Chapter 637 You'll Be In Trouble
Linda's office.
Leia rushed to her office with her skirt in hand, asking right away, "Linda, how did someone steal myrole? Why did the director say that I've been replaced when the drama is about to start filming?"
Linda looked distressed as well. "How do I know? That's the arrangement from the higher-ups. Leia,you've been causing too much trouble lately!
You're too brash..."
God knew she thought her career would soar since she was managing an actress who came from aformidable background and status. However, she did not expect that the innocent image she hadworked so hard to create for Leia over the years would be ruined by Leia herself. Who could give heran explanation for this?
Leia slammed her hand on Linda's desk and looked at her sarcastically." Brash? I've been low-keyenough these days. How am I brash when I've been resting at home for so long? Linda, have you beenslacking off? Look at the roles you've gotten me. They're either annoying second female leads or rolesin some cheesy internet dramas. This is greatly belittling my value. If this goes on, I won’t even be ableto keep my place in the B-list, let alone get promoted to the A-list."
Linda's expression immediately changed after hearing Leia's criticism." Leia, you should know betterthan anyone how I’ve treated you over the years... If I hadn't been cleaning up so many messes behindyou, do you think your screen goddess image would've survived all these years? If you hadn't been soarrogant and dramatic lately, would you have been reduced to this? Your reputation has alreadyplummeted. No directors, producers, or investors dare hire you. I even had to shamelessly beg for thesmall roles you despise, yet you're calling me lazy. In that case, you can find another agent."
Leia instantly felt a little guilty when she saw that Linda was mad and serious.
Leia pulled herself together and explained, "Linda, I'm sorry. I was so angry because someone stole myrole that I ignored your feelings. I know it's hard for you too. I won't do it again."
To be honest, Linda was really nice to her. Whether it was Linda's means or contacts, she wasincomparable to the other agents.
The most important thing was that Linda knew her so well that she would never get used to anotheragent.
Linda's expression softened a little when she heard Leia say this.
She shook her head and reminded her, "Leia, don't you think... the scandals you've been embroiled inthese days are rather baffling? The studio has already issued a statement to clarify that it wasn't you inthe video of you seducing the chief physician some time ago. It's just that the person in the video lookssimilar to you. As for the newly surfaced negative news, I'm sure someone must be messing with youbehind the scenes. I had someone investigate it in secret but we found nothing even after investigatingup and down. It's unusual... I've thought about it. It must be because the mastermind has a strongbackground. Think about it. Have you offended anyone lately?" 'Offended someone?'
To be honest, Leia had offended only a few people, but there were definitely some.
In the entertainment industry, Leia had indeed snatched several famous actresses' roles by using herbackground, but they had far less powerful backgrounds than her, so they could only endure it whenshe stole their roles.
Leia could confidently say that no one in the entertainment industry dared to mess with her due to herparents' status.
'If it's no one in the entertainment industry, then it can only be...’
Remembering that she had secretly set up Bianca more than once and Luke’s sinister, cold eyes, aswell as the way he had watched with a halfsmile as white snakes bit her after ordering someone tokidnap her...
Leia felt goosebumps all over her.
'Could it be him?'
Leia even took two steps back in terror. Her eyes were wide open as if she was stuck in the horriblememory.
"What’s come over you, Leia?"
Linda worriedly tugged on Leia, only to hear her terrified scream. "Ah!"
Linda was shocked by her scream. She patted Leia on the shoulder, only to see her eyes staringblankly at her, looking resentful and helpless.novelbin
"Linda, I know who's messing with me behind the scenes. It must be him. Yes, it must be him!" "Who isit?" Linda had a bad feeling.
"Luke!" Leia said through gritted teeth, "I have a lot of issues with Bianca. I've done some bad things toher. She must have instigated Luke to retaliate against me!"
Linda was stunned when she heard it was Luke.
Then, she said with a headache, "It would be terrible if it’s him. Unless your father does something, wehave no other way."
Ashamed, Leia said, "Linda, in this situation... I have a feeling my dad is vaguely against me. Besides,he has never liked me working in show business. I don't think he'll help me. My mom usually dotes onme, but what you don't know is that she still listens to my dad when the chips are down.”
Linda sighed again and hinted to her somewhat intentionally. "Then you should find a backer as strongas Luke. Isn't the Blatt family's third heir interested in you? Leia, you must take advantage of theopportunity, or you'll be in trouble."
Despite her desperate reluctance, Leia still nodded firmly with a gloomy face.
How could she throw in the towel before the last moment...
Bianca had only stayed in the hospital for two days before Wanda asked her to go home, saying thatthe private hospital had a good environment. Plus, it was bad for the pregnant woman and the baby tostay in the hospital for too long.
Finally, she threatened Bianca to go home and rest or she would go on a hunger strike.
Bianca's aunt did not leave her a choice, so she could only consult Luke.
Luke hired two experienced caretakers for Aunt Wanda who took turns to take care of Wanda. Onlythen did Bianca leave the hospital while feeling relieved.
In the mansion.
The weather was fine and sunny.
Standing in front of the French window, one could see the blue sky and the misty clouds. Everythingwas so beautiful and dreamy, but Bianca's mood was opposite to the beautiful weather.
"What's on your mind?" Luke closed his laptop and reached from behind to hug Bianca who waslooking at the sky as she stood in front of the window.
Bianca frowned. "I'm still worried about Aunt Wanda's illness. She's so sick but still refuses to have theoperation." i
Luke hugged her body tighter, his chin resting on her shoulder. His voice was magnetic and deep as hesaid, "Don't worry. I've contacted the best breast cancer specialist. He'll come to A City in a few days.We'll try to avoid having her go for the operation. If it's necessary, I'll try to have him minimize thetrauma. Then maybe Aunt Wanda will be more receptive to the idea."
Bianca nodded gently. "I thank you on behalf of Aunt Wanda." "Silly girl.’ "By the way, Mrs. Norman hasbeen contacting me for the last couple of days. She wants me to design for her company. Besides,she's been acting a little strange toward me lately. I don't know if I'm imagining this, but I have a feelingthat she's extremely... enthusiastic toward me."
Bianca recalled Queenie's attitude toward her and felt that something was wrong.
