Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 388

For they knew, that once the footage was revealed, they would be in hot soup.

It was good enough if Suzy was the only one at fault because till then, she could simply say that she was mistaken and apologize.

However, Mr. Cortez stood on her side. He was the martial arts choreographer and planned the moves. It would sound absurd if he were to say that he was mistaken too.

Thinking about this, he cast an accusatory look at Suzy.

It was all her fault. She came up with this idea at the last minute in order to show off in Young Master Foster’s presence and to embarrass Lucy.

Well, Suzy got what she wanted, but what about the implication?

Suzy was nervous as well.

If Young Master Foster learned that she was trying to humiliate Lucy, she might not be able to maintain her role as the third female lead, let alone the second female lead.

At the same time, Mr. Cortez retreated without warning.

Somebody asked him at once, “Where are you going, Mr. Cortez?”

Mr. Cortez chuckled. “I got to go to the toilet. Stomach ache.”

“Um, okay.”

With that, Mr. Cortez hurried away.

Lucy watched as he fled and smiled coldly.

…

Two minutes later, at a corner near the CCTV control room.

Mr. Cortez hastily stopped an assistant who had just taken the tape.

“Harry, give me the tape.”

“Mr. Cortez, this…”

“Do you want to lose your job? You know how experienced I am and how much the directors in this industry look up to me. If you want to survive in this industry, you’d do better than to offend me, understood?”

The assistant felt trapped and confused.

Meanwhile, a firm voice rang out.

“So, Mr. Cortez, you came here to threaten Harry on the pretense of going to the toilet. Are you trying to destroy the evidence?”

Mr. Cortez was shocked.

When he turned his head around, he saw Lucy, Joel, Yuri, and the gang standing behind him.

His expression altered.

Yuri was fuming with rage at the sight of this scene.

He pointed at Mr. Cortez and scolded, “Salvador Cortez, I can’t believe you did this! Lucy told me just now that you might take the tape, and I even defended you, but I never imagined that you will… You! You piss me off!”

Yuri and Salvador had a good relationship. Although Yuri did not approve of the latter’s lifestyle, they were men and only cared about friendship loyalty instead of focusing on each other’s personal life.

Unfortunately, such a thing had to happen.

Mr. Cortez went pale, but it was too late for him to explain himself.

Suzy, who was at the back of the crowd, was struck with horror.

Lucy turned to Yuri and asked, “Director, can I prove my innocence now?”

Out of anger, Yuri puffed his chest and nodded.

“This incident wasn’t your fault. Rest assured that I’ll clear your name.”

He said this, not just for Lucy, but also for Joel.

Joel’s expression was icy while he regarded Suzy and Mr. Cortez as if he had seen a pile of trash.

“From today onwards, I don’t want to see these two in showbiz again.”

After that, he turned to leave.
