She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 239

Luna was you?"

letting her imagination run wild when she heard a familiar voice call out to her, "Ms. Carter? Ms. Carter, where are

She put away her phone and turned around. She saw the young producer and her fan, Otis Wilde, holding an umbrella and looking around for her. She quickly stood up. "Mr. Wilde, I'm here."

Otis looked at her in surprise. "Ms. Carter, your outfit is quite.., down-to-earth. I almost didn't recognize you." Then he added sincerely, "Real actors truly embody their roles. They can make people forget their original identities." "Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Wilde," Luna said with a smile. "You're so busy, yet you still took the time to come here. Is it because of the trending topic?"

She was the only lead in this film. Any negative news about her could impact the movie's success. Her chance for a comeback hinged on this project.

It was Otis' first time as a producer. If this movie failed, his career would probably end as well.

Therefore, these negative trending topics had a huge impact on Luna, the movie, and the entire production team.

"Yes,"

the chubby Otis said, adjusting his glasses without a hint of pessimism. "Since you had to film in the morning, I didn't want to disturb you. Instead, I discussed things with the others and came up with a preliminary crisis management plan. I'd like to talk to you for your opinion." Luna nodded. a nodded. "I understand. Please go ahead." Otis spent a few minutes explaining the plan in detail.

Luna listened intently, but after a moment, she frowned slightly. "As the lead, I have an obligation to support the movie's promotion. However, Mr. Donovan is an outsider in the industry and has already contributed significantly to the production team. I believe it would be best not to involve him.' Otis said,

"Ms. Carter, you are right. Mr. Jackson is currently discussing this matter with Mr. Donovan. If he doesn't agree, we will definitely respect his opinion." nodded. "That sounds good." She looked up at the sun. "It's getting late. Let's go eat and see what Mr. Donovan has to say."

Luna Ten minutes later, the two of them walked into the Donovan house. As soon as they entered, they saw that there were already seven or eight dishes prepared on the round table in the middle of the central room. They were all fragrant and delicious, emitting an alluring fragrance. Jaden and Tommy stood at the side and discussed something in a low voice.

The first thing Luna did when she entered was to see what they would have for lunch.

There were cashews, foie gras with gingerbread toast, barbecue ribs, cabbage salad, and so on. Her mouth watered as she looked at the dishes. But it wasn't time to eat yet.

She looked at Jaden and said apologetically, "Jaden, has Mr. Jackson told you everything?

"It's my fault. If I wasn't a celebrity, those photos wouldn't attract any attention.

"No matter what happens next, I won't implicate you."

Jaden's attitude was no different from usual. He took off his apron, took off his gloves, and placed them on the shelf at the side. He said unhurriedly, "You're also a victim, and as a celebrity, these rumors will hurt you even more, so you don't have

to feel sorry.

"Let's work together to reverse the situation. That's the most important thing for now."

Luna didn't expect that at this point, Jaden was still thinking for her.

One had to know that although this scandal had a huge impact on her, she had a professional team and management company, as well as money, fame, and a large number of fans. She was experienced in dealing with public relations crises. In comparison, Jaden was just an ordinary person from an ordinary family. He had almost no power to fight back in the face of such a a crisis.

"Thank you," she said sincerely. "Thank you for understanding"

Jaden smiled. "Everyone, take a seat. Let's cat.'

Seeing that he was so calm and reasonable, everyone relaxed and took their seats.

Jaden looked around at everyone. "I have no intention of asking about things that don't involve me.

"About the part that involves me, I have two opinions."

Everyone sat up straight and listened attentively.

Jaden said, "Firstly, I know hope that I can officially be the male lead of this movie. That way, you can treat the photos online as sulls to resolve the scandal.” Everyone looked expectant as this was the best solution

didn't accept it, the production team could could only find a male lead at the last minute to reshoot similar scenes.

However, this movie was about to wrap up. If they found someone to reshoot it at the last minute, the effect would definitely not be that good.

Luna's heart raced as she listened. It would be romantic if Jaden was willing to be the male lead and appear on the movie screen with her. 'Would he agree?' However, the next second, Jaden said, "I understand the difficulties of the production team, but I can't accept it."

Luna sighed slightly. She had kind of expected this answer.

The others were also disappointed and began to think about actors who could take on the role.

Unexpectedly, Jaden continued, "It's okay if I can not show my face. I mean, if I only need to show my back or shoot from a distance. How do you think?"

Tommy's eyes lit up. Before anyone else could speak, he slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "That's perfect! This movie focuses on an artistic concept. If it revolves around feelings and other people, it won't be interesting if everything is too obvious.

"If the male lead only appears in a few lines, back views, and silhouettes without ever fully showing his face, it will not only preserve the original meaning and atmosphere of the movie but also create a sense of mystery that sparks the audience's -imagination." He glanced at Jaden and then at Luna, feeling the undeniable chemistry between them. He longed to edit their moments together into the movie but hesitated to voice his thoughts. Luna was secretly happy. "Mr. Wilde, what do

you think?"

Otis was obviously very satisfied. "I think this is very good. It's killing two birds with one stone."

Jaden smiled and said slowly, "Secondly, these rumors about my relationship with my sister are spreading, and I want to address them personally. So, please don't interfere; I'll handle it myself" Everyone thought to themselves that it was naturally better if they did not interfere.

However, they wondered if Jaden could handle those paparazzi with background and resources, as Jaden was just an ordinary person and the Donovan family wasn't that rich.

Luna was surprised but didn't try to dissuade Jaden. Instead, she nodded and said, "Alright, we respect your decision. If you need anything from us, we'll do our best to help." Jaden smiled and poured wine for everyone. "Then let's be patient for now. Cheers."

After lunch, Jaden went upstairs and called his lawyer. "Hello, Ryan. This is Jaden. I need your help with a lawsuit."
