The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2811

"Yes, we didn't expect the paparazzo to be secretly photographing you two... How could it possibly be related to us? Claire is crying right now. Shouldn't you try to comfort her? Yeah, she came back after studying abroad, never expecting to be criticized so harshly in the comments section.

"Oh, I see. But wouldn't it be unwise to take it down now? Social media users might think it's a publicity stunt. It could affect her future audience's perception. Mister Sherman, why don't we keep the news online for a while? Social media users are known to have a short attention span anyway. They'll forget about the photo when there's a new scandal."

Serena molded Claire into a victim over the phone, and she was quite satisfied with the effect.

"That could work. However, I hope you'll take Claire's future audience appeal into consideration. She just returned to the country, and her career is just beginning. We can't afford to ruin her reputation." Claire did not know what they were discussing on the phone. When Serena hung up, she anxiously asked, "What did he say?"

"Mister Sherman said he'll handle it and that we shouldn't interfere. Claire, do you think he'll figure out that we're behind this? I mean, we did work with the paparazzo to create this news."

Claire bit her lip tightly, fearing that Sherman would indeed discover that she was behind the stunt. However, she remained confident and said, "I've already paid that paparazzo a hefty sum, and there's an additional seventy thousand dollars after the job is done. That's more than what he gets paid in a year, so he's not going to rat us out that easily.

"Plus, you've portrayed me as the victim to Sherman. If our relationship in the past still counts for something, he wouldn't doubt me. Anyway, don't worry. You go out first and let me have some time alone." Serena did make Claire sound out to be quite pitiful, but those comments belittling her were also prevalent. Claire got angry when she thought about it.

'Who do these people think they are? They have no sense of artistic aesthetics at all. How dare they say I shouldn't even be considered the top dancer among the new generation of dancers in the country?'

Claire did not even regard the other

dancers nominated in the

comments. Where was this

audience when she was building a career abroad? She had overcome numerous challenges to make it abroad, studying the latest

techniques and perfecting her dance moves. These people knew nothing. about her at all!

Sherman did not entirely believe Serena. He acknowledged Claire's sadness, but though he did not want to doubt her, he could not help it. He immediately had someone track down the paparazzo. He had a dedicated legal team, so he did not need to personally intervene.

"I want that photo taken down. Don't let that paparazzo off the hook."

He was not a public figure, so he had no obligation to expose his private life to the public. However, this paparazzo had repeatedly crossed his boundaries, and he had had enough.

"Yes, Mister Sherman. Please rest

assured we'll resolve this matter within two hours at the latest." Sherman's legal team acted swiftly, with Leo at the helm. He

immediately found the paparazzo's phone number.

The paparazzo was startled. He was gleefully watching his growing number of fans and the skyrocketing internet popularity and never expected to hear an unusually cold voice from the other end of the phone.

"Hello, is this Mister Cecil Simmons? You're infringing upon my client's rights. I hereby warn you that if you don't take down the photos you've been spreading online, we'll sue you for infringing upon Mister Sherman Parr's personality rights. It is our hope that you won't break the law knowingly."

Cecil proudly shook his leg. He was not going to take down those photos.

'It's not like they can do anything to me! All these lawyers are good at intimidating people!'
