Hold On Mr.! Your Sweetheart is a Real Queen

Chapter 561: Seek and ye shall find.

"No matter what happens this time, I won’t let you get hurt again." The man’s tone was calm, he said to her, "Since you’ve chosen me, I will definitely protect you thoroughly."

Daisy Ginger’s lips curved into a faint smile, she nodded and replied, "Mm. I trust you."

The man lifted his head, meeting her gaze directly, and the atmosphere lifted from its previous heaviness to a lighter mood.

Loving someone so much that even a shared glance feels sweet.

Daisy Ginger reached out her hand, gently pinched Edward Stephens’s cheek, then smiled and bowed her head to start eating.

She wasn’t sure if Edward Stephens could give her what he promised, but she was willing to believe he could.

Even if they might part in the end, the hearts together now must be genuine.

No hope for eternity, just seize the moment.

Initially, it was thought that the buzz from the photos of Emma Magus getting hit would die down after a few days, yet unexpectedly, the situation escalated.

A female actress who once acted in the same crew as her suddenly revealed that Emma Magus changed the script out of jealousy, letting her get slapped twenty times in the drama, resulting in her teeth bleeding and being unable to act for a week.

At the same time, she also uploaded photos of her injuries.

The revelation caused an uproar; Emma Magus was a top-tier star. Although her name wasn’t universally known, every young person on Weibo knew her.

At first, Emma Magus’s fans rushed over and almost tore the smaller actress apart.

——Where did this shameless woman come from, daring to leech off our Emma’s fame!

——Just because you say Emma hit you means she hit you?

——Clearly, it’s her own makeup! Everyone don’t believe it, tear this fame-leeching minor actress apart!

——Since it’s acting, there must be recordings, where’s the video! You say Emma hit you, but do you have evidence?

For two days this went on, with public opinion turning against the minor actress for trying to take advantage of Emma Magus when suddenly, the actress’s fans released a video.

A dedicated fan solemnly said on Weibo: "I’ve been holding onto this video for a year now as I didn’t want to cause trouble for my sister, but now that she is willing to speak out, I must help her clarify the truth—our sister did not lie! She was bullied by her seniors on set! Here is the video—"

The video was clearly secretly filmed by the fan, not by the director’s crew. The camera was far away, only capturing the tops of actors’ heads and profiles, likely shot from above—

The footage showed Emma Magus using the script as an excuse to slap the actress twenty-two times!

The actress was eventually slapped so hard she landed on the ground and couldn’t stand up, while no one from the crew helped her. Instead, everyone tended to Emma Magus.

The stark contrast in the video, with Emma Magus surrounded by people and the solitary actress sprawled on the ground, was shocking.

This was outright workplace bullying!

The internet exploded.

As soon as the video surfaced, public opinion did a complete reversal.

Watching the video at her computer, Daisy Ginger knew Emma Magus was finished—such damaging material could completely force her out of the entertainment industry and possibly implicate the former director and crew.

Compared to this matter, Edward Stephens’s previous blacklisting of her was child’s play.

Daisy Ginger logged off, rubbed her temples with her head down.

Even though the actress this time wasn’t Elena Raven, would Emma Magus think she was the one who exposed it?

After all, Emma Magus had once used the same tactics to bully Elena Raven.

Daisy Ginger exhaled slightly, just as urgent knocking sounded from the door outside.

"Come in."

"Daisy!"

Elena Raven rushed in anxiously with an iPad in hand.

"Have you seen it?"

Daisy Ginger nodded.

"Sister Kowalski she..." Elena Raven’s doe-like eyes widened in panic.

"This has nothing to do with us, don’t make a fuss. Her own sins will eventually be settled; we shouldn’t rely on our veteran status to bully newcomers in the future, who knows who might capture it?"

There are many actors in a crew, many fans of actors too, even for a minor actress, there’s a chance one or two fans could sneak into the set hoping to see their idol.

Emma Magus was simply too arrogant, thus daring to bully someone in full view.

This storm probably cannot be easily quelled.

Daisy Ginger thought.

Regardless of how many such videos exist, even if Emma Magus’s people want to suppress them, someone might not let it die down—

"Be careful going out in the next few days." Daisy Ginger advised Elena Raven, "Bring more assistants, and avoid crowded places."

Daisy Ginger was right; after the actress’s video leak, several other actors who had worked with Emma Magus began to emerge, admitting she modified their roles, added scenes, and even bullied newcomers and extra actors.

Some were jumping for attention, while others truly had been bullied, truth and lies intermingling, leading to a public frenzy.

Everyone loves gossip, especially when it’s about the hidden darkness within the glamorous entertainment industry, it’s perfectly gratifying. For nearly twenty-four hours a day, the name "Emma Magus" stuck at the top of hot topics, unable to be removed.

Daisy Ginger kept tabs on the situation’s developments, a bit taken aback—how many people had Emma Magus bullied over the years by relying on Edward Stephens’s connection and her family’s influence?

She’s basically become the public enemy of the entertainment industry.

Once the wall collapses, everyone pushes; within a week, the name "Emma Magus" was thoroughly tainted.

Even fan accounts dedicated to sharing her news voiced disappointment and declared "loved, regretted, no more updates."

Public opinion is sometimes a double-edged sword; it can elevate you to heaven or instantly fling you into hell. Once everyone regarded Emma Magus as a "model of virtue and skill," her fans flaunting her, now her name was akin to a drowned dog, stepped on by everyone.

Abuse of power, bullying juniors, workplace bullying—each word nailed her on the pillar of shame.

Products she endorsed faced boycotts, her photos at red carpet events were edited out, and even former fans recorded themselves crying and burning all her magazines.

And as for the film with Elena Raven, news came from Director Carter’s side to cut Emma Magus’s scenes and promote Elena Raven to lead actress.

Hearing this news, Daisy Ginger was stunned, unsure whether to be happy for Elena Raven or worried for herself—this time her blame might indeed be irreversible.

Emma Magus would become bitterly resentful towards her...
