Chapter 191 Be Scolded, Not Hid
“Everyone wants to know whether the noble actress will smile, when her nature is revealed!”
“What a pity. You will never see me like that.” Anna admired the scenery outside the window and said coldly, “You think I can’t make it, because I have a shameful secret…”
“Don’t you? It’s already the greatest kindness for you, since we don’t let you take the consequences!” Chen didn’t want to surrender at the last moment.
Anna rubbed her temples and widened her smile, until her mouth started to tremble slightly. “Thank you then.”
“Let’s wait for the public announcement in the afternoon!”
Chen didn’t mind to kick her when she was down.
“As you wish,” Anna said indifferently but arrogantly. She would never surrender to Chen.
However, Chen thought Anna pretended to be cool. It was an end. Could Anna start again?
In Chen’s opinion, Anna just didn’t want to be a loser.
After hanging up the phone, Chen called Kevin and said angrily, “We terminated the contract with Anna officially. You take charge of the rest. Anyway, you don’t regard me as your CEO.”
“I just did what you didn’t have time to do for you,” Kevin retorted.
“Did you?” Chen glanced at him coldly and continued to handle the files.
Chen was enraged by his overstepping the mark again and again. He had crossed the line.
“Don’t you have any feelings? In order to let the Ole gain a firm foothold, I have made so much effort for so many years. I never mean to betray you. I… I don’t regard you as a simple friend.”
Chen sneered suddenly. “Before this issue ends, I won’t trust you.”
On the other hand, the anti-fans had been waiting for a long time at the airport, but they hadn’t seen Anna. Finally, they realized they failed.
Therefore, some people started to condemn Anna on the Internet, because Anna jerked them around. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Was Anna supposed to be scolded in public?
These people were too vicious, even not letting Anna hide.
They thought since Anna did something wrong and unforgivable, she couldn’t hide or defend. She could only accept their insult and hatred. If she hid, it meant she was guilty and shameless.
As for the truth, no one cared…
The anti-fans didn’t see Anna at the airport, thus going to the Ole Company. However, they were told that Anna was absent.
After that, it was announced that a press conference would be held. The Ole hoped the reporters and anti-fans would stop making trouble.
However, the anti-fans didn’t accept it at all, condemning the Ole was covering for Anna!
“You can do anything for money! You don’t have shame!”
“That’s the true nature of the showbiz!”
“If that bitch doesn’t get out of the showbiz, you won’t be in peace!”

In the meeting room of the Dahlia, Jack summoned several senior executives and told them the decision of signing Anna.
They were startled. No one dared to doubt Jack’s power and decision. But it was seemingly risky to sign an actress who was publicly boycotted by a huge number of fans… Besides, he signed Anna without hesitation, unlike his style.
“Mr. Jack, it’s a big event. If we sign Anna at this time, isn’t it…”
Jack put down the pen in his hand and glared at the man.
“How can you, a rumor believer, get this position?”
“Are the senior managers of the Dahlia so ignorant now? Do you trust whatever the keyboard men made up instead of your own judgment?”
“If you don’t want to offer your resignation, do your own job well. Anything else?”
The conference room was silent suddenly.
The managers had worked in the Dahlia for many years, knowing Jack’s manner very much. He wouldn’t recruit anyone who he didn’t trust. Since he signed Anna, they had no objection.
“No, Mr. Jack.”
Besides, many of them admired Anna’s capability before, believing she was eligible to join the Dahlia. However, there were many rumors about her. They were afraid that Jack would disdain her, thus not mentioning it.
Unexpectedly, Jack did propose to recruit Anna during the controversial period.
“Then call it a day.”
“Rick, you stay.”
They all left, except the artist director, Rick.
Bill handed Rick the contract, while the latter was responsible for the announcement.
Rick read the contract and looked at Jack in shock. “The agent…”
“It’s me.” Jack was as cool as a cucumber. “But I hope you’re the only one who knows it. Don’t tell Anna. I’ll tell you alone.”
Rick was taken aback. Why would Jack treat Anna specially?
From his expression, Jack read everything and smirked. “I think Anna’s worthy.”
“Okay, Mr. Jack, don’t worry. I’ll handle it well.”
After he left the conference room, Rick investigated Anna’s past. To his surprise, the Ole was so shameless. Its manner was heinous, especially how they dealt with this rumor.
Probably out of sympathy for Anna, Rick was looking forward to the Ole’s response. Only in that way could he stand up in a gloating way.

After Kevin was well-behaved, the Ole officially accepted interviews with the media at the gate of its headquarters.
Kevin showed up with several assistants. Facing the camera, he politely responded to what happened recently.
“On behalf of the Ole and Anna, I apologize to the public.”
“After a preliminary investigation, we can confirm that Anna did agree to donate to Mary, but what happened later has not been confirmed yet.”
“We intended to solve the matter for Anna. However, she proposed to terminate the contract in the morning and refused to cooperate with our arrangements. As a result, Anna is no longer an artist of the Ole from now on. As an entertainment company with integrity, we won’t accept this kind of actress.”
“After the incident, we’re asking you to take action against immoral and irrational artists. Anna is a vivid example. She’ll be the first artist the Ole officially forces out.”
“Thank you for your attendance.”
