Chapter 60 Rumors
Rebecca had learned from her past mistakes. She knew Eva had Luxstar as her strong backing, so she didn’t plan to confront them head-on. She bought off some trolls and made them spread the news. Paparazzi had a nose for those things. When they acted, it would be too late for Luxstar to intercept the news.
Bonnie’s call saved Eva from the boredom. Eva picked up the call in excitement, thinking that there might be some work arranged for her.
“Bonnie, have you arranged some work for me?”
Hearing that, Bonnie pretty much guessed that Eva hadn’t seen the news.
“Go online and check the news.” Bonnie cut to the chase.
Eva was also surprised to see her photos secretly taken at Rosenfeld Hill all over the Internet.
The first time Bonnie saw Eva, she knew that pretty face would make headlines. Her scandals just came one after another.
Bonnie suspected that there was definitely something going on between Eva and Mr. Livingstone.
Bonnie roughly evaluated the situation and hurried to take countermeasures to minimize the negative impact the news could have brought.
Eva was thinking about how to explain this to Bonnie when Bonnie went to handle this mess for her without asking anything.
Eva logged in to her social media account and posted six words, “Truth will come out soon enough”.
“Look at that luxurious villa. She’s kept as a toy girl alright.”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“She’s nothing but an eye-candy.”
“We got your back, Eva! We love you no matter what!”
“This is definitely fake news. The media just has a way of twisting the truth. She’s a celebrity. Isn’t it normal that she lives in a villa?”
“I believe she wouldn’t do such a thing. She’s so kind and generous!”
“Eva, we believe that this is not true!”
Seeing the comments supporting her, Eva felt somewhat comforted.
Although Luxstar was tackling this situation, they couldn’t turn it around because the paparazzi caught Eva’s face clearly in that photo.
Now, posting a clarification would only make things worse. Therefore, Eva planned just to wait till people’s interest in this matter died down. But Rebecca wouldn’t make it this easy for Eva.
Eva’s name had been on the trending page for days. Some people even dug out all of her old scandals. In one show, the clip of the homewrecker role Renee made Eva play was also reposted after editing. Seeing that, many onlookers just assumed that was Eva herself in real life, which induced another heated discussion.
Seeing that people would be judging and laughing at Eva, Sheila and Rebecca even opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate their successful revenge.
Bonnie suggested that Eva make a clarification to address the situation. However, Eva couldn’t think of any plan that didn’t involve revealing Caleb’s identity.
If Caleb’s identity was made public, people would naturally assume that Eva was a toy girl kept by him. After all, Caleb was the CEO of Lumenstone. He was made of money. Plus, Eva was now living with Caleb. People wouldn’t believe that there was nothing going on between them.
Eva paced around, not knowing what to do.
“I got it! Adam can help!” Eva went out and walked to the villa next door.
It was by a fortuitous chance that Eva knew Adam was also a member of the Livingstone family. In fact, Caleb was even Adam’s uncle. Old Mr. Livingstone made their family members live in the same neighborhood so that they could take care of each other.
When Adam saw the news about Eva, he didn’t take any action because he thought that Luxstar would take care of it for her. Therefore, Eva came knocking on his door was completely a shock to him.
“I think Caleb can easily handle this, can’t he?” Knowing Eva’s intention, Adam was even more surprised.
“I didn’t ask him.”
“You didn’t ask him, and you come here to find me?” Adam asked in confusion.
“Cut it off. Are you going to help me, or not?”
“I’ll help you.” Adam smiled her a positive answer.
“But if Caleb knew, would he kill me for doing this?” Adam was still a little intimidated by Caleb. Even he could sense that Caleb had feelings for her. He didn’t believe Eva didn’t feel it.
“Why would he do that? It’s none of his business. Just show up at the press briefing tomorrow.” Eva’s bad mood dissipated after Adam said that he would help her.
The next day.
Bonnie held an impromptu press briefing in Westin Hotel. When the swarm of journalists noticed Adam’s presence, they started taking photos of him like crazy.
Wasn’t this about Eva? Why was Adam here?
“Thank you all for attending this press conference. I’d like to make some explanation regarding the rumors going around on the Internet.”
The journalists all wanted to know what happened, so they quieted down.
“It’s a great honor for me to receive so much attention from you. However, I still want to clarify the situation so that you don’t misunderstand.”
“Miss Sommers, is that you in the picture?” A reporter asked just as Eva finished her words.
“Yes, it is me.”
Eva’s answer caused a stir among the crowd.
“Adam and I had a business dinner that day. Maybe it was the angle from which the picture was taken misled you all.”
“Mr. McCallum, are you planning on establishing further collaboration with Miss Sommers?” A voice sounded from the crowd, throwing a question towards Adam.
“Our last collaboration went very well. I look forward to working with a promising partner like Miss Sommers. So, that night I invited her to a business dinner at my place. Our agents were also present. I didn’t think that things would blow up like this. Here, I would like to make a formal apology to Miss Sommers,” Adam said politely.
Sheila watched the live broadcast of the press conference in her apartment. Eva’s dazzling smile on the screen hurt Sheila’s eyes. Especially when Adam said that he hoped to cooperate with Eva, she finally exploded. She grabbed the glass placed on the table and threw it on the TV screen in a fit.
Eva Sommers, how did she talk Adam into making clarifications for you? It’s impossible!
Adam had won numerous international awards. Ever since he returned from abroad last year, countless companies had shown their interest in hiring him and people would fight for a chance to cooperate with him.
His playing a supporting role in the show already shocked many people. Now, he even said personally that he intended to establish a long-term cooperation with Eva.
This had implied that Eva had gained Adam’s recognition!
