Chapter 16

Katie Adams’s call was immediately highly appreciated by the people around her.

“Teacher Wen, I support you! You really should find out the truth. If you’re wronged, that’s fine. But if it’s true, then I’m with you. You must stand up for your rights!”

“Come on, Teacher Wen! We’ll go with you to confront Simone Milton and Alberta Arthur. We must make them tell the truth!”

Several extras instantly came together and sided with Katie Adams.

“Thank you, I really appreciate your help so much! Without you, I wouldn’t have had the courage to do this!” Katie Adams took the opportunity to express her gratitude to these supporting actors.

The grateful extra, upon seeing Katie Adams’s delicate and fragile appearance, felt as though a flash of inspiration struck him. He became even more determined to ensure that Katie Adams received justice.

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Katie Adams concealed her smile by wiping away her tears. Then, she led everyone to go find Simone Milton to demand an explanation.

At this moment, Simone Milton was acting opposite Alberta Arthur on stage. Both of them performed excellently, with a perfect balance between intensity and relaxation, making the performance truly enjoyable to watch.

After leaving the stage, Simone Milton hadn’t even sat down yet when she was surrounded by a group of extras. These extras were surrounding Katie Adams, with very hostile looks in their eyes.

Simone Milton didn’t even need to think to realize that it was definitely yet another scheme by Katie Adams. All she didn’t know was what this woman planned to do this time.

Thinking this, she also spoke out, “I have no idea. Why have you all stopped me here? Surely, it’s not to discuss the plot with me, is it?”

On the surface, her words seemed to be addressed to everyone, but in reality, they were meant for Katie Adams.

“Of course not. We’re just here to accompany the teacher and demand an explanation.” One of the extras spoke up first, staring at Simone Milton with hostile eyes.

“Demand an explanation? How have I offended you this time? Again, do you want to frame me, just like last time?” Simone Milton sneered, staring at everyone with a sharp gaze.

“You!” Upon hearing Simone Milton say that, the extra who spoke up first was instantly at a loss for words, not knowing what to say next.

Indeed, Simone Milton was wronged last time, and she was even publicly humiliated. If she’s wronged again this time, that would be terrible.

After all, judging by the director’s previous personality, he would never allow anyone who causes trouble to remain part of the crew.

For a moment, all the extras present stopped in their tracks, eager to surround Simone Milton.

Seeing these extras looking fearful, Katie Adams, surrounded by them, frowned slightly, thinking to herself that these extras were useless.

Sure enough, I still have to rely on myself! With that thought in mind, Katie Adams took a step forward and stammered, “Miss Milton… I… I just wanted to ask you something…”

It seemed that she found it difficult to voice such accusations, so her face showed obvious hesitation.

At that moment, Alberta Arthur, who had also just finished her performance, saw the hustle and bustle over there. Since Katie Adams was there as well, she walked over.

“What happened? Katie Adams, what are you doing here?” Alberta Arthur looked at Katie Adams in confusion, not understanding what was going on.

Upon seeing Alberta Arthur arrive, Katie Adams’s heart skipped a beat. For a moment, she wasn’t sure whether to continue questioning Simone Milton.

After all, if Alberta Arthur were present, and if she handled things improperly, it could easily lead to Alberta Arthur thinking she’s irresponsible. In the end, this could cause Alberta Arthur to feel less affection for her.

Seeing how the extras present were itching for action, Katie Adams knew that if she simply ignored them this time, it would be harder next time to incite those completely mindless extras.

What should I do? Katie Adams couldn’t help but ask herself.

Just as it was unbearable to watch Katie Adams remain silent for so long, the supporting characters around her stepped forward instead.

“Teacher An, we’ve come here to demand an explanation from you!” The extra actor spoke carefully.

“Demand an explanation?” Upon hearing this, Alberta Arthur frowned. She instinctively thought that perhaps Simone Milton had once again bullied Katie Adams. “Could it be that Simone Milton has bullied you again?”

“Oh, please don’t say that! I’m completely confused myself! Young Master Alberta, if you keep talking like this, I’ll think you’re trying to deceive us!” Simone Milton instinctively took a step back upon hearing Alberta Arthur’s words, her expression exaggerated.

Katie Adams felt hatred in her heart toward that uncontrollable extra. But on the surface, she maintained her usual weak and delicate expression.

“It’s like this, Alberta… I overheard people on the set saying that you and Miss Milton… I couldn’t help but come and ask if it’s true that Miss Milton has feelings for my boyfriend…” As Katie Adams said these words, she looked at Alberta Arthur with tearful eyes.

At this point, she had no other choice but to explain things, no matter how difficult it was.

Fortunately, her initial efforts to gain Alberta Arthur’s favor were so successful that, when Alberta Arthur heard what she said, she wasn’t angry at all. In fact, she even felt pleased by her jealousy.

Albert Arthur gently hugged Katie Adams, smiled, and kissed her cheek. “You know, you’re being way too paranoid. How could I possibly have anything to do with such a vicious woman? Someone must be spreading rumors without any reason!”

Hearing this, the extra actors refused to agree. One of them stepped forward and said, “Teacher An, are you saying that we’re spreading rumors without any basis? But clearly, people have seen you and Teacher Milton together in a mysterious manner!”

The person who said this was a reckless young man who clearly didn’t know how to speak appropriately depending on the situation.

Albert Arthur’s previously smiling face froze. He glared displeasedly at the actor who had spoken up. Then, he turned back and explained things gently to Katie Adams.

Even to prove to Katie Adams that he had no feelings for Simone Milton at all, he went straight up to Simone Milton, determined to humiliate her thoroughly.

However, Simone Milton saw through his intentions perfectly. Or rather, through their interactions over these days, she had come to understand Alberta Arthur’s character very well.

So, Simone Milton stepped forward before Alberta Arthur and said to Katie Adams with a smile, “Miss Wen, don’t worry at all. I have absolutely no interest in your man!”

After expressing her attitude, Simone Milton rolled her eyes and added unnecessarily, “As for your man who came to bother me… I’d advise you to keep a better grip on him! I don’t accept just anyone!”

After saying that, Simone Milton even symbolically pushed Alberta Arthur toward Katie Adams.
