Intense menace flickered in the woman’s eyes.
"Even if this report is real, the fact that he committed murder is certainly true!"
Melody Thorne lifted her head, "It’s not true, he couldn’t have committed murder, nor does he have the motive to do so."
Nina King inserted a video into the large screen behind her, where the voice and everything inside could be seen clearly. Essentially, it showed someone bullying an artist under Melody Thorne, and Melody went in to rescue her artist, scolding the fat woman. At the end of the video, Jared Quinn also appeared, and the two left the room together.
There was no truth to the rumor of seducing young male stars. fгeewebnovёl.com
It was a real-life version of the boss protecting her own.
"Everyone should see things clearly now, since I took steps to resolve the issue, afterwards, I had Nina persuade him to prevent him from doing anything rash.
Howie has been in the entertainment industry for three years; he wouldn’t commit murder over such trivial matters. Major General Chu is still investigating this matter, so I hope everyone will stop speculating blindly."
A buzz of whispers rose below, many expressed disappointment over the lack of drama. They had attended the banquet expecting to see the popular actress being ousted from the entertainment industry, yet it turned into an exoneration session instead.
No one spoke further, but Melody Thorne wasn’t done with them!
"A message appeared on the large screen, sent by someone with the alias ’Monkey’.
"I am very curious about the intent behind sending this message to everyone in my company. Although some couldn’t resist the temptation to falsely accuse me of seducing young male stars for a hefty sum of five million, I am deeply saddened to know such people are in my company.
This has indeed reminded me that with the fierce competition among entertainment companies now, I have every reason to suspect others. Who would spend such a large amount to bribe people, to plot against me? Against my company?"
"Well, Ms. Thorne, you may not know, but your ranking was highest on the Golden Eagle Chart the day before yesterday, so some companies must have been upset and wanted to take action," Nina King added beside her, "You forgot that yesterday there was an uproar online created by an actress, urging the public to agree to leave the entertainment world. After checking, I found out she turned out to be an alias of a minor star from Dynasty Entertainment."
Nina King quickly shifted the topic onto Dynasty Entertainment.
"Hmph, causing trouble in Eastwell, baseless and unsubstantiated," Dynasty Entertainment’s president snorted, his face black as the bottom of a pot.
When Melody Thorne glanced over toward the first row where Dynasty Entertainment’s president was seated, her gaze swept past the woman beside him but didn’t linger, knowing he changes women very quickly, so she ignored it.
"Ms. Thorne, are you suspecting someone from Dynasty deliberately targeted you and your company, going as far as to frame your artists?"
Many reporters invited to the event naturally wouldn’t miss any piece of news.
"As the head of a company, I indeed have the right to suspect anyone, but with regard to Dynasty, I am not sure."
"What’s there to be unsure about, Ms. Thorne? Just look at the top three ranks on the Golden Eagle Chart; all are from Dynasty Entertainment. Might there be a hidden agenda here? Forget it, I think we should not participate in this show anymore; there’s no fairness in it anyway."
