Female Novel
Chapter 1575
It was clear that this live stream was timed to capitalize on the trending topic.
Zoey's brow furrowed as she clicked onto the live broadcast of the up-and-coming starlet, a fresh face
that Arthur's former company had been pushing lately.
She had played a supporting role in Arthur's last TV series, and the company had been deliberately
stirring up dating rumors between the two.
Now, the starlet was crying on camera while her fans typed frantic messages below.
[Is this about trouble with Arthur?]
[That jerk must've hooked up with someone from Star Movie Group. I recognize the woman in the
photo with him; it's Zoey from Star Movie Group.]
[Gross, those two should go to hell.]
[Yeah, that's definitely Zoey. Saw her in some other actress's photos before. She's calling the shots at
Star Movie Group now, right?]
As the starlet continued to sob without offering any explanation, her fans only grew more sympathetic.
Before long, the sympathy for her shot to the second spot on the trending topics.
The first was the gossip about Zoey and Arthur.
Zoey watched the video, her face darkened as she finally realized why John had asked her to knock onnovelbin
that door earlier.
Security at the hotel was always tight; there had never been issues with paparazzi before. This photo
had to have been orchestrated by John himself, an underhanded move that was hard to predict.
Elvis instructed his team to monitor the online chatter closely, and then turned to Zoey.
"What's the plan?"
Right now, even if Zoey came out to clarify, nobody would believe her because the photo was
authentic.
If she told the truth, that she was just waking Arthur up, the fans would only be more convinced that
there was an affair.
Moreover, since Arthur had recently jumped ship to Star Movie Group, they had planned to announce
his transfer on Twitter immediately. Now, that news had to be put on hold, lest it throw Zoey and Arthur
further into the storm.
Unable to explain and unable to announce Arthur's new association with Star Movie Group. A chill
passed through her gaze. Corporate backstabbing of this nature was frowned upon in the industry.
She looked up, massaging the bridge of her nose, "Let's hold off on announcing Arthur's signing for
now. I need to think of another way to handle this."
Not explaining would affect Arthur's reputation too, casting him as the bad guy. She turned to Arthur,
"You need to go on Twitter and clarify your relationship with her. Your fans already know your old
company was bleeding you dry. You can be a bit more emphatic this time."
"Alright."
Arthur handed over his phone cooperatively, allowing the PR team to review his statement before it
went live.
The post, once approved, instantly shot to the top, clarifying that his relationship with Yvonne was
purely professional and that their meeting that day was not a date but a cast dinner with everyone
present.
However, he didn't mention Zoey.
Zoey sank into a chair nearby, leaning back as she pondered her next move. Unbeknownst to her, the
moment she became a hot topic, the news was forwarded to Fitch. Mia had sent it.
[Fitch, check out this woman. Her personal life's a mess. Just yesterday she was all over Tyler, and
today she's onto another celeb. Don’t know if she has any disease. Gross.]
Sitting in his office during a meeting, Fitch had initially ignored Mia's message, not even clicking on it.
But then she sent a few more in quick succession.
[That Zoey, I knew she couldn't stay put. Netizens have got it right.]
It was only after seeing this message that Fitch clicked through, instantly spotting the gossip about
Zoey and Arthur, along with the photos.
His eyes narrowed as his fingers scrolled through the vitriolic comments.
"Mr. Haskins?"
Someone was calling him from the side, prompting him to put down his phone with an expressionless
face.
"Continue."
Arthur's reputation had always been stellar, with many female stars noting his gentlemanly behavior in
interviews.
Now that Arthur had cleared the air about that starlet but had left out Zoey, she was left in an
unfavorable position.
Most comments were lambasting Zoey, with a few criticizing the starlet for streaming at such a crucial
time, obviously aiming to ride the wave of attention. New ch?pter av?ilable o? Drамanоvels.coм
"Both women are shameless; Arthur's the real victim here."
"Could Zoey be trying to pull some casting couch nonsense? Let's be honest, Arthur's got the kind of
face that's popular in the cougar circles."
Fitch sat back, succumbing to curiosity and googled Arthur's photos. After a close examination, he
came to a conclusion.
Nothing special.
