Chapter 31 I Won’t Give in
When Lottie woke up, it was the next morning.
She had a lot of nightmares overnight. When she woke up, her pillow was moist with sweat.
She got up, recharged her cell phone, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
She could vaguely remember what had happened last night.
She was locked in an empty lounge on the set.
Her cell phone was power off and it was darkness around her.
When she was desperate, she saw Ralph…
After that, she lost consciousness.
Last night, Ralph appeared before her like a god.
Thinking of that, Lottie blushed and her heartbeat quickened.
Suddenly, the phone rang outside, which brought her back to the earth.
Lottie rushed out to answer the phone.
It was Connie.
“Lottie, what are you doing?”
“Something big has happened!”
Lottie wiped her face with a towel and frowned slightly. “What made you get up so early to call me?”
“Isobel posted the picture of you and Luke on the Internet!”
“The netizens all denounce you. They said you intended to seduce Luke!”
Lottie was stunned.
Connie said anxiously, “Isobel made your face vague and declared that she didn’t want to be so merciless. Due to it, the netizens are more curious about you.”
“Someone analyzed the costume you were wearing and pointed out that the woman on the picture is just Isobel’s stunt double. Now they are searching your identity.”
Connie’s words were like a heavy hammer that hit Lottie’s heart.
She bit her lips and scanned Isobel’s blogs.
What Connie said was true.
“My boyfriend is fine. I hope this kind of thing won’t happen again. (I make that actress’s face vague since I don’t want to be too merciless. If she dares to do that again, I wouldn’t let her off.)
A video was attached, in which Luke tore the wounds on her shoulder and she fell.
The ending of the video was her wronged and angry face after Isobel slapped her.
The netizens commented on this post and scolded Lottie for she was so shameless and even seduced Luke.
Someone even asked Natalia to make this shameless actress’s name public.
When she was reading these comments, a cold shiver ran down her spine.
She thought Isobel and Luke just wanted to lock her up to give her a lesson.
It turned out that it was just a tiny part of their plan.
They not only wanted to break her down but also wanted to kick her out of the entertainment circle. Moreover, the relationship between them would become a hot topic again with this matter, which would make them more famous.
They only took her as a stepping stone!
Lottie gritted her teeth. She had underestimated Isobel and Luke.
Isobel went to the dressing room yesterday to confirm where Lottie’s wounds, instead of threatening her.
When she acted with Luke, Luke should have stretched out his left hand, but he stretched out his right hand and pressed her wounds precisely.
He used so much force that her wounds were torn again.
When Lottie was too painful to stand up, Luke took the opportunity to hold her in his arms. Isobel came over to slap her.
Lottie only felt the turmoil in her mind.
Their plan was very thorough.
“What should we do?”
Connie’s voice sounded anxious on the phone, “Lottie, should we fight back or negotiate with them?”
“They have made a name. I am just a stunt double. I am no match for them.”
Lottie closed her eyes. “And I don’t want to negotiate with them.”
They just want her to beg them, right?
Yesterday afternoon, she refused Luke’s request for giving some guidance to Isobel. In the evening, they set her up like this.
“But…”
Connie pursed her lips, “Lottie, if we don’t deal with this trouble, perhaps you can’t even be a stunt double…”
“You are the most excellent performer in our class. We thought you would be the best actress…”
“But Luke made you…”
Connie choked and failed to continue.
“I won’t give in.”
Lottie took a deep breath and looked at herself in the mirror with a smile. “I won’t give in even if I lose the job.”
After hanging up, Lottie lay on the bed to read the news.
All the netizens abused Lottie for being too shameless and even seducing Luke.
Lottie was not very sad when reading these comments.
Lottie knew that it was Isobel who was shameless.
Then, her phone rang. It was the head of the studio.
“Lottie, you are so fearless and even offend our boss!”
“Brodie also knows your name. He just called me and wants to meet you.”
“He may have decided to dismiss you. No one can help you this time. Prepare to pack up your luggage and go home!”
With that said, the head hung up the phone.
She had expected it.
Lottie sighed, changed her clothes, and went downstairs.
In the living room downstairs, Elijah was holding the laptop and tapping.
When she came downstairs, Elijah looked up at her. “Does your shoulder still hurt?”
Lottie was stunned and a bit confused.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Elijah sighed and turned his laptop to show her the video.
On the screen was the video posted by Isobel.
“That man did it on purpose.”
He turned his head with concern in his eyes. “It hurts a lot?”
Lottie was a bit moved.
She smiled and rubbed his head with her hand. “No.”
“Your mommy is strong.”
Elijah pouted, “If so, why are you afraid of the darkness?”
Lottie was lost for words.
She coughed and looked around. “Where is Fabian?”
“He?”
Elijah shrugged his shoulders, “Dad punished him to play chess with my grandpa.”
“Why did your dad punish him?”
Elijah looked at Lottie with his big dark eyes. “Fabian laughed at my dad for he could not make you have a baby girl.
Lottie was speechless.
She blushed, turned her gaze, and ran away with her handbag.
The head said that Brodie was waiting for her in the administration building.
Lottie got off the car and found that the administration building was in a festive mood.
The administration building was decorated with two red lanterns.
When Brodie saw Lottie, he hurriedly came over, “Lottie, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time!”
Lottie was at a loss.
She glanced at the administration building in a festive mood and at the boss who was smiling.
“Firing me just makes you so happy like this?”
