Chapter 174
How could she have signed with Magi Pictures?
Unless…
Dorian suddenly thought of something even more unbelievable.
Unless this was all a game Kieran had set up for Lila. But why? How could that be possible?
Why would a prestigious family like the Morgans even set their eyes on Lila?
Dorian dismissed his thoughts furiously. Kieran was collaborating with him and had signed onto Heart of Clarity. This project was worth far more than the breach- of-contract penalty with Nexus Entertainment.
He found himself trapped in a loop of confusion.
“There’s one more thing,” Owen said, watching Dorian’s expression shift repeatedly.
Dorian looked at Owen, sensing whatever he would say next was not good news as well.
“Mr. Blake, didn’t you know you’re trending too?” Owen asked in amusement.
At these words, Dorian’s gaze instantly turned colder. He felt he could finally connect the dots.
Amelia had already taken out her phone to check the news. When she looked back up at him, her expression was indescribably complex.
Before Dorian could take a look himself, he received a call from Oliver. Dorian answered the call, and his face turned cold before Oliver even finished speaking.
He ended the call abruptly, then turned and walked out without a word.
Lila glanced at Dorian, and the disdain in his eyes deepened.
Thinking Lila was curious about what had happened, Amelia leaned closer and whispered, “He’s been exposed for taking a woman into a hotel room.”
Lila’s calm gaze shifted slightly, but it quickly returned to its serene state.
Owen returned to being friendly. “This has nothing to do with us. What we need to focus on are the many follow-up tasks for our
collaboration. The rookies undel
you
will wrap up their current filmshoot and head straight to the variety show Magi Pictures arranged.”
He paused slightly before continuing, “But by then, you’ll need to be here to
oversee the casting. Will you be able to manage your schedule?
“The company has assigned them an assistant. I worked with him & before, and he’s highly capable, He can oversee the variety show. I’ll be here as planned. There’s no O problem.”
Owen was clearly pleased at the response. He nodded and, along with Amelia, escorted Lila out of the Citrus Media building.
Dorian drove all the way back to the company with a sullen expression. He exuded a menacing and vengeful energy.
The PR department of Nexus Entertainment was working urgently to contain the situation, but it did nothing to ease Dorian’s foul mood.
The moment he entered his office, he swept everything off his desk in a fit of rage and fixed a deathly glare on Oliver. “Didn’t I tell you to handle it?”
“I already paid that woman hush money. This shouldn’t have been her doing.”
“So you’re telling me the real culprit hasn’t been found yet?”
“We’ve already secured the rest of the hotel’s surveillance footage. I uploaded a video of the woman helping you to your room, explaining that you were drunk. The PR team is managing the comments now, and a lot of your fans are defending you. This shouldn’t cause any major damage,” Oliver replied anxiously.
“Is that so?” Dorian sneered.
Just then, Oliver’s phone rang. It was someone from Magi Pictures, and he answered hurriedly.
The other party said something briefly, and Oliver’s face turned pale gradually.
