Chapter 17 - Sara’s Incident

Hearing Sara's name, Lilia immediately sat on the bed. The drowsiness disappeared to thin air. Twenty minutes later, Harold came to pick her at her house.

After Lilia got into Harold's car, she took off the mask and sunglasses she was wearing. Lilia's long hair was only tied back, showing how hurried she was.

"What happened?" Lilia asked.

Harold started the car and said, "Give me your cell phone first."

His usually energetic appearance looked grim. His gray eyes were filled with worry. Seeing Harold's gloom made Lilia grip her cellphone tighter, "Harold. Tell me, what's going on on the internet? " She demanded.

Managers should only confiscate their artist's cell phone when there were uncontrollable situations on the Internet. This action was taken to protect the artist from gossip and rumors.

The same thing happened when William and Sara went to America three years ago.

When Harold remained silent, Lilia became even more panicked and tried to open her social media accounts.

"Do not look!" Harold snatched Lilia's cellphone as the woman let her guard down. He took a deep breath and began to speak, "Sara Hartanto was involved in a car accident last night. She was hit by a car and broke her leg. When being interviewed by reporters, she purposely mentioned that she met you before the accident happened." 𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om

"So… you mean…" Lilia's face turned pale.

Harold nodded with a bitter expression, "The entertainment world is in an uproar now. Everyone thinks that you have something to do with the accident because Sara tried to cover up the case. Plus, William Anggara's fans insult you all over the internet. This topic has already attracted the attention of more than five million people and the number is still growing."

Lilia was at a loss for words at all of that. She didn't know anything but still got dragged through the mud. She even became the prime suspect. Her body was already heavy due to lack of sleep and she felt even more tired now.

Lilia felt that she was underestimating Sara's abilities. When she was with William, Sara always had a way to get his attention. The daughter of the Hartanto family even spread rumors several times that William was bored with Lilia, so he started dating Sara. The man convinced Lilia that the rumors were fake, but in the end, William fell into Sara's hands.

Now that Sara had got William, what else could she get by slandering Lilia?

Harold was driving fast but carefully. On the way, he stopped by the convenience store and bought breakfast for Lilia. The woman finished her breakfast quickly before leaning back into the car seat. She closed her eyes, her innocent bare face looked tired.

Harold watched Lilia silently. He wanted to reach out and stroke the woman's head, just so he could see Lilia smiling again, but Harold got discouraged when Lilia opened her eyes.

"What are we going to do about this?" Lilia asked in a low, sleepy voice.

"Let's go to the agency first. I'll take care of everything, so you don't have to worry." Harold replied, trying to sound confident.

Hearing that, Lilia closed her eyes again. She had seen Harold's ability to solve problems like this many times. She believed her manager could also handle this incident.

Even if Harold really couldn't solve it, Lilia had thought of the other ways to deal with it.

*****

Two hours later, Aphrodite Agency's official website and social media accounts posted their statements.

The content stated that all forms of defamation such as insults and spreading gossip on the internet could be prosecuted. In addition, the Aphrodite Agency promised full cooperation with the police to investigate this case completely.

In just five minutes since the announcement was posted, more than a thousand people had commented. Almost all of them came from William fans. 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m

[MemeManis: 3]: "This announcement was posted even though the police haven't issued any statement yet? This is called a false promise!"

[Ucok_SBY]: "Defamation? If the accusation is true, no good name can't be defamed!"

[Rahmat_99]: "I support Lilia Pangestu and Aphrodite Agency! Keep the spirit Okay!"

[increasingly cool]: "How many people were hired to screw up here? I want to be paid too! Invite me!"
