Chapter 293: Chapter 293

After reading his message, Vera Wave immediately sent him a reply.

"Message received. Keep going, husband. Reign supreme across the globe."

He must have been busy at the other end, as he only sent back a single word, "Okay," to signify he had received the message.

Upon seeing Vera Wave emerge, Mrs. Feng immediately served the breakfast she had prepared. Wave ate her breakfast in a hurry and promptly arrived at the office.

The Production Department had already created a draft of the promotion poster. She called in a few subordinates, and after a careful discussion, they selected the final draft from the three initial versions.

She went to the Production Department and personally revised the draft with the graphic designer. By the time the final draft was sent to the printer, it was already afternoon. Other work was still in progress, so she didn’t have much else to do at the moment.

Sitting down in a chair, she did some eye exercises. Just as she was about to get up and stretch, she received a call from Rowan Nichols.

"Director Nichols, what can I do for you?"

"There are two things. One is to inform you that we will be filming on location at Eriwald Film City the weekend after next. The other thing is..." Rowan Nichols hesitated a little before continuing, "About that news, I’m sure you’ve already heard. Director Song has prohibited anyone in the crew from revealing any information about you. But you know how journalists are. You must be careful. There’s a saying, ’One should always be on guard.’ You agree, don’t you?"

As an assistant director with little power and no significant status or backing, Rowan Nichols could see that this news was someone’s attempt to harm her. However, with his limited abilities, all he could do was remind Vera Wave. He couldn’t help her with anything else.

He had already informed her about the outdoor filming. This time, he just used it as an excuse, mainly to remind her.

"I know." Vera Wave replied gratefully, "Director Nichols, thank you. I will be careful."

After ending the call with Rowan Nichols, Wave straightened up, turned on her computer, and visited a news website.

The news concerning Irene Spencer had, after more than a day, fermented into a major story across the entire web.

Almost all journalists were now trying to figure out who this brash second lead, who’d "beaten a big star into tears with ten slaps," really was.

The previous issue with Maggie Clarke had also been dug up. Vera Wave was already being portrayed as a "venomous lotus"—someone with a powerful background, arrogant and domineering, cruel and ruthless, who would slap the female lead and bite the second female lead.

However, because Director Song from the film crew had ordered that no one accept any interviews, journalists hadn’t yet managed to find out who Vera Wave really was.

A venomous lotus? Vera Wave pursed her lips. "Okay... then I’ll let you see just how venomous I can be."

Just as she finished speaking, Wang Xiaoya hurriedly stepped into the room, so anxious that she hadn’t even knocked on the door.

"Vera, it’s bad... I don’t know who leaked your information, but they now know you work at Ashton and know your name. They’re preparing to find out your address and daily routine, and they plan to make a move against you in the next couple of days."

Vera lifted her face. "Go tell them that you’re at Ashton and have found my information."

"You..." Xiaoya swallowed. "Are you crazy?" ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel⦿fire.net

Vera leaned back in her chair, folding her arms across her chest.

"Didn’t they say I was a venomous lotus? Then I’ll let them see how venomous I am."

Xiaoya stared at her, puzzled. Vera’s face held a somewhat eerie smile.

"Did... did you come up with a plan, Vera?"
