Chapter 166
Hal was livid as he looked at the reporters in front of him, “When I asked you guys to come gossip hunting before, you weren’t like this. Now that you’ve taken my money, you want to slack off?”
The reporter replied, “But you never said we were to shoot Ms. Irvine! You didn’t specify who the target was!”
Seeing how afraid they were of Astrid, Hal was confused. After all, the media reporters he had hired were big shots, how could they be so scared of Astrid? Before he could figure out why, the reporters were already packing up to leave.
“You reporters love gossip, don’t you?” Hal growled, “She’s just a small–time star, what are you so scared of?”
“A small–time star?” a reporter was taken aback, “She’s our boss!”
“You want us to expose our own boss? Are you trying to get us all fired?”
Boss?
DreamScape Entertainment had nurtured countless entertainment journalists, fifty percent of the famous ones in the industry worked for the company.
He had invited them because of their influence in the entertainment industry to shoot Astrid!
Who would have thought, they would tell him that Astrid was the boss of their company!
Hal refused to believe it, “You guys are bullshitting, I’ve checked your company, the legal representative is named Aaron!”
The reporter explained, “During our financial crisis a few years back, Ms. Irvine bought our company. Aaron is Chad’s real name, he’s just the acting legal representative. The real boss is Ms. Irvine, she just didn’t want us to disclose her identity!”
Hal was furious. He knew Astrid liked to invest in companies and even had her own. But he never expected Astrid to have bought DreamScape Entertainment! Gracie called again, Astrid didn’t want to be around Hal any longer, so she bypassed him to leave.
The reporters moved aside, Hal coldly said, “I won’t let go. I know your relationship with Elio is fake, I’ve already checked, you’re not even married!”
Astrid scoffed, “Just because we’re not married now doesn’t mean we won’t be in the future, Hal, I won’t give you any chances!”
“Elio may not be perfect but he doesn’t do things that disgust me, he doesn’t force me to do things I don’t want to, he would change for me, he respects me, is willing to protect my dreams with me, unlike you, who only wants to keep me as a plaything!”
Hal was completely taken aback.
Many pursued Astrid but none had received such high praise from her.
She was still moved.
Elio.
Hal watched Astrid’s retreating figure, his expression was very cold.
Before she got to the set, Astrid texted Chad, “Hal paid a bunch of reporters from DreamScape Entertainment to shoot me today, they’re our people, but I’m worried someone might defect, handle it.”
