Elena kept her head down, feeling distressed.
When her name was called suddenly by Chase, she instinctively raised her head.
Everyone looked at Chase blankly
The scandal between Elena and Chase was all over the Internet.
She got a pretty bad reputation in the public.
Elena's name represented a great deal of the company's reputation.
Did Chase actually say that he would do right by her? Was he going to restore her reputation?
As Chase snapped his fingers, the LED screen behind everyone lit up.
A photo appeared again.
The photo was a picture of Chase and Elena hugging together.
It was also the cause of Elena's notoriety.
Elena flushed when she saw the photo.
She cursed Chase in her heart.
He was deliberately humiliating her by bringing up this photo, wasn't he?
Chase then said casually. "Let's start here. Next one please."
A video appeared on the screen.
Elena's eyes widened in shock looking at the video!
She actually stood up and looked at Chase in disbelief!
There was an uproar in the room!
The video was depicting how Chase hugged Elena at another angle!
Lucas looked at Linda sternly.
Linda quickly waved her hand, indicating that she did not make the video.
After watching the video, everyone was left in a daze.
Chase and Elena hugged each other in the video.
However, it could be clearly seen from the video that there was a gap between the two and their shoulders barely touched.
It seemed like a quick and polite hug.
What was more unbelievable was that their hugs lasted only for seconds. In the video, Chase was seen moving away from Elena before he said, "Best wishes to us working together.
Working together?
Everyone recalled that when Chase held a meeting for the first time, everyone suggested that Elena should be the lead actress but Chase stopped it.
The video showed that the hug between Chase and Elena was only meant for the film cooperation!
The truth!
It was the truth!
Elena didn't have a fling with Chase!
The video alone could clear rumors and bad name for Elena!
Elena's eyes welled up instantly!
Justice!
Someone finally did right by her!
She remained silent God knew how aggrieved she felt at this moment!
Now that the truth had been exposed, she couldn't help but shed a tear of happiness.
Olivia sighed as she looked at the emotional Elena.
"Elena, little do you know that you are still fooled by Chase...
The video looked like it was shot from his office.
The hug must have been one of his plots.
Olivia felt sorry for Elena.
She didn't know why this b"stard was so heartless!
How could he let a beautiful woman bear such a humiliation!
What a merciless b*stard!
"Someone is deliberately trying to slander Elena based on the photo alone, Chase stated.
Everyone looked at Linda.
Linda felt goosebumps all over her body.
With the video, her photo became a piece of evidence against her purposeful slander!
Chase's statement clearly meant that Linda should be accountable for all the slanders brought onto Lunanica Media!
Linda immediately knelt and shouted hysterically at Elena. "Sister Koo, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. I am just a stupid b*tch! Your name should not be smeared!"
Elena glanced at Linda with tears in her eyes and ignored her.
There was only Chase in Elena's eyes at that moment.
The man who brought her a lot of suffering managed to pull her up again so she could stand strong.
Was he a devil or an angel?
Elena felt that her heart had been pried open.
Chase was a man who walked through the cracks and into her life, brimming with brio.
Lucas glared at Linda fiercely and he was about to swear!
He did not expect that Chase would make such an astonishing fightback!
Good heavens, Chase!
It turned out that Chase had planted this trap long ago, just waiting for them to jump right in!
But...
Having cleared Elena's name should not be enough for Chase to make up for the damages he brought onto the company!
"Elena indeed seemed to have been wronged this time. It is of course best if we prove her innocence. However, the video. alone is not enough to salvage the image of our entire company, Lucas spoke.
Chase nodded. "Well, Mr. Zhang, you always consider things thoroughly. Don't worry, there will be more later."
Chase snapped his fingers again before another video appeared on the screen.
It was a three-minute clip from the movie.
Watching the clips, Elena started to tear up.
Olivia looked at Elena next to her, feeling heartbroken. She hugged Elena and gently patted her on the shoulder. "It's alright, don't cry. You'll have to learn to see his true colors. He is but a heartless man. Don't get fooled by his tricks.
Everyone watched the video and fell into silence.
The clip showed some details of Elena's shooting.
It demonstrated how hardworking Elenia was.
She carefully memorized the lines, marked the script with highlighters and made a lot of notes.
She practiced multiple times on how her tone and body language should be in different scenes.
Every detail amplified Elena's earnestness and hard work as an actress, While watching the second half of the video, the people gaped; the hostility in their eyes had already vanished.
Instead, it was replaced with sympathy...
For Elena.
In the second half of the video, Elena was humiliated by the ten actors. She endured silently in her tears and continued to concentrate on shooting.
Elena didn't complain about being tired.
She was focused, hardworking, and persistent. She looked so piteous...
There was only one thought in everyone's mind.
In the movie, only Elena could be regarded as a qualified actress!
She was the only star in the whole movie!
Such a beautiful and hardworking actress should not be vilified.
Everyone who scolded her owed her an apology!
The video reminded Elena again about all the hardship she had endured during that period.
She thought that she was the only one who could understand and bear this kind of unforgettable suffering.
What made her cry was that all of these were secretly recorded by someone under the order of Chase.
Chase knew all her suffering.
"Chase, I have endured a lot of slanders and hardship.
Elena looked at Chase, and pleaded silently.
"Hence, please keep your promise!"
She clasped her hands together as she screamed inwardly. "You have to make sure I can make a glorious comeback! For ! deserve that!
