"You now also understand that when a celebrity marries into a prominent family, there's bound to be gossip," Kylie Morales said helplessly, comforting him. "This is just the reality of the situation."
Hallie Morgan felt indignant inside. She was the Best Actress, a star. She hadn't married Dylan Collins because of any scheming, but to whom could she explain this?
"Forget it," she finally said after thinking. "As an artist, you still have to convince everyone with your work. Whatever they speculate doesn't matter. Don't worry about the news online either. I'll just focus on filming and producing good work. That's the best rebuttal to them."
Kylie heard this and smiled in relief. "It's best that you can think this way. No matter what they say online, and how we retaliate, it's currently like trying to hide something only makes it more obvious. Let's not say anything at all. Stop thinking about it," she said.
Having made up her mind, Hallie indeed put down her phone.
