The Hidden Marriage Relationship

The media were in a frenzy. What does Mason Mo mean by this? Does he have the intention to sign Lila Tang? Is this some kind of joke?

Whatever the explanation, the reporters no longer dared to latch on to Lila. Instead, they shifted all blame to Heaven Entertainment.

Like this, Heaven Entertainment's troubles began — and Rainy Mo's assistant was the one who had unintentionally started it. "If you can't even handle such a small matter, what else can you do? Let's wait and see how President Han will punish you!"

Lila was unfazed. Her expression was one of unexpected calmness. She changed her clothes and casually left the scene. Just as she stepped out of the side door, she spotted Mason's sports car parked outside.

"Get in."

Lila obediently boarded the car. She was exceptionally grateful for what Mason had done. "Thank you for today."

Mason's eyes slightly twitched as he let out a smirk, "Did you think I would allow someone to bully my newly-wedded wife in front of everyone?"

"Actually, I'm not worthy of your help. I intentionally allowed everyone to figure out who I really was," Lila explained apologetically.

Mason looked straight into the eyes of the person sitting across from him. "I know."

"It's just that, if you couldn't have thought of a better way to scheme against someone, you should have asked me. Sacrificing yourself to get back at someone, is a bit of a stupid move, don't you think?"

Lila: "..."

"Where should I drop you off?"

"Your home. Aren't we a married couple now?" Lila replied without hesitation. Since she had already made the decision, she was not going to take it back, nor regret it.

"Are you sure? Not only are we married...but tonight is also our wedding night!"

Lila blushed but nodded with certainty. "I've already prepared myself and I am very thankful that you did not reveal our relationship. However, from now on, I insist you remain neutral. I want to rely on myself to retrieve what is rightfully mine."

Mason did not insist. After all, it was rare to see a woman that did not use him as a stepping stone to benefit themselves. He decided to sit back and watch Lila show off her skills.

The couple set off. Not long after, Lila received a phone call from her manager, Mandy Long: "Lila, I have already found evidence of Rainy Mo's pregnancy. What do you want me to do with it? Also, the scene you caused at the jewelry show today has gone viral. People are condemning you all over the internet. What do you plan to do?"

"Mandy, are you still willing to stay by my side?"

"Why are you asking such nonsense?" Mandy mumbled. "Do you expect me to continue following that cheating couple?"

"Then release the statement I asked you to prepare earlier. But be warned, by doing this, you will be going up against Heaven Entertainment!"

"I'm not afraid!" Mandy exclaimed excitedly. "We should have done this sooner. I will go prepare the evidence now and release it before Ethan Han has the chance to respond."

Lila hung up and the car returned to its original peacefulness. Deep down, Lila was actually quite nervous. What did Mason think of her...?

"I..."

"No need to explain. Your conversation just now, I heard it all. However, I have one question… Have you always been this honest?" The car stopped at a red light. Mason took this opportunity to grab hold of her jaw, and he examined her with his eagle-like gaze.

"I am only honest in front of you and I intend for it to stay this way…"—Lila revealed her loyalty —"because I am afraid you may misunderstand and think badly of me."

Mason was surprised for a moment, before he continued speaking, "If I were you, I would be even more extreme!"

Mason must have guessed by now what was going on between Lila, Rainy Mo, and Ethan Han. Because of his reaction, Lila developed an appreciation for her new husband. She vowed to herself, no matter what was to happen she was going to remember this day and the promises she made to Mason Mo forever.

…

Meanwhile, Ethan Han was in disbelief as he received news of Lila's exposure on stage. Moreover, he also received a phone call from hf, notifying him of their intention to take Heaven Entertainment to court for breaching their contract. In an instant, Heaven Entertainment had gotten themselves into a heap of trouble while rumors spread all over the internet like wildfire.

Rainy was focused on the recording of Lila's performance on stage when she pulled Ethan towards her, "Look, Lila wanted to be recognized. She knew that the biggest difference between the two of us were our legs. She did it on purpose!"

"Rainy! Lila isn't like that. It's not like it's the first time she's substituted for you." Deep down, Ethan still trusted Lila.

"So what you're saying is that you trust Lila more? Don't be stupid Ethan! Now that this incident has happened, someone has to take the blame. Do you really want to lose this contract? Do you want to tell everyone that you were the one who asked Lila to substitute me? If that's the case, then we are doomed!"

"What are you suggesting?"

"Since you and Lila are getting married soon, she will no longer be a part of the industry. For the sake of Heaven Entertainment, you need to make an announcement. You need to tell everyone that you were unaware of this entire incident and everything was just Lila's attempt at creating hype; that's why she went behind our backs and pretended to be me." Rainy was completely throwing the blame onto Lila.

"I guess, under these circumstances, that is all we can do" Ethan nodded in agreement. However, just as he was trying to contact the head of PR, he received a call from his assistant.

"Quick, President Han, check the entertainment news headlines! Lila Tang's manager has just revealed some big news!"

Ethan quickly jumped online to search the headlines. To his disbelief, Lila's manager was already a step ahead of them. She revealed that Ethan had forced Lila to substitute Rainy multiple times in the past with comparison pictures of the two models as proof. She also complained that small companies often bullied people and revealed that Lila had been mistreated for many years.

In anger, Ethan quickly contacted Lila's manager.

"Mandy Long, are you crazy?"

On the other side of the phone, Mandy's laughter resounded. Calmly she responded, "I've wanted to leave this lousy company of yours for a long time."

"Ethan, this is definitely Lila's doing. Quick, let's cover it up by posting news of her creating hype!"

Without hesitation, Ethan immediately contacted his connections in the media and got Mandy's news taken down. He quickly replaced it with the news he had prepared earlier of Lila's attempts at creating hype.

In an instant, 'Lila Tang' and 'Heaven Entertainment' became the most searched terms online with mixed responses.

No one was aware of the relationship between Lila and Mason. So, compared to Lila, no one was brave enough to offend Ethan.

Lila definitely received the shorter end of the stick, attracting an unbelievable amount of insults online.

Just as everyone thought the tables had turned, the term 'Lila Tang substitute' suddenly jumped to the top of search rankings. Search results all led to the news Mandy had released earlier, revealing that Lila was the real victim…

Of course, Mandy's story had got out first and the netizens had already made their decision. Moreover, the fact that Lila had substituted Rainy so many times without causing any trouble and was continually being used became a hot topic online. The online community all agreed that Lila was indeed the victim.

In disbelief, Ethan picked up his phone and contacted his PR, ordering them to use more money to take down Lila's news.

At the same time, Mason was on the phone with the main news sources, "If the news of Lila Tang disappears from search rankings, then be prepared for your companies to close down."
