Chapter 657 Frivolous Past
Christina sent all the incriminating evidence about Emilia to Rayne, who was astonished after taking a brief scan of everything.
If these secrets were revealed, it would be catastrophic for Emilia’s career. Even if she were to secure a sponsor much more powerful than Nathaniel, no one would be able to salvage her crumbling reputation.
Not only did Christina intend to blacklist Emilia, but she also aimed to drive Emilia to sign her own death
warrant.
“Christina, are you absolutely certain about releasing all this evidence? Our conflict with Emilia is at its peak, so she can easily trace it back to us. Her sponsor is really protective of her.”
Now that they were actually going to do it, Rayne could not help but feel worried. After all, this was not a joke.
Emilia was a utilitarian who wouldn’t go down without dragging a few people down with her. Christina’s safety would be in jeopardy.
“Who’s Emilia’s sponsor?” Christina was curious about the sponsor’s identity. If Emilia has spent so much effort trying to secure him, he must be quite exceptional
“His name is David Labarge. His marriage life is not short of its drama,” Rayne shared. “I heard that there’s a hereditary mental illness in David’s family. Apparently, he beat his wife to death. Back then, David wasn’t wealthy, so they lived in a village that was not quite technologically advanced. The incident remains shrouded in mystery, and nobody knows the whole truth.”
David Labarge… Why does the name sound so familiar?
Christina furrowed her brow, searching her memory until a sudden realization struck her like lightning.
David is Winston’s cousin and business partner!
She had underestimated Emilia’s abilities. Slowly, she started to grasp Emilia’s true intentions of seducing David.
Is this a coincidence or did Emilia seduce David on purpose? I have to find out the answer to this
as soon as possible. If Emilia did it on purpose…
Christina narrowed her eyes, “Get someone to monitor Emilia and David closely and find out who they usually interact with.”
“Now that you mention it, I suddenly remember something.” Rayne said. “I once stumbled upon Emilia and Winston having a date at a restaurant. It was clear that there was something more going on between them. Does David not know that Emilia’s cheating on him?” Rayne seemed to have discovered something interesting. “Hahaha! If I were to inform David that Emilia’s two-timing him, wouldn’t things become incredibly exciting?”
As Christina was all the way in Hallsbay, she could not deal with the problems in Jadeborough. “Rayne, I’ll leave this to you. If you encounter any problems that you can’t solve, contact me right away and we’ll find a solution together.”
“Got it. I’ll reach out to the media now. Emilia has been acting all high and mighty in front of me for far too long. It’s time for her to face the consequences.”
Rayne ended the call excitedly. The thought of Emilia’s downfall reinvigorated her. She quickly contacted her friends from the media and exposed all of Emilia’s incriminating materials.
While the headlines in Jadeborough were dominated by her scandal, Emilia remained oblivious. In fact, she was fooling around with David at a private mansion.
Her manager relentlessly bombarded her phone with calls, but she paid no heed. It was only when David went to bathe that she strolled to the balcony to accept the call.
“Emilia, you lied to me!” As soon as the call connected, Melissa erupted in a fit of rage. “Do you realize your career is on the brink of ruin? How dare you disappear on me? Had I known that your private life was such as mess, I wouldn’t have chosen you,as my artist even if Anya threatened to kill me.”
During this period when Emilia was blacklisted by the company, Melissa had not been very kind to her. When she accompanied David to social events and encountered other celebrities from the company, she would face snide remarks.
Although Emilia lacked a powerful background, it did not mean that she could be bullied and manipulated so easily.
Furthermore, having gained the support of David and Winston, she became much more confident. “Melissa, I was busy with Mr. Labarge just now. You know his temperament. If I spoil his mood and make him unhappy, he’ll withhold resources from me. How would you be able to profit from me, then?”
“Resources?” Melissa sneered. “Even if I showered you with a bunch of opportunities right now, you wouldn’t stand a chance. Your scandals have flooded the internet. Everyone knows your frivolous past. Now that your scandals have severely impacted the company, brace yourself for legal repercussions. You’ll have to compensate the company for breaching your contract. Don’t a*sume that David will readily come to your aid.”
Overwhelmed by the mess Emilia had caused, Melissa vented her frustration before cutting off all ties with Emilia. “Emilia, I hope you’ve got nothing to do with the rumors circulating online about me. Otherwise, I won’t let you off. Our collaboration ends here. Find another manager. I can’t possibly turn you into a top celebrity now.”
After Melissa hung up, Emilia remained dazed for a moment. She hastily logged onto the internet, only to be bombarded by a deluge of negative news articles. Each one of them was able to completely ruin her life and career.
The most shocking news was how Emilia had managed to skip the company’s stringent selection process and sign a contract with them after Anya bribed Melissa. In fact, she even had access to top-tier opportunities. This angered the celebrities who had participated in the selection process. Their fans joined forces and flooded Emilia’s and the company’s official social media accounts with a barrage of criticism.
The entertainment company’s hastily published a statement, saying that they would investigate the matter. However, that failed to quell the fans’ fury. The Public Relations Department’s hotline received so many calls that they almost broke down. The media scrambled to cover and get the scoop.
“Who’s behind all this?”
Emilia glared at her phone, wishing she could capture those fans who had insulted her online and make them pay.
“Emilia!”
Suddenly, David’s furious roar sounded from behind. She was so startled that she nearly flung her phone
away.
Emilia swiftly regained her composure, trying to present her most tender and caring side to the man.
When she turned around, she was caught off guard by a sharp slap on her cheek. Then, she felt a sharp pang in her scalp. David was grabbing her hair and beating her up on the floor.
Emilia stood there, utterly bewildered. She cried out, “David, what did I do? Why are you hitting me?”
Gripping her hair, David forced her to look up. He looked as vicious as an untamed beast.
“You b*tch! Haven’t I been nice to you? How dare you fool around with men after being together with me?”
