Lily Turner had many doubts and speculations in her heart, but she didn’t voice them.
This incident caused quite a stir, and it was beyond her ability to resolve it completely.
Since her boss and that man were going to handle it, she could only stand aside and watch quietly.
Last time, there were no photos as evidence, so although people had suspicions, they didn’t dare to say much due to lack of proof.
But this time, with pictures providing the truth, everyone believed only what their own eyes could see.
The way the other actors in the crew looked at Lily Turner had changed, especially the actresses, whose looks were strange, with some even casting disdainful glances without any pretense.
Lily chose to ignore those looks because she knew arguing with them was pointless and would only make things worse for herself.
Now, she just needed to focus on acting; the other matters were beyond her control.
Lily’s desire to keep the peace didn’t quiet those people; it only emboldened them further.
They no longer limited their actions to looks; their mouths began to take action as well.
During breaks in filming, they gathered in groups to gossip about Lily Turner and the mysterious investor. Some even spoke loudly on purpose.
They did it deliberately, intending for her to hear.
"No wonder she’s become so popular in just a few years; it turns out she’s been using such sleazy methods to climb up." Emily Young, the second female lead, was the first to speak.
The actress playing the second lead’s maid quickly chimed in, "Exactly, shamelessly pretending to be pure in front of others."
"Isn’t that the truth? She pretends to be so innocent in public, but who knows how many men she’s slept with in private." Nova Lambert, who played the second lead’s friend, wasn’t idle either, adding fuel to the fire with the other two.
With their support, Emily Young felt secretly pleased and voiced her indignation, "Truly hypocritical! Disgusting!"
"I think Henry Thompson must have found her disgusting, which is why he didn’t want her. If I were a man, I couldn’t accept a woman who’s slept with countless men as my wife either." Nova Lambert’s words were venomous, as if she knew everything about the situation.
"If you want so badly to be a man, then go to the hospital for a sex-change surgery, that way you’ll surely become a sensation overnight."
Lily Turner had been tolerating these women for a long time; they started gossiping about her secretly as soon as she joined the crew.
Their gossip was overheard by Helena, who initially told Lily about it, but she didn’t take it too seriously.
She thought they’d stop after gossiping a bit, but things didn’t go as she expected.
The three women didn’t stop gossiping about her and continued their secret discussions, speaking none too kindly according to what Helena overheard.
What she didn’t expect was that today’s gossip was even more excessive, with humiliating language targeting her.
Lily Turner felt the urge to tear those women’s mouths apart; how could they spread such baseless nonsense?
They were in the same entertainment circle as she was, weren’t they afraid that one day they might face something similar?
