Chapter 137 Some People Just Like to Court Death
Aurelia Shaw was pondering how to deal with Mason Nightshade in the future, while scrolling through her phone to see if there was any new entertainment gossip today. Hmm, a film she had her eye on seemed to be approaching the time for casting; she should start preparing in advance.
Aurelia Shaw's fingers paused as she saw a piece of gossip with hundreds of replies beneath it. She clicked it open and looked at the content—today, she received an internal message about a rising star with the surname S, who had been privately associating with several wealthy individuals. It seemed to be that kind of relationship. Wow, when I heard this news, I was really surprised. That little star seemed quite pretty, playing so wildly behind the scenes. What a pity that good cabbage gets plowed by pigs.
Below was attached a blurry photo from the gossip.
Aurelia Shaw looked at the photo. The background seemed to be on a film set. The appearances and figures of the two people inside couldn't be identified. But—looking at the outfit worn by the so-called S-named rising star, Aurelia felt increasingly familiar with it. Thinking carefully, this outfit looked very much like hers, didn't it?
Film set… That outfit… The man… Hmm? Could it be the time when Mason was pissed off and left?
Was it seen by someone?
Aurelia Shaw's gaze cooled slightly, sweeping an eye over the signature at the bottom. It looked very familiar. Reporter Zhang, a journalist who is very close to Audrey Wood; they have a pretty good relationship in private. Many entertainers under Audrey Wood rely on this Reporter Zhang for publicity.
Ha, can't hold back already, making a move against her now?
Afraid of their relationship, aren't you?
Aurelia's lips curled into an amused arc, her peach blossom eyes slightly bending. Clearly she was smiling, yet it sent a cold chill down one's spine.
She loved cats most, because before a cat eats a mouse, it first tortures the mouse until it loses the consciousness to escape, that feeling of self-abandonment, willingly falling. My good agent, you must savor this properly. It's been quite a while I held back without messing with you. It was very difficult to endure.
Don't waste my effort.
"Hmm-hmm-hmm~~~" Aurelia hummed a tune, her mouth forming a smile, looking pleasant. She closed the page and searched for several drawing tutorial videos online, patiently watching them with focus.
Dealing with Audrey Wood? She didn't need to personally take action.
Yesterday's scene was first to prevent suspicion falling on her; she still hadn't decided to expose her true nature in public. Second… to test Mason Nightshade.
Lately, Mason's attitude towards her was too bizarre, forcing her to doubt whether he knew something or, just as Amanda Fuller said, he simply developed an interest in her?
From his reaction yesterday, it appears Mason indeed liked her a bit. After witnessing her experience such an incident firsthand, how could Mason possibly let those people go? With just a little investigation, it's easy to find out who's behind this. Dealing with these people doesn't require her personal intervention.
She just needs to sit at home and wait for the results.

In the morning, Grayson Quinn delivered the investigation results to Mason Nightshade's office.
Mason Nightshade sat behind the large desk, legs crossed, slender fingers holding a mouse, browsing through one indecent image after another on the screen, along with several videos. Everything was meticulously documented.
Gustavo Yates stood next to him, his attention not on those confidential materials, but rather… was it his illusion? Why did he feel like Grayson was looking at him with an unusual gaze? That look seemed like… he wanted to eat him.
