Chapter 4 Four

Meanwhile, Zack was in disbelief as he received news of Zuri's exposure on stage. Not only that, at the moment, he also received a phone call from ZK, notifying him of their intention to take Chi Long Entertainment to court for breaching their contract. In an instant, Chi Long Entertainment had gotten themselves into a heap of trouble while rumors were spreading all over the internet.

Avery was focused on the recording of Zuri's performance on stage s she pulled Zack towards her, ''Look, Zuri wanted to be recognized. She knew the biggest difference between us were our legs. She did it on purpose!''

Avery, Zuri isn't like that. It's not like it's the first time she is substituting for you.'' deep down Zack still trusted Zuri.

''So, what you are saying is that you trust Zuri more than you trust me? Don't be stupid Zack! Now 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 that asked Zuri to substitute me? If that's the case, then we are doomed!

''What are you suggesting?''

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

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

''Quick, President Baldwin, check the entertainment news headlines! Zuri's manager has just revealed some big news!''

Zack quickly jumped online to search the headlines. To his disbelief, Zuri's manager was already a step ahead of them. She revealed that Zack had forced Zuri to substitute for Avery multiple times in the past with picture comparison of the two as proof. She also complains that small companies tend to bully people and that Zuri had been bullied for many years.

In anger, Zack quickly contacted Zuri's manager ''Mia, are you crazy?''

On the other side of the phone, Mia's laugh resounded. Calmy, she responded, ''I've long wanted to leave this lousy company of yours.''

''Zack, this is definitely Zuri's doing. Quick, let's cover it up by posting news of her trying to create hype!''

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

In an instant, 'Zuri' and 'Chi Long Entertainment' became the most searched terms online with mixed responses.

No one was aware of the relationship between Zuri and Liam. So, compared to Zuri, no one was brave enough to offend Zack.

Zuri 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 'Zuri substitute 'suddenly jumped to the top of the search rankings. Search results all led to the news Mia had released earlier – revealing that Zuri was the real victim...

Of course, Mia's story had got out first and the netizens had already made their decision. On top of everything, the fact that Zuri had substituted for Avery so many times without causing any trouble and was continually being used became the hot topic online. The online community all agreed that Zuri was indeed the victim.

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

Meanwhile, Liam was on the phone with the main news sources, '' If the news of Zuri disappears from the search rankings, then be prepared for your companies to close down.
