He agreed so readily that Su Lingxi felt puzzled, but she was not stupid enough to ask him questions at this time. She responded with a few irrelevant questions, thought for a while, and dialed Kelly's number again.

"Kevin agreed. Columbia will clarify the matter in coordination with us later." As soon as the call was connected, Su Lingxi said, "Remember to do a good job of docking and don't make any mistakes at the critical moment."

"That's great." Kelly was obviously relieved after hearing this answer. "This is the first good news I've heard since I opened my eyes today. Thank God, we should be thankful that Kevin Cowan is not a guy who has completely lost his humanity."

Su Lingxi hummed, "Maybe he just happens to be in a good mood today."

It was actually a bit strange. After just one night, Kevin suddenly seemed to become very easy to talk to.

But she had no intention of pursuing the matter further now.

"To be honest, I don't think it's a coincidence that such a rumor broke out in the fourth week of the release of Freedom Road." Talking about this, her tone became more serious. "If it was only the paparazzi, the rumor wouldn't have fermented so quickly."

What's more, she has only been established in Hollywood for a short time and has no chance of offending the paparazzi.

According to common sense, there must be a mastermind behind them who is fanning the flames.

"Yes, the popularity of Freedom Road is shocking. Now there are probably many people in Hollywood who regard you as a thorn in their side." Kelly paused and made a bold guess, "But I think this matter is probably closely related to CAA - remember Robert Bob? He wanted to recruit you, but you rejected him harshly, which made him lose face. I'm sure he won't hold a grudge against you."

"Not necessarily. Bob doesn't look like such a reckless person." Su Lingxi said calmly, "I have met him several times. To some extent, his style of doing things is somewhat similar to Kevin's."

Be calm, at ease, and always put interests first.

She dared to conclude that Robert Bob was not thinking about how to defeat her at this moment, but how to make her make money for him. After the first week box office of "Freedom Road" came out, he invited her no less than three times, either to private parties or high-end dinners, but she used the excuse of being busy during the promotion period and only chose to go once.

Even if Bob really wanted to deal with her, he wouldn't use such an unconventional trick.

He just needs to use his resources to lift Anita Brown up to a high level, high enough to crush all the 20th-generation actresses including her.

Using gossip as a weapon of attack is not like his style.

"Well, I don't know this agent that well." Kelly said doubtfully, "But I have contacted the photographer of the photo. As long as we pay him a little money, he will be happy to tell us who is behind it."

Su Lingxi thought about it and agreed to the proposal. "Then I'll leave this matter to you. We only need to know the name of the mastermind behind the scenes, and nothing else is necessary."

Paparazzi always like to deal with different celebrity teams and sell all kinds of black material. This method of sowing discord is their trick to expand their financial resources, but Su Lingxi is not interested in starting a scandal war at this time.

The most important thing for her now is to ensure that this scandal does not ruin her personal image.

Whether to seek revenge or not, and how to seek revenge, these are things that can only be discussed later.

She seems to be a popular movie star in the United States now, but in fact it is just a castle in the air and she has not been able to secure her position as an A-lister at all.

No step can be taken lightly.

On the evening of August 8, Columbia Pictures issued a statement claiming that it would take legal action against malicious rumormongers.

At 8 p.m. on August 29, Su Lingxi made her first public appearance after the scandal and appeared at the Imperial Capital International Airport.

After returning to China after several months, as soon as Su Lingxi appeared, she was surrounded by a group of paparazzi who were eager to get gossip.

She had anticipated this situation a long time ago. She wore a waist-hugging suit and fishtail skirt, had medium-length curly hair, walked gracefully, and had an elegant and beautiful smile.

"Su Lingxi, is the foreign man in the photo really just a work partner of yours?"

"Of course, it's clearly stated in the company statement."

"How do you explain the rumors that you accepted unspoken rules in order to get promoted?"

"It's just nonsense."

"Some people think that your affair with the head of Columbia's production department was not groundless, but had to be turned into a secret relationship. What do you want to say about this?"

"Sorry, no comment."

"Miss Su..."

A group of paparazzi with video cameras chased her for a long distance, throwing questions at her one after another, with all kinds of flash lights flashing non-stop, but Su Lingxi's answer was always just four words: "No comment."

The journey that could be completed in just three minutes took them almost ten minutes to complete. She didn't show it on her face, but she was actually feeling impatient inside.

Because of this group of people's interference, the fans who came to the airport to pick her up were squeezed more than ten meters away.

Before getting on the car, Su Lingxi stood still, calmly took off his sunglasses, and looked around.

"The innocent are innocent. The clarification and statement written in black and white are in front of everyone. If you still insist that there is something else going on, then please feel free to do so. I don't think I have any obligation to cooperate with you."

Her voice rang out with great force. The paparazzi were stunned at first, but after they reacted, they began to press the shutter buttons frantically.

Su Lingxi was too lazy to care about them anymore. She took the letter handed to her by the fans with a smile, then got into the super luxurious nanny car and drove away.

The scene at the airport quickly spread across the Internet. All major entertainment media wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of Su Lingxi's popularity, and the headlines of the reports were more exaggerated than the last.

"Breaking news! Top actress Su Lingxi appeared at the capital's airport in all black and publicly criticized the paparazzi!"

"The international film queen proudly claims that she has no obligation to be responsible to the audience. Is this a distortion of human nature or a loss of morality? Click to find out!"

"Shocking, Su Lingxi's transnational love affair seems to be true, she quarreled with paparazzi to protect her boyfriend, and counted those "love-brained" actresses in the entertainment industry. "

"After returning to the capital after several months, the top actress in the circle, Su Lingxi, was in a bad mood throughout the whole process. Did she choose to turn her back on him? Don't forget the way you came, don't let down your youthful heart, and ungrateful behavior is really not advisable! "

Even though they knew that these articles were clickbait titles, netizens could not control their curiosity. They clicked on them and found that the video content and the title were completely unrelated.

Su Lingxi was scolding the paparazzi instead of the audience, and she didn't have a grudge, but her tone was a little harsh.

There were even many people who became her casual fans after she reached out to receive letters from fans - in their opinion, Su Lingxi has now become a well-known movie star, but she still remembers the hearts of her fans. In any case, she is much better than those traffic stars who start to act like big shots when they are only half famous!
