The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 648

"No need," Allison murmured with a sigh, taking a bite of her apple pie. "Talent is an actor's true foundation. Good looks are just the icing on the cake—they fade with age. I've never been a fan of over-the-top marketing or getting into spats with others. When this show airs, the audience will see the real me."

"What in the world is going on here? Didn't I tell you to get rid of those paparazzi? How come there are still leaks? Do you have any idea that because of these plot-revealing leaks, last night's shoot is down the drain?!" Wade thundered in the conference room.

"We kept watch. No unauthorized photographers got through. I personally checked everyone. It must have been an inside job..."

Wade slumped back into the couch. "Find out who it was! I made it clear from day one—our project is top-secret!"

Once a show's leaks become widespread and viewers start piecing together the plot, the intrigue dissipates. Spoilers can effectively ruin the premiere, as the loss of that initial excitement and curiosity can hit box office earnings hard. Frequent leaks can destroy a film.

The crew had already identified the culprit. It was painfully obvious—just a matter of reviewing last night's security footage, considering the angle of the leaked photos and the editing style.

Wade slammed his hand on the table. "Tell her she's off the project! If she doesn't want to shoot, fine! There's a whole line of actresses waiting for this role. If she can't appreciate it, she can hit the road!"

Victoria entered the room, hearing Wade's outburst. She was aware of the leak trending online. "Easy, don't blow a gasket."

"Our hard work from last night ruined? How could I not be angry?" Wade's face was set in a stern expression as he instructed his assistant, "Bring Valeria's people to me."

The assistant nodded and headed out but returned within a couple of minutes.

Wade glared at him. "Why are you back? Where's Valeria's agent?"
