Chapter 2811
"Yeah, who would've thought we'd get paparazzied... How could it possibly have anything to do
with us? Dahlia's still bawling her eyes out over here. Maybe you should try cheering her up? I know,
right? She comes back home all accomplished, and the comment section just tears her to shreds
Oh, I see. But pulling the story now might look worse, you know? Those internet trolls will be
convinced it's Dahliaâs own publicity stunt, and that could hurt her fan base in the long run. Mr.
Harris, what if we just let the story sit for a bit? People online have the attention span of a goldfish.
Once some new gossip hits the fan, they'll forget all about that photo of you two.â
Sienna was painting Dahlia as the victim on the phone. Dahlia was quite pleased with the spin she
was putting on things.
âThat could work, but Mr. Harris, I'm still hoping you will think of Dahliaâs reputation. She's just
come back, her careerâs really taking off, and we can't afford a hit to her image.â
Dahlia was clueless about the phone call until Sienna hung up, then she was all over her asking,
"What did he say?â
âMr. Harris said to leave it be â he'll handle it. You don't think Mr. Harris will figure out we're the
ones behind the whole pap thing, do you?â
Dahlia bit her lip, worried Nolan might catch on, but she was pretty confident, saying, âI've already
paid that paparazzo a hefty sum, with another half a mil to come once it's all over? That should
cover his earnings for the year, right? He won't spill so soon, especially after the sob story you just
sold. If he's still hung up on our past dealings, he won't su Relax, will you? I need some space to
breathe.â
Sienna had made her sound like a damsel in distress, but those online critics we looking down their
noses at her.
Just thinking about it got Dahlia fired up. What did those nobodies know?
They had no appreciation for art. How dare they say she wasn't the top up-and-comin dancer in the
country?
Those other dancers they were hyping in the comments? She wouldn't even give them t time of day.
Back when they were all competing, those armchair critics didn't know the first thing about talent.
She had overcorne so many challenges to train abroad, learning the cutting-edge techniques, the
most flawless moves. What did those clowns know?
Nolan wasn't buying Siennaâs story. Even though he said he felt bad for Dahlia, his suspicions were
beyond his control. He went straight to the source and tracked down that paparazzo.
With his team of top-notch lawyers, he didn't need to get his hands dirty.

âWhat I want is for those photos to be pulled immediately, and don't let that pap off the hook.â
He wasn't a public figure, had no obligation to expose his private life, and this erossed the line once
too often. Nolan had had enough.
pap had
"Understood, Mr. Harris. The matter will be resolved within two hours, tops.â
Nolan's legal team was swift and efficient, led by the sharp Emrys, who got hold of the paparazzo's
number in no time.
The pap nearly jumped out of his skin; he was basking in his growing follower count and his soaring
online popularity.
Then out of the blue, a chilling voice came through his phone, âIs this Waller? Good, you're involved
in a rights violation against my client, and I'm issuing a warning. If you don't take down the photos
you've been spreading online we'll sue you for infringing on Mr. Harris's right to his likeness. I trust
you're not looking to break the law.â
Waller was smug, legs shaking with glee. He wouldn't take down those photos, what could they do
to him? Lawyers were all about scare tactics, he thought.
