Get Bags

Dereon asked, a bit curious, what kind of person could handle a sassy woman like Marie.

Cullen chuckled, “A backer? Mr. Whitney actually wanted to keep them, but the problem was that

Ms. Spence wasn’t interested at all…”

He turned around and glanced at Dereon, saying, “Mr. Hebert, I must take my leave.”

Dereon was truly ignorant. The Hebert family’s business was quite substantial, and anyone with a

bit of discernment could recognize Cullen as Dennis’ special assistant. Yet, Dereon failed to recognize

him.

Cullen returned to the company and handed the recording to Dennis. Dennis set the recorder aside and

asked, “Did Carly do this?”

Cullen nodded, “Dereon said it was Carly, but he wasn’t sure if there was anyone else helping Carly.”

“No need to confirm, just give the recording to Marie and let her handle it herself,” Dennis said.

“Mr. Whitney, how was Dereon handled?” Cullen asked.

“Let him be discharged, and then, look into who Kevin has been associating with lately. Find a way to

get them into Dereon’s bed.” Dennis didn’t even lift his head, still signing documents.

Cullen hesitated for a moment, then reminded, “Mr. Whitney, given Mr. Kevin’s personality, he

would cause trouble at the Hebert family’s place.”

“Let him make a fuss, the bigger the fuss, the better,” Dennis said.

“Mr. Whitney, Old Mr. Whitney might be unhappy,” Cullen didn’t want Dennis to become more

distant from his father.

Dennis looked up at Cullen and said, “You’ve been talking a lot lately.”

Cullen immediately bowed his head, “I’m sorry, I overstepped my bounds. I’ll take care of it right

away.”

Dennis didn’t care at all whether Edwin was unhappy or not. In fact, when he faced Edwin, he was like

a child, eager to make him unhappy, because that was the only way he could take revenge on

him.

He drove away his children, leaving himself with a lonely life, firmly grasping Whitney Group in his own

hands, and undermining his own power. Apart from that, there was nothing more he could do.

The next day, in an interview, Carly once again stated that she had indeed experienced harassment,

which also affected her recent work performance.

Marie was watching entertainment news, and over the past few days, Carly had publicly expressed her

desire for Darwin to come forward and apologize more than once. She also hoped that Global

Medias would provide her with an explanation.

However, under the guidance of Dennis and Andres, Global Medias remained silent, neither

admitting nor responding.

No matter what Carly said, there was no response from Global Medias and Darwin; it seemed like they

had completely disappeared from the internet.

However, some netizens discovered that Darwin was clearly online on Twitter, logging in dozens of

times a day, but he just remained silent.

As a result, netizens became even more convinced that Darwin was a coward, and they found various

ways to insult him daily under his Twitter posts.

After Sasha and Zane spoke up for Darwin on Twitter, they refused to accept any interviews and

remained silent about the matter. As a result, the public assumed they were on Darwin’s side, which led

to them losing several job opportunities.

After receiving the recording from Dennis, Marie confirmed that Carly was indeed involved in the

drugging incident. However, if even Cullen could think that Carly might have had help, wouldn’t Marie

have thought of that too?

Which time did Carly do something wrong without her weirdo mother getting involved?

Since this mother and daughter kept causing trouble, she decided to give them a taste of their own

medicine.

Darwin sent the phone number from which he had received the distress message to Marie. Marie.

asked Luca to track the number. Since phone numbers are now purchased with real names, it was

easy to trace the source. As expected, it was a number bought by Carly’s assistant.

A week had passed, and there was still no news from Darwin or any indication that Global Medias

wanted to terminate the contract. Although Sasha’s reputation had been slightly tarnished, she still held

a place in the entertainment industry.

Carly became a bit anxious.

She spent much effort trying to hook Darwin, even risking her own reputation, in order to get Darwin

into trouble. Only by doing this could she kick Sasha out of the entertainment industry.

However, now that Darwin’s reputation was tarnished, Sasha continued to do what she was supposed

to do and remained a rising young star who could compete with her. She couldn’t accept this! She was

determined to kick Sasha out!

Olive Entertainment officially announced that they would hold a press conference at 10 a.m. tomorrow

to discuss the incident Carly experienced on the day of the banquet and would accept all

interviews.

Get Borus ****-*

Marie turned off her computer, she had been waiting for this day. Carly had set up the stage herself and

was going to perform. If Marie didn’t go to support her, she would feel guilty for not appreciating the

great show her dear sister had arranged.

The next day, at York Hotel, 10 a.m.

Countless media reporters waited outside the hotel early, waiting for Carly to hold a press. conference.

This was the biggest scandal in the entertainment industry this year. A popular male artist harassed a

rising young star and was caught red-handed by a surveillance camera. Even with all their influence,

the Robert family was powerless to cover up this incident.

Not only were the media reporters waiting, but countless viewers were also watching the live stream,

waiting to see how Carly would handle the situation. Some people speculated that the Robert family

was powerful and influential, so Carly had no choice but to make a big fuss in order to get someone to

uphold justice for her.

At ten o’clock, Carly appeared punctually at the entrance of York Hotel. She was wearing a white dress

and no sunglasses. Even with makeup on, one could see the exhaustion on her face. Cameras were

constantly snapping photos of her. Carly’s assistant and bodyguard protected her as she walked into

the hotel, inviting the reporters to come in and sit down.

The press conference hadn’t started yet, but the live stream’s comments were already filled with curses

and insults directed at Darwin.

[Is Darwin a person? How much harm does this kind of thing cause to girls?]

[Carly had just entered the entertainment industry when she encountered such an unfortunate event.]

[Darwin, come out and apologize! Don’t be a coward!]

[The deity looked so haggard, they must have been terrified inside, it’s heartbreaking.]

[Darwin has no shame!]

[Sasha was supposed to help Darwin clear his name, right? Why didn’t they do it?]

(I’ll hate Darwin all my life!]

Carly sat on the stage, her head lowered, and spoke in a very hoarse voice, “Thank you to all the

reporters who came here today to help me witness and resolve this matter. First, please take a look at

the complete surveillance footage.”

The video on stage showed a segment of surveillance footage. In the video, Darwin swaggered as he

entered the room’s passcode. After looking left and right to make sure no one was in the hallway, he

went into the room. Not long after, Darwin seemed to be pushed out, his clothes disheveled.

Afterwards, Carly came out wrapped in a towel, pointing at Darwin and saying something unclear. Then

Carly’s assistant arrived, helped Carly pack her things, and they left the hotel.

This video was clear and complete, showing that Darwin indeed entered Carly’s room and attempted to

assault her, but ended up being chased out!

After the video was turned off, Carly lowered her head, seemingly trying to calm her emotions. After

two minutes, she sniffed, looked up, and said, “This incident has caused me great harm.

personally and has also affected my family. At this point, I just want to say that since there was no

substantial physical harm done to me, I only need Mr. Robert to apologize. I hope Mr. Robert and

Global Medias can respond.”

Carly had already said that if Global Medias didn’t respond, they would likely lose their reputation in the

industry.

At that moment, the comments in the live stream channel were filled with curses.

[Didn’t they say there was no solid evidence before? Now they’ve even held a press conference! They

got what they asked for! Are they satisfied now?]

[A girl who was bullied had to tell the whole world she was bullied in order to seek justice!]

[What does ‘justice will prevail’ mean? Why did Sasha and Zane stop talking? Are they playing dead?]

[Darwin still hasn’t apologized? It’s already good that they didn’t report you, and you’re not even willing

to apologize?]

[Quickly capture him and tear him apart, he’s so disgusting.]

[My poor Carly, sobbing away…]

At the press conference, the journalists began asking questions.

“Excuse me, Ms. Spence, did you have any prior interactions with Darwin? Or did he ever express any

abnormal thoughts towards you before?” the reporter asked.

Carly shook her head, “I don’t think so. I’ve never worked with him, so I don’t know him very well.

Maybe asking the female artists who have worked with him would give you a clearer answer.”

“The female artist you collaborated with? Are you referring to Ms. Sasha? What are your thoughts on

Sasha speaking up for Darwin on Twitter previously?” the reporter asked again.

Carly gave a bitter smile and said, “I’m not quite sure about the two of them, maybe everyone has

their own circle of friends.”

“May I ask, what did Darwin do to you at that time?” the reporter asked.

Carly’s face turned pale, and tears fell down her cheeks. She covered her mouth and sobbed for a

minute. The reporters didn’t rush her; they were just trying to get as much information as possible, but

they still felt sympathy for Carly.

“At that time, he just… suddenly entered the room and headed toward the bathroom. I had just finished

taking a shower and walked out… and then he… pulled at my bath towel. I struggled hard to break free

from him… I’m sorry, I don’t really want to recall this incident.” Carly sobbed with her

head down, her shoulders shaking, looking frail and helpless.

After a while, Carly looked up and said to the camera, “Darwin, if you have any remorse, please come

forward and apologize, give me an explanation.”

With tears in her eyes, she gave a faint smile, both poignant and pitiful, truly putting on a great

performance.

At that moment, the door was pushed open forcefully, and the reporters on both sides of the aisle

collectively turned their heads to look at the entrance.

Darwin stood in the center of the doorway, took one step at a time up the aisle, and walked up to

Carly.

He wore a simple T-shirt and jeans, with sneakers on his feet, and large sunglasses on his face, still

maintaining a cool appearance.

Darwin took off his sunglasses, threw them on the table in front of Carly, and said, “You wanted me to

step up, right? Well, I stepped up.”

Darwin’s appearance brought the entire press conference to a climax instantly. Carly was stunned for

two seconds, her facial expression showing some fear. She stood up and shrank back, not daring

to look at him.

The reporter and the audience naturally assumed that Darwin had caused psychological trauma to

Carly, which was why Carly was so scared.

Reporters swarmed in an instant, vying to interview Darwin.

“Excuse me, Mr. Robert, was it you who wore that outfit and harassed Ms. Spence at the hotel that

day?”

“May I ask what you were thinking? Weren’t you afraid of being exposed?”

“Is it true that you had inappropriate relationships with every female artist you partnered with?”

“Did Sasha speak up for you because she has a special relationship with you?”

“What did Sasha think about this matter?”

Upon hearing Sasha’s name, Darwin’s expression turned cold. He snatched the camera from the

reporter he was just talking to, threw it on the floor, and crushed it with his foot, saying, “What

does my business have to do with Sasha? If you’re interviewing me, interview me. Why bring up

Sasha?”

Darwin kicked the camera aside, looked around at the reporters, and said, “After all this fuss, you just

want the truth? I’ll give you the truth.” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

He looked at Carly again and smirked, “Carly, you’ve done enough acting, isn’t it my turn now?”

Carly’s heart skipped a beat, suddenly feeling a bit anxious… No, it couldn’t be. The Robert family

couldn’t possibly come back from England to help him with this minor issue in the entertainment

industry. Global Medias didn’t care much about him either, so there wouldn’t be anyone to help him!

This time, she was determined to defeat Darwin, kick Sasha out of the entertainment industry, and no

one could compete with her!
