Chapter 277: Chapter 280: The Gray Family’s Counterattack
Translator: 549690339
On the television screen, Lily Gray, dressed in a contrasting knit dress, her long hair slightly curled, stands in the center of the stage.
Two people stand next to her; one is Eastonia’s current top film actress Ella Reed, and the other is a top television actress in the country.
This is a particularly special event, the launch ceremony of a TV series.
“The Tale of The Beloved Mistress — commencement ceremony” huge letters appear at the bottom of the television screen.
Staring at the spinning letters, Vivian Walters almost thought she was hallucinating.
“No, impossible… Lily Gray, how could she possibly…”
Her agent at that moment also saw the scene on the TV and was so shocked that his mouth fell open.
“Vivian, Ella… she’s Wellington Entertainment’s top actress, and those other actresses next to her, they are all under Wellington Entertainment’s contract. Given the current poor reputation of the Gray family, how could Wellington possibly agree to collaborate with them!?”
Upon hearing her agent’s words, Vivian Walters’s face fell instantly.
“Shut up, as if I can’t see that! Lily Gray…I really underestimated her. At a time like this, she could actually get Wellington involved. Hmph, I heard that Mr. Wellington and Mr. Lucas have a good relationship, do you think she slept with both of them to gain such advantages?”
Of course, her agent dared not contradict Vivian Walters and hastily agreed with her.
As Vivian Walters stared at the television screen, many thoughts began to form in her mind.
If she can’t rely on Austin Lucas, should she follow in Lily Gray’s footsteps and try to seduce Mr. Lucas or Mr. Wellington?
She could snatch Austin Lucas from Lily Gray. If she can do it once with one man, then perhaps she could do it a second, or even a third time with others.
But, the pressing matter at hand is not this.
If the Gray family has Wellington’s backing, she must start thinking about how to manipulate the media narrative next.
With this in mind, she said solemnly, “You, go spread the news, let the reporters we’ve paid delve into the dark pasts of these actresses. Even if it is Wellington, which actress doesn’t have a scandalous past while rising to fame. Does Lily Gray think that just because she has Wellington’s backing, I can’t finish her off?”
“Heh, this time is just right… I’ll tarnish Lily Gray and those other actresses blocking my path together, let’s see who dares to support the Gray family in the future!”
Normally, Vivian Walters wouldn’t be this audacious.
But now, the Gray family’s reputation of manipulating their artists has been exposed.
Wellington Entertainment manages a lot of great beauties.
Wellington stepping in to help the Gray family at this time could more or less cause a negative impression for their own actresses.
If no one manipulates public opinion and the audience finds the drama appealing once it’s released, the scandal might quiet down.
But now, Vivian Walters has people secretly stirring the pot, and the criticism of the Gray family online is at its peak.
As long as the Gray family continues to be criticized constantly, the heat online doesn’t decrease, Vivian Walters was absolutely sure, that even Wellington will not be able to withstand the pressure and will eventually terminate its collaboration with the Gray family.
She was smug about her arrangements when the television screen suddenly switched.
The camera zoomed in on the other side of the stage, where a host held a microphone, excitedly saying, “Alright, now is the most anticipated moment of this conference! I bet everyone, like me, can’t wait to find out who will play the king and have scenes with our Goddess Ella Reed in ‘The Tale of The Beloved Mistress’! Right?!”
Boos resounded from the audience beneath the stage..
