Chapter 1144: Chapter 1144: Oliver Hudson Goes Public
Seeing Justin Battleson’s goofy antics, Charlotte Thompson couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
"I’m aware of the victim, but Florienna Ellis’s support isn’t limited to the head of the design team."
Hearing Charlotte mention this, Justin’s expression became slightly more serious.
Of course, he understood what Charlotte was implying.
Because he was also investigating the matter at work, he had some clues, but nothing was certain yet.
"Now Elijah Walker is facing a targeted campaign within the company, and I feel it won’t be long before he’s directly fired because of some incident."
Charlotte shared her thoughts straightforwardly.
"I really want to see who has the guts to do this," said Justin with a sneer.
The Riley Group was his own company, and carrying out such actions within it wouldn’t be that simple.
"Right, there’s another thing." After discussing the matter of Riley Group, she shifted the topic to the Ross Family.
"The investigation that I asked big brother to do has made progress. The woman who acted as a surrogate is now married and has a husband."
Charlotte also told Justin that she suspected the woman might have been coerced or subjected to domestic violence.
"The two individuals we saw at the banquet, Ray Ross and Oliver Ross, must have taken precautions by now, so their every move is in order. It’s not appropriate for me to intervene directly, but I’ve asked Adam Ross to start investigating."
"Then we’ll meet with Adam this week to discuss how to handle it."
Justin and Charlotte talked back and forth as they returned to Stardust Garden.
The online buzz about Mia Carter’s case eventually came to an end with a police statement. Mia Carter was criminally detained for intentional assault.
This was combined with some media interviews with crew members from the drama set.
The stories directly confirmed the accusations of Mia Carter assaulting Annie Anne.
Such an outcome was, of course, not surprising to Charlotte.
What Charlotte didn’t expect was that just as Mia Carter’s issue had settled down, an interview released today stirred up a massive controversy online.
And the person interviewed was none other than Oliver Hudson.
Oliver had agreed to an interview about work-related matters. The content had nothing unusual, but towards the end, the host asked him a question.
It concerned Annie Anne.
"Mr. Hudson, there are rumors online that you have some kind of relationship with the actress Annie Anne. They say she entered the entertainment industry solely with your help. What is your response to this?"
The host actually didn’t want to ask about such things, understanding that provoking a person like Oliver Hudson wasn’t to be taken lightly.
But under strong insistence from her network bosses, the host had to bravely present the question in a slightly subtle manner.
Seeing the question, Oliver’s expression remained very calm as he glanced across the studio cameras.
And this seemingly casual action made everyone present involuntarily hold their breath.
"I do have a relationship with Annie..."
Then Oliver’s lips parted slightly, as he began to reveal the words that shocked everyone.
"She and I are, boyfriend and girlfriend."
The host’s mouth fell open, and it took her some time to regain her voice and continue asking.
"Then why haven’t you or Miss Anne disclosed this?"
"Annie found it troublesome and unnecessary, so we never publicized our relationship, but this time is different..."
Holding her phone, Charlotte didn’t even finish listening to the rest of the interview; she even stood up directly from the sofa.
Did Oliver Hudson even know what he was doing?
