Chapter 131 Prepare to Watch a Good Show at Midnight
"You still have the nerve to get your company to issue an announcement to clarify things? It doesn't
even have an official seal. Do you think it'll work?"
"I really liked you, but I didn't think that you would do such a thing! Very disappointed. Unfollowed!"
"As expected, actors are all the same! They present themselves a certain way on TV, but are
completely different in real life! Someone like you should totally flop!!"
Seeing the public opinion online, Hattie was very impatient.
"What should we do, Gwenda? The announcement was useless. Now everyone's more pissed than
ever."
Gwenda was rather calm compared to her assistant. "Don't worry, I want you to contact someone for
me. He should have some evidence on hand that would prove Karter's innocence."
As she spoke, she handed over the man's information to Hattie, who immediately went to do as she
was told.
...
Not long after, Gwenda contacted Laurinda again and said, "Laurinda, it's time for you to fulfil your role
once more..."
...
...
At the same time, over at Karter's house, Eloise was still discussing countermeasures with him.
After he listened to her suggestion, Karter frowned. "Can Evans' words be trusted? What if I miss the
right time to clarify things by keeping silent? Also, how would those reporters know where I live? Did
she send you to deal with me?"
"I know that you're very impatient right now, but you've got to calm down."
Eloise sat on his couch with a solemn expression on her face.
"We're already in the middle of a crisis, and you want me to calm down?"
Karter paced back and forth anxiously. "Eloise, I signed with M Studios because I trusted you. But now
I think that Gwenda Evans is completely out of her depth! You've got to hurry up and think of a way to
fix this."
"Karter Hogan!"
Eloise gazed at him sharply as her tone became stern. "This happened because you refused to heed
Gwenda's advice by taking on the show! Besides, she had already reminded you to distance yourself
from the female guests. Why didn't you listen to her?"
"I..."
Karter was speechless.
How was he supposed to know that Gwenda's words would come true?
"Then what should I do now? Just wait while she helps me deal with it? Is she experienced in this?"
Karter still did not believe in her.
Eloise frowned and was about to answer when a commotion could be heard outside the door.
Soon, the assistant ran in and said, "Karter, there's a whole bunch of paps outside."
Karter was stunned.
Eloise was also very surprised. "Gwenda's quite good at predicting things, huh."
Karter found it unbelievable. "How did she know?"
"Forget about how she knows this. Just follow her instructions and stay home. Don't go anywhere."
Eloise stood up. "Leave it to us."
With that, she walked away.
Karter looked at her retreating figure and frowned, muttering doubtfully, "This Gwenda Evans... how
could she be so powerful?"
...
Outside, the paparazzi surrounded Eloise the moment she walked out the door.
"Miss Graham, as Karter's agent, do you have anything to say with regards to the current incident?"
"Miss Graham, you showed up at Karter's home this early in the morning. Were you discussing
countermeasures?"
"Do you have any intentions of apologising to Joyce?"
"Could you respond please?"
The paps threw question after question at Eloise as if they were tossing explosives in her face.
Used to this sort of drama, Eloise was exceptionally calm. She walked at a sedate pace with a hint of a
smile on her face. "Excuse me, could you let me through?"
"Miss Graham, do you not intend to apologise?"
"Are you just so unapologetic about what Karter has done?" NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
"Do you think that you're not at fault? You don't feel guilty for what you've done to the victim?"
The questions from the paps were getting harsher.
Hearing these words, Eloise merely let out a faint smile before saying, "This matter has already been
clarified on our official Twitter. I will not say more here. Thank you all. Please let me through."
With that, she pushed through the reporters and went to the parking lot.
They continued to chase after her, only stopping after her car drove away.
Five minutes later, a video of Eloise saying those words began circulating on the Internet.
After watching it, the netizens along with Joyce's fans were further outraged as they believed that
Karter and his company had not recognised their mistake.
Things continued to fester.
On Joyce's part, she was quite happy to see the public opinion on the Internet.
She was an unrecognised artist, and her popularity could not be compared to Karter's at all.
But by going on a variety show with the help of a little scheming, she did not expect that she would
manage to sensationalise herself so well to get her current "fame".
She definitely did not anticipate this.
"Joyce, stop looking at your phone. I've received several endorsement requests and more variety show
invitations. Come over and take your pick."
Her agent, Yaritza, was reading the information with a beaming smile on her face.
Hearing that, Joyce put down her phone and smiled. "See? What did I tell you, Yaritza? I tried to get
you to help me earlier, but you refused. Now you've tasted the sweetness of success."
Laughing, Yaritza replied, "How would I know that it was going to be so successful? Otherwise, I would
have done it a long time ago. Still, you're the smart one."
"Of course!"
Joyce was pleased with herself. "My popularity has finally gotten a bump through Karter. As long as I
make good use of this time, my worth will certainly double up."
"I heard that Karter's manager is not someone easy to deal with. Should we do this with moderation?
What if we end up hurting ourselves if they get pissed off?"
Yaritza wondered worriedly.
Joyce rolled her eyes at her. "Honestly, Yaritza, someone as timid as you won't be able to do much in
the industry. If you really want to be on top, you should take the chance and go for it."
"But..."
"Oh, c'mon, it's fine. I know what I'm doing. You don't have to worry about it."
Joyce was carried away by her overwhelming fame and fortune, completely forgetting how to think
straight.
Seeing her like this, Yaritza had no idea how to advise her for the time being, so she simply decided to
stop talking about it.
Besides, the odds are in their favour, so there shouldn't be any problems...
Everyone was hurling abuse at Karter for the whole day.
Just when everyone thought it was a foregone conclusion,
a verified Twitter account suddenly posted a tweet. "Are you prepared to watch a good show at
midnight?"
