Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 780

Claire smiled. "Alright, then."

Madeline's team, led by Genesis, had already sent out the press releases and was just waiting for the red carpet photos to drop.

Then Felix informed her that they couldn't walk the red carpet anymore.

"Why not?"

Felix's tone was flat. "Noreen canceled our access."

"She canceled you, too?" Madeline was stunned.

Felix didn't seem to mind in the slightest, showing no sign of anger. "You should head back to the hotel on your own. I have something to take care of."

"Ah… but I…"

Felix left without even waiting for her to finish her sentence.

Madeline stomped her foot in frustration.

The press releases were already out, and now he was telling her the red carpet was off? Was she destined to be humiliated today?

"Genesis! Get those gossip blogs to delete the articles right now!"

Genesis frantically contacted the media outlets, but they told her it was too late.

The press releases had been published and the posts had been boosted as planned; they couldn't be retracted.

"What do we do now?" Genesis panicked. Her reputation in the industry was already fragile. Another public embarrassment could mean the end of her career, with no chance of a comeback.

Madeline took a few deep breaths. "Then we'll cover it up with bigger news."

Genesis asked, "What news?"

"Let's say Claire is being kept by a sugar daddy." She sent Genesis the screenshot of the post Claire had made yesterday about her ‘sponsor' and told her to hire writers to create some articles full of thinly veiled accusations.

A story about a famous actress having a sugar daddy was always eye-catching. It would definitely overshadow her own embarrassing news. And it would ruin Claire's reputation in the process. Two birds, one stone.

…

The gala was magnificent. With the Joyner family's extensive network, nearly every notable figure in Harborview City was in attendance.

Of course, the Caldwell family was there too.

After all, the late Mrs. Joyner had been a Caldwell herself.

Sue arrived with Jaxon Caldwell, and just like before, she was deliberately dressed to mimic the late Mrs. Joyner's style.
