Matthew said, “Don’t worry. Vallie. I’ve already told them to support you. Grandma is very excited and says our family will

to the box

Sophia was not just excited. To show her support, Sophia got up early to buy movie tickets. With the film’s release expected to be a box office hit, tickets were hard to come by. She even rented several cinemas in advance to promote Valerie. Particularly, for theaters invested in by the Grant Group, Sophia wanted all screenings to feature Valerie’s movie. It was only when Matthew intervened, suggesting it was excessive, that she reluctantly stopped.

Therefore, Valerie didn’t need to worry at all. Sophia herself didn’t mind Valerie having intimate actions with the male actor. If anyone else dared to complain, it would be like going against Sophia. If she got angry, no one would be happy.

Valerie laughed when she heard this. Sophia was quite endearing. However, she was also touched by how Sophia was so wholeheartedly supporting her career.

She had never imagined that her every little effort would be magnified by her family.

Even at her advanced age, Sophia still made the effort to get tickets, which made Valerie feel that the Grant family truly valued her. That was how a family should be.

It wasn’t just Sophia Everyone in the crew was also scrambling for tickets. For this box office battle, the creative team and the behind–the–scenes staff even reserved screenings for friends and family to boost the box office.

But just as she was getting ready, Matthew received a phone call.

“What did you say? His face turned stern. He frowned and glanced at Valerie, who was eagerly dressing and preparing to leave.

Matthew said into the phone, “I understand. I’ll be there soon.”“

He then called out to Valerie. “Wait. Don’t leave yet!”

Valerie looked at him in surprise. “Aren’t we going to the theater? There are so many people waiting in the line!”

Sophia came over to urge them, “Why aren’t you leaving The movie is about to stand

Matthew explained gently, “Charles just called. There’s a traffic jam on the road to the theater, and there’s been an accident. To avoid any issues, we should skip it now and let them enjoy the movie first. We can catch the next show!”

He added, “Valerie, you’re pregnant, so you need to be careful traveling, especially during the holiday, I don’t want

any trouble.”

Upon hearing Matthew, Sophia suddenly realized. “Right, you’re right! On Christmas Day, many people are out having fun and shopping. Today is also the premiere, and it’ll be crowded. We’ll wait for the next show. Be careful. This is your first baby!”

Sophia added. “Matthew, you’re thoughtful. It’s fine to wait for the next show!

Valerie thought about it and agreed with a nod.

Matthew saw her still looking uncertain, patted her head, and said, “Why don’t you take a nap?”

He

e took Valerie to the bedroom, let her rest on the bed, and quietly left.

He drove to the theater. Upon arrival, he saw many fans gathered outside, holding banners. Matthew’s face darkened as he read the banners. “Boycon ‘Once Upon A Time, reject face–swapping and reshoots!”

“Unethical. Give us fairness! Reject hype and trash box office!”

“True love is invincible. Homewrecker should get out of the entertainment industry!”

Mathew clenched his fists tightly. Standing beside him, Charles said, “They are Angel’s fans. They know the premier is today, so they’re protesting against Mrs. Grant now. There are also many negative posts online, hinting that Mrs. Grant used the Grant Group to suppress Angell”

Matthew opened his phone and saw that “Once Upon A Time” had topped the trending searches, but not because of the film’s quality. Instead, it was about negative news concerning the lead actress.

One of the most clicked articles read, “Popular star’s image crumbles, Major scandal revealed, Suspected setup and framing?”

The article exposed that Angel, a rising star, had a past relationship p with Matthew. It claimed that a scheming mistress used her pregnancy to replace Angel and forced her out.

The article never named names directly but pointedly suggested that Valerie was the mistress.

The scandal was jaw–dropping.

fter reading the article, Matthew squinted. It claimed he and Angel were in love, but Valerie had ruined their relationship. Another article hinted falerie had drugged Angel, causing her to have a live–stream incident.

Matthew frowned, thinking these people hadn’t used their brains when they wrote these articles.
