Chapter 656 - Lilia’s Studio!
Chapter 656 - Lilia’s Studio!
Lilia and William hadn't been together for a long time, they had only been dating for a few months, and they weren't close enough to talk about personal life.
Hearing this, Harold felt embarrassed. "Now, the news on the Internet is mixed, and most of your fans do not believe that you have any relationship with Robert. But people keep showing your pictures going in and out of the Pangestu family's house. There are even pictures of you bringing food into the house."
"People would think that it would be impossible for you to not have any relationship with them since those pictures existed. Do you remember when someone slandered you on the Internet? They said your family was poor, relying on funders and many others. But no one could find any details or evidence at that time, so it wasn't as worrying! However, your photos are exposed now, so this is very strange!" He added, frowning.
"And one more. These photos couldn't have gone out of their own ways to the paparazzi. Someone close to you must have given it to them!"
Joe also chimed in. "It's true, I also feel like it was planned beforehand. The paparazzi didn't take photos of you in the early years. It doesn't make sense to have those pictures after this news broke! And when I saw the photos, they should be at least one year old. It can't be the newest!"
Lilia started to think about this.
It seems that the perpetrator being her acquaintance is very likely.
Joe and Harold looked at her as she fell silent, both waiting for her opinion.
Lilia then slowly spread her brows, her index finger gently scrolling the page on the screen. "What do you think their goal is?"
"Of course to slander you! There's definitely no other reason." Joe said with swearing.
Harold nodded in agreement. "That's right. They try to bring down your reputation since you're still 'clean' until now. This news is enough to make people believe that you're an unfilial child. But you shouldn't direct your anger towards them, they're just sheeps following the mainstream narrative. You need to go after the person who started all this!"
Lilia smiled and met Harold's gaze, she answered, "Well, that makes sense!"
Robert is indeed the name of her adoptive father.
Whoever spread this news wanted her to be criticized by the public so badly.
In this way, her reputation will be ruined. Not to mention that it happened during the same time as the release of "The Chosen Kingdom" movie where her acting skills were highly praised.
Lilia sighed and rubbed her brows, but the conversation changed. "Have you brought Joe to my studio?"
"No, if you want to go, we can go together for a while. Anyway, it's very close to the office building next door!"
Harold didn't know what the woman planned inside her pretty head. He thought about it and asked, "If you want to know about your adoptive father, I can send someone to the hospital to visit him on your behalf. By the way, no one will know that you have returned to Indonesia. A statement issued by Joe a few days ago said that you were currently outside of the country. This excuse can be used."
"No need!" Lilia refused without hesitation. "Now everything is just getting started, and the dice has been laid out. We don't need to rush."
Harold. "?"
He looked at Lilia with a confused face. "It's too late when it actually comes."
"Not too late!" Compared to Harold's insistence, Lilia seemed calmer. "Just trust me, even if you respond to this matter now, a new one has been waiting for me. Therefore, it's better to wait for them to drop all the cards, and when that happens, we just have to pull the net."
Joe watched their conversation and raised his hand to intervene. "Are you sure? Have you guessed who did this?"
Lilia shook her head innocently. "I don't know who it is, but the pictures of me going in and out of the house were clearly trying to lure me out. Still, I'm sure there is a trump card on the back!"
As for when this card will be issued, it depends on whether her opponent can be patient or not.
And they probably know that in their mind.
At this moment, Harold and Joe looked at each other, and they clearly noticed that Lilia looked confident.
Joe then asked a question. "If, I mean, even if the other party ends up releasing the trump card according to what you said, then how will this all end? It's true that he is your adoptive father, and he is being treated in the hospital, and you also don't seem to care about him or his family… it's all true!"
Harold's face darkened.
He knew a little about what Lilia's parents had been doing to her.
Ignoring them would still be considered friendly!
Hearing this, Lilia stretched out her hand and raised her eyebrows mysteriously. "Who said I do not care anymore?"
Joe was baffled, he felt that his IQ had been dropping lately.
Sure enough, places like Aphrodite will make people retreat!
It's best for him to go!
Harold no longer questioned Lilia's words, and since she is calm, it's all up to her.
...
Twenty minutes later, three men went to Gaia Entertainment and walked into the office building across the street on foot.
Harold's office was located on the 17th floor, and as the lift was open, the Lilia's Studio logo was right in front. The office was not large, about 400 square meters.
Harold then explained. "Since this is a new company, I didn't choose an office that was too big. However, I have inquired about the property. Currently, there are only two companies on the 17th floor, and the remaining half of the floor is empty. If you feel that this office is not enough, we can find another place to rent at any time. It's not a problem."
Lilia walked around the area and nodded in satisfaction. "Very good, you can manage everything, I don't mind. By the way, is the business license finished?"
"It's done and the taxation process is underway."
Lilia walked into the two most adjoining offices. She looked at Joe and said with a smile, "Which one do you like?"
Joe was rude for pointing straight to the room with a high window ceiling.
"Then just pick this office, the Vice President!"
"What?"
Even Harold looked at Lilia inadvertently, waiting for her next words.
At that time, Lilia pushed open the entrance, walked slowly to the window and looked outside. "You occupied a director-level position at Aphrodite before. If you continue with me, I won't let you step down. Apart from that, Harold is also in charge of my work at Gaia, so you may need to run this studio most of the time. Giving you the position of vice president is not just a joke either. First, you are competent. Second, when we compete with Aphrodite for future resources, this title can at least give you enough rights to speak!"
Joe stared at Lilia's back in amazement, his heartbeat instantly became irregular.
He was thirty-eight years old. He had become the head public relations department at the Aphrodite for many years. In this part of his career, he always thought that he had been killed.
Unexpectedly, when he entered middle age, he reached the turning point of his career.
This kind of thing was almost like something that came from the sky.
Even though he had sufficient abilities to gain a lot of support in the industry, after he parted ways with Aphrodite, he encountered some obstacles in his career.
Therefore, when Harold asked him to resign, he was also very worried.
At this moment, Joe felt that he was very lucky.
Sometimes, even though he felt like he had reached a dead end, a new path actually existed in this life.
