Chapter 97: Giving Him a Title
After all, Cecilia’s status in the industry was well–known. She was the final judge at major domestic and
international film festivals, and since her debut, she had hardly any scandals.
It was just as she grew older, many people began to discuss her personal feelings.
But she didn’t admit it personally, nor was there any solid evidence, so no one knew what it was really
like.
Spreading rumors and speculations in this way today was a heavy blow for Cecilia.
Removing her from the trending list would make people think she and the people behind her were
guilty, but responding directly would inevitably expose her private life.
No matter what it looked like, Cecilia had been set up by someone.
The development of public opinion was too fast.
Eagle Entertainment exerted pressure on the platform, but on the other hand, pressure was also
constantly applied.
This led to an increasing polarization in everyone’s discussions during the confrontation between the
two sides.
Some people believed Cecilia, seeing it as a conspiracy.
Some people were completely fooled, following the trend to discuss the financial backer behind Cecilia.
Chapter 97 Giving Him a Title
In the end, Sophia made a call to Cecilia.
Cecilia was so angry that she didn’t even eat.
Sophia spoke softly and gently:
“Mom, after all these years, shouldn’t we give Dad a proper title?”
“What? I was doing it for his own good, otherwise he would be watched by others whenever he went
out. And if I compromised, wouldn’t that mean I was admitting defeat?”
Cecilia was both angry and anxious, while Brycen was by her side, massaging her shoulders:
“I saw that my daughter was right, so I simply stepped in, didn’t that solve everything?”
I had face, I had dignity, I had money, what was the big deal?
“We’ve known each other for decades, seeing you being slandered by others, how distressed I was in
my heart!”
Cecilia sighed, leaning on his shoulder:
“I was a public figure. If you announced our relationship, it would be magnified a hundred times and
picked apart by others. I didn’t want you to be the subject of people’s gossip and speculation!”
Brycen laughed, “What am I afraid of? I haven’t done anything wrong, I’m not afraid of being talked
about.”
Cecilia was silent for a moment, then nodded.
Brycen simply picked up the phone and told Sophia:
“Don’t worry, your father will see the light of day soon!”
Chapter 97: Giving Him a Title
Very quickly.
A statement from the Cruise Group directly sent the names of Cecilia and Brycen to the trending list.
“Ms. Cecilia married Chairman Brycen twenty years ago, and their relationship has been stable.
Recently, there have been unfounded rumors exploiting Ms. Cecilia’s popularity to divert attention from
a scandal. Our company will pursue the relevant responsibilities.”
The signatures of Brycen and Cecilia were signed below.
Suddenly, this news exploded.
Those who spread rumors about Cecilia instantly deleted their accounts, and the trending topics about
her family also started to automatically disappear.
They originally just wanted to divert attention by using the popularity of the entertainment industry, but
who knew they would kick a solid iron plate!
Cecilia turned out to be the mistress of the Cruise Group, Brycen’s wife. They were simply
dumbfounded!
Moreover, the Cruise Group directly stated that this was a plot to divert attention, directly reigniting the
heat that had previously suppressed the Clement Group!
The comments section was also filled with rapid twists and turns:
“Back then, I just thought they were a good match, I didn’t expect they really were!”
“No wonder Mr. Cruise attended every award ceremony, it turned out he was accompanying his wife.”

“Didn’t anyone find the sudden withdrawal of the news about Mr. Clement’s affair surprising?”
“Did Mr. Clement think people in the entertainment industry were easy to bully? They were much
cleaner than you!”
“The practices of the Clement Group were really despicable, Mr. Cruise was angry and defended his
wife, confronting you directly!”
“The two scandals before and after, both involved the chairman, there’s simply no comparison!”
“Mrs. Clement’s rise to power was also quite fascinating, it seems like she and Mr. Clement are two
peas in a pod!”
***
The smoke had openly ignited between the Clement Group and the Cruise Group.
However, the behavior of the Clement family was despicable, and everyone scolded them until the
comment section was shut down.
the Clement Group.
The office was dead silent.
Kamden’s face was ashen and ugly, Ava was just done venting her
anger.
“Is this how you handle things? We spent so much money acquiring your company, and yet before
Eagle Entertainment even made a move, you’ve already backed down. What use are you to us?”
“Go and find a way to take down the news right now, I don’t want to see a single piece of information
about this scandal anymore!”
Chapter 27: Giving Him & Tile
Everyone below was hanging their heads in silence.
The people from the PR Department remained silent, let alone the director of the newly acquired Starry
Entertainment.
Their faces turned ashen, they didn’t even dare to utter a word. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
The company’s PR Department couldn’t help but speak up:
“Mr. Clement’s female secretary was blackmailing us for money. We had already given her three million
and she stopped causing trouble. It was the people from Starry Entertainment who insisted on
offending Cecilia.”
“It’s all over now. We’ve not only offended Eagle Entertainment, but also the Cruise Group. Now, our
Clement Group’s stock is falling as soon as the market opens…”
The people from Starry Entertainment couldn’t help but retort:
“We didn’t even know that Cecilia was Brycen’s wife. Her identity wasn’t even captured by the
paparazzi, let alone being able to suppress the matter with Mr. Clement. Surely, a bigger scoop is
needed!”
Ava’s face contorted with anger, she threw the cup in front of her onto the floor, shattering it into pieces.
“I had already suggested arresting that woman for fraud, yet you still gave her money. Who agreed to
this?”
The people in the PR Department looked at each other, then glanced down at Kamden.
Kamden’s face was gloomy.
All the women outside were just for fun to him, and once he had enough, he would dismiss them with
money.
Chapter 97: Giving Him a Title
This one was the most audacious, even daring to threaten him.
And the situation was out of control…
“Enough, do you want to make it even uglier?”
Kamden scoffed, and Ava reluctantly turned her head away, enduring in silence.
In the end, it was all trouble he had caused.
The always silent Pierce seemed completely detached from everything.
Even if the scandal over his head involved his own family, he still remained calm and composed.
The person from the PR Department glanced at Pierce, whispering:
“Mr. Clement, why don’t we take the initiative to apologize to the Cruise family? Reconciliation is much
better than a stalemate!”
Pierce’s eyes were pitch black, revealing nothing of what he was thinking.
Kamden nodded, “I guess that’s the only way. It would be best to have them cooperate in deleting their
explanations, and have your mom go with you.”
Ava abruptly stood up:
“I didn’t go, wasn’t that embarrassing enough?”
Cecilia was a lousy actress, but the man she married was no worse than herself. Moreover, she was
successful in both her career and love life. No wonder she dared to ignore me when she was chatting
with Sophia in the parking lot before.
