Chapter 215
Fletcher wore a mask, and he waved in Lila’s direction.
Lila paused for a moment before driving closer. She lowered the window to reveal her beautiful but expressionless face.
“Ms. Hart, I’m really sorry. It’s my fault for dragging you into this and affecting your mood. I truly apologize, but those people won’t listen to my clarification. They just think I was forced to clarify by you. I’m really sorry.”
Seeing her unlike her usual gentle self, he looked even more guilty, almost as if he was physically burdened by the shame.
“I’m really sorry. I came here not only to apologize but to ask if there’s anything I can do to help. We must resolve this quickly before it affects the premiere.”
She lowered her head, and when she raised it again, a trace of frustration appeared on her face. “It’s definitely a bit troublesome. The company’s clarification isn’t working, and now those fans are calling for me to leave the production.”
“What should we do? How about I hold a press conference and do a live-stream clarification? Would that work?” he suggested, his voice full of distress.
His words seemed genuine, and he appeared even more troubled than Lila. “It’s all my fault for dragging you into this.”
“It’s fine. It’s not like I have no way out. They’re all obsessed with you and that actress, right? How about you two do a live stream together? Show that you’re still on good terms and that our cooperation is normal.
“If those fans see how sweet you two are, they’ll definitely get caught up in their sugar rush again. With these fabricated rumors, they’ll collapse naturally. What do you think?”
She smiled brightly at him, her eyes serious as if she truly believed this was a good idea.
Fletcher looked stunned for a moment, then after a few seconds, he let out a bitter laugh. “Ms. Hart, don’t tease me. You know how tough it’s been with the fans. If I follow their lead, I’ll probably be forced to quit the industry.”
He paused, and she chuckled lightly, “I’m just joking. Don’t worry about it. I’ve already found the mastermind behind this.
“They’re targeting me, but you’re the one who’s been caught in the crossfire. I’ll take care of it. Just focus on your acting.
“As for the fans, I have a way to handle them. I have to go now. Bye.” Lila’s smile was confident and casual, as if she had everything under control.
He stood there and watched her leave for a long time. He didn’t move until her car was completely out of sight. He then pursed his lips and left.
The air conditioning in Dorian’s office at Nexus Entertainment was too cold. When Fletcher entered, he almost shivered.
He frowned, glancing at the figure lying motionless on the couch. The person didn’t even move when he heard the sound.
“This ends here. I don’t want to hurt an innocent person anymore, especially not the one who tried to pull me out of the mud.”
The person who had been motionless suddenly looked up at Fletcher after hearing his words. Dorian’s gaze was cold, with a touch of cruel amusement as he played with the situation.
“She pulled you out of the mud? What kind of dream are you having?”
“No company wants to work with me in my current situation, but Lila did. If it
hadn’t been for her choosing me, I might have already been abandoned by the
company. I wouldn’t even have the right to stand here now.”
Fletcher took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his chest. “I really want to get rid of those extreme fans, those who can’t teff right from wrong and live in their fantasy world. But Lila doesn’t owe me anything. I can’t drag her into this.
“You know yery well what kind of backlash she will face if people think she’s involved in unfair practices or being forced into breaking up the couple, and yet you’re still doing this. This isn’t love-it’s obsession!”
His last words hit Dorian hard. He suddenly stood up, his eyes dark and furious. “What do you know about love?
“How can I not love her? No one in the world loves her more than I do. That’s why
I want her back by my side. Only I can love her the way she deserves.”
Fletcher frowned and stepped back, feeling like the person before him had completely lost it. He couldn’t understand how Dorian had so easily swayed him in the past.
Following Dorian’s plan, he got close to Lila and spread rumors online to frame her and accuse her of
seducing him, all to get rid of then et
extreme fans who were suffocating him. He just wanted to be free of these people.
