Chapter 372
The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride
The smile on Emaniâs face hadnât disappeared in the slightest bit. She was even imagining how she would receive the prize for best actress of the year at an International Film Festival.
âWhat happened? Calm down.â Emani said, as she casually lay across the bed.
âWhy are you still lying there?! Get up and put on your clothes. Are you aware that the company has already started an emergency PR meeting?â The agentâs face turned bright crimson with rage. She pulled Emani to sit up in the bed and with a roar, she said, âWhy are you so dumb? Why couldnât you just sleep at night, like a normal person? Why did you have to post that comment and cause trouble for everyone?â
âWhat are you going on about?â Emani enquired with utter confusion. âWhatâs going on? I did post a tweet just now, but it was a great one, wasnât it? The fans are angrier at that bitch than ever now.â
Her agent was pacing around the room anxiously. âItâs not about that. The fans might not be able to see what you were trying to do, but Kirby Wilde, that paparazzo, was somehow irked by what you had posted. In response, heâs been posting all the bad news about you and theyâve all gone viral now!â
Emani was dumbstruck. She quickly lifted the covers off herself and jumped off the bed to her feet. âLet me see!â The smile on Emaniâs face hadnât disappeared in the slightest bit. She was even imagining how she would receive the prize for best actress of the year at an International Film Festival.
The agent flung the phone in front of her and said, âWell, see for yourself! I have told you time and time again to behave yourself. Why canât you be more sensible? You have executed a myriad of atrocious deed and we spent copious amounts of time and money covering it up. You should have been very careful after all weâve had to do! Why do you have to make trouble for everyone?â
Emani hurriedly clicked on Kirbyâs post to see for herself.
In the article, Kirby specifically pointed out Emaniâs intention in posting what she had said to paint herself as the victim and the other woman the vicious bitch. Kirby also implied that Emani had probably devised this plan and purposely put on this show.
He also exposed the fact that Emani had been sleeping with men to secure roles in plays, as well as bullying other actresses. There were other extensive details of her misdeeds. There were even pictures and videos to prove it.
âHow did he get his hands on such foolproof evidence?â Emani was so flustered that her voice was trembling with anxiety.
With a frigid look, the agent said, âHe has been a paparazzo for years. You should know his reputation of having brought down several A-listers to their knees. If he resolves to take someone down, he ensures he gets solid, irrefutable evidence so that the person will never be able to get back up again.â
Emani felt as if she had been struck by a bolt of lightning. She stumbled backwards to the bed, her face ghastly pale.
Her phone rang endlessly. Her agentâs phone was also incessantly bombarded with call after call. Each call was from a different one of their business partners, cancelling their endorsements and contracts with Emani.
The agent shook her phone at Emani and said, âIâve never seen an actress as stupid as you. Look at how many people are calling me. I was called and informed on my way here that all the brands that have endorsement deals with you want to cancel the contracts and sue you for damages for their losses! Emani, you have ruined your own career! You have no one else to blame!â
The agent was so overwhelmed by the calls that she was filled with frustration and had to just turn off her phone.
It finally dawned upon Emani the facts of the matter when she heard her agentâs words. Flustered, she held a corner of her agentâs clothes and asked pathetically with sobs, âRuby, what should we do now?â
