When Leslie Howard was pinned to the big bed by David Redington, being ’indulgently’ worked upon.

Outside, the scandal had already stirred up a frenzy, reaching a boiling point.

Not only were fans digging everywhere for the truth, wanting to see the parties involved respond, but the media was also searching overnight for the inside details of the scandal.

They were staking out at the filming location, the hotel where the crew stayed, and Leslie Howard’s previous apartment... except for the place David Redington lived, which they did not know, and even if they knew, they couldn’t break in.

It can be said that all the entertainment reporters and paparazzi in A City were taking action, going all lengths to find any traces between the two.

It’s like trying to plant flowers intentionally but failing, while unintentionally planted willows flourish.

A bunch of media was searching everywhere for the truth, but couldn’t find Leslie Howard and David Redington, while a few reporters who went to stake out at the crew hotel inadvertently extracted useful information from a hotel service staff.

That night, a video interview with the service staff, masked and voice-changed, was leaked online.

The interview content was as follows—

Reporter: "Can you introduce yourself?"

Service staff: "Okay, I am the room service staff responsible for the executive floor at the hotel accommodating the ’Flower of Thorns’ crew."

Reporter: "Stars like David Redington, with such an identity and status, should stay on floors above the executive floor when accommodating at a hotel, right?"

Service staff: "Yes, Mr. David Redington lives on the top floor, the Presidential Suite."

Reporter: "And what about Leslie Howard, does she also stay on the executive floor?"

Service staff: "Certainly not, although I’m not responsible for Miss Howard’s floor, to my knowledge, she’s staying in a normal room."

Reporter: "In that case, Miss Leslie Howard should not normally appear in the top floor Presidential Suite, right?"

Service staff: "Correct."

Reporter: "But I heard that you’ve seen Miss Leslie Howard on the top floor?"

The service staff paused slightly, nodding: "Yes, Miss Howard knocked on Mr. David Redington’s door one evening shortly after the crew started staying."

Reporter: "Oh, are you sure you didn’t mistake her identity?"

Service staff: "I am certain. Since the hotel’s top floor requires a card swipe to enter, I was the one who helped Miss Howard swipe the card and escorted her up."

Reporter: "So, did Mr. Redington open the door?"

Service staff: "He did, Miss Howard also went in, and they stayed inside for quite a while. Though Miss Howard mentioned it was about the script, I don’t believe it."

As soon as this video was released, the whole internet was shocked.

"Leslie Howard knocking on the door at midnight for a rendezvous with the movie star, delivering ’meal’ to the door" became the talk of the town.

David Redington is famously aloof in the entertainment circle, known for staying clean, not being interested in women, and not engaging in messy relationships!

Who would have thought that Leslie Howard would knock on his door in the middle of the night under the guise of discussing a script, and he actually opened it.

Fans felt both heartache for their movie star being hitched by such an unclean female celebrity like Leslie Howard and outrage at Leslie Howard for proactively seducing David Redington.

Anyway, no matter how much was said, it was Leslie Howard’s fault.

Unbeknownst to her, Leslie Howard, locked up and cut off from all external contact by David Redington taking advantage of the holidays, remained unaware.

Within just a few days, Winona Wallace’s scandal was overshadowed by the gossip about her and David Redington.

Leslie Howard unexpectedly became the target of public criticism, the enemy of the nation.

...

The next day, still feeling slightly sore and supporting her waist, Leslie Howard followed David Redington back to the crew.

To avoid suspicion, Leslie Howard got off the car first and entered the set, while David Redington came later.

Unexpectedly, just as she arrived outside the set, she heard a piercing scream: "Leslie Howard, you bitch, stay away from David Redington!"

With those words, a bag of eggs was thrown at Leslie Howard.
