Chapter 680 Are You Protecting Her?
The argument just now was so loud that many people had heard it.
After listening to the whole conversation, the staff cast a cold look at Micah.
However, when they noticed Haya, there was only sympathy left in everyone's eyes.
She was so unlucky to have such a bad agent!
Haya was trembling all over. She wasn't in a hurry to plead for mercy. Instead, she turned to Micah and pleaded with him, "Micah, is it you who blackmailed Miss Lawson online?"
In fact, Micah was already scared out of his wits. It was fine that his own artist had been kicked out, he would find another way out for her. But if other artists in the company also lost this opportunity, he would be doomed!
The company would definitely pursue this matter!
He would definitely pay the price for this. It was very likely that he would lose his job!
However, even though he was afraid, in the face of Haya's doubt, he still felt extremely angry.
Immediately, he slapped her in the face.
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's fine if others misunderstand me, but you're my artist, and you're also helping outsiders bully me?!"
His voice was very loud, as if he was trying to cover up his guilt.
The others were all stunned. It was the first time they had seen a manager hit their own artist. This was too arrogant!
Even Hudson's eyes were full of pity.
He was annoyed with Micah, but Haya had been working hard to shoot the film and had not made any trouble. He was Hudson's favorite actor.
Seeing that she had been treated like this, his anger flared up.
He took a step forward, pulled Haya behind him, and glared at Micah.
"If you have something to say, let's talk about it properly. Why did you have to hit others? Are you still a man?"
Micah didn't say anything. He couldn't get out of the awkward situation now, so he thought that he should at least help Haya.
Rolling his eyes, he simply continued putting on a show. "She is my artist. What I do has nothing to do with you. Since the contract has been torn, she is not a member of your crew now. I will take her away. Please remember to pay the penalty!"
As he spoke, he was about to grab her.
Haya shrank back a little with an ugly expression on her face.
Her hair was covering her eyes, and no one could see her emotions.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded next to them.
"Who said that you can't work together if the contract is torn?"
The crowd looked in the direction of the person who spoke and then froze in place.
Why did Mr. Valentine speak up for Haya?
Everyone couldn't help but look in Eliza's direction.
As a result, they saw another Mr. Valentine over there.
They were all stunned.
"Who is that?"
"He looks like Mr. Valentine! Are they twins?"
"Why haven't I heard that Mr. Valentine has twin brothers before?"
"They look so much like each other! Their momentum is also similar. If they stand together, I can't even recognize who they are!"
"Wait, Beau has a wife, but this one..."
"Could it be Haya's...?"
Everyone in the crew whispered. When they saw Chester stand out and speak for Haya, they all guessed that there was something going on between the two of them. When their eyes fell on Haya, they became a little jealous.
The corners of Haya's lips curled up secretly. Just now, she purposely let her agent slap her in order to make someone fall into her trap.
She had originally wanted to see if Eliza and the others would be softhearted, but she hadn't thought that she would actually catch such a "big fish"!
Chester used to always turn her down.
She put away her pride and happiness and looked pitifully at Chester.
Chester glanced at her and sneered.
"Weren't you very fierce when you were arguing with me? You look really ugly with such an expression now."
Haya was speechless.
F*ck you!
This person's words were so vicious that Haya wasn't even sure if he was here to help her.
Seeing that Haya was speechless, Chester laughed and looked at Hudson. "Mr. Jones, Micah is right. You're in a hurry to drive Haya away before finding out the truth. I'm afraid that you'll lose face in the future, won't you?"
Hudson hesitated for a moment.
He couldn't help but look back at Beau, wanting him to make a decision.
As soon as he showed some momentum, Chester came out to plead for mercy. What should he do?
When Beau saw Chester, he frowned slightly.
After a while, he loosened his grip and walked in Chester's direction.
"Brother, do you know her?"
Although it was a question, his tone was extremely firm.
Chester turned his head and glanced at Beau, his eyes flashing slightly.
He thought of what Eliza had said and some other emotions rose in his heart for no reason.
There was guilt, unwillingness, and more jealousy.
He admitted that he was not a good person at all. He envied his excellent brother so much as he could win all the other people's love and admiration so easily.
Her emotions were surging, but it was not the time to fall out with each other.
With a faint "hmm", he replied, "She's my neighbor."
Beau frowned slightly and glanced at Haya.
In the past, he hadn't paid much attention to Haya, but now he felt that this person was very scheming.
Was it really so coincidental that she became Chester's neighbor?
"Are you protecting her?"
"Beau, even if this is really done by Micah, it has nothing to do with her. As an elder brother, I have never asked you to do anything. Just for my sake, let me return a favor to her and don't blame her, okay?"
Chester's tone suddenly became humble.
In the face of his younger brother, he even lowered his voice.
The rest of the crew listened to the conversation of the two brothers, and their expressions were a little strange.
Beau frowned. "I'm not the one who have a say on this as I'm not the one who will punish her."
Chester smiled meaningfully and turned his eyes to Hudson.
Being stared at by the two brothers, Hudson couldn't help but feel his scalp go numb.
"This..."
"Mr. Jones, you're not the director who will vent his anger on innocent people, are you? Besides, she has a good reputation recently. If others know that you treat her like this, and even if Micah is at fault, will it cause public anger?"
This was also a fact.
Haya first saved people, and then she performed well in the crew. Most of the public thought highly of her.
If Hudson kicked her out of the crew regardless of the consequences, the crew would have to bear the consequences, which would not benefit them at all.
Hudson's expression became more and more tangled.
Chester's eloquence and ability were not bad. With just a few words, he turned the situation around.
"Why don't we... discuss this?"
Chester smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Jones. I will definitely find out the truth about my sister-in-law's defamation. When I have evidence, it won't be too late for you to vent your anger again. The most important thing now is to clarify it in case of public misunderstanding."
"Beau, what do you think?"
Beau's eyes flashed, and a moment later, he laughed out loud.
"You're right, big brother."
It was settled.
Chester took the initiative to take over the task of finding out the truth. After persuading Mr. Jones, he took Micah away. The filming site became calm again. Haya thanked the director and other people with red eyes.
Eliza walked silently to Beau's side and didn't say anything.
