Chapter 539 - 539: How was Easton Daily bought again?
Aurelia Shaw couldn't help but chuckle.No matter how unreliable Amanda Fuller might usually seem, she truly had the ability to handle matters when it really counted. Her years of work experience hadn't been in vain; her ease was reserved for those she knew well, while to outsiders, she remained the efficient businesswoman agent.
This was precisely why she valued her.
Opening the car door, Aurelia Shaw stepped out of the van.
Flashes went off instantly, causing Aurelia to squint. An unintentional air of cold glamour emanated from her, leaving the journalist eager to question her momentarily speechless, hesitant to approach.
"As the lead in Stardust, what do you think about Eliza Fletcher staying with the crew, affecting the film's entire box office?" Amidst the silence, a voice suddenly rang out.
Aurelia looked towards the speaker, eyes narrowing slightly as her gaze swept over the badge on his chest.
The Easton Daily again. Easton Daily really liked these paid stunts.
Aurelia ignored his question and walked straight ahead.
This was a trap.
If she refuted that reporter on the spot, by the next day, it would be twisted into her being angry and rude to the press.
If she claimed that, as merely a lead actress, she wasn't responsible for this incident, she was sure the next day news about her new company acquiring Stardust would be splashed everywhere, heavily publicized.
She would then be branded as two-faced and attacked by numerous netizens.
The best choice was to ignore him entirely.
"Why won't you answer my question? Are you feeling guilty?" The reporter's sharp questioning continued.
Upon hearing this, Aurelia suddenly stopped. No one noticed the fleeting cunning and gleam in her eyes.
"Why should I feel guilty?" She turned back to counter-question the reporter, her deep, mesmerizing eyes leaving him at a loss for words.
Wesley Lloyd's neck stiffened. Quick to respond, he let out a mocking laugh, "Who knows why you might feel..." midway through his sentence, he abruptly stopped. His face changed, a flicker of panic and guilt flashed across as he discreetly gauged the reactions of those around him.
Some were skeptical, some scrutinizing.
The question was quite astute—why should Aurelia feel guilty? She was just a lead in the drama and couldn't decide on casting. As far as they knew, Aurelia's performance had been commendable, with the director frequently praising her; there was nothing to fault.
If anyone should feel guilty...
Could it be he had some inside scoop?
The reporters present were all savvy veterans who quickly realized the underlying truth.
Tsk tsk, why do Easton Daily reporters often seem to be paid off? Wasn't it Easton Daily that tried to frame Aurelia last time? Which mogul held a grudge against her?
Sigh, and not even us low-tier people get approached for such things.
Getting paid but botching the job, even exposing their boss, Easton Daily's in for some trouble.
Reporter Wesley Lloyd was drenched in cold sweat, pondering whether to reveal Aurelia's company news.
It was exclusive news, but announcing it publicly would make him just a minor part of the story with no real benefit to him.
The thought itself was painful.
Weighing his interests, Wesley decided to swallow his pride and keep silent about the scoop.
Most importantly, if he leaked it, that person would surely refuse to collaborate with him again, denying him any future stories.
