Chapter 779 Stepping on Her to do Marketing
The next day.
Eliza went to film early in the morning.
When she was halfway through the shoot, Xander hurried over with an extremely anxious expression.
After Eliza confirmed everything, she came back to rest for a short while. When she saw his appearance, she asked, "What's wrong?"
Xander returned her mobile phone to her and said, "Just now, Mr. Benton called several times."
Eliza paused. "Julian?"
Xander nodded.
Eliza immediately looked at her phone and asked, "What did he want from me?"
"Did something happen to Graciana?"
Xander was a little hesitant and said to Eliza, "You can call him yourself."
Eliza silently called back, and after a long while, the phone was picked up.
Julian's cold voice rang out. "Did you post those press releases online?"
Eliza asked, "What are you talking about?"
"Graciana is injured. Why are you still using her to do marketing?"
"What are you talking about? I don't understand at all."
"You don't understand? Eliza, I didn't expect you to be so good at pretending."
"No, I've been filming here all the time. I didn't post anything at all. Did you misunderstand something?"
"Misunderstand? It was posted by the official account of Star-Moon Media. Don't say that it was posted without your permission."
Eliza was simply baffled. She quickly waved her hand and asked Xander, "What did the official account of Star-Moon Media post today?"
Xander's expression was ugly as he showed it to Eliza.
Eliza glanced through.
Star-Moon Media V: #There is a different kind of friendship between Eliza and Graciana.# Thank you for your company all the way to this day. Now that Graciana is being rescued in the hospital because of a car accident, I hope everyone can pray for her together." Link to the video.
When Eliza finished reading this post, her face suddenly turned pale.
"Who posted this?" Eliza asked Xander.
Xander shook his head repeatedly. "We don't know either."
"Where's Lyric? Call her immediately!"
On the other end of the line, Julian laughed coldly. "There's no need to pretend. Eliza, you're really a good friend of hers! You're good at creating trouble!"
"No, I didn't..."
"Don't come to see her until she is completely healed!"
"Julian, I..."
"Click."
The phone was mercilessly hung up. Eliza clenched her fists and felt extremely bitter in her heart.
She thought for a moment and clicked on the video.
There were different scenes of Graciana and her in the video. Graciana stood in front of the reporters to protect her. The two of them went shopping together and were secretly photographed, and some people splashed things on Graciana, making her furious.
There was also a scene of Graciana speaking up for her on the social media.
And... Graciana was suddenly hit on the road, and she was sent to the ambulance with blood all over her body.
This was the first time that Eliza had seen this fragment.
It turned out that Graciana's injury was so serious, and the situation at that time was so dangerous.
Anyone who saw it would feel their hearts tighten.
She clicked on the comments. The following comments were all blessings from Eliza's fans, as well as praises for Graciana.
She continued to scroll down and saw a few comments with a hint of sarcasm.
[In this case, it seems that Graciana really protects Eliza, but Eliza doesn't seem to care so much about Graciana.]
[Graciana is really brave, but I'm not sure about Eliza.]
[I heard that Eliza has never gone to the hospital to visit Graciana when Graciana is hospitalized. This is how your idol acts.]
[Eliza is really the winner of life. She has money and power. It's strange that she will pay attention to Graciana.]
[By the way, there's a reason for Eliza to ignore Graciana. Do you know why she had a car accident? Because Graciana is not a good person either. Her mother is a mistress. Her father is a gambler. He must have done a lot of bad things! I heard that she was hit by an enemy who was seeking revenge.]
[Eliza, who cares about friendship so much, didn't go to the hospital once. It's self-evident.]
[Eliza, are you stupid? You are still praying for her. I don't know how many benefits she has gained from using you and how she used you to get close to Mr. Benton.]
...
Some of these comments seemed to speak up for her, but in fact, they were trying to sow discord.
Some of them seemed to be standing on Graciana's side, but they were trying to poke her in the back.
There were even people who secretly guided the public opinion in order to expose Graciana's past.
Eliza's eyes were already red. She returned the phone to Xander and logged into her Instagram.
She hadn't posted for a long time.
She had always been protected by Graciana.
But now, it was time for her to stand up.
Eliza V: [Graciana is my best friend. She is a very good person, and I'm sorry for her. Those of you who are trying to drive a wedge between us are really malicious. I would like to tell those netizens who love to spread rumors that the Internet is not a place for you to do anything as you like, and those with evil deeds will be severely punished!]
After the post was posted, Lyric was also called over.
Seeing Eliza's expression, Lyric said, "That post has been deleted. I just got the news that it was posted by an intern of the company. She should have been bribed."
Eliza glanced at Lyric.
Lyric immediately raised her hand and said, "That intern was hired by Graciana herself. She is very optimistic about her. The password was also given by Graciana. She wants her to post when necessary."
But they didn't expect that this intern would post this to drive a wedge, giving some people a chance to take advantage of it.
Or perhaps, the intern hadn't been bribed. She was just unhappy with Eliza's attitude towards Graciana. She had purposely posted this on Instagram in an attempt to seek justice for Graciana.
Eliza knew very well that this matter couldn't be blamed on that intern.
Because the post she had posted and the scenes in the video were indeed all things that had happened. There were no bad comments, and she really did it for Graciana's sake.
The only thing that was not right might be the timing that she posted.
In normal times, it was not a big deal to market their friendship in this way.
It was posted in such a period when so many things had happened, and Graciana was still injured. However, the company took the lead in promoting the friendship between the two. It appeared to the outsiders that they were doing it by stepping on Graciana.
It was only normal for Julian to think like that.
Eliza said, "I'll post an apology statement with the official account."
However, Lyric shook her head and said, "No need. You have made it clear in your own account. If you post it again, you will be suspected of hype."
Eliza shook her head. "You don't understand."
If she did not apologize, the netizens might misunderstand her, thinking that she was unwilling to pray for Graciana, and that the relationship between them was not good.
Eliza insisted on posting it, and Lyric had no choice but to use her phone to log into the official account and let Eliza do it.
However, before she could finish typing, Lyric received a call.
The manager of the Public Relations Department said to Lyric, "Miss Lopez, something's wrong! The intern posted a resignation statement and a lot of videos on Instagram. It's related to Graciana and Mr. Benton!"
Lyric's heart thumped and she looked at Eliza.
