Chapter 760
Alexander put down his glass and looked at Elizabeth with a complex expression. He watched as she picked up her phone, ignoring him completely as if he were a stranger. He couldn’t suppress his feelings. He wanted to rush over and make her look at him, but he couldn't. He had promised Elizabeth he wouldn’t pester her anymore. He could only torment himself and endure.
He had learned about Elizabeth’s past hardships. When you truly loved someone, and that person constantly rejected you, you couldn’t move forward. How did Elizabeth manage to persist all these years? Alexander drained the drink in his cup in one gulp. His gaze grew more complex, like an abyss, making people fearful and unable to fathom.
Lila and Kieran returned together, seemingly having had an unpleasant conversation. “What happened?” Elizabeth asked Lila. Lila angrily slammed the table. “I thought big companies would be different, but it turns out they’re just full of useless people!” Elizabeth squinted. Who was Lila cursing? Was Lila cursing her entertainment company? Or was she cursing… Elizabeth’s gaze fell on Kieran, who also didn’t look too pleased. “Are you cursing Mr. Getty?” Elizabeth asked Lila.
Lita smiled, “Yes, I am cursing him! A boss who can’t manage his subordinates is incompetent!” Elizabeth quickly intervened, “Lila, don’t be so hot-tempered. Kieran’s still your…” “So what?” “You’re a celebrity.” Lila had cursed Kieran several times today. Although Kieran didn’t mind once or twice, three times was too much. He had his pride too. Although Kieran usually made headlines through scandals, it didn’t mean he wasn’t ruthless. Kieran could hang out with Alexander; he wasn’t simple.
Lila sighed, knowing she was a bit out of line, but she couldn’t help it. “His company’s people maliciously photoshopped and slandered me. Do you think I’m wronged? Shouldn’t I be angry with him?” Slamming the table was already a mild reaction.
Lila’s manager called her, asking where she was. They said numerous pages about her suddenly approved on Instagram, detailing her being arrogant and uncooperative during shoots, excessive photoshopping, etc. After investigating, they found out that the rumors were spread by staff from Kieran’s company. “It’s not that I mind his people slandering me; I’m just sorry…” They will definitely stand up to Kieran, blaming him for not protecting her reputation and her contract with him. She was extremely frustrated.
Elizabeth listened quietly, unable to offer any advice. The entertainment industry was too complicated. Fans were one aspect, the boss was another, and the company was yet another. Lila had to consider everyone except herself. Elizabeth felt sorry for Lila. But there was no choice; at this height, Lila had to endure these things. If she couldn’t endure it, she should go home. “Don’t be angry. It’s not a big problem. Don’t they know what you look like?” The company will solve it for you. Besides, you’re so popular, so many people have seen you,
Lila was indeed beautiful, with striking features and a good height. Lila usually had many different looks, but Elizabeth liked Lila’s curly hair the most. Lila looked at Elizabeth and sighed, “I’ll listen to you, I won’t be angry…” “So easy to appease?” Elizabeth was incredulous. Lila snorted, “Because it’s you comforting me!” Elizabeth smiled and didn’t forget to lower her head and open Instagram. Sure enough, the trending topic on Instagram was about Lila being arrogant and uncooperative.
