Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute

Chapter 47 Scheming B

Starry didn't add Lucia on Facebook. And she had deleted Dillon, Freddie, and so on from her

Facebook after the divorce.

So Starry was completely unaware of what was happening on Facebook.

She might never know if Izabella didn't tell her.

Starry was driving when Izabella sent the screenshot. She checked it only when she went to her villa.

Looking at the screenshot, Starry frowned slightly and said, "Whatever!"

Now, she wanted to settle Iris first.

Lucia was happy to see the thing that happened between Dillon and Starry no matter if it was real.

She just hated Starry.

Lucia was even a little pitied that Starry found the evidence of the plagiarism.

Thinking of this, her good mood was affected.

At this time, the phone in front of her suddenly rang.

She thought it was Kayla calling to gossip about Starry with her.

Lucia looked at it yet found that it was an unfamiliar number. She was in a bad mood and was very

irritable. So, she said impatiently to the phone, "Who is it?"

"Ms. Scott, it's me, Iris, we have..."

"I do not know you."

Lucia hung up the phone. She wasn't a fool, why would she talk to Iris now?

People would know that she was the one behind the scenes.

Iris's deletion of her apology tweets stirred an uproar, which lasted until more than 3 o'clock in the

afternoon. Then, Iris, who had been silent, tweeted again.

The contents were a bit unexpected. Iris was neither defending herself nor apologizing completely.

The post said, "I lied and I deserved it, but I can't let the real criminal get away with it. I thereby

sincerely apologize to Starlight. Miss Starry, I am sorry! Miss Lucia Scott, I hope you can apologize for

what you did too."

This time, Iris posted a video of a voice recording.

Before hearing the recording, many people scolded her for looking for a scapegoat.

However, after hearing the recording, public opinion changed drastically.

The content of the recording was that Lucia asked Iris to accuse Starlight of plagiarism and said that

she would hide people to hype it up, all that Iris needed to do was speak.

In the recording, Iris said that she was actually the one who imitated Starlight, but Lucia said that she

published it more than a year earlier than Starlight. So many years have passed, Starlight wouldn't

possibly have the evidence. So, Iris can rest assured, and that she will help Iris to the end!

At the end of the recording, Iris only said that she would think about it.

But people all knew Iris's decision.

The fire burned to Lucia at once. It was originally only a matter of online novels, but now, the upper-

class society was involved.

"Shit! Lucia is so disgusting! How did Starry offend her? Why would she be so vicious? If Starry hadn't

had evidence, her career would have been over!"

"Let me give you guys some information. Starry's ex-husband was Filip Pearson, the Chairman of the

Eternal Group. Lucia is the daughter of the boss of Scott Group. The Eternal Group and the Scott

Group have a lot of cooperation projects, the Scott family and the Pearson family had been friends

since generations ago. As for the relationship between Mr. Pearson and Ms. Scott, I don't think I need NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

to say it clearly?"

"What the hell! Lucia Scott is such a scheming bitch, isn't it? Starry and Mr. Pearson have long since

divorced. Mr. Pearson didn't want her so she blamed it on Starry. She is bullying the weak? Are those

young ladies from rich families sick?"

"I thought Iris was disgusting enough, but I didn't expect that there was a more shameless person

behind this! No, Lucia is not a human at all!"

"I've always wondered. Iris should be much weaker than Starlight both in capital and fame. Why could

she make such big news? But today I understand it!"

"Leave with me, Starry! Let those two disgusting people be together forever!"

"None of you think of Starry Bradley? When Starry was just divorced. Wasn't it said that Mr. Pearson

might be with his first love again? Combined with this incident, I think this has a lot to do with Ms.

Scott!"

...

In just half an hour, the topic "SchemingBLucia" had rushed to the top of the trending list.

When Izabella saw the news in her office, she almost burst out laughing.

After Iris gave Lucia away, the public started to think of all that had happened. They listed all the

trending topics related to Starry in the past six months and found that most of them were weird.

Starry was not a star. Although she was good-looking and was Filip's ex-wife. The frequency of her on

the trending topics was a bit too much.

Some careful people found that the channels posting and sharing negative topics of Starry were

basically the same ones as those who stood with Iris's accusation of Starry this time.

It was obvious that the person behind all these was the same one.

Edward was doing makeup. He was always paying attention to Starry's affairs. Seeing the latest news,

he shared an article written by a netizen analyzing the whole thing.

Edward had a lot of fans. And he was in showbiz. So, his movement instantly stirred up the internet.

The news went viral. Accusations of Starry, big and small, were all believed to be done by Lucia.

As the news went viral, not only Lucia but also Filip was scolded on the Internet.

The Scott family tried to handle it but in vain. Lucia panicked when she saw the criticism of her on the

Internet.

Frances had been paying attention to the plagiarism of Starry. She believed in Starry. And she was

happily surprised to know that Starry was actually a popular online writer. She had planned to ask Filip

to handle the matter for Starry if things went out of control.

Unexpectedly, this matter has developed to this point in just half a day.

Frances didn't like Lucia in the first place. Now, knowing that it was Lucia who kept bullying Starry,

Frances was so angry that she immediately asked Martha to call Filip and ask him to go back to the

Pearson residence this evening. Filip was full of anger in his chest. His mood turned worse when he

received the call from Frances.

Hanging up the phone, Filip raised his hand and loosened the button of a shirt, his expressionless face

oozing coldness, his eyes casual but sharp.

Austin pressed the document and said, "Mr. Pearson."

Filip glanced up at him, took the pen, and signed his name. "Cancel the dinner."

Saying that, he picked up the jacket and left the office.
