00:00 Episode 187 Being Defamed
00:04 After seeing the article, Charlotte's face turned terrifyingly red.
00:09 She grabbed onto the Entertainment Magazine and stomped her high-heeled shoes over to Lucas's office, throwing it down in front of him.
00:18 "Why did you make this decision on your own?"
00:21 Lucas put down the documents in his hands and stood up from his chair.
00:26 "Because we will only meet with Emma's counterattack if we continue to wait any longer.
00:32 She's a careful schemer. The evidence we have in our hands is already enough to ruin her.
00:38 Since that's the case, why should we continue to hold off?"
00:42 Charlotte didn't reply. In truth, she felt that Lucas's actions were the right thing to do.
00:48 However, she didn't like people who made their own decisions without her consent.
00:55 Emma was in London at the time.
00:57 As long as H-World didn't do any PR and let the scandal continue to spread,
01:03 all that would be waiting for her was the netizens' disgust and destruction.
01:08 "Don't forget that Emma was capable of pulling herself out of the last scandal," she reminded him.
01:15 "I definitely won't let her recover this time. I'm well-prepared," he responded.
01:21 He presented a whole stack of information for Charlotte to see.
01:25 "If Emma tries to retaliate, I'll just pull out another piece of evidence to get back at her," he thought.
01:32 He didn't believe there would be anyone capable of saving her.
01:37 "Dear God, I never expected Emma to appear so distant from the world on the surface, yet be so wild deep down," people speculated.
01:47 "I already heard before that every time she goes overseas, she never stays in the hotel organized by her agency.
01:54 Where could she have gone? She must have found someone to satisfy her."
01:59 "Didn't she say she didn't have a boyfriend?
02:01 On the Talkmaster interview, I already felt that there was something going on between her and the man with the dreamy back.
02:08 Was I the only one that felt like she was seducing a married man?"
02:13 "I told you guys ages ago that there was something wrong with that slut, but so many of you claim that she was smarter than that.
02:20 She's almost been crushed into paste.
02:23 Isn't she just a model? Does it really make sense for her to hog the search rankings?"
02:29 "I reckon that woman is currently lying in some foreign man's bed right now."
02:35 In an instant, there were so many comments attacking Emma that the server almost crashed.
02:41 As for the media company who had released the news, they had never seen an article being spread around so quickly.
02:49 They were grinning from ear to ear.
02:52 "Let that slut stay in London and never come back," they thought.
02:57 After the release of the scandal, media companies quickly contacted H-World to see if they were aware of Emma's current state.
03:05 However, Lucas responded with a simple, "I was not."
03:10 On top of everything, H-World didn't do anything to resolve the matter.
03:16 It suggested to the public that they had decided not to do any PR for Emma.
03:22 This gave the impression that she had indeed done something wrong, leaving them with no choice but to give up on her.
03:31 The media also contacted Richard.
03:34 At the time, he was watching Emma practice her walk.
03:37 He had no idea what they were talking about, so he ordered Lisa to do some research online.
03:44 She looked extremely miserable as she handed the information over to Richard, her neck flushing red.
03:52 He took the phone from her and had a quick glance before gesturing that he would take care of Emma.
03:58 He also instructed her not to let Emma find out.
04:02 Her main priority was JK's show.
04:05 Lisa tried her best to hold back her anger in her heart as she looked at Richard and made an "OK" sign with her hand.
04:13 Richard walked outside on his phone.
04:16 As he stood in front of the church, he made a call.
04:19 "Charlotte, you sure are calculative."
04:23 "Emma's very unlucky. After struggling for so long, in the end, her name was tarnished by her own company."
04:30 Charlotte responded.
04:32 "Are you happy now that Emma's reputation is blackened like ash?"
04:36 "Richard, even if I were to give up on Emma, there are still thousands of other Emmas."
04:43 "The only reason she ended up like this is because she asked for it."
04:48 Charlotte retorted.
04:50 "If she knew how to behave and was a little more obedient without being so opinionated, she would have such a promising future."
04:58 "She wouldn't be only offered a show like JK's, but even better jobs too. They would be all hers."
05:06 "At this point, she can't blame anyone."
05:09 Richard took a deep breath.
05:11 He suddenly felt bad for Charlotte.
05:14 Emma simply wanted to chase her dreams.
05:17 She never wanted to hinder anyone.
05:19 "Sorry, Charlotte."
05:21 She could sense there was a deeper meaning to his words.
05:24 She gradually scrunched up her eyebrows.
05:27 "What do you mean?"
05:29 He hesitated for a moment before asking,
05:32 "Was Arnie pushed to her death in the same way?"
05:36 Hearing that name after so long, Charlotte was dumbfounded for a moment before scoffing,
05:43 "I'm sure you know better than I do how Arnie died."
05:46 "As for Emma, I just want to throw her into a place of no return."
05:51 Richard felt he no longer had anything to say to her, so he hung up.
05:56 However, this phone call hadn't resulted in nothing.
06:00 He had recorded the entire conversation.
06:04 Afterwards, he accepted phone calls from the New York media and told them,
06:09 "None of what you've heard is the truth."
06:11 "I hope the media can maintain their professional morals and not insult other people's innocence."
06:18 After returning to New York, Eric had only just sat down inside his office at Kaleidoscope
06:24 when he saw the viral scandal online.
06:27 He immediately called Richard.
06:30 "Eric, don't worry.
06:32 Emma doesn't know about it yet, and I intend on keeping it that way."
06:36 "I won't let it affect her appearance on J.K.'s show," Richard told him.
06:41 "Also, I have a recording in my hands that proves that Charlotte has purposefully defamed her."
06:48 "Take good care of my wife," said Eric.
06:51 "Don't let her mood be affected."
06:54 "Also, send me the recording."
06:57 At that moment, he was completely different to how he was in front of Emma.
07:02 It was only then that Richard experienced the Eric that the public spoke of.
07:07 He was an ultimate ruler with an unchallengeable power.
07:12 "I'll send it over now."
07:15 Richard understood that keeping the recording in his own hands
07:18 would never have the same impact as giving it to Eric.
07:23 He quickly sent it over, completely forgetting the part where he mentioned Arnie's death.
07:29 Eric listened to the recording, cut out the part regarding Arnie, and gave it to Luke to handle.
07:35 "Upload this recording to the most popular sites online for one month with an eye-catching headline."
07:42 "Make sure not to let it come down from the top searches."
07:46 "The headline can be, 'Emma is being slandered because she offended you.'"
07:51 "One month?" Luke was a little surprised.
07:55 "Does this mean H-World are just awaiting their destruction?" he thought to himself.
08:01 "One month," Eric repeated.
08:04 "On top of that, get some media companies to extract specific phrases from the recording."
08:10 "And get a team to spread them around."
08:13 "We should help Charlotte get some publicity."
08:16 "Doesn't she want to experience ultimate power?"
08:20 "I'll give it to her."
08:22 He handed his phone over to Luke.
08:25 "Remember, if anyone tries to buy the top spots, then respond with double their offer."
08:31 "I want H-World's news to be up there for one month."
08:36 Episode 188
08:45 "Let Me Bow Down to You"
08:48 "Hey, have you guys seen the recording that's all over the internet?" people asked.
08:53 "What gossip is it this time?"
08:56 "What else could it be?"
08:57 "It turns out that Emma was disgraced so badly yesterday because H-World's CEO didn't like that she was being disobedient."
09:06 "Who does she think she is?"
09:08 "Does she believe she's a god who can completely control others?"
09:12 "So, the tables have turned again."
09:15 The netizens quickly opened the recording everyone was talking about.
09:20 They heard the voices of Emma's manager, Richard, and H-World's CEO, Charlotte.
09:26 Many people were familiar with them, so their voices were easily identified.
09:32 The content of the recording consisted of Richard asking Charlotte why she wasn't satisfied after already tarnishing Emma's reputation,
09:41 and Charlotte arrogantly replying that it was because Emma wasn't obedient.
09:47 Even when destroying her own agency's model, she didn't hold back at all.
09:53 The netizens started discussing how the entertainment industry was like a deep pool of water.
09:59 When seeking the truth, there was a lot to be found below the surface.
10:04 It didn't take long for Emma to be acknowledged as the victim.
10:08 At that moment, many people who had been in similar situations before left messages of their own experiences and showed their support.
10:19 It's amazing for someone to have a lot of money,
10:22 but when they use it to destroy other people's dreams and ruin lives, they're downright trash.
10:29 Charlotte is just the tip of the iceberg.
10:31 In all honesty, the entertainment industry is like an awful ditch full of garbage.
10:38 Actually, what I want to say is that the person who uploaded this recording is really cool.
10:44 The reason why Emma has been slandered like this is because she's been standing in too many people's way.
10:50 She's too clean and distant from the world.
10:53 However, the entertainment industry is all about sucking up to people and building relationships.
10:59 Emma, if you continue being the way you are, you will continue to suffer, but I'll continue to support you.
11:07 Emma, are you the one who got someone to keep the recording at the top of the search rankings?
11:12 If you are, then please let me bow down to you.
11:17 It hadn't even been one day and the tables had turned completely.
11:22 Onlookers had gradually gotten used to Emma's ability to deal with scandals.
11:27 Therefore, they weren't surprised when the conditions were reversed.
11:32 However, the content of the recordings still got people talking.
11:37 The day had just turned into night.
11:39 Charlotte was sitting on her sofa at home, glaring angrily at the headline that was sitting at the top of the online news.
11:48 She pulled out her phone and gave Lucas a call.
11:51 She instructed him to immediately deal with the situation, but he could only respond with, "It's no use.
11:59 Every time I make an offer, someone offers to pay double.
12:03 Have you found out who it is?"
12:05 She stood up from the sofa and paced back and forth.
12:09 "The recording is definitely from Richard, but who's the powerful person behind them?
12:15 Who has Richard contacted?"
12:17 "I couldn't find anything.
12:19 He could have done it on his own or with Emma.
12:22 The other possibility is he may have found a partner in crime," Lucas replied.
12:28 "Didn't you say you had a surefire plan?
12:31 Didn't you say you were going to destroy Emma?
12:34 But who suffered in the end?"
12:36 "Me," Charlotte yelled angrily.
12:39 She was so emotional that she felt her stomach knot up in pain as she knelt on the floor.
12:45 "Do you know how difficult things were for me when the board of directors heard the news?
12:50 I was so tempted to dig a hole and bury myself in."
12:54 "Richard has been in the industry a long time, but even if he were to use the context he had,
13:01 it wouldn't be as easy as it was for him in the past," Lucas responded.
13:06 "Still, it wouldn't be hard for him to find an enemy of yours to work with.
13:11 Charlotte, you can no longer delay stripping him of his role as Emma's manager.
13:16 They could never have imagined that the person playing with them like fiddles was Eric Roberts.
13:22 It had always been him."
13:24 "Haven't you been planning to poach artists from another agency?" Lucas continued.
13:29 "I think Richard would be better off doing that.
13:32 We need to isolate Emma before we can think about moving forward."
13:36 They had taken a blow, but they were still planning their next move.
13:42 Charlotte lay on the sofa, breathing heavily.
13:45 "Your main priority is to find a way to take down the recordings.
13:51 Afterwards, call Richard and tell him that we will be replacing Emma's manager."
13:56 "Understood."
13:58 Lucas was thorough and calm.
14:01 However, there were sometimes things that a simple director like him couldn't change,
14:06 such as H-World's news.
14:08 No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make the other party even flinch.
14:14 In London, JK's show was about to start.
14:18 For the past two days, Emma had been busy with rehearsals and meetings with their designer.
14:24 She'd been so focused on holding on to these new resources
14:28 that she'd not noticed her name flipping New York upside down.
14:33 Even at that moment, the recording between Richard and Charlotte
14:37 was still headlining all the popular news websites.
14:41 As a result, H-World had suffered a huge blow,
14:45 and their reputation was especially affected.
14:48 And they didn't know who to blame.
14:52 Whenever Emma had time, she would chat with Eric over the phone.
14:56 However, not once did he mention the craziness that was happening back in New York.
15:02 The paparazzi that Charlotte had hired ended up being dismissed
15:06 as a result of the recording being exposed.
15:09 This didn't mean that Emma was free from danger.
15:12 There was still the clingy HerVision reporter.
15:16 "Are you nervous? Take a deep breath."
15:19 Just before the show was about to begin,
15:22 Lisa fanned Emma as she checked on how she was feeling.
15:26 Emma looked at the chaotic scene backstage and remained calm.
15:30 "I'm still in disbelief."
15:33 This time, no one was trying to steal her show.
15:37 No one was there to tear her apart.
15:40 The stage was all hers.
15:43 She could bring glory representing the models of America.
15:47 "Can you believe that Charlotte hasn't got something planned?" Lisa grinned.
15:52 "Right now, she can't even take care of herself.
15:55 How would she have time to deal with you?"
15:57 "What do you mean?"
16:00 Lisa didn't respond, but smiled meaningfully.
16:03 Of course, she also didn't tell her anything.
16:07 In order to witness every one of Emma's beautiful angles
16:11 during her most dazzling performance,
16:13 someone had once again left behind all their work
16:17 to fly all the way over to see her.
16:20 That person was sitting in the audience.
16:24 Seeing that Lisa wouldn't respond, Emma didn't ask further.
16:28 She knew she would find out sooner or later.
16:31 "Richard is still on the phone outside. I'll go check on him.
16:35 The show's about to start," Lisa said.
16:38 She was worried that Emma would continue to question her,
16:41 so she decided to find an excuse.
16:44 However, at that moment, Richard was feeling angry and perplexed.
16:49 "It's the agency's decision for you to leave, Emma.
16:53 As long as you're still a manager with H-World,
16:55 you will listen to the agency's instructions."
16:58 On the other end of the phone, Lucas's voice was firm.
17:02 "Of course, you have the choice to leave H-World,
17:06 but Emma is still a company model,
17:08 so we would naturally have to organize a new manager for her.
17:12 We have no need for you anymore."
17:14 Richard couldn't comprehend his words.
17:17 "Why don't you just put more effort into training newcomers?
17:21 You're more than capable of producing a successful model.
17:25 Just look at Hilary Turner.
17:27 Why must you keep going against Emma?"
17:30 He couldn't believe that Charlotte was actually dismissing him
17:34 from his role as Emma's manager.
17:38 [Silence]
17:43 Episode 189 Embarrassed on the Runway
17:48 "It's not that we want to go against Emma," said Lucas.
17:52 "She's the one who's going against us.
17:55 The agency is one big team, but as a H-World model,
17:59 when has she ever obeyed Charlotte's orders?"
18:02 "Richard, don't forget that there would be no you or Emma without H-World."
18:07 Lucas's words were loud and clear,
18:10 containing a note of pride and ridicule.
18:13 "Actually, Richard, let me correct myself.
18:16 You already lost your right to be a top manager
18:19 as soon as you betrayed Charlotte."
18:22 Richard's lips curved upwards in mockery.
18:25 His mood was a lot better than earlier.
18:28 "Lucas, whether I have the right or not is not up for you to decide.
18:34 After all, the position of artist-director was a role I rejected
18:38 before Charlotte gave it to you.
18:41 It seems that I know more about being a manager than you do.
18:45 Plus, I think the first thing you need to learn is how to be a man,"
18:49 Lucas interrupted.
18:51 "Regarding my position," said Richard, as if Lucas hadn't spoken,
18:56 "there's no one who can replace me.
18:59 With my qualifications and the amount of company secrets I know,
19:03 even if Charlotte were to choose someone to get rid of,
19:07 she may not necessarily choose me."
19:10 As he finished speaking, Richard hung up the phone.
19:14 He had no intention of following Charlotte's orders.
19:18 However, Lisa had overheard the entire conversation.
19:23 "The show has started. Do you want to watch it?"
19:26 "Of course. This is Emma's first appearance on an international runway."
19:31 "What does going on an international runway represent?"
19:35 Richard thought to himself.
19:37 "Well, just a simple look at all the email invites in Emma's inbox
19:41 is enough to answer my own question."
19:44 But this change had already taken place before she even appeared on the stage,
19:49 simply because JK's commercial was featuring this fresh, mysterious new face.
19:55 The thing that most viewers felt confident and excited for
19:59 was the fact that Emma had ignited the Asian trend in North America,
20:03 which was still going strong in the fashion world.
20:07 Richard and Lisa glanced at each other
20:09 before turning around to head back inside to the church.
20:13 Just then, they noticed an American man and woman squatting on the steps, smoking.
20:20 This normally wouldn't have been something to take notice of,
20:23 but Richard caught Emma's name being mentioned.
20:27 "How much money did you get from them?"
20:29 "Those people were quite generous.
20:31 I only told Gabby half the actual amount,
20:34 and he quickly agreed to give that model a push on the runway today."
20:38 "Gabby!"
20:40 Richard remembered that this was the name of the male model
20:43 that would be walking the runway with Emma.
20:46 "They want to push Emma on the runway?" he thought.
20:49 A worried expression crossed his face.
20:53 If Emma were to fall on the runway,
20:56 her international career would possibly be over.
21:00 Why is this male model willing to accept money to ruin Emma?
21:05 It was due to the current culture in the modeling industry.
21:09 Male models were treated differently from female models.
21:13 Male models were mostly employed part-time,
21:16 and not many of them achieved a high status in the industry.
21:20 Additionally, their attendance fees were miniscule compared to female models,
21:26 particularly the male models that didn't really stand out, such as Gabby.
21:31 Since he had been offered money, there was no way he could reject it.
21:36 "Richard, what are you in a daze about?" Lisa asked.
21:40 He was silent for a moment before asking, "Is Mr. Roberts here?"
21:45 "He's in the audience. Why?"
21:48 Lisa watched curiously as he strode toward the audience.
21:52 Eric was dressed in a dark blue suit, sitting in a corner amongst the audience.
21:57 Due to his attractive charisma and noble presence,
22:01 although he was sitting with some very important people in the fashion industry,
22:05 he still emanated an aura that could not be ignored.
22:09 Richard spotted the calm man, and he knew he'd laid eyes on Emma's ultimate support.
22:15 He quickly walked over and leaned down to whisper a few words in his ear.
22:20 Eric's gaze was originally cold and unapproachable,
22:24 but after hearing Richard's words, his eyes sharpened like an eagle's.
22:30 "Decide on an amount and negotiate with the man.
22:34 I don't care how much it costs," he instructed coldly.
22:38 "As for payback, we'll deal with it after the show is over."
22:42 Richard understood his intentions.
22:45 At that moment, money was the only foolproof solution.
22:49 "Even if we give a price now, will we make it in time?"
22:54 Gabby was Charlotte's backup plan.
22:57 Although the paparazzi had achieved nothing,
23:00 she wasn't going to let Emma get what she wanted.
23:03 "Just because I gave you the international runway,
23:06 do you really think I'm actually supporting you?"
23:09 Charlotte thought, as if speaking to Emma.
23:12 She gazed at the delicately designed watch on her wrist with a look of scorn.
23:17 She wanted Emma to know that if she could push her to the top,
23:21 she could also pull her back down whenever she wanted.
23:25 "Let's wait and see how our model embarrasses herself
23:28 in front of the whole world on J.K.'s runway right in the middle of London Fashion Week."
23:35 Time slowly ticked by.
23:37 Eric normally didn't care about incidents on stage.
23:41 However, because Emma was involved, he was slightly worried.
23:46 No one noticed him touching the mole on his ear,
23:49 which was a sign that he was nervous.
23:52 J.K.'s show had officially begun.
23:55 Accompanied by soothing classical music,
23:58 the two opening models appeared on the runway,
24:01 one from the left and one from the right.
24:04 A while later, Richard finally returned to Eric's side.
24:08 He slightly lowered his head, gesturing that the problem had been solved.
24:13 Even so, Eric could not put complete trust in the man.
24:17 "Have you warned Emma?" he asked.
24:20 "I'm not sure if Lisa found her."
24:23 Eric fell silent without another word.
24:26 He'd already done what he could do.
24:29 If he wasted any more energy trying to get backstage,
24:33 it could have a negative impact on his wife.
24:36 "I have faith that, even if she's faced with a problem,
24:40 she'll know how to deal with it," said Richard.
24:43 "After all, she's been wary of Gabby all along."
24:47 Eric couldn't focus on any words he was hearing, nor anything he was seeing.
24:52 "This wife of mine is someone I can never stop worrying about," it seems.
24:57 He really had to bring her into the arms of his own company
25:01 for him to be truly reassured.
25:04 After J.K.'s show, Emma would be able to advance
25:07 toward becoming an international model.
25:10 He believed that, judging by her talent,
25:13 it wouldn't take her long to become a supermodel.
25:17 Emma's finale is the 23rd sequence.
25:20 Richard gazed at the entrance to the church
25:23 and listened to the snaps of the camera shutters.
25:26 He suddenly realized how anxious he was.
25:29 He couldn't believe that even he would experience something
25:33 that could make him break out in a cold sweat.
25:36 "My little Emma," he thought, "stay strong.
25:40 You've already pulled through so many obstacles.
25:44 Do not fall on the international runway."
25:47 "It's not that I'm afraid you'll embarrass me.
25:50 I'm just worried about how long it would take for you
25:53 to regain your confidence and courage."
25:56 A moment later, a loud applause echoed throughout the church,
26:01 accompanied by shrill screams of excitement.
26:04 Eric and Richard both lifted their heads
26:07 to see that Emma and Gabby had made an appearance.
26:10 Emma was wearing a black V-neck dress
26:13 with a black mandala on the shoulder.
26:16 She radiated a dark and sensual aura.
26:20 "Beautiful," Eric thought. "She is too beautiful."
26:25 Her beauty immediately fell onto the eyes of everyone in the room
26:30 and left a deep impression on them.
26:32 She was unforgettable.
26:35 She completely overshadowed everything around her.
26:39 But Eric and Richard watched nervously as she walked out,
26:43 especially as the male model approached her side.
26:47 (light music)
