"What?" Kelly was stunned for a moment on the other end of the phone. "Nicole, you-I don't know what to say to you. Why don't you find a more secluded room to discuss business? Don't you know that a team of paparazzi has been following you every day for the past two months?"

"What's the point of saying this now?" Su Lingxi rubbed his temple uncomfortably, the hangover symptoms starting to show. "Leave the lesson to me later, okay? The most important thing is to take remedial measures. This matter is not something that cannot be explained. Can this groundless rumor really stump you?"

Of course, Kelly was not so frightened by these few photos that she was helpless - there was not even a single intimate action beyond the scope of friendship in the photos, so it would be easy to clarify.

But she got angry when she thought of the paparazzi buzzing around them like mosquitoes.

"Maybe this is the price of fame," she gritted her teeth, "hordes of paparazzi, countless candid photos, and almost no personal privacy... Fine, it's great."

"I will contact Columbia Pictures immediately. I think they will be willing to cooperate with us to clarify the matter. As for the invitation from People, we may have to make time to do an interview now."

It took Kelly less than a minute to make her decision.

"Don't forget to contact the paparazzi you're familiar with. Since they took so many photos, why not just release them all at once?" Su Lingxi added, with a cold look in her eyes. "They really put a lot of effort into releasing information but pretended to only release a few photos."

She didn't know yet who was trying to mess with her behind her back, but today's trick was really disgusting.

It would have been fine if he just made up a far-fetched scandal, but he actually wanted to use this opportunity to throw the dirty water of interfering in other people's feelings on her.

The method is not very sophisticated, but the effect is very significant.

In this kind of situation, as long as she can't produce strong evidence, people won't believe her verbal denial, no matter whether it's sincere or not.

Even with repeated clarifications, there are still people who have doubts about this.

Once you put on the hat of a third party, it is difficult to take it off completely.

This is a heavy blow to a movie star's popularity among the public.

It seems that the person who wants to harm her this time is a cruel and ruthless guy.

Su Lingxi didn't have time to guess who this person was. She quickly edited the Weibo and Instagram posts and clicked send, then immediately called Kevin.

If Columbia's public relations department could be persuaded to come forward in person, the clarification of this matter would be much greater and more effective than it is now.

After all, Columbia is a famous large-scale Hollywood studio with a very high reputation all over the world.

This is something Hengsheng Pictures cannot compare to.

The call was dialed, but the other end did not pick up immediately.

Su Lingxi felt a little guilty, but more worried.

She had promised solemnly before that she would help Columbia take down Li Shuo, but ended up messing up the matter completely. Even if Kevin answered the phone, he would not be in a good mood towards her - just like last night, every word was more hurtful than the last.

How could she convince him to do her this favor?

It is definitely impossible for her to pretend to be pitiful. Even if she is forced to quit the circle, Kevin will just stay out of it and may even make a few comments with gloating. After all, he has no empathy.

Think about it, is there anything she can offer him...

On the other side, Kevin was browsing the most retweeted article on Twitter before he received the call.

"Cheating girl? The third party in the relationship? Revealing the dirty side of Hollywood rising star Nicole Sue - is she a low-minded person, or is she a sacrifice for the sake of promotion? Will Joey Cox turn against Kevin Cowan?..."

Although the timeline of the article is very vague, the wording is very sharp and several adjectives made him frown. The only redeeming feature is probably that the narrative is relatively organized.

Kevin looked with disdain at those netizens who were rushing to leave comments with such certainty, and felt that it was absurd and ridiculous.

This group of people probably haven't even met that person a few times, but they can't wait to conclude that she is a fickle woman.

To be honest, she is more like a person with frigidity.

It was useless for Joey to chase after her all day. What else could he be but frigid? Was there anything else that made Joey unworthy of her?

In Kevin's eyes, Nicole Su is an ungrateful but ambitious woman.

He admired her somewhat, but that didn't stop him from being on guard against her at all times.

However, when I see others accusing her of those false charges, I can't help but feel a little unfair.

Of course, what he hated even more were those useless paparazzi who dragged him into this mess.

The phone rang, Kevin rubbed his eyebrows impatiently and picked up the phone.

"Hey, Kevin, how are you?" Su Lingxi's voice on the other end of the phone was particularly enthusiastic. "I hope I didn't disturb your rare leisure time."

"Thanks to you, my vacation is completely messed up." Kevin said coldly, "You brought me two bombshells in a row. Is this the 'surprise' you gave to your partners?"

Kevin's reaction to this matter was better than Su Lingxi expected - at least he was not so angry as to directly refuse to answer the phone.

"Calm down, relax, this is just a small episode of misunderstanding." Su Lingxi softened her voice and decided to smooth things over. "There are no shocking scenes, and there are no unclear situations. We just need to issue a simple clarification statement, and the trouble will be solved."

She deliberately downplayed the situation, but her mood was not as relaxed as she appeared.

Kevin doesn't like any activities that show him up in public, and he doesn't like people commenting on his private life - even during his four-year relationship with his ex-girlfriend Nadine Adenow, there were only a few photos of them leaked online.

But something went wrong when I arrived at her birthday party.

Su Lingxi sincerely hoped that he would not transfer his anger towards the paparazzi towards herself.

However, after she said this, there was silence on the other side for about half a century.

Kevin spoke again only after Su Lingxi had begun to consider whether to ask Joey for help in a "roundabout way".

"Okay, I'll ask the people in the Public Affairs Department to help you clarify this."
