Rebirth After Being Betrayed by My Husband (Lily and Ryan) novel Chapter 46

Chapter 46 

Finished 

Lily stepped forward with an air of confidence, her voice calm yet captivating as she addressed the gathered reporters. “Hello, everyone. I’m Lily, and I’ll be playing the antagonist in this movie,” Standing just behind her was Mia, her presence lending an air of authority to the moment. 

Excitement rippled through the crowd. At last, their curiosity was about to be satisfied. 

“Miss Lilyly, have you signed a contract with Marvellous Universe?” one reporter asked eagerly. 

“Yes, I have,” Lily responded with a composed smile. “And Sister Mia is my manager.” 

The questions came quickly after that. “Miss Lilyly, you’re incredibly beautiful. May we ask which designer created your gown?” 

Lily’s smile deepened as she replied, “This dress is by a new designer named LX. It’s her creation.” 

LX? The name was unfamiliar to the reporters, sparking even more curiosity. Who was this unknown designer capable of crafting such an exquisite gown? The murmurs of interest grew louder as they wondered about this mysterious talent. 

“Miss Lilyly, is it true that this is your first movie and that you’ve never acted before?” another reporter inquired. 

Lily glanced briefly at Rose, who was glaring daggers at her from the sidelines. If looks could kill, Lily might have been struck down right then. Suppressing a small laugh, she turned back to the reporters. “Yes,” she 

I’ve never been in any production said, her tone light yet firm. “This is my first time acting in a movie 

before.” 

A bolder question followed. “Miss Lily, you’ve been mentioned in a recent online post. What are your thoughts on that?” 

The atmosphere shifted slightly as the reporter glanced nervously at Mia, whose cold gaze warned them not 

to overstep. 

“The claims made in that post are completely false,” Lily stated firmly. “I attended the auditions for this role, and my selection was based solely on my acting skills–nothing else.” 

From the sidelines, Sierra watched with a dark expression. Narrowing her eyes, she subtly signaled a reporter, who quickly caught on. 

“Miss Lilyly, are you saying the rumors about you sleeping with higher–ups are untrue?” 

“Yes, they are entirely untrue,” Lily replied without hesitation, her calm demeanor unwavering. 

“But, Miss Lilyly,” the same reporter pressed, “if the rumors aren’t true, why would someone spread such claims about you?” 

Lily’s expression didn’t falter as she prepared to respond. The room waited in tense anticipation, eager to hear her answer. 

Lily’s sharp gaze locked onto the reporter, her expression calm but her eyes piercing. It was clear to her now —someone had sent this reporter with the sole intention of causing trouble. 

“So, you’re implying that anything posted online should automatically be considered the truth? How 

shound!” she said hartone calm wet cutting

The reporter wasn’t deterred and pressed further. “Then why would someone go out of their way to tarnish your reputation, especially since you’re not even famous yet?” 

The question made the crowd murmur in agreement. It seemed logical–if she wasn’t well–known, why would anyone bother to slander her? Unless, of course, the accusations were true. 

Another reporter chimed in. “Miss Lilyly, you’re a newcomer. You haven’t even started your career yet, so why would someone target you like this?” 

The crowd buzzed with speculation. 

“She probably did sleep with someone,” someone whispered. 

“Look at her. Doesn’t she look like the type to seduce someone for a role?” another commented. 

“Maybe she’s some rich man’s mistress,” a third voice added. 

Rose stood in the crowd, her lips curling into a smug smile as she soaked in the accusations being hurled at Lily. You thought entering the entertainment world would be easy? she thought with disdain. A shameless woman like you deserves this humiliation. 

Despite the chaos, Lily remained calm, even smiling faintly as she listened. By her side, Mia looked visibly furious, but she held herself back, choosing not to escalate the situation. 

Finally, the reporter’s voice rose again, pressing for an answer. “Miss Lilyly, do you deny the allegations? Did you or did you not sleep with someone to get this role?” 

Lily’s gaze swept over the crowd. Her lips curved into a calm, confident smile. “Let me ask you all a question,” she said, her voice steady and clear. “Do you think an artist under Marvellous Universe would need to sleep with someone to secure a role?” 

The crowd quieted. Everyone knew the answer to that question. Marvellous Universe was one of the most prestigious entertainment agencies, known for its stringent talent selection and reputation. The murmurs softened into an unspoken agreement: No, that wouldn’t make sense. 

But the reporter wasn’t ready to let it go. “Then are you saying you used the power and influence of Marvellous Universe to claim the role? Isn’t that still unfair?” 

He didn’t stop there. “Miss Lilyly, you’re a complete rookie with no prior acting experience. There were other talented contenders at the audition, like Miss Sierra, who have far more experience. Don’t you think taking this role away from someone more deserving is unjust?” 

“And let’s not forget,” he added, his voice growing louder, “this role is extremely challenging to portray. Don’t you think it’s unfair to the audience, who expect a skilled performance? Would they even accept someone with no experience as the antagonist?” 

The murmurs in the crowd grew louder. 

“She’s right. Why is a rookie taking this role?” someone said. 

“They should replace her with Miss Sierra!” another shouted.
