Chapter 691
Steven frowned and said, “I shouldn’t have signed her contract in the first place, I can’t stand these fans”
Clair turned pale, lowered her head, and quietly apologized, “Sorry, bro!*
Steven stared momentarily, then frowned again, I’m not blaming you Let’s wait for the police investigation”
He turned to Sarah, “Who gave Sydney that coffee?”
Sarah answered, ‘Naomi, an actress from an entertainment company But she didn’t buy the coffee, it was brought by a friend of the director who was visiting the set
Steven thought briefly, then said, “Let’s publicize the reason for Sydney’s hospitalization and let her fans cause trouble for someone else
Sarah thought this was a pretty savage move that instantly shifted the focus of the conflict.
So, Naomi was woken up in the middle of the night by her manager’s call, asking her, “Did you give Sydney that coffee?
Naomi asked sleepily. What coffee?”
“Sydney was hospitalized due to an allergic shock. The doctor said it was due to an allergy to coconut water in the coffee she drank that day! The surveillance footage released by the crew showed that you gave her the coffee. Now her fans are going wild, and the company’s phones am blowing up. They even called the police accusing you of attempted murder
Naomi woke up instantly. “Attempted murder? How could I know what she’s allergic to? And I didn’t buy the coffee, I just passed it on.”
The manager knew Naomi well
She liked to bully unknown artists but wouldn’t dare to harm a star like Sydney
However Naomi’s action gave the manager a headache. ‘You didn’t even check if there was a problem with the coffee before giving it to someone Are you a newbie??
Naomi said. “A friend of the director brought the coffee, who would have thought there would be a problem? I’ll clarify on Twitter now, saying the director’s friend bought the coffee. I just helped to pass it on”
“Do you want to make enemies of everyone?”
The manager helplessly said, “Give me your Twitter password, I’ll tweet for you. Stay off Twitter for now”
Naomi complained. “So I should let others slander me?”
“Sydney hasn’t woken up yet. Be careful with your words, don’t provoke her fans, or they might dig up your past”
Naomi growled. These people are dumb. They just let Celeste off the hook?”
The manager didn’t understand what she was thinking, “Which is more serious, attempted murder or neglecting to save someone? Think clearly!” After that, he said. “TMm hanging up now, stay off Twitter“”
Naomi was unwilling, but she had to follow her manager’s arrangement.
Trisha argued with Sydney’s fans on Twitter for two hours, almost uninstalling Twitter in annoyance.
“I’ve argued too long with these idiots”
Fresh out of the shower, Celeste drank a glass of water and said. “Go to bed early; stop looking
Trisha lounging on the couch, said. “You go ahead, I’ll continue in a bit.”
Celeste relinquished. “Don’t stay up too late”
“Got it”
Celeste returned to her room, finished her skincare routine, and got into bed.
She didnt care about the comments online, but once she lay down, she couldn’t help but think about the nasty comments, finding it hard to fall asleep.
Her phone buzzed, it was Liam transferring her some money, with a note saying “to rest well and not to overthink”
Celeste was stunned momentarily staring at the message for a while. When she finally came to, she had already dialled his number.
She was about to hang up when he answered.
“Hello?”
Liam’s deep, magnetic voice came through the phone
Celeste
She moved her finger to the end call button, but Liam said, “Letti”
Celeste paused, not hanging up
‘Can’t sleep?
Liam’s voice was soft
Celeste answered him, “Yes,” she paused, then asked, “You can’t sleep either?”
Hearing her concern, Liam quickly gestured for Owen to be quiet, got up, and went into the break room, loosening his tie, he whispered, “I was about to go to sleep”
Celeste fiddled with the blanket, “Oh.”
Liam asked, “Why’d you call?”
Celeste said, “I dialled the wrong number”
Liam
He shouldn’t have asked that.
He ignored it and asked, “Can’t sleep?”
Celeste dishonestly said. “No”
Celeste nodded. “That’s normal, you were like that before. Maybe it’s because you’re getting old; the doctor says sleep duration is inversely proportional to age; the older you are, the less you sleep.”
Liam
He whispered, ‘So you sleep ten hours a day because you’re sixteen?”
Celeste furrowed her brows, “When did I sleep for ten hours?”
Liam paused briefly, “I’m complimenting you for being young. How did you read comprehension in school?”
Celeste…
She coughed, ‘Are you saying I don’t understand you? I’m going to deduct ten points of you!”
Liam…
“Can I say a few more things? I thought the deductions don’t accumulate?”
Celeste continued. “You think as you’re already at minus ten thousand points, a few more won’t matter?”
Liam chuckled lightly. “I want to see how far down I can go.”
Celeste grunted, “If you want to experience that, you’ll be at minus hundred thousand in no time”
Liam seemed to be in a good mood, he laughed a little, then quietly asked, “How are you feeling now?*
