Chapter 252

Chapter 252 Helping Her Become a Top Star Maya’s detention on suspicion of intentional homicide quickly topped the hot search. She used to be Universal TV’s leading actress, a familiar figure and a beautiful woman in the eyes of the people in recent years.

When the news came out, people were shocked and couldn’t believe that Maya, who had always been dignified, elegant, pure and quiet, could be associated with “murderer”, “attempted murder” and “intentional murder”. How could it be?

When netizens thought that this was a fake news that was put out by marketing accounts for profits, and tried to defend Maya, a surveillance video was posted on the Internet. Everything on the video was clear and in full HD except for the mosaic on the face of the victim and the brave rescuer. The scene il the entrance of the district was Century Mansion, a wealthy district. Many people knew that Maya did live there. The license plate number of the BMW 7 W.IS soon found to be Maya’s. In the surveillance video, the BMW 7 stayed at the entrance for a while. The driver crashed into the passerby though the driver knew there was someone walking in front. Seeing was believing The video was so clear. Obviously, it was not a lake news But Maya’s loyallans insisted that this was a fake news used by somebody to smear Maya. They also said that although the car was Maya’s, the person who drove it was not necessarily Maya. They guessed that somebody borrowed her car to comunit the murder. Eliza, who also worked at Universal TV, as Maya’s niece, was the first to speak out on social media platforms to support Maya. She insisted that her aunt was innocent and believed that justice finally talked! As soon as her words were posted, she immediately attracted the support of Maya’s fans. In just a few hours, Eliza’s fans increased by more than 100,000. She gained more and more followers, including some haters who came to attack and scold her. But haters were also followers, showing her great popularity.

Eliza, who was new to the industry, not yet popular on Universal TV, and had no job offers, received numerous phone calls and private messages these days. There were job offers pouring in. She was flattered to be beautiful and elegant and was considered to be a second Maya Eliza modestly refused at first, claiming that she had just joined the industry and was still a newcomer with little experience and achievement. She said that she had no other intention than to support her aunt Maya. But then more people complimented her, and she gradually believed that she was excellent. She told herself, “A second Maya? I do not want to be a stand-in. lam Eliza, and my future achievements will definitely be more impressive than my aunt’s.” While she was latitasizing, Alan called her. Instead of complimenting her, Alan scolded, “Are you a tool? Why are you posting at this time? You are making things worse, Remove it quickly. If anyone asks you again, you can say you don’t know anything about it, got it?”

Being scolded, Eliza was durnbtounded. When her parents saw the news and came back from abroad and found hier, Eliza was still confused.

Eliza’s father asked her with a serious face. “What the hell is point on? Why was your athl detained and charged with ‘attempted murder’ for no reason at all? Who did she want to kill? How could she be so stupid to do it herself?”

Eliza’s mother was in a panic, saying, “My relatives and friends have all called me. How did things get so worse? Will your aunt affect you? Is there any hope for you to get a promotion at the TV station?”

In the Traditional Medicine Center, Hailey took out Charlotte’s treasured tea and made a pot of tea for Brook who was busy in front of the computer. Brook was familiar with such things. He thought he was becoming a professional media worker. Ryan was not interested in online matters. He drank the tea made by Hailey and held a pile of newspapers in his hand. While watching the social news leisurely, he signed how bad these people were and what a corrupt society it was. For him, he would like to live in seclusion happily and quietly. Brook laughed, his eyes lighting up, and he said, “Eliza is so silly.”

Hailey lifted her eyes absently and said, “Well?”

Brook turned the computer over to Hailey, saying, “The Brown family is having a press conference.”

“What?”

Matthew was sitting cross-legged on the couch in Owen’s office. When he saw the latest news, he was confused for a moment, and looked over at Owen, saying, “The Brown family is having a press conference!” Owen glanced and Matthew showed him the news, laughing, “Is your crush, your ex-

girlfriend a fool?” Owen couldn’t help but frown at the word “crush”. But it was true that she was a tool.

During this period, one of the media contacted Eliza. After knowing Eliza’s story, the media actively lobbied her to hold a press conference, claiming that it would not only help Maya, but also help Eliza to become a top star. A top star… What a tempting condition!

In fact, when she decided to join the industry, Eliza wanted to be an actress, doing commercials and acting. But Maya rejected her at once and even taught her, “Do you think it’s so easy to enter the showbiz as an actress?

What do you have? Your pretty face? Are you as beautiful as I was when I was young? I have struggled for most of my life to get to the status I have today. However, you want to get to the top in one step. You’re daydreaming. I have Alan behind me, and I can’t get any resources. You are now relying on me, and I’ve gone out of my way to ask for a chance for you to get into Universal TV. It is enough for you. Stop daydreaming ||

anymore.

Maya continued, “Be honest and do your hosting. Have you ever studied acting if you want to be an actress?

You can’t act well in front of men. How dare you want to act under the camera in front of hundreds of people?

Who gave you the courage? Have you ever heard of the saying that there is a big difference between dream and daydream?”

At that time, Eliza didn’t dare to retort. She was not convinced in her heart. Now that she was given such a chance to make herself popular, she had to seize it. How could she let it go? So, in front of countless cameras and flashing lights, Eliza played a big drama. She shed tears, swore, and slowly read out the lines someone had written for her. She told them, “It is said that seeing is believing. But is what you see necessarily true?”

She paused and then continued, “At that time, it is true that my aunt was in the car. But I was at the scene.

Everything happened just by accident. I don’t know if there was a problem with the car or if my aunt didn’t step on the brakes because I wasn’t in the car. But please believe in my aunt Maya’s personality. She is kind-hearted. How could she intentionally harm and kill people? I swear that she never did it.”

However, when it came to the Q&A session, a reporter stood up and asked a question. “Miss Brown, you said you were at the scene. So may I ask if you had your back to the car, or were you facing the car?”

Eliza was stunned, saying, “I think… I was… facing the car. I forgot.”

“You just said that what you see is not necessarily true. But then you said you were there to witness everything happen by accident. Since you were not the one involved and did not know what she did and what was in her mind, how can you speak on behalf of Ms. Maya? If you think that what people see through surveillance video is fake, how can you prove that what you have seen is true?”

“I…” Eliza opened her mouth.

The reporter said, “You said you forgot where you were standing. But it is clearly recorded on the surveillance video that when it happened, you were talking to a man with your back to the car. Only when the man rushed over to save the injured, you turned around. On the surveillance video, you looked very astonished… In a word, you are clearly lying!”

Eliza was dumbfounded. Facing the camera, she panicked all of a sudden.
