Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet? novel Chapter 193

Before, they’d thought that she was just another pretty face who got the role of female lead.

With some underhanded methods and putting down her sister at that too. Because of that, nobody had any interest in interviewing her.

But seeing this scene, they realized how mistaken they had been.

This Natalia Dawson wasn’t just a good actor, she was great.

Especially that aura she had been emanating. If it hadn’t been for the cameras around her, just looking at the scene was enough to pull someone into it completely. One could really believe that she was the high and mighty Empress of the land!

If someone like that were to start her career, she’d blaze a path down the entertainment industry.

Reporters with foresight couldn’t hold back their liking for Natalia. They came up clutching their microphones. “Is this really your first time acting, Miss Natalia?”

Natalia looked at her, blinked, and nodded. “Yes.”

“Have you received professional training before this? That performance back there was not that of someone new to acting.”

Natalia smiled, no trace of her earlier imperiousness and coldness on her delicate features.

Facing the countless cameras and microphones, her face even showed a trace of shyness and discomfort, which made her especially endearing.

Lightly, she replied, “No, but before I entered the cast, I heard that Director Langes’ project was one of many years of passion. Since he was kind enough to give me a chance, of course I can’t let him down. So I studied the script and the characters in detail beforehand. Maybe because of that, I really felt like the Empress when I was performing. That’s why it went so well!”

“You just said that you put in extra effort because it was a passion project from Director Langes. Then the rumors of your affair with him circulating throughout the internet – are they true?”

Deathly silence followed that question.

Nobody had expected someone to kill the mood with a question like that.

This was an interview with the cast, so the questions had been screened by the cast beforehand to only be about the series.

Because of that, no one would have blamed Natalia for not saying anything.

However, she simply smiled lightly, looked at the person who’d asked that question, and asked back, “What do you think?”

The reporter jolted, not expecting her to throw the ball back.

She stammered, “How – how would we know that!”

Natalia chuckled, “You’re naturally curious because you don’t know. I believe everyone else has the same question, and just didn’t ask because of the scene today. Since that’s the case, let me give you all a reply! It’s not true. My relationship with Director Vicente Langes is just about our work. Other than that, there’s nothing else.”

She actually replied. That lifted the seal on the tabloid soul inside the reporters there.

Immediately afterwards, someone followed, “Since it’s not true, then how about the photographs that leaked onto the internet?”

“There were rumors of a secret relationship between you and Vicente Langes and photos of the two of you embracing in a restaurant corridor. Now we have pictures of you entering his room deep in the night. How do you explain all of this?”

“We are now all witnesses of your acting now, but before formally becoming involved in this show, no one’s seen what you could do. How did you convince Vicente Langes to allow you to play the female lead?”

“…”

Countless questions came down on her like a rainstorm.

Seeing the situation was about to get out of control, Nancy, who stood at a short distance away, was about to rush up to stop them.

But the moment she moved, Natalia gestured at her to stop.

To the side, the reporters who’d been interviewing Jessica saw that she was willing to answer such a question and swarmed over.

In just a moment, Jessica, who’d originally been surrounded by media, was left with no one around her, while Natalia got all the attention.

Her anger flared.

Natalia just had it out for her, didn’t she?

Stealing her thunder even on an interview?

Jessica clenched her fists, looked at Natalia’s surrounded state, and sneered from the bottom of her heart.

Fine. Let’s see how you would deal with all these questions?

Faced with all those barbed tongues, Natalia’s expression remained passive and calm.

She waited until everyone had calmed down a bit before saying, “You’re not the only ones curious about last night. I’m curious too.”

Everyone jolted, not taking her meaning.

Natalia smiled faintly, a bit of irony in her smile. “I won’t lie. Last night, I received a call from Director Langes and he asked me to go over and discuss the scene to be shot today. This is quite normal in the cast. Everyone saw us as well, the scene today is probably the most important scene in the show. As the director, meeting up with the lead to discuss the performance isn’t anything strange. What’s strange is, not long after I went into the director’s room, I was drugged. The both of us remained unconscious until this morning. Not only that, but the photos of me entering his room had been released onto the internet and used to frame us into a relationship. I’m also very curious – who it was that’s plotting against me like this behind my back. I’m just a small-time actress who has only stepped foot into the industry, and I haven’t offended anyone or gotten in anyone’s way. But the people plotting all this seem to be determined to end me and destroy my reputation. If anyone here has a clue and can tell me about it, I would be very grateful.”

At that, everyone was taken aback.

Nobody had expected this.

Instantly, someone asked, “You say somebody drugged you. Do you have proof?”

Natalia cocked an eyebrow, looked at the person who asked, and said, “Of course.”

She took out a piece of paper from her pocket and showed it to everyone.

“Look here. This is an analysis report for the food and drink we had last night in the room of Director Langes. It’s clearly written here that they were laced with drugs to cause unconsciousness.”

Someone put up a camera and started snapping off shots of the report right away.

Natalia didn’t budge, either. She just let them take the photos. When they were done, she put the report away.

“So I have reason to suspect that there are people who have ill intentions towards me in the cast and want to use Director Langes to ruin my name and my future. As for who it was, I’ve already called the police. I believe that when the time comes, justice will be on my side. If my media friends here are interested, you can of course follow up on your own. I have no opinion on that.”

With that, Natalia drew Nancy to her side and ended the interview.
