments online.

But Sophia didn’t let people post the video quickly.

She was waiting for a chance. When her enemies thought they were about to win and people all

defended them, it would be the best time for Sophia to fight back.

So, even though the company received a lot of calls, Eagle Entertainment’s headquarters did nothing

as if it was no big deal.

At noon.

Sandra invited Sophia to lunch.

They went to the restaurant they usually went to.

“I went to your home, but your parents said you live outside. So, I

came to your company.”

“Were they worried?”

Sandra said with a smile, “They trust you a lot. They didn’t say a lot and just asked me to take you to a

nice meal.”

Sophia was relieved. They went into the restaurant arm in arm. There were few people. Sophia and

Sandra chose a table beside the window.

Sandra ordered food quickly. When she and Sophia were waiting, they heard a baby babbling at the

door.

They turned around and saw Emelia come in with Pierce’s mother, Ava. Emelia and Ava pushed a baby

carriage. Luke, who looked like Pierce a lot, was sitting in it.

Emelia and Ava looked very intimate.

Sandra recognized them immediately. She cursed in a low voice.

“Damn! What a bad day. Now I have lost my appetite.”

Sophia withdrew her gaze and lifted an eyebrow casually.

“Just pretend they are not here.”

Sophia said that.

Then immediately, Emelia saw Sophia. She held Ava’s arm and spoke in a pathetic way.

“Ava, isn’t it Ms. Cruise? What a small world. I didn’t expect to meet

her here.

“Ms. Cruise is in charge of Eagle Entertainment. She made me drink with the producer.”

Seeing Sophia, Ava immediately became unhappy as if she had seen some trash.

“She took my son’s money to eat at such an upscale restaurant and embarrassed the Clement family

online. What a bitch.”

Sophia paused. Opposite her, Sandra couldn’t contain her anger and stood up.

“You old vixen, who took your son’s money? Your son cheated and got an illegitimate kid. He

humiliated your family. How dare you blame Sophia for that?”

The silence in the restaurant was broken.

Ava’s face looked funny. She was used to people flattering her and wouldn’t give in.

“She was too useless to keep her husband. It was shameless that she threatened my son to marry her.

And after three years, she still couldn’t be pregnant. How dare she show up?

“No matter what kind of person Emelia is, she gave birth to the first grandkid of the Clement family!”
