Twisted Ties of Love novel Chapter 356

Faced with a barrage of questions from reporters, Harper responded calmly, "The script I revised on the 6th was sent to Izabella's agent right after."

"Do you have a record?"

"Of course." Harper pulled out his phone, scrolled for a bit, then showed the screen to one of the cameras, "See?"

The displayed email was sent on the 6th, and that wasn't all; Harper had sent it three times, even on the 7th.

Harper explained, "I sent it again on the 7th because I was worried she wouldn't receive the script, and the recipient file was acknowledged. I don't think her agent would screw over their own client, right?"

"Why didn't you send it directly to Izabella but instead to her agent?"

At the side, Ariana was pale, surreptitiously wiping her eyes before leaning on Harper's shoulder, "You guys are aware of the situation between her and me, right? Izabella used underhanded methods to snatch the role from me; we're not even on speaking terms."

Ariana, known for her frankness, spoke her mind. Fans see her as authentic, bold, and unafraid.

Reporters around her nodded in agreement. Ariana had passed the auditions and was about to sign the contract when her spot was taken. Anyone would feel aggrieved in her position.

No one knew how the "Here Comes the Superstars" team went about their casting and grouping, but they put Izabella and Ariana on the same team. This only added to the hype; the show was on fire before it even aired.

A reporter asked, "Did you notify Izabella about rehearsals?"

"Yes, but she refused them all." Ariana said, "I guess Miss Izabella must be pretty confident, so confident that she doesn't need a rehearsal or script reading. But I never thought she'd use that confidence in such shady ways. If it weren't for Harper having evidence of sending her the script, we'd be the ones being blamed."

"So you guys never went over the script together?"

Ariana looked at the reporter impatiently, doubting his hearing as she had already clearly stated the situation, yet he was still asking.

She did go over the script with Izabella, but it was Izabella who initiated it. However, that was through a burner account that's now deactivated, so revealing it now would be useless.

Anyway, their script reading session wasn't witnessed by anyone, nor were there any cameras. She wasn't worried that Izabella would find any evidence.

"No, it was her choice not to." Ariana said flatly.

"Oh?" The reporter seemed thoughtful as he retreated, allowing others to step forward.

Harper felt a sense of unease, fearing trouble. He looked at Ariana anxiously and whispered, "When will this press conference end, Ariana?"

Unaware of any abnormalities, Ariana looked at Harper's cautious face impatiently, "Why are you so squeamish? We still have to promote our variety show later. Didn't your agent tell you we need to stir up some drama?"

"He did."

"Then just go with it for now."

Harper's expression became noticeably heavy and filled with disappointment. He genuinely liked Ariana and wanted to pursue her, not fake a relationship for the sake of publicity.

But since it had come to this, he had no choice but to go along with it. Otherwise, they would end up in an awkward situation on camera and expose the truth.

Their hushed conversation gave off an intimate vibe.

"Ariana, can you share your upcoming schedule?" A reporter asked.

Ariana responded with a smile, her complexion much better, "Harper and I have been invited to a variety show recently."

"Can you reveal which one?"

"I'm afraid that will have to wait for the official announcement." Ariana replied coyly, her hand entwined with Harper's.

Harper looked at her affectionately, even reaching to adjust her hair.

Though they didn't explicitly reveal anything, recent online rumors suggested that a popular dating variety show had invited Ariana and Harper, capitalizing on their relationship publicity and their current popularity.

"Will you continue filming 'Here Comes the Superstars'?" The reporter asked.

"'Here Comes the Superstars' contracts are term-based. If the show doesn't resolve this issue, neither Harper nor I will continue. No one likes to work with a scandal-ridden artist. Besides, I'm a jealous person, and I'm afraid she might fall for my Harper."

Harper frowned slightly at the last comment, a subtle change that was caught on camera, giving the impression of distress.

This led to wild speculations. Did Izabella try to seduce Harper? Did they develop feelings because of the show?

Ariana's personal and financial interests were threatened, so it's no wonder she holds such animosity towards Izabella. Anyone else might have started a fight by now.

But in reality, Harper just didn't agree with Ariana's drastic approach, let alone involving him.

He wondered secretly. Was this too much?

Fans watching the live stream started flooding the comment section, mostly about Ariana and Harper's romance.

Fans were going wild, commenting so much that it was hard to see the screen.
