Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 551

When Sophia went downstairs, Alexander had just finished a call too.

When their eyes met, Sophia said with a smile, “Seems like you're going to be quite busy, Mr. Xenos.”

Alexander embraced her waist and pulled her closer. He lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead, replying, “No. It's just something that is happening online.”

Hearing his response, Sophia couldn't help but click her tongue and remark, “So, you're aware of it too?”

“Yeah.”

He handed Sophia a bowl of oatmeal. “Felix just called me.”

As soon as he finished speaking, his phone buzzed on the table. Sophia glanced at the screen and noticed it was a message from Samuel.

Alexander looked at Sophia before picking up his phone. After scanning Samuel's message, he raised the phone in front of her and asked, “Do you want him to clarify?”

Sophia shook her head and replied, “There's no need for that.”

It was true that she had 'pulled some strings' and got her own artiste to replace Nina, so there was no need to explain this matter. Sophia wasn't concerned about what others might say about that.

After all, one would need money and connections to pull those strings. While she was able to convince

Samuel, any other ordinary person would not be able to do the same.

Those netizens were merely spectators seeking entertainment. Business matters were often a give- and-take situation. Moreover, there was no such thing as absolute justice in this world.

Ultimately, it was Nina's own misguided intentions that led to this situation.

If she wanted to win the favor of influential people, she couldn't possibly blame others for doing the same at her expense.

Sophia had no interest in wasting her time and energy dealing with someone like Nina. It wasn't worth creating such a commotion and involving Samuel and Alexander.

Alexander knew that Sophia had always dealt with matters efficiently. Since that was what she said, she probably had already devised a strategy to handle the situation.

“Okay, let me know if there's anything I can do.”

Alexander picked up his phone and responded to Samuel's message.

Samuel was confused when he saw the trending searches in the morning. His immediate reaction was to worry if Alexander would hold him responsible for the situation. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

No matter what, he would admit his mistake first.

Samuel had initially thought that Alexander would scold him. However, to his surprise, Alexander

merely replied, No need.

Samuel was shocked. Did Alexander finally become a kind person?

Nevertheless, he knew what was the right thing to do first.

Kicking Nina out of the cast after she offended Alexander was quite a minor issue. However, to his astonishment, that stupid woman managed to stir up so much trouble in just a few days.

It was not necessarily the case that Samuel never got angry. While this matter may not seem directly related to him, his company was the one who invested in the show and he gave the order to remove her. Now that the situation had escalated to this stage, he knew he couldn't simply distance himself from it.

Furthermore, since he was the one who gave the instruction personally, no fools in the industry would dare to stir up trouble.

Yet, Nina and the other lead actors in the drama allowed their fans to exacerbate the situation. By doing so, they have completely disregarded Samuel's authority.

They would take him to be a weakling if he did not show his authority.

Samuel set his phone aside and dialed the internal line, summoning his secretary, Joseph, in.

Soon after, Joseph knocked on the door and entered. Having come across the chaos online that morning, he had contemplated whether to inform Samuel about it. However, it seemed that Samuel already knew about it.

Joseph glanced at Samuel. “Yes, Mr. Schild?”

“Have you seen the recent news online?”

Joseph nodded. “Yes, I have.”

“Forget about Nina as she has already been removed from the cast. But what about the other lead actors from Petite Youth? Are they allowing their fans to spread rumors about me showing favoritism to Sophia's artist?”

Samuel seldom loses his cool, but he was genuinely furious that day. Halfway through his sentence, he raised his hand and slammed the table, declaring, “Do they not take my words seriously? Or do they believe their temporary popularity will make them invincible? Inform everyone that from now on, all shows that our company is investing in are not allowed to hire Nina. As for the other lead actors, if they fail to control their fans' comments, they can kiss any future collaboration with our company goodbye!”

Do they think that Midway Media doesn't have any other artists? Are those minor celebrities so arrogant that they think they can afford to act so recklessly?

Joseph froze momentarily before nodding quickly. “Understood, Mr. Schild.”

Those individuals did not know the boundary. Not only did Sophia have Alexander and Samuel backing her up, but she also was more than capable to deal with the troublemakers alone.

Upon leaving the office, Joseph swiftly instructed his assistant to notify Ross. Although he had not anticipated such twists and turns when filming the web series, he was fully aware that he couldn't afford

to provoke a powerful man like Samuel. After receiving the call, Ross promptly halted the filming and gathered the lead actors' managers to discuss the matter.

“You've probably seen what happened online. I don't know what you all are thinking, but this drama is funded by Midway Media. In this industry, Midway Media and Planetary Media hold the utmost power. If you wish to make a name for yourselves, you cannot afford to clash with Midway Media. The situation this morning has escalated to a crazy extent. Fans have been hurling insults and spreading malicious rumors about Ms. Yarrow. Mr. Schild's secretary just called, saying that if any artists fail to manage their fans, Midway Media will no longer cooperate with them.”

As soon as Ross finished speaking, everyone's expressions changed.

Some were merely spectators, while others hoped to benefit from the situation. Now, none of them dared to entertain such notions any longer. The managers swiftly informed their respective company's public relations department to start controlling the fans.

Within just an hour, the main cast of the drama started to publish an official statement online. All of them were in favor of the newcomer recommended by Sophia.

Of course, Nina also received a call of warning from Joseph. Both she and her manager were terrified and quickly took to the internet to clarify their actions.

However, since the discussions online had already taken off, the audience cared little about the truth. In fact, they were only concerned with their own amusement.

Even though Nina took the initiative to clarify what exactly happened, the netizens insisted that she had been coerced.

It was true that she had been threatened, but unfortunately, nobody believed it.

Nina and her manager were in complete disarray. They had no choice but to turn to Shiloh for help.

Shiloh had just been in a relationship with Nina for a little over two months, so they were still in the honeymoon phase. When he answered her call, he showered her with words of reassurance and said that it wasn't a major issue.

Indeed, it wasn't a major issue. However, soon enough, news of Nina exploiting her connections and unfairly eliminating other artists was exposed.
