Chapter 305 - Cries on TV 2

The host sighed sympathetically and handed her a tissue box from the side, saying, "Perhaps it's just a misunderstanding. I think maybe Prince Al Nadeem will return to your side after some time."

Faiza nodded vigorously, "You're right. Prince Al Nadeem was deceived because he saw her piled up with lies. I believe that when her cover is blown and the truth is revealed to the public, he will know who has always sincerely cared for him!"

Laila watched the TV, her lips curling into a subtle, meaningful smile.

Plagiarism was indeed an issue that needed to be addressed. Yes, she had plagiarized, but her plagiarism was entirely different from what they were accusing her of. She would certainly not bear the black mark of Faiza's allegations, not to mention that they were baseless accusations. Even if they were true, they had nothing to do with Prince Al Nadeem.

"That idiot prince is really annoying," she muttered to herself, tapping her fingers rhythmically on the table.

In situations like this, her first instinct was not to hire a lawyer for defamation but to think about how to benefit from the situation even more.

After watching this episode, Laila believed that some people would be swayed by Faiza's words, thinking that her success was solely due to the Moran Media Group's advisors. Others would believe that she was simply spreading baseless rumors.

In any case, with conflict came debate, and with debate came attention. When the discussion revolved around her, her exposure soared to new heights. With this, she could use the opportunity to promote her movies more effectively.

So, what could she do to capitalize on this situation? She propped her chin on her hand, contemplating.

"BOSS, On TV..." Demi burst into the room, intending to inform her about the unfavorable situation on television. To her surprise, Laila was already watching it. "These lies are so malicious, and they're damaging our company's reputation. Shouldn't we protest to the TV stations?"

Laila waved her hand dismissively, "It doesn't matter; let them make noise." She spoke as if the chaos outside were just a bubble that could burst with a sneeze.

"But, BOSS..." Demi couldn't understand her boss's thought process. Faced with such accusations, shouldn't she be furious? If it were her, she would have been livid!

"Don't worry; it's fine." Laila smiled, "Go make some tea for me."

"Alright..." Demi could only temporarily leave. Since the boss said it was fine, maybe it really was. Perhaps she was overreacting? After all, despite the uproar, they couldn't erase her numerous achievements in the past. There should still be many intelligent people who could see through this, and that's how she consoled herself.

Unfortunately, there were indeed many intelligent people, but there were also plenty of misled individuals, not to mention some opportunists among the intelligent ones. As a result, Laila's "plagiarism scandal" spread like wildfire the day the TV program aired.

"I used to wonder how someone could be a genius like that, but it turns out someone was helping behind the scenes!"

"Ah, the benefits of being rich. As long as you give money, you can easily elevate someone to genius status."

Such comments filled various corners, from school classrooms to online forums. Even the company's website had received harsh comments from people who believed they had been deceived.

Reporters once again surrounded the company, and employees came and went in a state of anxious confusion. They feared that any day they would hear news of the company's closure.

One talk show and interview invitation after another found their way to Faiza, and she tirelessly recounted her pitiful love story and Laila's sinister motives on these programs.

"Laila, if we don't do something soon, people will believe these accusations, even if they're false," Louise found Laila and suggested that she accept one or two interviews to alleviate the dire situation they were facing.

"It's okay, let them make noise," Laila repeated the same phrase as if the chaos outside were nothing but a bubble that would disappear with a sneeze.

But even the lowest-ranking cleaning staff in the company could see that the company was going through a major crisis. If not handled properly, it could deal a fatal blow to the company's future.

"It's not just a matter of noise now; quite a few fans have gathered outside the company, hoping you'll come out and explain. If you don't want to do it, how about letting me hold a press conference on your behalf?" Louise proposed.

Laila set down the documents in her hand and smiled, "Louise, you're too anxious. Relax a bit; things aren't as complicated as you think."

Louise forced a smile, "I wish I could have the confidence you have, but if you see what's happening outside, it's already in a terrible state. Even within the company, there are signs of unrest." If this continues, it might even shake the company's foundations. She couldn't understand where her boss's confidence was coming from. Was it because of her youth, or did she not realize how dire the situation had become?

What she didn't know was that Laila not only wasn't afraid of the commotion, but she had also been working behind the scenes to add fuel to the fire. She wasn't just thinking; she was waiting for the situation to continue to escalate until the topic evolved to a higher level. Only then would she step forward and reap the rewards of victory.

In the future, she had seen and played with too many publicity stunts. By that time, the public had become too savvy to easily believe in entertainment news. But now was different. The undeveloped masses still possessed pure hearts. This was a good thing, as it allowed her to be the first to influence them and successfully achieve her desired effects.

As predicted, the outside world followed her expectations. Faiza's constant attacks and the increasing influence and debate led more people to pay attention to the matter.

The situation brought chaos to the external environment and began to sow discord within the company. Fortunately, Louise managed to quell the turmoil for the time being.

However, she knew that even if this turmoil subsided for now if Laila continued to refuse to step forward and offer an explanation to the outside world, the internal unrest might erupt again at any time. By then, it might be difficult to control, even for her.

She couldn't understand what was going on in her boss's mind. Did she intend to watch her handcrafted movie empire crumble under baseless rumors?
