Chapter 2212
Ivy was on a mission to dig up evidence, and even Colton and his crew were getting antsy.
Being badmouthed and pointed at was not a pleasant experience.
Then Colton called Diana over for a talk.

“Diana, I think it’s high time we had another chat about your role in this film,” Colton said,
pulling up a document with the producer and sitting across from Diana.
“What’s this about, Director? Are you firing me?” Diana’s voice quivered as she took a few
steps back.
“To be honest, the thought had not crossed my mind until you brought it up. But now that
you mention it, it might not be such a bad idea.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe world was teeming with actors; Diana was hardly irreplaceable like Ivy.
Colton could replace this troublemaker whenever he wanted.
“You can’t do this to me! Don’t you realize I could go public with this and make a scandal -
online?”
Colton replied with dwindling patience, “Diana, you seem to overestimate your
importance. I may not have much power, but getting rid of a problematic actor is trivial.”
Diana took several steps back, disbelief etched on her face. Impossible, utterly impossible!
If the production team decided to replace her now, it would only fan the flames of public
outrage. Anyone with a brain would not make such a move, especially not under the
critical gaze of the netizens!
“Colton, replace me now? Do you want your movie to bomb at the box office?”
Colton remained unfazed. “Do you really think you can drag the entire movie down with
you? You’re seriously overestimating yourself!
“Oh, Colton, don’t you get it? If you replace me how, you’re not just fighting me. You’re
fighting the entire internet! The online community is unanimously on my side, feeling
sorry for me. You’ll be up against thousands, if not millions, of netizens.
If they find out that instead of addressing the situation, you choose to replace the
oppressed actress, what do you think they will feel?”
Finding her footing, Diana stood up tall, a self-assured smile playing on her lips.
“Colton, as far as I know, you’ve spent years preparing for this film. You would not want to
see it destroyed, would you?”
Colton fell silent. What Diana said was indeed the dilemma they were facing.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt first, it seemed like just a clash between Ivy and Diana. But after the secret recording
was leaked and edited to portray the entire crew oppressing the secondary actress, the
situation escalated.
Regardless of the reality, netizens were now siding with Diana in the name of justice. Even
the few voices questioning the authenticity of the news were quickly drowned out by the
collective outrage.
They were all waiting for the production team to provide a reasonable response.
The official account’s comment section was flooded with demands from the public for a
statement.
The crew was in disarray, and even they were uncertain how to handle the situation.
They had not received any direction from the director or producer, nor did they know what
stance to take.
Diana had indeed brought disaster upon the production team!
