Chapter 959
And the more Anastasia looked at this Nicola, the more familiar she seemed. Then it hit her-this was the same woman who had tried to flirt with Harrison outside the Global Harmony Medical Institute. A surge of disgust washed over her.
“Did you find out what really happened?” she asked Carter directly.
With Carter’s skills, if he had looked into the matter, he surely had some answers.
“Yes, I did,” Carter confirmed, as expected.
“That tycoon and Nicola have a history. He was her sugar daddy for a long time. But recently, Nicola found a new benefactor, the president of an entertainment company, and she’s been looking for an excuse to break things off with the old one p>
“The tycoon didn’t agree and came to the film set to pester her. The scene in the video was actually a consensual rendezvous in his hotel room. The problem started when Ms. Lawson unexpectedly came looking for Nicola to discuss something. Nicola panicked, afraid of being exposed, and tried to leave. The tycoon didn’t want her to go and chased her out, grabbing her. That was the moment Ms. Lawson walked in and saw them p>
“Nicola is the second female lead in the film. For a while now, she’s been using her new connections to demand more scenes and upstage the main actress, but Ms. Lawson refused. The two of them weren’t on the best of terms. Nicola, judging others by her own standards, assumed Ms. Lawson would expose her affair. At best, she’d anger her new benefactor; at worst, her career would be over. So, she decided to strike first, framing Ms. Lawson to save her own skin p>
Anastasia wasn’t surprised by the detailed report. “Do you have proof that Nicola and that tycoon had an improper relationship?” she asked immediately.
If they had that, Nicola’s entire story would crumble.
The fact that Marina hadn’t responded yet likely meant she was caught without any hard evidence.
Carter replied, “I do p>
Without another word, he sent Anastasia what he had found.
After reviewing the files, a wave of relief washed over Anastasia. “Brilliant work! I’m calling Mom right now p>
The files Carter had found were damning-intimate photos and videos of Nicola with the tycoon during the period he was her benefactor. Anastasia immediately called Marina to share the news.
Marina’s team was in crisis mode, and her assistant answered the phone, clearly stressed.
When Marina took the call, she was stunned. “I didn’t say a word about this at home,” she said, a hint of weary surprise in her voice. “How did you find out?” She knew Anastasia rarely browsed the internet for anything other thần games and even that was strictly regulated by her son.
“Carter told me,” Anastasia explained. “He sensed something was wrong when you came home earlier so he looked into it online.
the
He’s me, one who found all this
evidence I’m sending you p>
Marina was astonished.
Her feelings were complicated, but after a moment, she said, “Please, tell him thank you for me p>
“I will,” Anastasia promised.
Carter’s findings were a game-changer. As soon as Marina received them, she didn’t hesitate to release them online. The tide of public opinion turned almost instantly.
When Anastasia checked online again, Nicola was being so thoroughly lambasted that she had disabled comments on her profile and deleted her original post.
Her PR team Scrambled to issue a statement claiming Marina’s evidence was fabricated, but it was a futile effort Other online sleuths, using Marina’s post as a starting point, began unearthing evermore proof of Nicola’s past as a kept woman.
Seeing the online frenzy, Anastasia put her phone down.
Nicola’s career was finished.
That evening, Marina came over specifically to thank Carter in person. “I owe you one for this, Carter p>
The rest of the family wasn’t aware of the online drama. Harrison, placing some vegetables on Anastasia’s plate, looked up. “What happened p>
