Chapter 560 - Each Movements

"Handle?" Ricky frowned with displeasure. "Do you think my people are that incompetent?"

Milia's expression became stiff, she shook her head quickly. "I didn't mean that ..."

Ricky sneered, raising his hand to squeeze her jaw tight. "As long as you keep your mouth shut, nobody will discover the truth."

"I, I know, sir, please let go..."

Ricky let go of Milia's chin in disgust. If it weren't because this girl was still useful, he definitely wouldn't have had too much contact with someone like her.

Since Alfred had personally sent him to the Aphrodite Agency, he wanted to see what his brother would do!

...

On the Internet, news about William's paralyzed body continued to spread.

At the same time, Lilia's reputation had completely fallen.

There were countless netizens who petitioned her and spontaneously asked her to meet William. Moreover, they initiated the topic of holding Lilia responsible for William.

This caused a lot of commotion. After the popular search was removed, netizens continued to recreate the topic.

The war continued between fanbases, and after two hours, people started to get angry.

Lilia was a snake!

But as many times as they tried to bring up such a humiliating topic about her, the posts would be erased and their pages blocked in less than five minutes.

They couldn't even find the page.

Didn't Lilia already say that she would leave the industry for the meantime to treat her wound? Why was she still taking online criticism so serious then?!

Until that evening, everyone accidentally discovered that all the pages related to Lilia had been lost.

Even when searching for the name, the search results box remained empty.

Very strange indeed!

...

At home, Mellisa looked at Leonard with a sullen face then shifted her gaze to look at the contents on her phone. "The speed of your investigations is too slow."

Leonard rubbed his brows. "I can not mobilize my family's strength freely here. There are many people I can't offend, it is not easy to check their internal staff turnover."

What they discussed was that Lilia asked Leonard to help investigate information from a new employee of the Galaxy Real Estate Jakarta branch within one month.

It took nearly a week before the information finally got into his hands.

Mellisa could not be blamed for her sarcasm, even Leonard felt that he was taking a bit long.

Mellisa shifted the document onto the screen and forwarded it to Lilia. Then she threw the phone aside and muttered, "I don't know what happened to Lilia. She hasn't even responded to my messages recently."

She only cared about Lilia, Galaxy Real Estate could just screw themselves.

"If you're worried, should I call Jean?"

Leonard sat beside her quietly, he raised his hand and was about to wrap Mellisa's shoulders. But after resting his arm behind the woman for a long time, he resisted the urge and placed it on the back of the sofa.

Mellisa sighed heavily. "No, maybe they're busy."

Apart from trying to calm herself and get rid of her worries, she didn't know what else she could do.

...

Days passed in the blink of an eye.

It's Christmas and the whole town was full of festive celebrations.

Christmas trees decorated with colorful lights were seen everywhere, shopping malls were also filled with Christmas carols.

The night sky got darker as Harold was driving the car alone and arrived at Moonlight Studio without realizing it.

He parked the car in the street and saw the Christmas tree towering in front of the theater. For him, this was quite ironic.

If it weren't for the accident here, Lilia should have participated in a tour across the country.

Shirley had returned, and upon her arrival, it was as if the accident had never happened.

On the day Shirley returned, Harold vaguely asked his agent, Melly.

Since the tour started from the beginning, Shirley had no plans to participate. So why was she coming back now to put out the flames after the accident?

And what did Melly say at that time?

"Harold, I'll tell you, we didn't plan to return to the country to dip into the muddy waters in the first place. You also know that Shirley's reputation is too bad, so not only does she want to study abroad, she also wants to settle down."

"But Young master Jean from the Widjaya family personally sent someone to meet with Shirley at school. Although I don't know the specific details, Shirley agreed to take time off and return to Indonesia."

Harold was surprised by Melly's answer.

He didn't expect that there would be such a story.

Then, before hanging up on the phone, Melly revealed the other details to him. "Harold, Shirley is back to participate in the tour not to compete for anything. You can be sure of this."

"Let me tell you the truth. I heard that young master Jean has awarded Shirley three endorsement contracts with a total value of over 500 thousand dollars. You should also know that she is an international actress, so her reputation makes her services more expensive," she added.

Then she continued, "I also heard what Shirley said, it seems that if she doesn't come back to Indonesia to participate in the event, the show might be postponed. Or worse, the film might be totally unable to air. After Shirley participates in all the tours, she will return to school to resume her studies. That's all I can say." 

At that instant, Harold looked at the people walking in pairs and groups through the car's window.

On the giant screen of the building above, the "Chosen Kingdom" preview happened to be playing.

Harold laughed derisively, but his heart was bitter.

He vaguely understood Jean's purpose in doing this.

Since "The Chosen Kingdom" was Lilia's first time acting and she had put in such an extraordinary effort there, Jean did not hesitate to support by spending some money so that Shirley would participate in the event again.

He only had one goal— he wanted this film to be promoted and released on schedule.

He wanted everyone to see his wife's extraordinary acting skill.

Harold cupped his face with both hands and rubbed it hard. The distance between him and Jean was never the same.

The man's affection and love towards Lilia was so deep that he felt ashamed.

"DRTT--"

The ringtone interrupted Harold's thoughts. He took his cellphone from the windshield and looked at the caller ID, his handsome face instantly turned cold.

"What's wrong?"

He picked up the call and his business persona was immediately taking over.

The call was from Milia.

Indeed, this past week must be the happiest moment of his life.

He followed Lilia's advice to support Milia, therefore Harold gave her the opportunity to promote an internet influencer's lipsticks.

Her video was the most popular at this time, he also arranged the Aphrodite Agency team to make Milia a beautiful pure girl.

Currently, her photos were collected by many galleries. He asked the data analysis department and they said her image downloads were increasing every day.

Perhaps since he no longer contradicted the company's vision and mission, his social media accounts have been handed back to him. Albert also never interfered in his daily work.

Listening to Milia's voice, Harold suddenly felt that Lilia seemed to pave a way for Milia.

On the phone, Milia said., "Harold, I have a talk show in the afternoon. I've never participated in an event like this.. I'm a little worried that I won't do well. Can you accompany me on the show later?"
