Chapter 210 Do My Best to Cooperate Leanna came out of the bathroom and sat down on the couch.

She took a sip of water and began to scroll through her phone. Right at that moment, a news update

popped up on her screen. ‘Daphne Shirley Suspected to Be in a Relationship’ What was going on?

Leanna clicked on the notification to read more about it, but she nearly spat her water out when she

saw the photos that had been published by the media. After double-checking and confirming her

suspicions, she quickly gave Louis a call. “Louis, where are you right now?” Leanna asked tentatively.

“At my dorm. Why?” “Well… Did you see the news?” “What news?” Leanna decided to switch tactics.

“What’s going on between you and Daphne?” Louis was quiet for several seconds. “Nothing. I ran into

some trouble today and she helped me.” Half an hour ago. After seeing that the girl was still sticking to

her story, Daphne announced that there was a film crew and they had recorded the entire event that

occurred earlier. Now that there were both witnesses and evidence, it was up to the police to handle

the matter. She took her phone out to make a police report. The girl was scared witless. She instantly

cried out, “N -No… Don’t call the police…” The kind-hearted elderly man said, “Don’t be scared, miss.

The police will help you seek justice…” But before he could finish his sentence, the girl weaved her way

through the crowd and ran off. Daphne put her phone away and looked out at the stunned crowd. Her

tone was cool as she said, “It’s clear who’s lying now, isn’t it? This is a handsome young man with

decent grades and a fine character. He’s not the kind of person that you claim he is.

Those of you who scorned him earlier should be apologizing now, don’t you think?” The spectating

crowd exchanged looks. None of them would have predicted this twist. Those among them who were

the rowdiest and hurled the most abuse had fled by now. Just then, someone called out tentatively, “Is

that Daphne?” “The lights are too dim so I can’t see clearly, but it sounds like her.” “Oh my gosh! I saw

her face! It’s Daphne!” The crowd became increasingly excited, and Louis, who had been quiet all long,

quickly pulled Daphne away from there. Someone must have taken a photo of this and sent it to the

media. That was why the news was trending. Louis didn’t tell Leanna the whole story. After a pause, he

asked, “Did someone take a photo of us?” “Yeah, but it’s not too bad. The photo was quite blurry.

There’s no clear shot of your face.” “How did you recognize me then?” “Need you ask? I’m your sister.

Shouldn’t I at least be able to pick you out?” Louis pressed his lips together. “Will this affect her badly?”

“I’m not sure about that. I’ll ask…”

Leanna came to an abrupt halt. “What’s the matter?” Louis asked. “It’s nothing. Leave this to me. You

can just focus on school.” Leanna had faltered when she recalled that Daphne was managed by

Pearson Group. Now that things had gone this far, Daphne’s management team would surely get

involved. This meant that Aidan would’ve heard about it as well. She didn’t know if he recognized

Louis. Leanna bit her lip and scratched her head before calling Daphne. No one picked up no matter

how long she waited. It was probably due to the gossip. Leanna hesitated for a long time, but in the

end, she gave Jonathan a call. He answered almost immediately. “Did you need something, Miss

McKinney?” Jonathan asked. Leanna straightened up a little. “I wanted to ask if Daphne’s issue is

serious.”

“Not… Yes, very,” Jonathan said gravely. “It will have a negative impact on her career. We’ve had to

halt discussions for several endorsement deals and filming projects.” Oh, really? Leanna couldn’t help

but doubt him. Jonathan continued, “President Pearson has called for a crisis meeting to handle this.”

“I -Is President Pearson handling this personally?” “Yes. President Pearson handles all of Daphne’s

work matters himself.” Jonathan promised that this wasn’t a lie. After all, President Pearson is in the

chat group that consists of Daphne’s management team, right? “I didn’t know President Pearson was

involved in so many different things,” Leanna chuckled dryly. “As the saying goes, those who can, do,

right?” “Well… If there’s anything I need to do, go ahead and let me know. I’ll do my best to cooperate.”

“Alright.” After ending the call, Leanna looked out the window and sighed. Why this, why now? She had

just drawn the line with Aidan several days ago, but now, she was back in the palm of his hand again.

Leanna started scrolling through her phone again. The news topic regarding Daphne’s possible

romance topped the trending list. Numerous factions consisting of her rivals and anti-fans leaped at the

chance to dig up the old rumors of her being a mistress and started to spread the gossip once more.

Unfortunately, this was just the way things were.

Regardless of all the evidence or statements that proved otherwise, people would still choose to

believe what they wanted to believe. Still, it looks like it is indeed affecting her. … In the meeting room,

Daphne sat there quietly and watched as Jonathan spun his tall tale. Once Jonathan put his phone

away, she said, “Mr. Stoll, have you ever considered quitting your job as an assistant and becoming an

actor instead?” Jonathan wiped his brow. “You jest. This is part and parcel of being a good assistant.”

Daphne had no reply for that. A moment later, Aidan’s voice rang out. “Was anyone else involved in

that incident, apart from the high schooler?” Daphne nodded. “I don’t think it’s an accident. I’m sure it

was premeditated.” Earlier, she was indeed filming a scene nearby. After spotting Louis across the

street, she decided to say hi to him. That was when she witnessed everything. As she was standing

some distance away, she noticed that there were a few men who had been hanging around nearby.

As soon as the crowd started gathering, they rushed into the crowd and began to stir them up. They

were the ones who hurled the most abuse at Louis. Aidan tapped his finger on the table

absentmindedly. It was unclear what he was thinking about. Both Leanna and Louis were being

targeted, and in both cases, the person’s schemes weren’t very sophisticated. It would be a stretch to

call it a calculated move. Jonathan piped up, “President Pearson, although they’ve resorted to rather

crude means, it wasn’t totally useless. If Daphne hadn’t been around today, they would have

succeeded. Even if evidence came up later on to prove otherwise, the damage would’ve been done.”

Gossip was the easiest weapon to wield—a scandal could easily ruin a person’s life. “Get the PR

department to issue a statement and let the rumors settle down.” “I’ll go right now.” Daphne stood up.

“President Pearson, if there’s nothing else, then I’ll get going as well.” “Hold on.” Aidan looked at her.

“You know what you should and shouldn’t mention, right?” “You think too poorly of me, President

Pearson. I’m an actress. We’re professionals too,” Daphne replied. Aidan waved her off. After

instructing the PR department, Jonathan came up to Aidan and asked, “President Pearson, as for Mrs.

Pearson…” “Tell her to come to my office tomorrow.”
