Chapter 213
Lila furrowed her brows as she scrolled through the comments. Her gaze was cold, and a layer of frost seemed to
spread in her eyes, gradually releasing a chill.
She looked up at Amelia, who was visibly upset and anxious, clearly already aware of the online rumors.
"Looks like they're after you."
Lila nodded, understanding that the target of this whole issue had beccrystal clear.
As for who was behind it, she had a faint idea forming in her mind.
"Get rid of Fletcher. Otherwise, this will keep escalating."
Seeing that Lila didn't respond immediately, Amelia quickly grasped what she meant.
"You're worried that if we fire him now, it'll look like we're guilty and we have something to hide?"
Sitting down on the couch, she sighed in frustration. "I should've stood my ground from the start. Now, both

what they want to see.
"What | don't understand is who benefits from this scandal. Could it be that female artist?"
Lila set aside what she was holding, stood up, and walked over to the floor-to- ceiling window, staring at the
towering buildings outside. She was silent for a long moment before speaking.
"I don't think it's her. If it were, even if she successfully broke the relationship, this scandal would likely ruin
Fletcher. After all, which male star would dare to work with her in the future? At the very least, she wouldn't be
the mastermind.
"Let's release all the audition tapes for Fletcher's role to prove that he earned his spot through his own talent.
That way, we can clear up this scandal and avoid tarnishing both Joyce Group's and Lane Group's reputations.
"As for the and the suspicions aboutand Fletcher, I'll think of a way to address it."
After hearing her plan, Amelia didn't waste any time. She immediately contacted the company staff to gather the
audition footage and posted it online as quickly as possible. However, the video, just like Fletcher's clarification,
didn't convince the fans.
They still insisted that Lila was trying to climb up by attaching herself to Fletcher, hoping to find another money
tree. The online comments were full of insults, attacking her relentlessly.
"@Magi Pictures-Lily Hart, stop making excuses. You know what kind of person you are, right? You have a
criminal record! Do you even believe this explanation yourself?"
"Everyone knows Fletcher is in a relationship. How dare you interfere with someone's relationship? Are you
asking for punishment?"
"Lila, just die already! Die already! Die already!"
"It would be best if you were hit by a car outside!"
"Boycott Lila! Citrus Media, replace her now! Or I'll report you immediately!"
"Lila has no right to mess with Fletcher!"
"@Magi Pictures-Lily Hart, cout and give us an explanation. Still too scared to admit it? Even a turtle isn't as
cowardly as you, you beast!"
Amelia was fuming, ready to argue back with them through the internet. "Don't these people care about their
idols at all? Don't they see how their insane attacks on Fletcher and other actresses affect him?

"He hasn't worked for six months! Can't they see that?"
Lila smiled faintly, without a trace of warmth. They don't care about that. To them, it's all about the gossip. They
selfishly want things to go their way without concern for Fletcher's career or income."
She suddenly recalled Dorian and Zara's fans from long ago, who were just as obsessed with their pairing. As for
herself, the legitimate girlfriend... She laughed, but her laughter was tinged with mockery.
Lila walked over to Amelia's side and gently patted her head as if soothing a grumpy kitten.
Amelia's golden hair tangled with her fingers, calming her down.
"Ms. Joyce, don't worry. I'll handle this. It's getting late. Go hand rest. Don't worry. | won't let this affect the
opening ceremony." Her voice wasn't loud, but it had a clear sense of calm and confidence, like a pine tree
standing proudly on the highest peak, tall and unafraid of the wind.
Amelia, surprisingly, listened to her. She nodded, heading for the door. Before leaving, she glanced back and saw
Lila's smile-bright and reassuring.
Did Lila perhaps already have a plan? She bit her lip, returned the smile, and left. Once Lila was sure Amelia had
left, her expression immediately turned cold.
