Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 13

Lucia was shocked by the information sent from the private detective.

She found that Starry had helped Edward a lot in the past five years. Five years ago, Starry took a large sum of money from Filip, five million dollars, which was to get Edward out of plight.

What's more, the information showed that in the past five years, in order to help Edward thrive in the entertainment industry, Starry seemed to have certain associations with Declan Newman, President of Edward's company, Archangel Pictures.

It was indeed a pleasant surprise for Lucia.

But thinking of the call from Hudson, Lucia didn't lose her mind.

She had to come up with an impeccable plan.

Now that Filip had found a clue about Josh, it would be better for Josh to step out and deal with the following matters.

After thinking for a while, Lucia called Josh again.

Seeing the caller ID, Josh frowned and became impatient.

Seeing this, Aiden Rees, his agent, asked, "Who's on the phone?"

"Lucia."

"Then why don't you answer it? Ms. Scott is well-connected and she's in the same circle with Filip and others. Dillon is the heir of the Hallowflame Entertainment. Therefore, it's not a bad thing for you to have a good relationship with Lucia," Aiden said happily.

Josh raised his eyebrows, "That's not really necessary."

Aiden was exasperated that Josh didn't live up to his expectations. "Don't say that again. Although Edward is young and has started his career three years later than you, he is on par with you now. Why can't you be more active?"

Josh glanced at Aiden lazily, "He's got the ability."

Aiden was pissed off, "And you don't?"

Seeing that the call was about to hang up, Aiden hurriedly urged, "All right. All right. I won't talk about this with you anymore. I beg you. Just answer Ms. Scott first."

Josh impatiently pressed the answer key and then turned up the speaker, "Ms. Scott."

"Josh, if you are free in the next two days, let's meet. I have some information in hand that can pull Edward down."

Aiden was excited to hear that, but Josh didn't respond. "Ms. Scott really has a lot of information, doesn't you?"

He sounded quite sarcastic. Aiden nudged and winked at him to make him stop.

Reluctantly, Josh added, "Ms. Scott, don't get me wrong. I'm just praising you."

Lucia did feel uncomfortable hearing that just now, but since Josh explained it like this, she decided to drop it behind. "Tomorrow or the day after?"

"I'll be staying with the crew these two days. How about you meet with Aiden?"

Basically, agents and companies were responsible for the public relations of celebrities. Lucia thought for a while and agreed, "Okay, then tell your agent I'll meet him tomorrow noon."

After saying that, Lucia hung up the phone.

Josh frowned and looked up at Aiden. "Did you hear that?"

Of course, Aiden heard. Thinking that Lucia had Edward's scandals, he couldn't hide the joy on his face.

On the second day, Lucia met Aiden at noon.

Both Aiden and Lucia wanted to remove Edward from his current status. The two of them had a good talk, and Lucia was very satisfied with Aiden.

Compared with Josh, Aiden was more sophisticated.

"Okay, it's a deal then. I'll go first. In order to avoid being misunderstood by others. You can leave after half an hour."

Aiden intended to get more benefits for Josh, so he agreed with Lucia. "Ms. Scott, you are very considerate. Take care."

Lucia smiled, put on her sunglasses and left the room.

That night, the "evidence" of Starry's infidelity was suddenly released on the Internet, and another "insider" revealed that the reason why Starry married Filip was that she wanted to ask five million dollars to buy back Edward's freedom.

When Edward started his career at the age of fifteen, his guardian, namely his aunt, sold Edward to a notorious company at that time for money. During Edward's three years of career, Edward had no free time. However, all the money he earned was deducted by the company.

In the year when Edward was eighteen years old and had the right to make decisions himself, there was a sudden change that he terminated the contract with the original company and joined current company, Archangel Pictures.

Later, Edward made a breakthrough in an unexpectedly successful independent film and came to fame overnight.

In the next five years, he had access to more opportunities. Archangel Pictures almost spared no effort to train him. Up to now, Edward had already made it to A-list, which had something to do with the support of Archangel Pictures.

But the news revealed that for the sake of Edward, Starry had been having an affair with the President of Archangel Pictures, Declan Newman, for the past five years. That was why Declan was willing to support Edward.

When these two things were exposed, people were shocked. Some careful onlookers found the focal point: Starry married Filip in order to help Edward; to boost Edward's career, she cheated on her husband to ingratiate with Declan Newman. Moreover, Edward bought a small villa using the money he had saved up for many years and gave it to Starry. Thus, the relationship between Starry and Edward was really interesting.

Of course, most people were cursing Edward and Starry.

Edward was accused of being a parasite on Starry to achieve success, while Starry was criticized for abandoning her morality and self-esteem for Edward.

The two breaking news came all of a sudden and in the middle of night, and instantly became a hot topic on the Twitter.

Of course, the news not only caused a commotion on the Internet, but also in the upper-class circles of Araria City.

They had thought that Starry loved Filip so much. After Lucia came back, Filip quickly divorced Starry. Originally they sort of sympathized with Starry, but now it seemed that Filip was the one who should to be pitied.

Dillon and others were also a little astonished when they heard the news. He called Filip directly.

Late at night, Filip, who just finished his work, received a call from Dillon. He answered in a slightly impatient tone, "What's wrong?"

"Filip, I suggest you check the internet. There is news about Starry and Edward again. Have you already known about these things?"

Filip frowned with curiosity, "What did she do?"

"For Edward, she... Forget it. It's too ridiculous. You can go have a look yourself. I think it's not true."

It was so ridiculous that Dillon felt embarrassed to say it out.

It had to be said that as the heir of Hallowflame Entertainment, Dillon was quite rational and insightful in judging information of the entertainment circle.

Although the news report and the pictures released seemed to be reasonable, he still felt that it was impossible.

If Starry really cheated on Filip for that actor, she would be truly silly.

Ignoring the resources provided by the Pearson family and currying favor with the boss of a small company just to let him give more opportunities to Edward Willis?

Starry wouldn't be so stupid like that.
