Chapter 9: Ciara's conspiracy

But Vera's investigation of such a side and it may be completely unfounded, she could be mistaken. It cannot conclude that the mysterious investor who supported Aurora Gabriel is Phelan Darius. 

Phelan Darius is famous for being the most ruthless conspirator in the business world, whether an ordinary person or someone who lives only in the entertainment world like Vera also more or less knows his reputation. 

Phelan Darius has a rule that he can go to bed with all women except those of the entertainment world. 

Many actors and models with outstanding looks have dreamed of becoming the exclusive representative of Shadow Company. But not once did Phelan give them a chance. To catch Phelan's eye was even more difficult than picking stars in the sky.

Vera half believed and half doubted, Phelan Darius did not touch people in the entertainment world. So if he slept with Aurora Gabriel by mistake, when he found out that she was an actress, he had to immediately clean up the new relationship. 

Then who is the mysterious investor?

The next day, Vera immediately brought what she investigated and told Aurora Gabriel. Aurora, after being confirmed  that the man that night had a relationship with her was Phelan Darius, could not help but be shocked. 

Aurora Gabriel has never met Phelan Darius, her family has never done business with him, but his reputation is heard of. 

After all, he is also someone who does not use any tricks, so why invest money in her? 

Does he still want her to find him herself? 

Phelan seemed to be dropping bait for her. He sees Aurora as a good prey to bully, pretending to be invested in her role but is actually probing how she feels.

If Aurora was happy and appreciative, Phelan Darius would certainly despise a woman of greed and greed. On the contrary, if Aurora is indifferent as if she knows nothing, it is likely that the other man will think that she is acting innocent and ignorant.

Either way, Aurora finds herself in great danger when she encounters Phelan.

He's so sinister!

Phelan knows well how to put Aurora in a dilemma. Sooner or later, Aurora has to look to him to make things clear. The relationship between them can't be left ambiguous like that. Aurora thought.

However, there was one thing that Aurora didn't understand.

A man as experienced in love as Phelan just needs to wave his hand and have a woman rush into his embrace.

So why did he come to her, an actress struggling to lose her job, scandalous and even unremarkable?

While concentrating on her thoughts, Aurora was startled by a voice calling in.

“Well well well, Aurora, the well-acclaimed lady of the Gabriel family, isn't it? You don't seem arrogant these days, do you? Why not? Oh I know, you're no different from me now, you can’t be cocky, little girl." Ciara Fidelia said.

Aurora Gabriel lost, who is the happiest? Ciara Fidelia, of course. 

“Finally it was my turn to shoot. Wow... waiting for you to finish filming a scene, NG took ten times, but I almost fell asleep.”

Aurora gently responded, a tough tone not easy to bully. She can be humbled before the strong, but never give in to the weak who like to play petty things.

Aurora Gabriel then took the script to the director to prepare to shoot. Ciara Fidelia was so angry, Aurora clearly no longer has the support of her family, but still straight up responded to her like that.

Ciara Fidelia went to her seat to rest, her eyes filled with hatred, she looked at Aurora Gabriel, who was smiling and laughing, and said to the director.

Why is it because of some bad luck that Aurora Gabriel, who lost the role, was able to get the role back?

Ciara Fidelia's assistant gave her a bottle of water, and used a fan script to show her desire to please.

"Do not get angry. Aurora is now just an unknown actress, no one dares to stand up for her anymore."

"But she has Shanley Theodore's back."

“This is not certain”

The female assistant looked maliciously at Ciara Fidelia.

"What's wrong?"

The female assistant tried to be secretive, her monolid eyes looking around to see if anyone was nearby, then motioned for Ciara Fidelia to come closer and listen to her whisper in her ear.

“Recently, I heard Vera talking with director Cadell. Aurora Gabriel really didn't have to rely on Shanley Theodore to get the role back."

"Really? How can she do that?"

Ciara Fidelia raised her voice, she realized that she was exaggerating, so she quickly covered her mouth. But this news really surprised her, Ciara Fidelia originally thought that Aurora Gabriel's family had failed, everything is now given by Shanley Theodore

But now it turns out that it is not, then who?

This news is too hot, Ciara Fidelia can't wait.

"Yes, It is said that she also had to sell her body, relying on the rich owner to get this role back."

“Is that true? In the newspapers, it was said that Shanley Theodore was helping her."

“The press is not always right. They want to exaggerate everything but no one can stop them. Giving a little bit of false information and then correcting it the next day is considered as cleaning up all the mistakes."

"If what you say is true, then Aurora seems to be dirty. Selling her body to a rich old man, a calm manager like Vera also had to one day put her excellent actress in bed with a rich man. Thinking back to their noble expressions before, I find it amusing."

"I want to bring down Aurora Gabriel, simply, now just release the news that she slept with investors to regain her role and then sit and watch her pathetic, that's it."

“Good idea”. Ciara squealed in delight, her face sinister looking at Aurora on set.

Ciara turned to look at the female assistant beside her with bright eyes. 

…

It was late at night when Aurora Gabriel came home, her mother also went to sleep, there was still some food in the kitchen, but she was not in the mood to eat very much. Returning to the film crew these days has kept her busy, but she knows that now she has to work hard to achieve success. 

As soon as she got home, Aurora's name automatically popped up in her mind. Even though his actions were a bit mysterious and provocative to Aurora, she truly appreciated the help of that strange man.

Although it is not clear what the real purpose of this is, Aurora still feels reassured that her role has not been taken away from her for the time being.

If he considered it as compensation for a one-night stand relationship, she happily agreed, anyway, using her body to buy the role, sleeping with Phelan Darius would be considered. It is worth more than other investors. 

“Are you back? Eat something, I'll warm up the food for you."

"Okay."

"Recently, you've been filming too much. You look a lot thinner than before."

"It's okay mom, now we don't have the same conditions as before, I have to work hard."

"Don't let yourself get too tired, don't overdo it, I just want you to be healthy and safe."

Aurora Gabriel hugged her mother and gave her some motivation.

"Don't worry, your daughter will know how to take good care of herself."

Mrs. Jennifer stroked Aurora Gabriel's hair. Her husband still has no news until now, her daughter has to work like crazy, she is really heartbroken. She just hopes that everything goes well with Aurora Gabriel and her husband, although there is no news, she still hopes that he is healthy, waiting for the day to be reunited with her.
