Chapter 383: I Am Not A Pornstar
Briena hurried out of the movie screening before others could catch up with her. The movie was over, and everyone would be coming out at any moment. She didn’t want to face the reporters still standing outside the venue—some of whom had been watching the film in a separate screen reserved for the press.
"Ana, do something," Briena said as she rushed toward the exit. "Is there any other way to leave this place?"
"We can go through the back exit. I’m sure no one’s there except security," Ana replied, pulling out her phone. "I’m calling the driver to come to the back gate."
Both of them rushed toward the back exit, choosing to take the stairs, as that route was less likely to be crowded. When they reached outside, they spotted the car waiting—but to their dismay, there were fans present. The moment the fans saw Briena, they rushed toward her, trying to take pictures and ask for autographs.
The fans had no idea what horror their favorite star was running away from.
Briena quickly collected herself, forcing a smile as she waved at them. She couldn’t let anyone see the shame she felt after watching herself on screen.
Security stepped in to hold back the fans as Briena slipped into the car. Still, many of them had already taken pictures and videos of her. It was obvious she was trying to escape—like someone scared, or even broken.

The movie was a hit, and everyone congratulated the main stars. As expected, it was set to become another period blockbuster from NovaFrame. But while the film’s success was celebrated, it came at the cost of Briena’s image—and possibly her entire career.
The Fords and Browns exited their screening halls, their expressions sullen. Amelia and Irene spotted Clara and Jay Ford, and their faces turned even more bitter. Neither mother nor daughter spoke to Clara, choosing instead to leave quickly. They didn’t want to be seen with Briena—if she was still around.
Clara, on the other hand, was deeply worried about her daughter. She turned to Jay. "We need to find Briena. I have to ask her why she would take on such a role."
