Chapter 71: Where’s Richard?
Without waiting for her to reply, Michelle’s lawyer questioned Klerene whose back rested on her chair, "Don’t you think Klerene will fall even more if you hire Ms. Selene Jones as your global ambassador?"
Klerene, who had been quiet throughout the whole meeting leaned forward and glanced between Michelle and Selene before she said, "Even before her scandal with director Jeunes, I was planning to have Selene be our global ambassador, alongside Michelle. But since you want to talk about the scandal, let’s talk about that instead. Is there any proof that she slept with director Jeunes?" She questioned Michelle’s lawyer.
Klerene was a businesswoman, and no one needed to tell her if she picked the wrong people for her brand, it was going to ruin her business. But she wasn’t a brainless netizen who would believe whatever she saw online.
After seeing Selene appear on TV the first time when the trailer of The Sinner was released, she recalled the young girl whom she wanted to endorse from the Harrison family, Anastasia. The both of them looked alike but she didn’t bother to make Selene uncomfortable by mentioning her lookalike.
Michelle’s lawyer gulped down his saliva when he heard Klerene.
"I’m not a stupid person to just believe whatever is posted on the internet," she said.
"You can also say the same thing in Michelle’s case. What if it wasn’t true?" Asked Michelle’s lawyer, trying to defend his client.
Klerene glared at the lawyer. "Are you blind?" She questioned, her tone low and cold.
Everyone was surprised by Klerene’s change of demeanor, especially Selene. This was the first time she had met the woman, and she loved her even more.
