Chapter 293 - Conflict Within The Crew



Robert\'s fatherly voice almost made Lilia believe that the man really didn\'t hang up the phone just now. But she\'s not that stupid. Lilia had no intention of deceiving herself any longer.

When Lilia mentioned Leila, she could clearly hear Robert\'s breathing suddenly turning chaotic. That man must be panicking and worried that Lilia suspected something. But this was not the time to discuss that matter. She promised herself that she would find out the truth after she finished filming.

A few minutes later, Lilia got into the car that was waiting for her. Clifford sat behind the wheel with his usual flat face. Lilia had heard that Clifford and the other bodyguards spent a day and night in the RV they were using to go to Arum Village. Then the man drove his RV back to the Widjaya Family home and parked it in the basement.

Lilia remembered this and automatically turned her head to look out the window. She met Jean\'s eyes, and saw the man made an understanding smile on his lips.

The RV was where they spent their first night together. Both Lilia and Jean were reluctant to just leave it. So the man deliberately put it where they could see it and kept it safe.

Three hours later, approaching 12 at noon, Lilia arrived at Magetan.

When Lilia got out of the car, her eyes were dazzled by the scorching sun. She raised her hand to cover the sunshine while narrowing her eyes. Lilia had slept all the way here, so now she still felt a little sleepy.

The car paused at the gas station to fill its nearly empty gas tank. But Lilia did not expect that Dina, one of her assistants, was waiting for her at the gas station.

Dina got into the car and was about to report something to Lilia. But she hesitated when she saw the woman\'s tired face.

"What\'s wrong?" Lilia asked the assistant. She could feel Dina\'s gaze ever since the young woman got into the car.

Dina didn\'t speak until Clifford started the car and they started driving down the highway. Dina finally said, "Sis Lilia, we have a problem with the film crew."

Lilia had just closed her eyes to rest when she heard it and opened her eyes again. She looked at Dina with a confused face, "What happened?"

Dina sighed and explained, "Someone intentionally spread the word that you asked for time off recently and made a fuss. Now the whole crew says you are using your connection to get special treatment."

Lilia frowned when she heard that.

"Even some of the supporting actors also said that you were the one who found the investors to fund the making of this film. They also said… " Dina paused for a moment with an expression full of conflict.

"What did they say?" Lilia urged in a calm voice.

Dina\'s body turned stiff when she saw Lilia\'s expression. Somehow, the woman reminded her of the angry figure of Jean. She continued with some difficulty, "T-They said that you had asked for time off during this period of time, so that you could go to accompany the film investor."

Lilia started laughing at the ridiculous accusation. However, it turned out that Dina had not finished talking.

"T-Then… they claimed that… the announcement you posted last night was fake news."

Lilia\'s laughter suddenly stopped when Dina delivered that part. The entire car was engulfed in a choking silence.

"Hmm... why did they say that?" Lilia asked in a flat voice.

"B-Because… maybe because Sis Lilia only took the cover of the marriage certificate. They accuse that it is a stolen photo and you are just trying to cover up the truth…" Dina\'s voice faded at the end of her sentence.

Lilia sighed as she ran her fingers through her hair. She recalled what she did just to make that post. Last night, Jean had deliberately asked his bodyguard to go to the Lakeside Villas and get their marriage certificates.

The bodyguard had already got their marriage certificate, but Lilia hesitated when she was going to take a photo of the contents. Considering how sensitive the identity of Jean Widjaya was, she finally chose to only photograph the cover of her marriage certificate. But this was precisely the reason for outsiders to attack her.

Lilia could already guess who spread this fake news among the crew and provoked them. Shirley must have really been busy destroying her reputation last night!

"Um…Sis Lilia, there\'s one more thing. Harold told me this morning that he would come to Magetan in the afternoon." Dina said carefully.

She felt uneasy when she saw the icy cold expression on Lilia\'s face. In her heart, Dina was constantly scolding Shirley for causing trouble for Lilia. If she had the chance, she would happily beat up that arrogant actress!

Even though it was already early November, the sky in Magetan still showed a pleasant warmth. The blue sky seemed to dispel the fog in people\'s hearts.

Around half past one in the afternoon, Lilia arrived at her hotel. She got out of the car just as the crew was having their lunch break. Not a few actors and film crews saw her appear.

"Look, she\'s back."

"You said that Lilia has been in this industry for a long time, is it true that she has strong supporters? Didn\'t she just make her debut a few years ago? If so, why has it only been revealed now?"

"I\'m sure no one knows about this! If it weren\'t for the investors who came yesterday, I guess they would have kept it a secret! I heard from Shirley that the biggest investor in this film, Miss Sasha Hiroshi, has a good relationship with Lilia!"

"Ah, really? Didn\'t they fight in the meeting last time?"

"They must be just pretending to hide their true relationship! Just look at how Miss Sasha first came here. Their way of speaking was really friendly!"

"I really didn\'t expect Lilia to hide that side of herself."

"You\'re too innocent, that\'s all! Did you forget that Lilia had asked for leave beforehand, and Mr. Louis always agreed to it easily? If Lilia doesn\'t have a strong connection, how can someone as firm as Mr. Louis agreed to her request every time?"

At this time, Lilia was standing by the car\'s door and holding her suitcase. Her assistant Dina stood behind her. Hearing an evil whisper not far from there, Lilia pressed her lips together. She turned around and gave them a sharp look.

The supporting actors and crew there felt a little guilty when they caught Lilia\'s glare. They lowered their heads and were about to leave when they heard a cold voice.

"What nonsense were you talking about just now?"

Lilia let out a long sigh when she heard that unwanted voice. She didn\'t really care what those people were saying, but William suddenly appeared like a knight. Worse yet, the man openly approached her.. Lilia\'s expression was colored with disgust as she stepped back.
