Possessed No More: The True Star Returns to Claim Her Throne Chapter 134: Variety Show Spot
"We’re getting married soon. The fans will have to find out sooner or later. What’s wrong with making an official announcent?"
"Why is it you? Where’s Vernon Jacobs? What? You’re getting married?!!!"
The manager gritted her teeth. ’What the hell is all this?’
It was bad enough her client’s relationship was exposed. But they hadn’t even officially announced they were dating, and now she was being told they were getting married. ’Are they determined to scare to death or sothing?’
Gigi Walsh said, "He’s in the shower. He proposed to today. Marriage is just a matter of ti."
There was a mont of silence from the other end. "So, you were the one who posted on Weibo? Vernon Jacobs had no idea?"
Gigi Walsh said matter-of-factly, "I was just stating a fact. Is there a problem?"
The manager didn’t say another word. She just hung up the phone.
’Vernon Jacobs was so lucky to have a girlfriend like Gigi Walsh.’
She had a feeling that this ti, Vernon Jacobs was going to be royally screwed over by his rich-girl girlfriend.
anwhile, Gigi Walsh’s own phone started ringing. As soon as she answered, Manager Chenning’s voice ca through. "Gigi, haven’t you been online? Your thing with Vernon Jacobs has been exposed."
Just then, Vernon Jacobs walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. Gigi Walsh imdiately sidled up to him with a coy smile. "Vernon, our relationship has been leaked online. Why don’t we just make it official?"
Vernon Jacobs’s heart sank. He quickly grabbed his phone to check online, only to be shocked by the Weibo post "he" had sent!
"You used my phone?"
Gigi Walsh was frightened by the look on his face, but she forced herself to argue back defiantly. "Aren’t you just asking about the Weibo post? Yes, I sent it. I just couldn’t stand seeing that bitch so smug!
Haven’t you been unhappy these past few days because she’s been stealing the spotlight?
Besides, soone else started this ss; it has nothing to do with us. I was just taking advantage of the situation. After this, she’ll definitely quit the entertainnt industry, and we won’t have to be disgusted by her anymore!"
Vernon Jacobs’s face was dark, his fists clenching and unclenching. ’I’ve never t such a stupid woman. If Riley Perry has evidence, we’ll both be finished!’
’And now Riley Perry is Cole Sinclair’s lover. Cole Sinclair’s attitude last ti was crystal clear—he’s very protective of her. Now that Gigi Walsh has gone on this online tirade, slinging so much mud at Riley, is that man just going to do nothing?’
The more he thought about it, the more he felt a sense of impending doom.
’I could just kill this woman!’
’Calm down, calm down. I can’t be rash. Acting rashly won’t solve anything.’
’This woman, Gigi Walsh, is still useful.’
He took out his phone and checked the ti the Weibo post was published. It had been over ten minutes. Deleting it now would be useless. Besides, deleting it would just show he had sothing to hide. All he could do now was pray... pray that Riley Perry hadn’t really recorded a video.
How could Gigi Walsh not sense her boyfriend’s displeasure? But she had been treated like a little princess for over twenty years and couldn’t stand anyone giving her dirty looks—not even the man she liked. "Vernon Jacobs, are you blaming ?"
Vernon Jacobs took a deep breath, suppressing his violent temper and patiently placating her. It took a long while to calm her down. Afterward, they went out for a Western-style lunch, but his heart was in his throat the entire ti. After the al, he called his manager and asked her to keep an eye on the online situation.
As the instigator, Holly Sumrs had been keeping a close eye on the online buzz. When she saw Vernon Jacobs’s Weibo post, she laughed triumphantly and dialed a very important phone number.
"Hello. You see, I’ve done exactly as you said. Riley Perry is even trending because of all the hate..."
"I saw. The spot on the variety show you wanted is yours. I don’t need to tell you what to do once you’re on, do I?"
Even though she knew the person on the other end couldn’t see, Holly Sumrs was practically bowing and scraping. "Yes, yes, of course. I know exactly what Riley Perry is capable of—or not. The show’s producers must have faked things. As long as I’m on the sa show as her, I’ll definitely expose her in no ti!"
’What a faker. In the past, Riley Perry couldn’t cook at all. When she didn’t have any gigs, she would almost always eat out or order takeout.’
’And that so-called Qinggong video? Qinggong isn’t real!’
’Miles Ford is a national-level martial artist, and can he fly?’
’As for all that interaction with netizens, it was definitely scripted beforehand!’
"I’ll definitely find evidence and expose her!"
The person on the other end grunted in acknowledgnt a couple of tis and then hung up.
Staring at the darkened screen, Holly Sumrs’s face was a mask of triumph. ’Riley Perry, you wouldn’t help , would you? Well, now I’m getting on Director Warren’s show too. Just you watch, I’ll expose your true colors!’
Just as she was thinking this, her manager called. "Ms. Halloway."
"Holly, you really pulled it off! You actually managed to snag a guest spot on *Go on an adventure together*. Get over to the company right now and sign the contract. You’d better start preparing today, too. It’ll be humiliating if you get eliminated in the first episode."
Holly Sumrs hadn’t expected them to move so quickly; the contract was ready to be signed just like that. After hanging up, she changed into a new outfit, put on so beautiful makeup, and rushed over to the company.
But in fact, Riley Perry was also talking to Joanna about Holly Sumrs. "Nana, I have concrete evidence that Holly Sumrs hired a water army to slander this ti. So, what’s the company’s stance on this? She’s not just harming my interests; more importantly, she’s damaging the company’s. It doesn’t matter if I offended her or not. Even if we had so minor conflict, it should be resolved internally, not blown up like this!"
Joanna said, "Okay, okay, I get it. I’ll report this to the higher-ups right away. Don’t worry. I’m hanging up now. I’ll call you back when I have a solution."
After hanging up, Joanna imdiately called Thomas Lynch. ’That girl... Now that she’s got so ambition, she’s even learned all the right buzzwords. ’Damaging the company’s interests’...’
The call connected. "You saw what’s trending, right?"
"Mhm. Your artist took a hit, so now you’re going to ask for so benefits for her."
"What do you an, *my* artist took a hit? Isn’t she your artist too?
Besides, Riley Perry is on the verge of a major breakthrough. The people behind this are damaging the company’s interests. As the president, you’re not just going to stand by and watch, are you?"
Thomas Lynch’s voice held a trace of indulgence. "I’ve already got people investigating who’s slandering Riley Perry. I won’t let it slide."
"Then you don’t have to investigate. I’m sending the evidence to your email. It was Holly Sumrs who slandered Riley Perry. You handle it!"
The call ended. Thomas Lynch opened his email. The na Holly Sumrs sounded a little unfamiliar, but after looking at the evidence in the email, his expression darkened. He imdiately called the Director of Talent. "How much ti is left on Holly Sumrs’s contract?"
The Director of Talent quickly checked and reported back, "She signed a five-year contract. There’s still a little over a year left."
"Put out the word: don’t give her any more jobs. If she wants to terminate her contract, she’ll pay the penalty fee down to the last cent."
