Chapter 416 - 223: Take Him Away (First Update)_2
"Makes sense!""But what about those screenshots? Arthur Johnson’s assistant, Little You, personally complained to someone..."
"In this day and age, screenshots might as well be ignored. Who can’t whip up a few dozen with Photoshop? Besides, even if they’re real, can Little You represent Arthur Johnson?"
"Agreed, unless I personally see Arthur Johnson’s Weibo attack Lucas Harlow, I won’t believe it."
Arthur Johnson’s fan club, "The Johnson Cavalry," was on the brink of disbandment, but suddenly, a big piece of gossip dropped from the sky, energizing them again.
At this point, Lawrence Winters used his PR department’s spokesperson’s official account to contact Arthur Johnson’s assistant, Little You, and said, "What’s your alias in the fan group?"
Little You was initially thinking of denying it, but Lawrence Winters impatiently said, "Given Arthur’s current situation, don’t tell me you don’t have an alias in his fan group!"
Frightened, Little You trembled and had to admit he had an alias and was even an administrator.
"Good, now log in with that alias into the group and tell them that anyone causing trouble will be kicked out immediately!"
Little You quickly agreed and went to manage Arthur Johnson’s fan group, guarding against any more internal troublemakers.
Together, Lawrence Winters and Edward Foster managed to calm the situation down.
Just then, the light in the operating room went off, and the doctor came out, nodded to her, and said, "The patient has been saved. After a period of recovery, he’ll be fine."
Lawrence Winters sighed in relief, joined her hands, and bowed in the direction of The Three Pure Ones’ ancestors.
After Arthur Johnson was transferred to a private room, Lawrence Winters stayed in his room waiting.
Kenneth Osborne was concerned for her and called her several times.
Lawrence Winters apologetically said, "Arthur Johnson still hasn’t woken up. I have to stay here. Right now, I can’t trust anyone else to do it; I have to handle it myself."
Kenneth Osborne frowned, "You’re just the PR spokesperson, not Arthur Johnson’s manager. Why do you have to deal with his affairs? Doesn’t he have a manager?"
Lawrence Winters thought to herself that Arthur Johnson’s manager had resigned, and he wanted to terminate his contract, so she had to step in.
She didn’t go into much detail with Kenneth Osborne; she just explained, "His situation is quite severe and he needs to face the media, so I feel more at ease being here."
Kenneth Osborne didn’t say more, just asked her to send the address.
Unable to refuse, Lawrence Winters shared her location.
Just as Kenneth Osborne finished his call, someone knocked on Arthur Johnson’s hospital room door.
Lawrence Winters got up to open the door and found Lucas Harlow standing there.
Lawrence Winters: "..."
She felt an inexplicable sense of guilt facing Lucas Harlow now.
Lucas Harlow, however, appeared calm and asked quietly, "...Is Arthur Johnson okay?"
"The doctor said he’s out of danger, but he’s still under anesthesia, hasn’t woken up yet." Lawrence Winters silently stepped aside to let Lucas Harlow in.
Lucas Harlow walked over to Arthur Johnson’s bed, looked at him, then came to Lawrence Winters and said softly, "...Sorry."
"Why are you apologizing?" Lawrence Winters asked in surprise, "This has nothing to do with you..."
Lucas Harlow pursed his lips, "I didn’t mean to hide my identity."
"Ah? That... it’s okay, it’s okay..." Lawrence Winters hurriedly waved her hand, smiling, "I understand, you’re not the type to seek attention."
Lucas Harlow curled his lips, "Well, I honestly just enjoy the fun of acting. Being a small role is quite interesting."
"It’s my fault for pushing you to become famous..." Lawrence Winters also lowered her voice, "It’s just that I felt it would be a waste for someone with talent like yours not to become famous..."
She never imagined trying to help Lucas Harlow would drag in Arthur Johnson.
Regarding Arthur Johnson’s troubles, Lawrence Winters didn’t consider herself entirely blameless.
It’s the saying: I didn’t kill Buren, but Buren died because of me.
As devotees of the Heavenly Master, the most taboo is leaving behind karmic ties.
So she was determined to stay here until Arthur Johnson was safe before leaving.
Lucas Harlow smiled and sat down with her on the sofa in the corner of the room, saying quietly, "Actually, Blue Heavy Industries is my mother’s family business."
Lawrence Winters: "..."
"Do you carry your mother’s surname? Or did your father marry into the family?" Lawrence Winters asked even more intrigued, "Is it your grandfather’s business? Doesn’t he have sons?"
Lucas Harlow shook his head, "My father didn’t marry into the family. My grandfather only had my mother, and my mother has only me."
He still didn’t answer the question about the surname.
Lawrence Winters pondered that if he didn’t marry into the family, it was likely a union of equals.
And a family that could marry the only daughter of the Blue Heavy Industries owner probably wasn’t ordinary.
Since Lucas Harlow didn’t explain, she didn’t pursue it further.
This was personal and unrelated to the entertainment industry, so Lawrence Winters professionally refrained from prying into private matters.
She smiled and said, "This time, your Blue Heavy Industries really helped a lot. Thank you. I promise you won’t lose money on this!"
Lucas Harlow smiled and said, "I heard you changed your mind and didn’t pick the post-apocalyptic script but chose the fantasy script?"
"Yes, I really like your look in fantasy. I think for your first drama, you should aim for a big hit."
"The probability of a fantasy hit is higher than that of a post-apocalyptic drama." Lawrence Winters explained to Lucas Harlow with a smile.
Lucas Harlow paused and said, "As long as it’s not for saving money, you don’t have to be frugal for my sake."
Lawrence Winters: "..."
That one sentence made the little money-grubber’s heart itch, even her hair tingled.
He really understands her...
Lawrence Winters thought with sentiment.
But she only indulged for a moment before saying, "No, it’s not about money. I genuinely want to see you become a huge star. You’re so good; more people should see you."
Lucas Harlow silently thought, well, if that’s what she wishes, then perhaps he could fulfill that wish before he quit the industry.
The two of them discussed the casting for the fantasy drama a bit more.
Soon after, Lawrence Winters heard another knock on the door.
Before she could get up, Lucas Harlow naturally stood up and went to open the door.
Standing at the door was Kenneth Osborne, holding a thermal lunch box.
