CHAPTER 202: PR CRISIS
"Yes! Wendy is a mistress!"
As soon as Ruben confirmed that Wendy was indeed a mistress, a loud murmur went through the reporters sitting in the living room.
Ruben cried and said, "We have witnessed how Wendy turned into a rebellious girl. We are also very distressed with how she has turned out.Cacia and I wanted her to quit the showbiz and find a normal job, but she wouldn't listen."
He started to cry even more pitifully as he spoke.His sobs shook his thin and bony structure.His gray hair added to the overall picture of a sad father that he was trying to portray.
The reporters were all moved.
Seeing this, Cacia sniffed and added, "I'm her stepmother.I was always in a constant state of worry that Wendy and her sister Reese would not like me since I married their father.So I have always treated them better than my own daughter.We are all human beings.I thought that as time passed, they would accept me.But I never expected..."
Cacia paused for a dramatic effect, wiped her tears, and continued in a choked voice, "We were so happy to know that Wendy had returned, we went to see her.But she spoke ill of us and threatened us.She told us not to ruin her plan.And she also told us not to speak ill of her in front of the media.We can tolerate her unkind attitude towards us.After all, we are her parents.And if we don't care about her, then who will? However, this time we have no choice.As for the scandals about Wendy, we also heard about them.We are afraid that if she continues down this path, with all the obsession with fame and money, she will do something worse in the future.So we decided to bring the truth out in the open."
Cacia was a plump middle-aged woman.
When she cried, she looked like a simple and honest woman, which was very deceptive.
The reporters felt sorry for this sad middle-aged couple.
Cacia wiped her tears and looked at the cameras.
"I want to say something to Wendy, can I?"
"Yes, of course! Go ahead!"
The cameras were all aimed at Cacia.
Her eyes were red, but she forced an unsteady smile.
"Wendy, stop all this as soon as possible, my dear.Don't make any more mistakes.Your father and I cannot watch you destroy yourself like this.I am aware that you hate us.But we have to do this.Wendy, we care about you the most in the world.We are family.It doesn't matter how much you misunderstand or hate us, we still love you.As long as you're willing to repent, the door of our house will always be open for you!"
Cacia's voice was so moving, that even the reporters were deeply touched.
They all thought that Wendy was lucky to have such a kind stepmother.
'How ungrateful Wendy is!' The reporters were indignant.
The moment Ruben and Cacia's interview went online, the scandals about Wendy were confirmed, and the netizens went crazy.
They labeled Wendy as a scheming woman, a material girl, and a discourteous person.
Oakley's words had just triggered and aroused suspicion among the netizens, while the interviews given by Wendy's own family proved that she was not a good person.
After all, whenever there are too many rumors, it gets difficult to distinguish right from wrong.
'If Wendy was such a nice person as some claimed to be, how come her family would slander her? Obviously, Wendy is at fault.' In just a couple of hours, many netizens shared their thoughts.
And Wendy ranked first in the top trending searches.
Also, Evie's previously released breaking news was once again a topic of discussion.
Some netizens even felt sorry for Evie.
They thought that Evie spoke the truth about Wendy, and yet the film industry bigwigs got together and shut the former out of the industry.
Evie's fans went berserk! They even spread several ridiculous stories.
Evie's fans said that her extramarital affair with Wesley was a rumor spread by Wendy.
All the fans went crazy! Not only did they cursed Wendy, but they also left comments on the official website of Glory Media.
They asked the company to throw Wendy out of the entertainment industry.
If Wendy couldn't come up with solid proof that all these people were lying, she would have no option but to forgo her career as an actress.
That night In Glory Media Roger was watching Ruben and Cacia's interviews on the TV screen.
His usual gentle face turned extremely sour, The entire PR department of Glory Media was working overtime.
The director of the department was a middle-aged man called Randolph Mac.
He was adept and resourceful.
From the time Glory Media started, several artists in their company encountered these kinds of crises.
Randolph was the one who helped solve these crises.
Several times, he had reversed the situations and successfully saved the reputation of the artists.
But today, he felt a deep sense of frustration.
"Randolph, please find a solution to get Wendy out of this."
Randolph shook his head and said, "Roger, you should know that scandals are more difficult to solve than gossips.What's more, even Wendy's own father has confirmed the authenticity of her scandals.Do you think she can prove her innocence?"
"They are lying!"
Randolph spread out his hands in a helpless gesture and asked, "Is that important? The important thing is that people now believe that she is a horrible person!"
Roger's face darkened as he clenched his fists.
"Wendy loves acting so much.Is there really no way out of this?"
Randolph shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, but no! Honestly, it's impossible to save her this time."
Seeing that Roger was not pleased, Randolph walked over and patted him on the shoulder.
"Roger, you are an accomplished agent.You will never find a shortage of fresh talent to take care of in this company.Why are you wasting your precious time on Wendy? I guess it's time you give up and forget about her."
Roger's face darkened.
'Give up? Impossible! He had known Wendy for the past three years.He knew what kind of a person she was.He would never let Wendy face the brunt of these fabricated scandals.When Roger walked out of the department, his face was dark.He came across Kane, who hadn't gone home either.Roger was taken aback for a moment.He then nodded to Kane.He greeted Kane like how an employee should greet his employer.Then, he turned around and started to leave.
"Wait!"
Kane stopped him.
"What?"
"I saw the news about Wendy.The company will find a way to get her out of it.Don't worry."
"Thank you!" Kane smiled bitterly.
His hand still sported a gauze bandage.
He looked at Roger intently and asked, "Roger, do you have to talk to me like this?"
Roger did not say anything.
They looked at each other in silence.
After a while, Roger looked away and said, "If you don't have anything else to say, then I'll be on my way.I have to go and see Wendy." Content © copyrighted by .
"I don't think that's necessary."
Roger looked at Kane with bewilderment.
Kane sighed and said, "I just had a word with Ryan.Wendy is at his parents'.Her son had an emergency.Even if you go to Ensfield, you won't find her there."
'Ray had an emergency?'
The expression on Roger's face changed as he thought of something.He turned to leave in a hurry, giving no time for Kane to react.
"Where are you going?"
"Meet Wendy!"
