Overprotected By My Tsundere CEO-Chapter 539 - 332: Who Exactly Is Pedro Langley’s Girlfriend?!
The sudden appearance of a golden cup at the National Museum stirred up some internal turmoil but was eventually suppressed.
Everyone in the know was silenced.
As Pedro Langley predicted, such incidents raising security questions would never be made public, only internally silenced.
Three days later—
The National Museum posted a Weibo, showcasing a golden cup, describing its historical background and archaeological value, and claimed it would be publicly exhibited soon.
Not a word about the origin.
Not many people are interested in antiques; the National Museum has less than a million followers, so the news spread within a small circle.
However, those who should know, knew.
...
Inside the nanny van.
Luna Durant, just finishing a show recording, learned about the incident from her assistant as soon as she got in the car.
"Isn’t the golden cup at the National Museum the one our family lost? What’s going on?"
Luna Durant furrowed her brows, incredulous.
"I don’t know." The assistant kept her head down, "Master asked someone to inquire at the museum, and they said the golden cup’s provenance is legitimate, not the Durant Family’s."
"What kind of legitimacy is that?" Luna took a deep breath, irate, "The golden cup goes missing and then shows up at the National Museum; how do you explain that?"
The assistant mumbled, "The museum said they have no obligation to reveal that."
Luna gritted her teeth and asked, "What about my dad?"
"Master’s angry." The assistant replied, "But the eldest lady said whether it’s our golden cup or not, there’s no way to pursue it now; we’ll just have to accept the silent loss."
"Damn!"
Luna was furious, pounding the car door with a loud thud.
The Durant Family went through great lengths to acquire such a golden cup to make a name at the exhibition and expand their influence.
But now, it’s all ruined.
Previously, they thought if the thief tried to sell it, they might recover it through black-market means. Now it’s blatantly placed in the National Museum...
Who would dare to challenge the National Museum?!
They don’t even have a chance to investigate!
What kind of thief goes through such trouble to steal an antique worth millions, only to hand it over to the state?!
"Furthermore..."
The assistant hesitated to speak.
"What other bad news can’t you just spit out at once?!" Luna shot a sharp glance over.
"No," the assistant shrank back and timidly said, "the manager just called to say they’ve secured a supporting female role for you in ’Twelve,’ as the second female lead of ’Summer.’"
Hearing this, Luna’s furrowed brows slightly relaxed.
’Twelve’ is the hot IP everyone in the entertainment circle is vying for.
The moment they announced filming, ’Twelve’ official Weibo already had over a million followers.
This is unprecedented.
Previously, Luna was striving for the leading female role in Alfred Lawrence’s ’Reversing Life.’ Things were going smoothly until suddenly Alfred backed out.
Luna heard some rumors and saw some signs, guessing that Pedro Langley might have interfered.
But she...
Was not angry.
At the very least, Pedro still cared enough to track her movements, even if to block her path.
Due to the unique nature of ’Twelve,’ stars were desperate to get in, even for a small role.
Luna had projects, buzz, and traffic; her manager aimed to secure the leading female role for her and had long set sights on ’Reversing Life,’ but this got disrupted, so they had to pivot to other scripts.
Moreover, last month, after the game rules of ’Twelve’ were announced, the team decided not to pursue leading roles and focused on supporting roles.
Mainly because the rewards for Best Lead Actress and Best Supporting Actress are too tempting.
To win the vote, winning Best Lead Actress is difficult as she would compete against fan-favorite and skilled actresses, so opting for a standout supporting role seemed more feasible, considering her influence, she had a good chance in "Best Supporting Actress."
Luna never insisted on playing the lead, so she let the team decide.
After a pause, her anger subsided slightly, and Luna asked, "What’s the story of ’Summer’?"
"The introduction is a campus, fantasy, healing type story. The protagonists are a few high school students," the assistant replied, "The specific script will arrive in a few days. Barring any surprises, it should be available after finishing ’City Secret’ recording."
"Hmm."
Luna responded indifferently.
To get into ’Twelve’, it’s all about being chosen; landing a supporting role was already pretty good. Choosing roles and scripts herself was obviously impossible.
Though unpleasant, there’s nothing she could do.
After a while.
Luna calmed down a bit, suddenly asked, "Has the lead for ’Reversing Life’ been decided?"
