Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 547

Sophia had no idea that the consequences of Alexander's actions would fall on her instead.

It didn't rain much in Jadeborough in September, so the showers only lasted a while.

When the rain stopped, Sophia and Alexander carried on with their wedding photoshoot.

Nina had packed up and left the mansion that night, and the news spread like wildfire. Before long, the entire film crew of Petite Youth learned that the couple was having their photos taken there.

Naturally, someone like Alexander was a magnet in the entertainment industry.

Given that Samuel was Alexander's childhood friend, anyone who could be associated with the latter certainly needn't worry about funding ever again.

Of course, Ross was aware of this, so after Nina left, he specifically warned the crew not to sneak around the mansion. Otherwise, they would face the same fate as Nina for crossing the line.

From that, this incident that involved Nina spread instantly, and the entire entertainment circle now knew that she had been kicked out of the film crew after trying to seduce Alexander—and failing.

People also heard that Linda Lockhart, the young lady who eventually replaced Nina as the second female lead, was from Specter Entertainment.

It didn't take a genius to know that Specter Entertainment belonged to Sophia.

News of Nina trying to seduce Alexander made waves.

Thanks to Ross' warning, all the remaining crew members with hidden motives took Nina's fate as a lesson and behaved themselves.

Petite Youth was supposed to be wrapped up by mid-September, but due to the sudden change in the second female lead actress, the crew had no choice but to reshoot many scenes.

Still, that wasn't the main point.

More importantly, some fans of the cast couldn't stop wondering what had happened.

Having only debuted three to four years ago, Nina wasn't exactly famous, but that didn't mean she had no fans.

It wasn't long until her followers found out about her getting expelled from the cast.

Nina had already kept silent ever since she was suddenly chased out of the mansion. Now that her fans were beginning to cause a stir, she practically vanished into thin air.

The affair didn't gain much traction online at first, but a few days later, fans of the other cast members soon joined in too.

They were livid that their idols had to go through all those retakes with the new actress because of Nina, and the movie's release would now be postponed to the end of the month.

The ordeal eventually became one of the top three trending topics.

When Sophia and Alexander were done with their photoshoot and returned to Jadeborough, it was Katherine who informed Sophia about this.

Katherine was about to go into labor any day and had been staying at the hospital, with Joshua halting some of his work to keep her company.

The woman had nowhere else to go and nothing better to do, so she would spend all day scrolling on her phone.

That was how she came across the headline “Second Female Lead of Petite Youth Replaced” and tapped on the link. She then grew so infuriated after reading the article and tagged Nina immediately.

Those fans didn't care about why Nina had been replaced at all. They discovered that Linda was a newcomer whose only work was a movie that hadn't even been released. Moreover, Linda was signed under Specter Entertainment, so the fans jumped to the conclusion that Sophia had taken advantage of her connections with Alexander and Samuel to let Linda take over Nina's role by force.

Those fans bashed Sophia, accusing her of being so shameless that she would do anything for money.

Of course, some netizens who were more reasonable focused on why Nina had been replaced.

Boiling with rage, Katherine logged into her official account and wrote a Tweet while tagging Nina: Are you okay? As if bothering others at the mansion wasn't enough, now you wanna waste people's time online too?

The post seemed ambiguous, but those who were part of the film crew somewhat knew why Nina had

been ousted.

They were supposed to wrap up soon but ended up having to retake many scenes because of the stupid woman. On top of that, some cast members despised her, so they went into their alternate accounts to Tweet about her: LOL! Nina thought Mr. Xenos would be into her, but he threw her out instead. Now, she's trying to gain sympathy by playing the victim online. What a pretentious b*tch.

Katherine Retweeted the post immediately after coming across it.

By the time Sophia realized it, Katherine had already engaged in a series of arguments on Twitter.

Jonice was so exasperated that she could only call Sophia. “The trolls will only keep coming after Kath at this rate, Ms. Yarrow. And what about the company's funds? It'd be even harder for her to get work after she returns from maternity leave...”

Jonice was speaking from a professional manager's point of view. She only wanted the best for Katherine.

Upon reading Katherine's Tweets and hearing Jonice's laments, Sophia couldn't help but chuckle. “It's fine. She's about to give birth. Let her do whatever she wants.”

She then paused briefly before adding, “I have the funds.”

Hearing that, Jonice didn't know what to say anymore.

She suddenly felt that even if Katherine were to disappear for three years and reemerge, there would

be no need for her to worry about funding. After all, with someone like Sophia as her support, she had all the resources she needed.

As a manager who had worked for fifteen years, Jonice often came across artists who made it big after establishing connections with powerful figures in the industry—but never did she expect the same to happen to her. This was the best connection one could ever ask for.

With how close Katherine and Sophia were, they would probably never part ways even if Alexander and Sophia were to get divorced one day.

There was no denying that Katherine had an impeccable eye when it came to making friends.

With that in mind, Jonice hung up the phone quietly, promising herself that she would never bother with Katherine's little antics anymore.

There's no support more powerful than the one she has now, anyway. I should just shift my focus to Linda.

After hanging up, Sophia noticed that Joshua had sent her a text message.

She glanced at it before leaping out of the couch. “Alexander! Katherine's going into labor.”

Alexander, who was busy preparing lunch, put everything down and walked out of the kitchen immediately. “I'll go get changed.” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Sophia nodded. “Okay.”

Despite appearing composed, she was rather worried.

People often said childbirth was akin to walking a fine line between life and death.

Kath's always had low pain tolerance. I can't imagine how she's doing now.

As she spaced out for less than two minutes, Alexander reappeared in a clean set of clothes.

He took her hand and felt sorry for her upon realizing how cold it was. “Don't worry. Katherine will be fine.”

Sophia squeezed the man's hand in return and smiled faintly. “Yeah. She'll be okay.”

Knowing she was anxious, Alexander said nothing more and led her to the carpark. Then, they rushed to the hospital where Katherine was.
