Mr. Fairchild's Rose: She is Wild and Proud-Chapter 114: Explosive Revelations Spread

Director Dayne’s reaction today also proved that her judgment was correct.

Maeve Lane’s performance today not only amazed Director Dayne but also stunned Summer Ainsworth, Asher Forrest, and many supporting actors and crew members who saw the behind-the-scenes footage.

Thus, in a post on an anonymous forum predicting "Rivers and Mountains as Usual" would flop,

Someone left a comment––

[Latest news, the lead actor with initials FCH from a four-character drama was overshadowed by a newcomer, forgot his lines on set, everyone was incredibly shocked, I have a feeling "Rivers and Mountains as Usual" definitely won’t flop.]

The replies to the post came quickly, with over a dozen responses appearing almost immediately.

1st Reply: FCH? Is it who I think it is?

2nd Reply: No way he got overshadowed, forgetting his lines, and by a newcomer? That’s unlikely.

3rd Reply: Four-character drama, it’s "Rivers and Mountains as Usual," right? Featuring Maeve Lane and Julian Fairchild?

4th Reply: Laughing, the show hasn’t even started airing, and this Maeve Lane is already buying publicity, even dragging Julian Fairchild into it.

5th Reply: Are you sure you won’t get ridiculed to death?

6th Reply: I understand why the male actor’s fans aren’t promoting this show, the female side’s behavior is too unseemly.

By the time Sarah Sutton noticed the situation worsening, the post had already gained enough traction to hit the edge of trending topics.

Even though Maeve Lane didn’t have such influence, it was different for Julian Fairchild. Despite the post being anonymous and fans denying it, many people thought of Julian Fairchild immediately.

As Maeve Lane lay resting on a chaise lounge nearby, Sarah Sutton approached worriedly, mobile phone in hand.

"Maeve, I think there’s something I need to tell you." Sarah sat down next to her, looking down at Maeve’s delicate face basked in morning light.

Her petite, upturned nose and fluttering lashes moved slowly as she opened her eyes, "Tell me."

"Someone leaked online about you and Fairchild’s scene last night, and now people are saying you bought publicity for it. It’s about to go viral; do you think we should get some PR to handle it?" Sarah spoke tactfully, but Maeve was no newcomer to such matters. Even with the softened delivery, she guessed she was being targeted once again.

Maeve stared at the ceiling and said, "Didn’t they film our scene yesterday? That leaker didn’t exactly lie. ’Overshadowed’ might be a bit exaggerated, but it’s hard to explain this away now."

"Once the show airs, these voices will fade."

Who could convince them? Only the original video could, only letting them see for themselves. But Maeve also knew it wasn’t likely now.

Sarah was already hesitant, knowing just releasing that video would solve all issues at once, potentially earning praise for her acting skills.

After all, Director Dayne had certified her acting talent yesterday, it wasn’t fabricated out of thin air.

But, there’s a confidentiality clause in the contract.

Releasing that footage would also leak costumes, makeup, and even altered plot details.

Yet in doing so, it would be unfair to Maeve Lane.

Director Dayne saw Sarah’s worried expression, approached with a bottle of opened drink in his hand, "What’s going on here? Running into some issues?"

Maeve lazily sat up. Having been in the role of "Ethan Grant," her movements were exceedingly graceful and elegant.

Sarah didn’t intend to hide it from Director Dayne and explained the situation briefly to him.
