Chapter 393
Cassius tried his best to convey that he was an ordinary person and only wanted to live a normal life, but he couldn't do it. If he could, he had hoped to retire from showbiz in the future to avoid being in the limelight. However, he would continue doing flower arranging and cooking classes. He wanted to be an idol close to his fans.
Cassius's words were very sincere, but as he spoke, he suddenly stopped. He looked at the camera and said dauntlessly, "I asked Miss Charlotte if she would stop me like others, but she affirmed that I could say whatever I like. She saw me for the person that I am, not my fame or my appearance."
"There are some things I have to say. It's about the ins and outs of the industry. I don't know if I will offend anyone. But after this, I think it will be too late if I stay silent."
"The fan who committed suicide had depression. My team continued harassing her and in turn, my fans went on a witch hunt, too. Their aim was to create a massive controversy so companies would start withdrawing sponsorship deals and contracts. But they don't want to pay the penalty. As long as my team and the company promise that they would promote another artist, they wouldn't have to pay the penalty. Many companies have agreed to this."
"I don't blame anyone here as it's a cutthroat industry. But I do want to say that using an innocent fan as a pawn without a care for their life and suppressing other artists. Is this really all that is in the entertainment industry?"
"How can this be entertainment? Where's your moral compass? I know that you would do anything for money, so I refuse to be a part of you."
"You're welcome to sue me. I'm Cassius, and I accept lawyer's letters from any company."
After watching the video, Charlotte sent a thumbs-up emoji to Cassius, praising him for doing well. Cassius immediately replied, "I thought you would reprimand me. After all, I have stirred the hornets' nest for you."
"It doesn't matter. We must create a big scene since we had just entered the industry. You did a good job this time, so don't feel pressured."
"Thank you, Ms. Emerson."
"Call me Emerson. From today, I will be the person behind you and your agent, but I'm giving you free rein to make your own decisions."
"Okay, no problem."
After concluding the conversation, Charlotte stretched and fell asleep in Shane's arms. Now that the matter had been resolved, she could have a good sleep.
After putting down the phone, Cassius picked up his guitar and plucked a few notes. He found that he couldn't calm down after starting the live broadcast. This was something he didn't dare dream of in the past as his team would never allow this. But now it was different. He was independent and free, he could interact with his fans if he wanted.
Less than ten minutes after he started the live broadcast, the number of fans had increased exponentially from 10,000 to 300,000. Cassius's head was lowered as he played the guitar. When he looked up, he found himself on the home page, and many people were giving gifts.
He was a little confused. "Why are there so many people? I only had a few hundred thousand fans, didn't I?"
Immediately, there were fans explaining that many people came to this platform to watch his live broadcast. Although he only had a few hundred thousand fans, there had been a lot more since he spread the
news.
"I see." Cassius looked at the screen and noticed that his followers had also increased. He beamed, "That's good. I can livestream when I miss you guys in the future. By the way, do you have any questions for me today? You can ask me anything."
"What's the relationship between you and Charlotte?"
There were a lot of comments similar to this question.
The fans were most interested in this. Although law enforcement had stepped in to investigate the company behind Cassius, However, if Cassius escaped from the hands of that company just to jump from the frying pan into the fire, they would be revolted. Besides, Charlotte was young and beautiful.
"Oh, Charlotte, she is like a sister to me," Cassius answered truthfully. "If you're not convinced, I will show you our chat history from yesterday. She said she will be my agent, but she will be giving me more freedom to explore my interests. Later, I went to find her and asked her what will happen if I make a decision that adversely affects her interests. She wasn't really concerned."
"Ms. Moneybag is that generous?" There was an uproar on the screen.
"You may not believe it, but I am the new spokesman of her corporation. At the start of this controversy, she and her Planning Department calculated that it would be better to publicly back me than to terminate our contract. Moreover, their company did not have any business in showbiz, so everything just fell into place."
Cassius was fine about not coming clean to his fans. But as soon as he said it, their interest in Charlotte stirred.
If there was any commotion among the celebrities, the fans would rush to the front line immediately. Countless fans of Cassius started looking into Charlotte. Soon, her information was all over the place.
Of course.
Shane only allowed certain details to come to light, thus they were all good news that added on to her mysterious persona.
The daughter of Emerson Corporation who had come so far.
After knowing Shane, she showed her mettle by not turning her back on him when he gave up on NC. Both of them ran the company together, and she had been friends with many people in Shane's life. Even the matter of Zoe was revealed.
Praises were sung about Charlotte on the Internet.
They called her the beautiful lady boss who wanted to marry into a rich family but the opposite happened.
After a long sleep, Charlotte woke up and found that she was popular, so she created an account.
"I heard that you all want to be my children? Utterly ridiculous and stupid."
It was said in jest.
Charlotte was being witty.
Under Charlotte's comments, a group of people started calling her "mom."
Charlotte thought it was fun, so she began to chat with them. Now, she would not be lonely anymore. It was nice to post a message and chat with the netizens.
"Cassius's matter was solved smoothly. Not bad." Seeing that she was enjoying herself, Shane said mildly.
"I heard from Rick that after a phone call with you, everything started moving without a hitch. If it weren't for you, things wouldn't have gone swimmingly." Charlotte put down her phone and hugged Shane's arm. "I didn't want to trouble you, but in the end, I still needed your help."
"It's not good to rely on me?" Shane pursed his lips.
"How did you come to this conclusion? It's not that it's bad to rely on you, it's just that I don't want to be a bother to you," Charlotte said in a low voice.
How could she be a trouble?
Shane leaned over and whispered into her ears, "It's really troublesome when you turn down my help."
Charlotte realized that recently Shane had been a little more hot-blooded than usual. She immediately stopped him, "Don't, I still have to go to work." Shane was about to tell her to rest today when his phone rang.
Charlotte accidentally glanced at the screen, and there was one word on it-
Jackson.
