Chapter 91
Bella’s image was completely ruined. She was cast aside by those in the entertainment industry. In the past, Bella had a lot of diehard fans who defended her no matter what scandals popped up about her. They always fought against haters online. Yet, when this news broke out, many of Bella’s fans turned into her haters themselves and joined in with the others against her. This time, there was no way to clean up the mess. The Wyatt sisters were all quiet. None of them said anything for a long while. It was not just the media outlets fueling the flames. Many official accounts also called her out and accused her of things. “The public opinion is affecting the company, too. Our stock price has plummeted to a record low in the span of a day. We lost billions!” Clara said solemnly. When Clara said that, her other sisters failed to keep their composure. Their faces grew darker. The impact of this incident was more massive than they had ever imagined. “After getting the news,
Chapter 92
At the Langley family villa, Camille slowly regained consciousness. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw the worried Dustin and Simone’s worried faces. “Simone, Dustin, where am I? Why do I feel so dizzy?” Camille asked blearily. Memories from before she fainted slowly came back. She remembered that Bella had called her and urged her to drink some wine. After she drank the wine, she felt weak and drowsy. She recalled seeing a lecherous smile on the face of that rich man as he approached her…Camille’s eyes widened, and she immediately sprang upright and threw aside the covers. “Simone, I… How did I get home?” Her eyes welled up, and she trembled. She was only in her twenties and had never experienced such trauma. “Don’t worry. Nothing happened to you,” Simone said gently as she caressed Camille’s forehead. “Dustin brought you home from the hotel. He already dealt with the culprit.” Camille looked at Dustin when she heard that. Dustin nodded at her. Only t
Chapter 93
It would not be an exaggeration to say that Camille was stunned and speechless at the attention she was getting. “Dustin, is Ruby the friend you mentioned? You’re amazing! I can’t believe you know Ruby!” Camille looked at Dustin in delight. Camille felt like this was a great honor. A famous agent wanted to sign her on even though she was a newbie. She had never even starred in anything before! “What? A friend?” Ruby looked shocked when she heard that. “Miss Camille, please don’t misunderstand. I’m not…” She wanted to explain, but she did not dare to say another word when Dustin shot her a look. The doorbell rang again. Simone went to the door. This time, the person who arrived was a plump, middle-aged man in glasses. “You’re the famous director, Horace Timm!” Simone said in surprise. Even as an outsider in the entertainment industry, Simone knew who Horace was. He was a respected and famous director with many notable productions to his name. He had won countless
Chapter 94
In a ward of Rivenesco First Hospital, Bella used her uninjured hand to make a call. “Hello, Mr. Xander, didn’t you say you wanted to cast me as the female lead in that drama? Is the offer still up?” she asked with a bit of hope. She was going to go insane. The internet was filled with insults that nearly drove her to the brink of a mental breakdown. She felt a little better only after Amara stopped her from going online. But she still could not hold herself back, and she did not want to give up. “Bella, your reputation is ruined, and you still want a film? The Broadcasting Board has already imposed a ban. Nobody dares to even make you an offer. Just stay as a good commoner, and don’t dream of becoming an actress ever again!” said an impatient voice from the other end of the line. Bella’s face stiffened. “Mr. Xander, I don’t need to be paid! The ban from the Broadcasting Board only applies within the country. They cannot ban things abroad. After filming, we can release it
Chapter 95
When Dustin heard that, his face darkened. He pulled Simone along and strode forward. At the set of The Legend of the Swordsman 4, a group of people surrounded Camille and a woman. The woman pointed viciously at Camille and yelled at her. Camille dared not speak. She just endured the woman’s shouting like a helpless victim. The people around were watching with interest. Some even looked slightly amused. “Camille Langley, look at yourself carefully. Do you really think you’re good enough for the lead role? Everyone here has more experience than you! Even a supporting actress is more qualified than you!” The woman pointed at Camille’s face, and her tone of voice was aggressive and arrogant.“Looking at your fake innocent face makes me sick! You have no talent and no skills. I heard that you just used to be an extra. How many people did you sleep with to get this lead role? Why don’t you just tell us?” Camille’s eyes welled up with tears. She felt helpless. It was the first d
Chapter 96
The crew looked at each other in disbelief. Who was this guy? He had the audacity to call the director by his name and demand him to come out here… Horace was one of the most respected directors in Lovellia. It was said that he had an extraordinary background, and even the top figures would treat him with respect. How dare this brat order him about? Even Simone and Camille were startled. Horace Timm was no ordinary person. Was it not inappropriate to demand his presence in front of the whole crew? The woman sneered. “How arrogant! Do you even know who he is? How dare you demand that Mr. Timm appear here for you? Ha! You’ve clearly lost your mind if you don’t know your place!” she said with a sneer and a face full of mockery. “When Mr. Timm gets here, you’re done for!” “Who let this brat in? This is no place for you to mess around! Get lost!” shouted someone from the crew. “You hit Rachel Zahn! Do you know who her boyfriend is? You’re really asking for trouble!”
Chapter 97
Horace was not interested in hearing her out. He walked up to Dustin. “Mr. Fox, I sincerely apologize. I was inside discussing production matters with a few of the producers and wasn’t aware of what was happening outside,” Horace said apologetically. “I assure you that this will never happen again!” When Horace said that, the place fell into a dead silence. Everyone looked shocked, the entire set fell silent. Was this really the rumored “Steely Director?” With his status and reputation, he did not even bother with the big shots of Central Harbor! But he was bowing and apologizing to an unknown brat! The whole crew was stunned. If the word got out, this would definitely make headlines tomorrow! Rachel’s eyes widened. Who exactly was this guy? Why was Mr. Timm so respectful toward him? Simone and Camille were also shocked. They thought that Horace accepted the offer of the film only because he somehow knew Dustin. It seemed he was somehow lower than Dustin.
Chapter 98
After resolving the conflict within the crew, Horace personally apologized to Camille along with a few producers.“Miss Camille, it was my oversight that led to this farce. I sincerely apologize,” Horace said as he bowed to Camille. Camille looked panicked, and she quickly waved her hands. “No, no, it was my own fault for not handling my relationship with everyone well. How could it be your fault, Mr. Timm?” she stammered. He was a famous director. It was shocking that he was apologizing to her like this. She wondered what kind of power Dustin possessed to humble the “Steely Director” himself. This completely shattered her understanding of the world. The first day of filming The Legend of the Swordsman 4 ultimately ended with the entire crew being restructured. In the evening, Dustin and Simone took Camille to a food truck to cheer her up. “Dustin, Simone, I know I’m a newcomer, and I don’t have any experience, but I also want to seize this opportunity…” Camille said d
