Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 14

As soon as the news on the Internet came out, Catherine saw it.

She took a look at the assistant beside her, "Aya, go keep an eye on Edward. I'll call Starry."

Today, Edward was shooting an advertisement. He had just finished his make-up and went upstairs to shoot. Aya Hudson had just sorted out Edward's things and hadn't had the time to surf online. She didn't know the news about Starry.

Hearing that Catherine was going to call Starry, Aya thought it might be related to the casting problem of 'Only Moon Can Tell', so she quite excited. "Go ahead, Catherine. I'll watch over Edward."

Catherine smiled. Of course, Aya couldn't restrain Edward from what he wanted to do, but she had a way. "Don't give the phone to Edward when he takes a rest later."

Aya nodded. Catherine took a look at Edward on the stage and then went out to call Starry.

Starry was indeed preparing a new book recently. When she received Catherine's call, she didn't know what had happened on the Internet.

"Starry, have you seen anything on Twitter today?"

Starry glanced at a new document she just created on the computer, in which there were only a few words. She rubbed her temples. "No, I haven't."

"There is a rumor online that you had an affair with Mr. Newman during your marriage with Filip. The thing that you had helped Edward with five million dollars is also exposed."

Starry frowned, "Let me have a look."

As she spoke, she opened Twitter from her computer. As soon as she logged in, she saw that her name was right on the trending list.

Obviously, someone was playing tricks on her this time. Starry didn't care what people said. But even Holy Mary would have a temper for those people had already scolded her.

She pursed her lips, "I see. You deal with the public relations of Edward first. I'll contact Mr. Newman."

Catherine tentatively asked, "How are you going to clarify it?"

Starry smiled, "Just tell the truth."

Catherine's heart skipped a beat. She immediately understood what Starry meant. "Then your relationship with Edward..."

"Edward is my brother."

"Okay. I know what I should say."

Catherine always knew that Starry took Edward as her brother. She was just curious about what had happened that year, that Starry would marry Filip for Edward.

Over the years, she could tell that Starry never took Edward as a lover.

Of course, these was not something for her to dig into.

After hanging up the phone, Starry turned off the computer and called Declan.

In fact, she didn't have much contact with Declan. She didn't expect that someone could post so many photos of her and Declan. This person had stared at them for a long time.

Of course, Declan had read the news on the Internet. When he received the call from Starry, he guessed what Starry was going to do. "Ms. Bradley."

"Mr. Newman, sorry to bother you. You should have seen what happened on the Internet."

"You're much too kind, Ms. Bradley. I was about to call you."

Starry looked out of the window. The weather was good today. She walked out of the balcony and looked at the flower bush downstairs. "Mr. Newman, how are you going to clarify this matter?"

Her tone was as calm as still water, and no emotion could be sensed.

However, Declan had met Starry several times and sort of acquainted himself with her. Starry was usually an impassive person. She wouldn't mind it as long as other people didn't cross the line.

It was indeed a serious matter this time. After all, this matter was related to the Pearson family, Edward, and more importantly, the reputation of Starry.

Declan thought for a while, "Ms. Bradley, you have been behind the scenes all these years. Don't you want to show up?"

Declan and Starry had the same thought. "If it weren't for this matter, I really didn't plan to do so. But this matter is so serious that I may need your help, Mr. Newman."

Starry always respected Declan, and she wouldn't boss around about the company's affairs. Declan was very satisfied with this business partner and respected her.

Archangel Pictures had spent a lot of manpower and material resources on Edward. If they couldn't handle the matter well this time, Edward would be a nobody.

Business people valued profit. Nothing was more important than profit.

Of course, Declan wouldn't refuse Starry's request. "Ms. Bradley, you shouldn't have. We are closely linked. As for this matter, you and I happen to have the same view. Then I'll have someone make a statement."

Otherwise, other information might be dug up again.

Although Declan didn't think there was anything valuable between Starry and Edward, Starry had done so much for Edward even though the two of them were not related by blood. He felt strange, let alone the onlookers.

"This time, it's I who got Mr. Newman into trouble."

Declan chuckled, "This is also free publicity for Archangel Pictures and Edward. No big deal."

As long as the relationship between him and Starry was clarified, it would have no effect on Edward.

Starry thanked him with a smile and then hung up the phone.

Declan immediately sent someone to make a statement on Twitter. Soon, the statement of Archangel Pictures appeared on the Internet.

The statement was simple and clear. It directly threw out a screenshot of shareholders' structure, and added, "Our Ms. Bradley is low-key."

The news that Starry was the major shareholder of Archangel Pictures instantly became a hot topic on the Internet. It could be found that the shareholders of Archangel Pictures were made up of six shareholders. Declan and Starry owned 60% of shares.

Declan was the founder of Archangel Pictures, holding more than 40% of the shares. Four years ago, Starry bought more than 15% of the shares from one of the shareholders with 18.5 million dollars, and then bought 15% of the shares from Declan three years ago.

Now, Declan only held 25% of shares, while Starry held thirty percent shares.

Three years ago, Starry had already been the biggest shareholder of Archangel Pictures. Did she really need to sleep with Declan to earn more benefits for Edward?

As soon as this fact was disclosed, most of the public opinions had reversed.

"I was a bit late. I've just found out the shareholder list of Archangel Pictures, but I didn't expect that the company would clarify first. Alas, I've missed a good opportunity to make a hit!"

"That's interesting. Ms. Bradley is the major shareholder of Archangel Pictures at present. I guess supporting Edward is just a piece of cake for her?"

"The twist appears quickly. Didn't the person who disclosed the news check the shareholder structure of Archangel Pictures first?"

"Maybe the person who disclosed the news didn't expect that Ms. Bradley is actually a big shot."

In just two hours, there appeared a big twist.

Of course, there were also some fans of Josh Clarke who didn't want to give up and kept dwelling on the relationship between Starry and Edward.

"Am I the only one who agree that Starry Bradley has already cuckolded her husband by being so unusually supportive of the superstar Edward?"

"The relationship between Ms. Bradley and Mr. Newman is clear. But what about her relationship with Edward? That's still a mystery!"

"I don't think it makes sense. Mr. Pearson has definitely been a cuckold."

Amidst these questions, Edward also made a statement Twitter, "Starry has always been my guide and my big sister. Thank you for your help six years ago."
