Chapter 1940: Angel is Afraid
Angel and Adelaide were startled, instinctively turning and walking to the staircase. Their faces paled as they pressed their backs against the wall, out of the camera's view. They could hear the commotion outside, Spencer's voice reaching them clearly.
Those who have done something wrong are bound to feel a bit guilty. Summer felt grateful towards Spencer deep down, and the reporters quieted down. She thought the matter had come to a close, but he spoke again, addressing the reporters, "Why was Sophia Violet, the director's niece, replaced at the last minute by Miss Summer? Are you all wondering if there is a force behind Miss Summer that surpasses the director?"
All microphones flocked to Spencer, as everyone was interested in this topic and eager for answers. And today, he was willing to speak. "So, let me first show you some surveillance footage," Spencer said calmly as he took out his phone.
Even Summer and Elisa were stunned. They focused on his actions, knowing that for the moment, he was on their side. Meanwhile, nearby, Angel and Adelaide, puzzled yet anxious, were hiding. What surveillance footage?
They cautiously peeked out half of their heads, looking towards the bustling crowd and seeing Spencer pull out his phone. Spencer turned the phone screen towards the reporters, showing them the footage of Sophia Violet slapping Summer!
The reporters expressed shock. "Oh my God, did Sophia Violet really slap that girl?!" "Heavens, a slap even before filming began."
Summer and Elisa only heard the sound and didn't see the footage. Summer couldn't help feeling a bit embarrassed. She looked composed, subtly biting her lip, her beauty evoking a sense of pity. Spencer retrieved his phone, stating, "There is no force surpassing the director, nor does it have anything to do with my brother. I didn't agree with the chaos in the crew, so I strongly requested a replacement. Otherwise, I would not act."
Upon hearing this, Summer's eyes showed a hint of shock as she looked at him again. Angel's chest tightened, thinking, he already has access to surveillance footage? Could this investigation possibly affect her too?
Hastily pulling Adelaide along, Angel left through the back door. She couldn't linger in this place even for a moment; she needed to calm down.
Summer could hardly believe that Spencer had done this secretively. Her perception of him had always been based on the tabloid news online, but she never expected him to have another side to him, a sense of justice.
Spencer then addressed everyone, "So, let's all disperse now. The Sophia Violet news should be enough for you to write about. Due to the sudden need for an actress, Miss Summer, with her acting dream and fitting appearance, was chosen for the role of the second female lead."
Finishing his statement, Spencer didn't look at Summer beside him. He was afraid of getting lost in those eyes again. Therefore, he took a step forward, and the reporters automatically made way for him. Andrew followed closely behind.
Elisa linked arms with Summer, who watched Spencer leave. The reporters gradually dispersed as well, showing tactfulness as they couldn't afford to smear Mr. Marsh for a meager sum and risk repercussions from the capital.
In the car leaving the scene, Angel gazed out the window, lost in thought. Adelaide, however, seemed burdened. "Spreading rumors is not the best way to handle this. If the source is traced, it could easily lead back to us."
Angel became even more anxious at her words. She turned to Adelaide, asking, "What should we do now?"
