Chapter 356: Did He Get Water on the Brain?
Online, the negative publicity for Legacy of the Dynasty continued to swirl. Olivia, however, chose to ignore it. Notoriety is still fame, after all.
But the next day, when Lucas showed up on set with a laggard face and a dark bruise on his cheek, Olivia couldnโt help but raise an eyebrow. Louis, who had been harassed by Lucas for days, couldnโt help but laugh.
โDid you get mugged or something?โ Olivia asked, looking at Lucasโs bruise.
Lucas looked at Olivia with a face close to tears.
โOlivia, to support you, Iโve really gone all out.โ
Olivia was confused.
โSome bastard sent my dad an email filled with all the dirt on me from the set, along with a bunch of nasty comments from the internetโฆโ Lucas looked miserable.
Louis laughed unkindly.
โServes you right.โ
โSo, your dad wants you to quit, thatโs why he hit you?โ Olivia guessed.
Lucas blinked.
โNot exactly.โ
He glanced at Louis, who was enjoying the situation a little too much.
โThe email included a video of that reporter interviewing Louis yesterday. Remember how I grabbed him to help me practice acting? But whoever sent that email must be dumb; they took the conversation out of contextโฆ it sounded a bit indecentโฆ My dad thought I was into thatโฆ he couldnโt handle it, so he hit me,โ Lucas shrugged.
He was used to causing trouble, and his father was usually indifferent unless things got too scandalous. It was just a hug, after all. Those reporters have dirty minds! Louis, now unable to laugh, grimaced.
โLouis, you owe me for my reputation,โ Lucas winked at him.
โGet away from me, you freak!โ
โLouis!โ
โDamn it, stay away from me!โ
Olivia rubbed her forehead, knowing full well who sent the email. It was unbelievable that such a large company would go to such lengths against a small-time actress like her.

Chapter 356: Did He Get Water on the Brain?
Was it just because she had turned down an offer from Starlit Entertainment?
The more Olivia thought about it, the less sense it made. The hostility from Starlit Entertainment seemed utterly unreasonable. However, she was not one to passively take a beating.
While others were busy shooting, Olivia sat down under a large tree by the lakeside, opening her laptop to prepare her counterattack. But just as she opened her laptop, she heard a splash.
Looking around, she saw an empty lakeshore, a wheelchair askew on the grass, and an elderly man struggling desperately in the water. The family doctor, hidden nearby with binoculars, was panicked.
Is Darton crazy? Even if he wanted to meet Olivia, jumping into a lake was extreme!
As the doctor watched anxiously, Olivia dove into the water, quickly reaching the struggling man to pull him to safety. Olivia hadnโt expected to find an elderly man with mobility issues attempting to drown himself in such a remote place.
After rescuing him and ensuring he was only a bit waterlogged and otherwise unharmed, she was about to suggest he be more careful in his old age when she noticedโฆ Daxton was staring blankly at her face.
Did getting water in his brain scramble it?
