Chapter 181
Nanston Airport was surrounded by reporters and fans.
A passerby who saw this was dumbfounded. “Which big star is that, to have such an ostentatious reception Don’t tell me dacy’re shooting a movie at the airport? I don’t see any film crew around”
After asking around, he found out that these fans were here to intercept the CEO of Woolery Starry Media because she had changed Peter Smith’s role and bullied their idolf
The passerby shook his head speechlessly and said calmly. “They’ve got too much time on their hands.”
The mighty fans had found out about Pearl Woolery’s schedule and learned that her private plane would land at Nanston Airport this afternoon. They had rushed over early to wait, with unwavering determination to see her in person, and put on a rough stance.
They held banners in their hands and kept looking at the time. They were very anxious. “Based on the time, the should have come out by now Why hasn’t she appeared yet? Could she have run away?”
“Impossible! Every exit is blocked by our people. She can’t escape even if she has wings. As long as her team comes out, they’ll be immediately visible to us!”
Suddenly, someone asked, “What if they split up and left? Do any of you know Miss Woolery?”
The crowd was silent.
They suddenly realized that none of them had seen Miss Woolery before. They did not even have a photo of her. How would they recognize her?
“I heard that she’s very ostentatious. She would have several assistants and bodyguards behind her. Moreover, she’s young and beautiful. Surely we can spot her! Either way, I’d rather catch every potential suspect, than let her off!”
The fans‘ morale was roused up again.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, “Oh my god, isn’t that Henry Shaw and Donna Palmer? The Best Actor and Best Actress appearing at the same time? Oh, this is a once–in–a–lifetime opportunity! Help me hold this. I want to go over and take a photo!”
A girl who was previously holding a banner suddenly ran far away. With her shout, many people became aware of Henry and Donna’s presence and ran over. Most of the reporters also ran with them when they heard the news.
It couldn’t be helped. Although Peter was very popular now, no matter how much attention he garnered, he couldn’t compete with Henry and Donna’s combined popularity now. If one were able to take a photo of them, it would definitely make for the number one trending topic. It would be much better than waiting for some sponsor.
Half of the originally very strong fan gathering was immediately split up because of Henry and Donna’s sudden appearance. The remaining fans and reporters watched from afar. They were still wavering and hesitating about whether they should go
over 100.
No one noticed as a tall and thin man, wearing a mask, walked out together with a woman, who was wearing a baseball cap and also a mask, side by side looking like a couple.
However, the two of them had blank expressions on their faces and did not communicate much. It was as if they had quarreled
There were too many couples at the airport. The fans and reporters only glanced at those two indifferently and felt that they looked quite compatible with each other. Then they retracted their gazes and saw a group of people walking over majestically from not far away.
“They’re out! Is that Miss Woolery?
The fans and reporters swarmed over and immediately surrounded her.
However, when they took a closer look, they saw that the leader was a handsome lad. He was tall and there were indeed some assistants and bodyguards following behind him. However, there was no woman in the entourage. After taking a careful look. they still saw no woman
at was going on?
would the that the news they had received was fake?
Mace and Pearl boldly walked out in the open. As soon as they left the airport, they got into a silver–gray car.
The car quickly drove into the traffic.
Only then did Pearl take off her mask and baseball cap. The Nanston climate was stuffy and hot, making it difficult for her to breathe. Her flawlessly complexioned face was slightly red.
Str. can you turn up the air conditioner, please.”
The driver, who was driving steadily, replied lazily, “Beg me.”
Pearl looked up in surprise and her gaze met with the peach blossom eyes in the rearview mirror. She frowned. “Why are you Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
here?”
“Come to save the damsel in distress.
Lucas Parker’s tone was filled with schadenfreude. I heard that you were thrown tomatoes and rotten eggs by fans in Wenstin? What heinous thing have you done to be treated like the Big Bad Witch!”
After saying that, he even laughed like a crow, extremely brazen and looking like he was asking for a beating.
Pearl was in a bad mood. When she heard Lucas’s words, she got even angrier, and said coldly. “If you don’t want to die, shut your mouth!”
Seeing that she was really angry, Lucas quickly revealed a fawning smile. I was just joking. Don’t be angry.”
Pearl could not be bothered with him. She looked coldly at the man beside her. “Why did you call him over?”
I didn’t call him.”
Marc Males said calmly, “He insisted on coming
Pearl was silent.
Lucas nodded without a trace of shame. “That’s right. It’s rare for you to be in such a sorry state and vulnerable. It’s such a great opportunity that I must take it for myself. That’s why I’m here. Are you touched?”
Pearl gritted her teeth. Tm touched. But this doesn’t affect my desire to beat you up.”
While they were waiting at the red light, Pearl strangled Lucas’s neck from behind, making him unable to breathe for a moment. He asked for help, “Marc, are you just going to watch? Do something about her!”
Marc said, “I dare not interfere.”
Lucas was dumbfounded.
He glared at Marc from the corner of his eyes, as if saying, “How, can, you, be, such, a, coward!!!
Where had all the manliness in Marc gone?
Really not wanting to die young. Lucas begged for mercy in time. “Okay, it’s my bad. Lord Miss Woolery, you are magnanimous. Please spare me!”
Seeing the red light turn green, Pearl let go of Lucas at the appropriate time.
Lucas was finally freed. He held the steering wheel with one hand and gave Marc the middle finger with the other as if saying, “You disloyal fellow.”
Marc could not be bothered with him. He turned around and saw Pearl turn on her phone. He glanced at it from the corner of his eye and pursed his lips. “I got someone to remove the trending searches. Even if you want to promote Peter Smith, you don’t have to push yourself into the storm. Celebrity fans nowadays are not very rational.”
Pearl had also just seen that the trending topic was removed. Instead, Henry and Donna appearing together at the airport had

restimated the power of those obsessive fans. So be it, let the trending topic be removed. By now, there should be some con un the film crew’s part as well.
Not only had Pearl gotten scolded on the trending searches, but Gene Giles and the movie producer were also scolded on the trending searches. The fans could not accept how such a small–time C–list artiste, who had left no trace previously, could squeeze Peter Smith out and take on his role.
This was definitely the result of a behind–the–scenes manipulation! The power of capital! This was too much!
Especially when the media released the secretly recorded video online, showing how Gene was far inferior to Peter in terms of appearance, delivery of lines, and acting skills. He was completely no match for Peter.
“See how contemptible he looks. With his appearance, how can he take on the second male lead role? Even if he were put among the extras, he might not be recognizable!”
“It’s obvious that he’s a well–connected person. I heard that the producer stuffed him in, not the sponsor. The fans are
mistaken.
“That’s right. I’ve always found it strange too. Peter is the artiste of Woolery Starry Media. Which boss would not side with her own artiste and instead support someone else? There must be something wrong. It’s not that simple.
“Everyone, be rational and don’t be confused by the public opinion….
The internet was bustling, but the car was very quiet. Only Lucas was talking to himself as he drove.
Marc’s head already hurt a little, but Lucas’s noise made it hurt even more. “Say, can you stop and shut up?”
Lucas glanced at him. “No.”
Pearl chimed in. “Shut up.”
Lucas relented. “Oh.”
Marc did not know what to say.
