Chapter 20 It wasn’t worth hating him
In order to protect Alice, Black spent much money on buying off the influencers and anonymous instigators on the Internet to testify that those are just the synthetic pictures of Alice and him. And there were other people besides them when the pictures were taken. Thus they never dated in private. Nor did they cheat on Anna. Then the resident lawyer of Brilliant Entertainment Company also issued a statement officially which stated the rumour-mongers should be prosecuted for legal liability.
What was more, they also implied that Anna started the rumors to slander Alice out of jealousy.
And it worked. Suddenly, Anna was in the middle of the whirlpool as the scapegoat once again. While protecting Alice, he did not consider Anna's reputation at all.
When Lucy saw the news, she was furious. "How could he! He was such a bastard and coward! He has no heart at all."
Anna sighed, "Lucy, don't be angry."
"How can I stop being angry? You have done so much for Brilliant Entertainment Company. Considering how much you have earned for him, he should be grateful to you all his life. But he betrayed you for another woman and was so cruel to you. I couldn’t bear this."
While speaking, Lucy was get more and more angry. She decided to go to Black but was pulled back by Anna.
When she was about to explain to Lucy, Tony, Jack's assistant came over, "Mrs. Jack, Mr. Jack was waiting for you."
"Mrs.? You must have mistaken!" But next moment Lucy saw Anna nodding to him. She was so surprised, "Anna you... No wonder I found you are behaving weirdly when you enter or leave the company recently. Are you meeting some people without telling me?"
Lucy knew there must be some powerful people supporting Anna. But what did they want from Anna? Did she make a deal with her... Otherwise why would they choose to help her, the has-been best actress who had left the showbiz two years ago?
"Lucy, don't overthink. I will explain this to you on the way." Anna said and stood up to go outside.
Lucy was a little worried, trotting to catch up, "You have been excellent all the time and you shouldn’t get into sordid business even to bring Alice down. You are still so young, and you have a great future ahead of you!"
Anna's was amused by Lucy. She smiled and said, "Lucy, don’t worry. I will not sell myself. You'll find out who I am going to meet."
Lucy had worked for Anna for a long time because she believed her and her personality. Hearing her words, she felt confused and sentimental. When she saw the luxury car in front of the door to pick Anna up, She snorted loudly.
"So rich! Whoever you are going to see must be old." As Anna’s agent, she had attended a lot of grand events these years. But she knew few people could afford to drive this car in the city.
Luxurious but not flamboyant, he had a good taste.
Several candidates flashed through her mind but no one matched. She stopped Anna and asked, “Which step has your relationship reached? Why did he call you Mrs.?"
Anna smiled Again. Lucy didn’t notice that until now.
"Lucy, I didn’t tell you before. In fact, I got married." Thinking about her marriage and Jack’s gentleness, she felt so happy and couldn’t help grinning.
"... Anna, you must be kidding me."
Lucy was too surprised to speak and stared at Anna, frowning.
Anna did hurry to explain and waited for Lucy to digest this fact. She didn’t plan to hide her marriage from Lucy and had wanted to tell her long ago.
"No, no, Anna, listen to me. You can't ruin yourself because of Black and Alice. There must be other ways!" In Lucy’s view, Anna must have made a bad deal in order to get the power of some people.
The driver and Tony kept silent all the way. They didn’t expect their president had been assumed as a nasty old man.
When the car stopped at the gate of the most luxurious hotel in the city, Lucy was so curious, "Who is he on earth?"
Anna whispered in her ear, and gently said Jack.
"Stop joking. Jack or just the same name?" Lucy turned around and saw Anna going up the steps. There was a man stepping towards her. With sharp eyes, the prominent nose and carved features, he was so handsome and as brilliant as the god of light.
"Oh my god... The President of Dahua Entertainment Company? Mr.Jack?" She covered her mouth in surprise.
He elegantly raised his hand and held hers Wearing the designer suit, he stood on the step like a ruling king. His eyes were full of coldness and pride, but suddenly became so gentle when he was looking at Anna.
"Jack, this is Lucy, my agent. I have mentioned her to you." Anna leaned on Jack's side with a big smile.
Anna looked more beautiful because of happiness. The reason why Anna introduced Jack to Lucy was that she trusted Lucy and also wanted to share happiness with her.
"Ah! Yes, I'm Anna's agent..." Lucy was so surprised and happy for Anna that she introduced herself at once.
A man she mistook for a rich old man was the President of Dahua Entertainment Company.
He was young and talented. He also took resolute and prompt action in work. Many beautiful young ladies from rich family were dreaming of marrying him.
Lucy was grateful that marrying him was a blessing in disguise for Anna.
"The reservation was made and Tony will take you there. I have a meeting to attend. So I will see you at home in the evening.” Jack kissed on Anna's cheek in his gentle way. Then he stepped down and said to Lucy, "Nice to meet you. Sorry that I can’t join you. But I hope we can meet in the future. And thank you for helping and taking care of Anna.”
"You are being too polite!" Lucy ran to Anna with a smile. She was so excited and held Anna’s hand, "I’m so happy for you. Tell me this isn’t a dream!"
"Lucy..." Anna said gently, “Relax. This is real.”
"Wow! I never expected your husband should be Mr. Jack. God bless you. Now you not only escaped from Black, but also found such a handsome and rich man. Your marriage is fantastic!"
Lucy was Anna’s real friend and felt so relived that she had married a good man.
Then they followed Tony and came in. The place was specially arranged by Jack. And he always picked the best.
"That's it?” Lucy asked Anna to tell her everything about their marriage. So Anna did. After hearing this, Lucy blinked her eyes, "Unexpectedly, Mr. Jack was so low-key."
"That's what I want, too. I don't want to make our marriage public for the time being. I want to get back to the showbiz based on my strength. That’s the only way to prove myself,” Anna said firmly in confidence. "I don’t want to depend on Jack’s help to return to the peak of my career. I was the best actress three years ago and I will be again!" Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
"If you want to work in another company, I'll help you cancel the contract with Black and find a better place for you."
“I won’t leave you!” Lucy stopping eating and said sincerely. She had decided to work for Anna long time ago and wouldn’t leave her in her most difficult time.
"But Black chose to protect Alice against you. What shall we do next?"
Lucy was very familiar with the showbiz. As far as she knew, Alice would definitely persuaded Black into ruining Anna.
"To make them pay for what I have suffered over the years." Anna quietly drank her beverage.
