Chapter 1009 An Emergency A few pictures were taken from behind and aside, but no front views. Someone took them and posted them on her account. She only took them because she thought Triston was handsome and notified several famous talent scouts.
Those scouts had been in this industry for years and recognized Triston instantly. And the public comments went wild. Triston dating a new girlfriend became a heated topic.
Triston was one the most discussed men in Casier as the heir of the Lamberts. In the picture, Audrey was covered by a hat and a mask, so her identity remained unknown. But many people still recognized her clothes and accessories and suspected that it was her in the picture.
So far, no one in the industry had confirmed this conjecture. But Audrey knew it was a trick. They had to spend some hush money.
After she read the tweets, Kim called. â Have you seen the pictures?â
Audrey snorted. âWell, yeah. But it only says that Triston and I know each other. Big deal.â
The picture was taken from behind, and they didnât even hold hands.
Audreyâs optimism almost made Kim laugh. âDonât forget that you just signed an endorsement contract with Iris. There canât be any scandals exposed within three years, or else itâs considered a breach of contract. The liquidated damages are ten times the endorsement fee, which is unbelievably high.â
Before they signed the contract, Kim asked for her opinion on this clause, and she agreed to it without hesitation because she knew she would not be in a relationship in the next few years.
Audrey couldnât help but frown when she heard this. âWhat does the media want?â
The mention of this gave Kim a headache. He then gave her a number. â Three million dollars.â
Audrey was dumbfounded. âWho do they think I am? Some billionaire?â
âWell, you are a popular actress now.â Kim smiled bitterly.
While Audrey was worried, Triston called. She told Kim about his call and answered the phone.
Tristonâs teasing voice came from the other end, âI heard that the two of us are the hot trend on Twitter as a couple.
Thatâs rare.â
When he was dating Audrey, he had put a lot of effort into hiding their relationship for her career. He didnât expect they would be discussed as a couple on Twitter after they broke up.
Audrey was so mad at him. âShut up. How come you didnât even notice that someone was taking pictures? Itâs not like you.â
Knowing that Audrey was angry, Triston hurriedly comforted her. â
Donât be mad, sweetie. Itâs not a big deal. I got this, trust me.â
Audrey still wanted to say something. She was afraid that Triston would make it worse, but he hung up quickly. Now, she could only count on him to take care of this. Or she would have to let Kim bargain with the media.
