C96 She Was Filming an Advertisement for My Company's Diamond Ring.
Two days later.
At the University of Goulcrest.
"Anne, look, the filming crew is coming to our school. Tell me, which celebrity wants to shoot a movie or advertise?"
Anne, who was in the same dormitory as him, glanced at the camera lens and looked down at her phone, which had no notification. She frowned slightly.
What was going on? Why was there no news?
Was the phone out of battery?
She pressed the key to the phone and the phone lit up in the next second.
Not only that, but the signal was also very strong.
She opened a WeChat message and refreshed it. When she confirmed that her friend had not replied to her, her shoulders drooped down.
"Don't tell me you are waiting for the news about your family's Freddy again, Anne?"
"Don't talk nonsense, Freddy is not that kind of person." Anne rolled her eyes at the side of her body and turned her head to ignore her.
At this moment, the two of them bumped into Lydia, who limped over from the back.
The two of them had a little conflict with Lydia, so they stopped in their tracks.
"Pah! Pah! Pah! The air suddenly has such a strong stench. Anne, do you smell it?"
When Lydia and Estella brushed past each other, Estella glanced at her and pretended to be disgusted. "Lydia, do you smell it?"
Hearing this, Lydia stopped in her tracks. She tilted her head and looked at Estella.
Estella's heart skipped a beat as she moved closer to Anne. Because the leg that Lydia pulled yesterday was still hurting, she was still afraid.
"This stench seems to be even more like the smell of feces." Lydia was not angry but smiled with a face full of doubt. "Why did my classmate, Student Estella, not make you remember last night with a bottle of cold water? Today, you are starting to spit out tusks again. Hmm?"
Estella's face suddenly turned pale, "You...!!!"
"Am I wrong?" Lydia narrowed her eyes and smiled.
Although Estella wanted to ridicule Lydia, she did not expect that her words would be like hitting a piece of cotton.
On the other hand, she had been stabbed by a thorn in her heart by this woman, Lydia. Her fist was bleeding.
Lydia had already lost face in front of all the other students yesterday, and today, she was humiliated again.
In her anger, she raised her hand and slapped Lydia. She said, "Bastard! You, you..."
Suddenly, her hand was grabbed in mid-air by Lydia. Her face turned extremely ugly.
Estella tried to pull her hand back, but she could not move it even after trying for a long time.
In the next second, the strength that Lydia used to grab her wrist increased.
"If you dare to talk like that again, I don't mind helping you clean up!" Lydia snorted and pushed Estella away.
Although her tone was not very loud, it carried a sense of oppression.
Estella took two steps back until her body hit Josie, who was walking towards her from behind.
She was unconvinced, so she was about to pounce on her. However, she was stopped by Josie. "Xiao Nan, don't be rash. Let's talk things out."
Ever since the Tillyman family lost their backing, Josie had become closer to Su Nannan.
Normally, she would come to the school to look for Anne, so she naturally became friends with her roommates.
Estella snorted when she heard Josie’s advice, "I can’t be bothered to talk to a woman who only knows how to flirt and show off her beauty!"
"Xiao Nan, don't say that. I don't think Lydia is as embarrassed as the people on your school forum have described her." Josie retorted in a feigned displeasure.
At this moment, Lydia was looking at Josie with cold eyes, but she was secretly snorting coldly in her heart.
Heh!
Who was the person who had written such a horrible thing about her and purposely leaked pictures of her kissing with the author of the forum?
Was it not Josie who had orchestrated the terrible reputation of the University of Goulcrest?
"Josie, don't feel sorry for Lydia just because your parents did something wrong! She has already been exposed to be in three different ships, and the photos have been sent to the media. You still want to protect her because you feel sorry for her!" Anne rolled her eyes at Josie, feeling that it was not worth it.
"Nan Nan, I..." Josie bit her lips and looked troubled. "I really think that Lydia is not the kind of person who would step on three boats. I believe that sister will definitely give a reasonable explanation for the kissing and the man in the horse racing car."
"Lydia, right?" As she spoke, Josie directly threw the question to Lydia.
Lydia didn't say anything. She just stared at Josie, who was trying to act tough.
Heh, why didn't she realize that Josie was even prettier than Viola in her previous life?
The scandal involving Maria was obviously orchestrated by the Woodward family. Now that Josie was pretending to be innocent and weak, she instantly became a kind and good person.
How amazing!
Josie was really good at disguising herself and manipulating the public opinion, so that others would be willing to use her as a weapon.
"Heh, then let her explain it to us!" While Lydia was distracted, Anne sneered.
"Right, let Lydia explain to us whether her scandals are true or not!" Estella also echoed. Because she was the one who took the photo yesterday, she felt that she had seized Lydia's weakness and instantly became confident.
The conflict between the few people instantly attracted a lot of onlookers. When they heard that Lydia was going to explain the scandal, they immediately gathered around her.
In just a few seconds, a group of students had surrounded them.
Seeing that everyone had gathered, Josie sneaked a glance at Lydia, who was sitting opposite her. The corner of her mouth curled into a cunning smile, and her eyes were filled with anticipation.
Originally, she only wanted to make Lydia's reputation go down the drain and collect some interest. Who knew that someone would post a thread about her stepping on three ships?
This matter had shocked the school and even the school leaders. It was said that Lydia was about to be expelled.
When she thought about how Lydia had embarrassed herself, Josie suddenly felt a sense of relief.
Lydia had lost her limelight, so she could finally complain to Reece about it. Perhaps it would change the awkward situation between her and the Woodward family.
As Josie thought about it, she didn't realize that Lydia had been staring at her the whole time.
Lydia already knew what Josie was thinking.
Unfortunately, she wouldn't give Josie any chance to turn the tables.
She forced herself to look away from Josie and glanced around.
At this moment, everyone was staring at her, waiting for her to respond.
"Lydia, why don't you explain? What happened between you and Author?" Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Estella raised her eyebrows and asked.
"That's right, explain it!"
"Yeah, explain it!"
As soon as she took the lead, some of the little fans of the Author immediately started to question her. Their gazes were as if they wanted to cut her into a thousand pieces.
Lydia said calmly, "He and I were just filming the diamond ring advertisement. That photo was just part of the advertisement."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
After all, there had been a lot of rumors about the advertisement, but no one believed them.
However, after hearing what Lydia said, some of them were still a little shaken.
Suddenly, the crowd started whispering among themselves.
"Pfft!" She scoffed. "Aren't you the one who posted the scandal?"
Anne smiled coldly, her eyes full of disbelief.
The onlookers who had recovered from their shock also felt that what Anne said was right. They all looked at Lydia with doubt.
"There is no evidence. What we want is real evidence! If you don't bring out any evidence, who would believe you!" Anne's chest was filled with pride.
Estella, who was standing beside her, also started to incite the surrounding people to get angry. Josie remained silent and continued to watch the show.
"This woman really knows how to talk big. She really thinks she's so pretty when she shoots an advertisement for a nobody!"
"Yeah, isn't that bullsh*t?"
"Lydia, bring the evidence!"
"If you can't explain yourself today, we'll petition to the school administration office to expel you!"
At that moment, everyone around them started to criticize her. In the end, they all came to a consensus that they would drive Lydia out of the school today.
At this moment, everyone's emotions were completely stirred up by Estella and Josie. Lydia was instantly at a disadvantage.
However, she was not embarrassed at all. Instead, she was very happy.
In fact, she even felt that the people were still not in high spirits!
She raised her eyes and swept her gaze across the crowd, pretending to be nervous. She bit her lips and swept her gaze across the crowd as if she was looking for a life-saving straw. In the end, her gaze landed on the production team not far away.
Her eyes suddenly lit up with joy. She pointed at the production team and explained, "That's our production team!"
"Tsk, how is that possible!" After seeing what Lydia had just done, Anne thought that she had just said it out of guilt, "But since you said so, let's go up and verify it. Let's see if it's really as you said, that your crew is filming an advertisement."
"Yeah, let's go confront them!"
Anne's question represented everyone. Estella stretched out her hand and pulled Lydia towards the crew.
Because Estella walked quickly, Lydia was forced to follow her left leg, which was hurting. She was sweating profusely.
Just as she was about to struggle free from her hands, she was flung forward by her.
She staggered and slammed into a tall and sturdy body. Then, she was tightly wrapped up by his arm, preventing her from falling.
"Are you alright?" A familiar voice sounded beside her ear.
She suddenly raised her head and saw a handsome face.
Reece?
Why did he come here?
It was not only Lydia who was shocked, but also Anne and Josie. They looked at the man's face and suddenly turned pale.
They never thought that Reece would be in the crew. They felt that something was off when they saw the two men, and their hearts began to beat faster.
Especially Josie, who subconsciously stepped back, afraid that the man would find out that she was trying to stir up trouble.
"Hello, may I ask who is the director of this film crew?" Not knowing Reece, Estella walked up with a smile and asked politely.
"What's the matter?" The man spat out two words coldly. In an instant, Estella felt her scalp turning numb and her body subconsciously tensing up. "Oh, it's like this. My classmate said that your crew is filming an advertisement for her. I wonder if that's true?"
"No."
The man immediately denied it without even thinking. Although his tone was still cold, it made Estella happy.
Not to mention Estella, even Anne and Josie were stunned, and then their faces were full of smiles.
"Did you hear that? The scriptwriter said that it wasn't for Lydia!"
Estella raised her voice and turned to look at the onlookers behind her. She then looked at Lydia mockingly, "Lydia, what else do you have to say?"
"I..."
"Get out of University of Goulcrest!"
Without waiting for Lydia to explain, Estella immediately shouted, and the surrounding people also followed suit.
"Lydia, get out of University of Goulcrest."
"Get out of University of Goulcrest!"
The crowd's shouts were deafening, and Lydia couldn't help but frown.
She stepped forward to explain, but the man pulled her back to his side. The man glanced at the crowd with a cold glare, and his thin lips parted slightly before he continued, "I really didn't hire her to shoot an advertisement for my company, but I did hire her to shoot an advertisement for my diamond ring!"
The crowd was stunned by his words and fell silent.
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.
Estella, who had shouted the loudest just now, turned pale when she heard his words.
