Chapter 199 A Promotional Event
“Forget it, it’s just a promotional event. Don’t take it too hard, but you should be more careful and not make any more mistakes when you’re with the crew two days later.”
“I won’t.”
Soon, it was time for Amelie to make her appearance. Just as she was about to take the stage, a woman walked over.
Amelie took a closer look and found that it was Cynthia.
She was shocked. The promotion event had nothing to do with Cynthia. What was she doing here in the venue?
The director was calling out to Amelie from the front stage, and she hurried onto the stage without time to think about it.
To her surprise, Manuel also shouted Cynthia’s name.
Only then did Amelie realize that Cynthia was also starring in the TV drama, and her role was quite important.
So, this was the reason why the press conference was suddenly held today.
At the press conference, the director grandly introduced himself and Cynthia. In the face of numerous cameras and flashing lights, Amelie had no choice but to keep calm and smile.
At first, she was upset as she didn’t expect Cynthia to be in this drama. Then she straightened her thinking.
She was the female leader anyway and did not have to mind Cynthia.
When the press conference was over, the reporters gathered around, asking about the TV drama.
Amelie answered patiently, promising that she would bring out her best.
Although no one made things difficult for her, she knew that the negative influence would not disappear on its own.
Just as she thought the press conference would end perfectly, a reporter suddenly appeared.
He rushed straight over and directed the microphone at her.
“Ms. Mullen, after the Mullen family went broke, you steadily entered the entertainment industry. Did the burden of the family fall on you? What are your career plans? Can you tell us about it?”
Sure enough, these people would not let her go so easily.
Amelie’s face changed slightly, but she maintained her smile.
In front of so many cameras, she had to stay calm even if she was sick of such questions.
She didn’t rush to answer, but Cynthia spoke.
“Your question is a bit harsh. Although the Mullen family went broke, Ms. Mullen’s work is not affected at all. She’s capable, and you’re being paranoid. Do you think that Ms. Mullen relied on her family to rise?”
Cynthia said that on purpose.
Not stupid, Amelie knew that Cynthia was deliberately embarrassing her. On the surface, Cynthia was speaking up for her. In fact, she was creating a stunt for herself.
Amelie fought back her annoyance and smiled without saying anything.
But the reporter had no intention of letting her go. He continued to ask her about her previous marriage. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
“Ms. Mullen, I have long heard that you have an inextricable relationship with Mr. Byron of Prosperity Global. There are also rumors that you and he are husband and wife, I wonder if these are true?”
As soon as this matter was mentioned, Amelie changed colors.
She could put up with all things but this.
If these entertainment reporters turned black into white as they liked, how could she advance in the entertainment industry?
At that, she directly picked up the microphone, looked at the expectant people in front of her, and spoke seriously.
“I know that everyone is very concerned about my private life, but it’s personal and has nothing to do with my work. The Mullen family went broke, but as their youngest daughter, I’m obliged to shoulder the burden. I’ll work hard and do my best to get more resources. If anyone doubts it, he can watch my work. This play will hit the screen at the end of the year. If you’re dissatisfied with it, you’re welcome to bring it up, and I’ll work harder. However, when it comes to my private life, I’d rather not answer since you have no right to ask me these questions.”
Amelie said domineeringly, directly drawing the line.
She knew that these reporters would not let her go but would say harsh things.
Sure enough, as soon as her voice died away, the reporter who had just asked the question changed color, and he pressed.
“Ms. Mullen, is this because it’s a dirty secret that you refuse to answer? Is the fall of your family related to you?”
The reporter asked questions one after another. Amelie looked over and stared at him fiercely.
Daunted by her look, the reporter paused but braced himself to go further.
Just then, Manuel hurried over upon noticing the situation and happened upon such a scene.
As the director, he naturally stepped in and shielded Amelie.
“Alright, guys. Ask me if you have more questions. Amelie and Cynthia have other work to do, and this is it for the press
conference.”
Manuel’s appearance disrupted the reporters‘ plans. They had to give up pursuing the matter.
Amelie then left the venue under the guidance of Belen.
Back in the lounge, Belen was fuming.
From backstage, she had seen Amelie bombarded by the reporters. It vexed her that there was nothing she could do.
She looked over, saw Amelie’s calm look, and came up.
“Amelie, those people were deliberately fanning the flame.”
“It’s okay. Such things won’t trouble me.”
Belen was no longer worried.
After they packed up, Amelie was about to open the door and leave when Cynthia came in.
Still in the same clothes, the woman looked at her smugly.
“Ms. Mullen, where are you going? Ready to get off work?”
“I’m impressed that you got an important role in the play, and it’s an honor for me to work with you.”
Amelie said happily, but her words were sarcastic to Cynthia’s ears.
“Don’t get cocky. You’re the female lead, so what? It’s just a role, and both of us are in the play. You don’t know which one of us will go popular. ”
Cynthia looked proud and confident.
Amelie was doubtful but said nothing.
She knew that the woman in front of her was smart and would never give up easily, so she just smiled and prepared to leave.
