Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet? novel Chapter 390

The people in the photo were none other than Mr. Jude and Laura from the bar last time.

The moment that photo came out, it made huge waves on the internet.

Some of Laura’s past had been dragged out as well.

For example, her past intimacy with certain male actors in certain shows, seeming like they were being coupled deliberately, or other instances of another show where she’d gone to a director’s room in the middle of the night to talk about the script, seeming like she was trying to sleep her way to the position.

All in all, heavily speculative items rushed up like a tide, as if someone had prepared them beforehand.

And Laura’s show this time might have been a period drama, but because it’d been a hot property before, and the director was the famed genius Leroy, it’d always received plenty of attention.

From declaring the script finished a year ago to the casting to the final shooting, whether it was in the industry or online, everyone was looking forward to it.

The show had even taken an award for the most hyped show by the audience in the beginning of the year.

From that alone it was clear how hot this show was on the internet.

And as the costar, the scenes Laura had were second only to the lead, but then this scandal had happened, and the internet lost its collective mind right away.

The caption underneath the photo was simple and brutal.

The Pure Actress’ True Face Revealed#

And below the search bar, the comments were already calling for blood.

“Well, shit! I thought she’d taken the role with real talent, but she actually slept her way there?”

“That’s a familiar looking hotel. Isn’t this that one nightclub that’s been getting famous lately? I hear there’s a lot of those kinds of dealings going on inside, why would she go to a place like that?”

“She’s probably a regular, just acts pure.”

“That man looks like the CEO of Aspen Enterprises! That’s a huge entertainment company, maybe the two really have something to do with each other.”

“Just look at the way they’re clinging to each other. It’s obvious.”

“That gross? Wasn’t she playing up the hard worker, go-getter personality? It’s that type of hard work, then!”

“What an embarrassment, this sort of person should get out of the entertainment business!”

“Yeah! Get the hell out of entertainment!”

Soon, #CancelLauraDavies# had gotten on the top hashtags of the internet.

As for Laura, she was still asleep and didn’t know what was going on.

It was nice that she got a few days’ holiday. Even though there was plenty to worry about later on, she could still take a break. After all, trouble or not, the day would pass all the same.

Laura was fine with it, but her agent Maria was jumping on coals.

Because she kept her phone on silent whenever she slept, Maria couldn’t contact her at all.

At a loss, she called Elsa.

Elsa couldn’t contact her either, but considering that Laura’s relationship with Natalia was pretty good, she ended up calling Natalia.

Coincidentally, when Natalia took the call, she happened to be in Archie’s office.

And other than her, there was one more person in Archie’s office, and that happened to be Max.

Max had come here in a rare occasion for no other reason than that he was bored and had come around for a spin.

Then the moment he arrived, he’d heard the big news.

And he expressed right away that for something this small, why’d Natalia need to step in personally anyway?

He was free with nothing to do, so he could help.

Natalia looked at him with a half-smile and teased, “Say, Max, why do I feel like the moment Laura’s involved, you’re especially active about it? It’s not that you like her, right?”

Max’s face was a bit awkward at getting called out like that.

But he didn’t deny it.

Seeing that, Natalia handed him the whole thing to resolve on a platter.

Having permission, Max was overjoyed and left happily.

After he left, Natalia looked at the time and found it was getting late. She still had to stop by the office, so she said goodbye to Archie.

Laura’s incident was resolved soon enough.

After all, with Max there, he had plenty of Mr. Jude’s dirty secrets in hand, and he had video of Laura’s dispute with Sally on set.

Aside from Sally, no one else could have done this.

After investigating, he found that it really was her.

Max forwarded all the information and HR documents to Elsa, and Elsa had Sally exposed right away, and the incident died down.

On the other end, Archie was going out of the country for a few days.

Natalia could clearly feel how close the man had stuck to her in this time. Thankfully, Felix hadn’t done anything so far and hadn’t come between them, so the two were still lovey-dovey as ever.

This time, Archie was leaving the country for business, and Natalia had promised to pick him up at the airport when he came back.

Today, Archie was taking the morning flight, and was expected to arrive at noon.

Natalia finished shooting her scenes in the morning, hurried back to the hotel, took her makeup off and changed, then rushed to the airport.

The two hadn’t seen each other for days, and absence made the hearts grow fonder.

But before Natalia could reach the airport, she suddenly received a phone call from Victoria.

The moment it connected, a female whimper came from the other end.

“Natalia, help me!”

Natalia jumped, swerved the car to the side, and screeched to a halt next to the road.

“What’s wrong?” she demanded urgently.

“I’m at the Musi Hotel, Room 5003, come save me…”

The call ended there and suddenly hung up with a clack.

With no explanation of what had happened, and no request to call the police, it had just hung up like that.

Natalia looked at the dark screen and felt a surge of panic.

She instinctively thought of Charlie.

She tried to call him, then remembered that because the two of them didn’t get along, she hadn’t saved his number.

It was too late to go look for it now.

Besides, she didn’t fully trust Charlie Peck. That man could betray Victoria once, and what’s to say he wouldn’t betray her a second time?

Maybe it was he who’d done whatever to Victoria!

Considering that, Natalia’s panic intensified.

She ended up sending a rushed text to Archie and speeding towards the hotel.

The Musi wasn’t far from her position, and it was only about a quarter-hour’s drive.

Natalia walked into the hotel, got inside the elevator, and went to the fifteenth floor, coming across Room 5003 as Victoria had said.

She placed a hand on the door and was debating if she ought to knock or get the hotel staff to open the door when a pain came from her lower neck. A current surged through her body and her vision went black, then her consciousness faded.

Meanwhile, Archie had just gotten off the plane.

The moment he disembarked, he took out his phone, then received Natalia’s text.

Reading the contents, his face changed.

He hurriedly dialed back, and after five or six trills, the phone connected.

But a stunning sound was playing on the other end.

“Felix… not so hard… mmm…”
