Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau-Chapter 648 - 341: Clear Distinctions Between Gratitude and Resentment (Second Update, 900+ Monthly Tickets)
Edward Foster’s company’s PR director was frantically looking for Lawrence Winters.
Lawrence Winters had taken leave again, saying that a family member was seriously ill and hospitalized.
But at this moment, it was when they most needed a spokesperson from the PR department to step up and turn the tide, so he quickly called her.
While they were searching for Lawrence, the online topic about Lucas Harlow was escalating rapidly.
"What trouble did Lucas Harlow get into? Isn’t NewHuman Corporation going to make a move?"
"Lucas Harlow definitely caused trouble! Otherwise, would the police be involved?! Do you think our police officers are eating vegetarian?"
"I’ve long disliked this guy! Clearly a rich second generation, why come to the entertainment industry to steal others’ jobs?"
"I knew something was fishy! An 18th-tier small actor always playing supporting roles, suddenly skyrocketing to top star in just a year!"
"He must have used tricks!"
"Reject scandalous celebrities!"
"Lucas Harlow, get out of the entertainment industry!"
"I just want to see him out of the entertainment circle! I just want him gone! I can’t stand him!"
"So what if he’s a top star?! You reap what you sow if you break the rules!"
...
The online trending topics were skyrocketing.
In the blink of an eye, at least eight out of the top ten trending topics were related to Lucas Harlow.
Even many ordinary bystanders who weren’t interested in the entertainment industry were educated about "Lucas Harlow."
This name truly went mainstream before the fantasy drama that Lawrence had planned for him was even broadcast.
Then some companies that once considered Lucas Harlow for commercial endorsements quickly issued statements, saying the online rumors were false, and they had never considered Lucas Harlow.
Some production teams that wanted Lucas Harlow to star in their scripts and had been using his name to create buzz for months also quickly distanced themselves. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
Moreover, many of the tens of millions of fans that Lucas Harlow had just accumulated were now unfollowing and criticizing him.
Fans can be very forgiving of male stars. Even if they cheat or commit domestic violence, as long as they admit their mistakes honestly, they can bounce back in a few years.
But there’s one thing they can’t touch—breaking the law. Once they become a "criminal coffee," they’re completely done.
This time, Lucas Harlow was solidly confirmed to have been taken away by the police for investigation, as there were photos and videos taken by onlookers.
These photos and videos were being wildly shared on social media, causing many platforms to crash.
When Lawrence Winters received the call from the PR director, she was carrying the breakfast she’d bought that morning to the hospital for Gabrielle Winters.
"What? Lucas Harlow was taken away by the police? For what reason?" Lawrence was shocked.
The PR director said irritably, "How am I supposed to know? Aren’t you his manager?! Are you asking me?! You’re also our PR spokesperson! How are you doing your job?!"
Although Lawrence was anxious, she didn’t panic. She calmly said, "Got it, don’t worry, I’ll handle it right away."
After a pause, she added, "Since it’s up to me to handle this, you manage the rest of the company well. All external communications should solely come from me. Don’t let anyone ’leak’ information. If anyone does, fire them immediately to set an example."
The PR director nodded, "Understood. You don’t need to say, I’ll definitely keep an eye on it. But you can’t delay any longer, the longer it drags on, the more it affects Lucas’s reputation."
Lawrence got into her car, checked the trending topics on her phone, and then called Lucas Harlow’s assistant Jason.
"Jason, what’s going on with Lucas? Why didn’t you call me?"
Jason, playing games in his rented room, asked in confusion, "Mr. Harlow is fine, why should I call you?"
Lawrence: "..."
She closed her eyes briefly and said, "Jason, the internet says Lucas was taken away by the police for investigation, and you tell me everything’s fine?"
"Oh, that thing!" Jason laughed, "It’s not taking away for investigation, it’s assisting with an investigation, there’s no problem."
Lawrence’s mouth twitched.
Being taken away for investigation and assisting with an investigation are two completely different things.
How did it become so horrible online?
Who’s stirring up trouble?
For cautiousness, Lawrence asked again, "Do you know which police station it is?"
Though the trending topics were exploding online, strangely, no one mentioned which police station it was.
After all, everyone imagined all the details just from seeing police cars, badges, and photos and videos of Lucas getting into a police car.
Jason dutifully told Lawrence the police station’s name and phone number.
Lawrence planned to call Lucas Harlow first.
If it was just assisting with an investigation, he wouldn’t be denied phone calls.
