You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 276
Clarissa wasn’t being soft-hearted and kind towards Verona. Instead, she just forgot about what she did for the time being.
It was already evening time by the time she thought of her.
Last night, she had even threatened to give Verona a big surprise in the morning. However, she only remembered it now. Verona might think that I’m just bluffing.
Forget it! So what if I was late for the surprise? As long as I keep my words and put them into action.
With that thought, she immediately gave Yael a call. She didn’t want to rely on Matthew to settle this issue.
Clarissa wasn’t able to kill Verona’s career with her current status in the entertainment industry. But there was still something else that she could do.
She decided to ban Verona from taking any role in any of her work.
After that, her studio issued a statement regarding this issue, making it clear that Clarissa Studio would not collaborate with Verona in the future. With that being released, she was then officially in opposition to Verona.
In the industry, even if they secretly hated someone to the core, no one would show it to the public.
It was rare for a studio to clearly show that they were against certain artists. It was even unprecedented.
Of course, some people might not take the statement seriously. After all, it was just a screenwriting studio. However, for those who were smart and intelligent, it was something to look into seriously.
Verona was a popular actress with a bright future ahead while Clarissa was a famous screenwriter. Of course, she wasn’t the one and only screenwriter in the industry. However, she was certainly someone not to be messed with.
Meanwhile, Verona was initially selected as one of the cast members for a travel variety show. As soon as Clarissa Studio released the official statement, the TV station was rather hesitant in the decision to invite Verona to the show.
This was because the show was considered one of the most popular variety shows in the country, and it was high in the ratings. It had brought fame to a lot of celebrities since the first season. Therefore, they were extremely cautious when casting a celebrity. TV station certainly wasn’t afraid of being threatened by someone or offending anyone. If they were to choose Verona, their decision would definitely not easily affected by a statement from a studio.
Initially, the director had just decided to let Verona be one of the cast members. He had been in contact with Verona’s manager. Although they had not discussed in detail yet, both parties were likely to reach a consensus.
But today, a female producing director brought up the statement of Clarissa studio.
Collaborating with Verona meant they were going against Clarissa studio. Since there wasn’t any close interaction between them and the studio, they could have just ignored it.
However, the female producing director mentioned something, “Boss, in my opinion, it’s better for us to give up on the thought of working with Verona at this time. Let’s choose someone else. Sooner or later, Verona might not be able to stay any longer in the showbiz industry.”
The director was shocked. The female producing director was a capable woman. Usually, she would only talk about this kind of topic with the director.
“What’s going on? You’ve got any inside scoop?”
She shook her head. “I don’t have any, but I do have something to tell you. You have to keep it as a secret, ok?”
Then, she said cautiously, “Recently, I’ve taken a break and spent my vacation with my husband. We headed all the way up to the north. When we passed by W City, my husband and I bumped into Clarissa Quigley. Of course, I didn’t know it was her at that time. Besides, she was with a man and a kid. They were having a meal in a restaurant.”
“Do you have to explain everything in detail? Can’t you just get straight to the point?”
She immediately said, “Here’s the point! Do you know who the man with the pretty screenwriter was?”
“Who was it?”
The female producing director looked around carefully and whispered a name in the director’s ear.
The director’s jaw dropped and his eyes widened as shock overwhelmed him. After quite a while, he finally asked, “Did you say they were with a kid?” Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
She nodded vigorously.
Bang!
Suddenly, the director slammed the table and walked out of the office. He was yelling as he walked, “Let’s find a replacement! Quickly…”
Meanwhile, the female producing director shook her head and burst into laughter behind him.
Tsk. The director should have thanked her, as well as her husband.
If it wasn’t for her husband, they would not have gone to W City. In that case, they would definitely not run into that family of three. Thus, they would continue working with Verona. It was actually fine for the time being as there would not be a great impact on the show. However, who would know what was going to happen in the future? Verona might be blacklisted in the industry for good. That would be a huge loss for them, especially if they had not finished the shooting.
Thus, one should really be grateful for everything that happened in their lives.
Meanwhile, Verona totally didn’t know what was going on. She still acted recklessly and behaved arrogantly, clamoring to change her manager. By afternoon, she was informed that Maxdon was no longer working as her manager. The company didn’t even mention anything about her new manager in the future.
Everything happened in only a few hours. Verona was a little confused.
She felt a little nervous at first. However, she managed to shrugged it off after a while.
She was a new rising star. After all, the company wouldn’t give up on her and take Maxdon’s side. She believed that the company wasn’t satisfied with Maxdon’s performance either. Hence, they wanted to get her a better manager.
Verona strongly believed in herself and the company.
Thus, Verona wasn’t bothered by the statement from Clarissa studio at all.
She even tweeted and refuted the statement: Some people thought they are powerful and successful enough to manipulate everyone. Do they think they own the showbiz? Do they really think they could easily pull the strings from behind the scenes? Bring it on! A clean hand wants no washing. I have nothing to fear. I’m not afraid of being set up. I will not compromise. I will never bow down to the evil forces, even if it meant staking my own future.
Her words were harsh. Verona was trying to show her honest and decent image to the public while implying that Clarissa was the evil force who pulled strings behind the scenes.
As soon as she posted that tweet, her fans immediately started to attack Clarissa. In no time, both her personal and studio Twitter were flooded with hateful comments. Rumors had it that Clarissa wouldn’t become a famous screenwriter without riding on others’ coattails. Besides, she had sold her body in order to win an award. Anyway, there were nasty comments everywhere.
Clarissa had quite a number of fans as well. Both of their fans were fighting against each other on the internet.
Usually, the company would at least release something in response, especially at this very moment. Or perhaps, other artists from the same company would say something about it.
It was weird that the company did not respond at all. Instead, Verona had informed her circle of friends to support her. But, they were either in the middle of something, or not answering her phone.
Verona couldn’t help but grit her teeth in anger. She was completely clueless about what was going on.
As for Clarissa, surprisingly, many people were on her side other than her studio. A lot of artists, artist’s studios and those who had worked with Clarissa before liked or retweeted her tweet to show their supports, making her look much more trustworthy as compared to Verona who was fighting alone.
Therefore, some casual fans and wise fans who originally believed in Verona’s words had eventually come to realize that they should give Clarissa the benefits of the doubt.
The news spread like wildfire. Clarissa didn’t care about the issue at all. She didn’t even notice the news until she went online.
She was grateful for those who had been helping and rooting for her. However, she had totally no idea about Verona’s situation.
Meanwhile, Clarissa had already checked out of the hotel and moved her stuffs back to Zen Highlands.
She could finally feel a sense of belonging by laying on the sofa.
After being obstinate all this while, she still came back. Suddenly, she realized how childish and stubborn her thoughts were back then.
At the end of the day, she still came back to the same place.
Clarissa didn’t hold in her feelings when she finally plucked up the courage to make a video call to Damian and Catherine.
They chatted for a very long time. Damian was exclaiming and grinning excitedly throughout the call. Other than that, her grandma didn’t say much. Clarissa felt so much relieved.
After hanging up the call, she thought of bringing Damian back to stay with her for a period of time.
But she would definitely have to deal with a lot of challenges if she were to bring Damian over. Would he be exposed to the public? Would she be able to keep Damian as a secret? However, the walls have ears.
With that thought, Clarissa found herself in a difficult position. She lost in her thoughts while hugging on the pillow alone.
Meanwhile, Julia witnessed the whole video call. She was shocked to the core.
But fortunately, her lips were sealed. Clarissa’s secret was safe with her. Hence, she didn’t avoid making that call in front of Julia.
While Clarissa was going through a dilemma, she went on Twitter to check things out. Only then did she realize that some videos during the charity auction was leaked on the internet, and she had gained much attention.
However, her pictures and videos had been removed very quickly. It seemed that Matthew had taken care of it.
Even if those pictures and video were gone, the story about Clarissa Quigley and her men was spread secretly on the web forum.
Clarissa’s first rumored boyfriend was Ryler Cooper. Back then in the film studio, people had been gossiping about her taking the initiative to go after Ryler.
The second man was also the most important one. Three years ago, Clarissa had a so-called fiancé, as known as the president of Tyson Corporation. However, their relationship had been complicated and confusing so far. Was he really her fiancé? Or they had actually split up silently three years ago?
Director Yates was the third one. He was the one who made Clarissa famous and made her the best screenwriter. He had been giving her all kinds of support in order to smooth her way in showbiz.
The following man was Luke Harrison. Judging from his behavior, he was clearly interested in Clarissa, He was a well-known ladies’ man in D City.
Finally, Joshua was the last one on the list, He was a renowned illustrator who took Clarissa to the charity auction. Word on the street was that he came from a mysterious background. However, neither did anybody know where the rumor came from.
The five of them were not just average Joe. They had been in contact with Clarissa. Therefore, those rumors weren’t baseless at all.
Clarissa was merely a writer who wasn’t even willing to reveal her face to the public. Eventually, she had turned into the talk of the town. People were getting more curious about her.
Generally, people had the tendency to be interested in the men behind a gorgeous and talented woman, as well as her love history.
