Riya knew that it was impossible to control the situation.
Since Chahat dared to do this, there must be people among the reporters that she hired.
At this moment, the news must have already been released and the photos as well.
Riya's assistant and best friend ziya walked towards her. "Riya, I've asked someone to remove the news, but Chahat obviously came prepared…"
"I know. She has a lot of shows waiting to be broadcasted. If she's determined, she must become famous. I'll fulfill her wish." A cold smile appeared on Riya's lips.
ziya then asked, "What are your plans? Let me do it."
Riya spoke softly.
As expected, the matter had already spread and was trending.

Any news that touched on Riya's name was always very popular. Moreover, it was the negative news that the netizens loved the most.
A few hot searches were accompanied by pictures of Chahat's swollen face, as well as scenes of Riya giving Chahat a tight slap during filming.
Although many people spoke up for Riya, there were still many onlookers who did not know the truth and found it hard to accept such a scene.
"This is the first time Riya is making a movie and she's already so arrogant?"
"Chahat is the second female lead. How could she hit her like that?"
"They're all actors and all rely on their faces. Isn't she too ruthless?"
"The Riya's filter in my eyes is about to shatter."
"She's really ruthless. No matter what Chahat did, it's too much for a woman to make things difficult for another woman."
As the matter was in an uproar, Riya sent a message on her twitter handle. "In the afternoon, I will broadcast my apology to Chahat. I'm sorry, I don't know why Chahat would vomit blood with such a light slap. I will give everyone an explanation."
"Ugh, you're still denying that you didn't use any strength at a time like this."
"I'm vomiting with disgust. Don't you know how much strength you used? If you hit her lightly, would she vomit so much blood?"
"You're a famous celebrity after all. What's so good about bullying a newcomer?"
"I heard that chahat is Actor Chirag's cousin. Could it be that… Riya has a grudge because of love?"
As Chahat identity was exposed, everyone had another heated discussion.
...
The staff knew very well what had happened and felt indignant for Riya. However, the problem now was that the tempo had been raised and no one had strong evidence to prove that Riya did not hit her on purpose. There was no way to prove her innocence.
Chahat stayed in her dressing room and everyone could only wait. When she came out, there were tears in her eyes. Although she used her hands to cover the scars on her face, everyone could still see that the left side of her face was swollen and had a red mark.
"Don't blame Riya, everyone. It's normal to have some hiccups in acting," Chahat said to everyone. Her tone was very sincere and humble. There was no anger in her eyes.
The reporters were moved by her words and nodded their heads secretly. This lady was really not bad. She didn't say a single bad word about Riya even though she was injured so badly.
Although the crew members were confused, they couldn't criticize her, so they could only wait and see.
When Karthik passed by Chahat, she was being interviewed by a reporter. "Shi Jin really didn't do it on purpose. I hope everyone…"
Suddenly, she felt an extremely cold aura pass by her, making her feel as if there was a sharp blade on her back. She turned back and saw a tall and cold figure walking towards Riya's dressing room.
She couldn't see who the man was, but she was sure it wasn't Director. His aura was much stronger than Director, which gave Chahat a bad feeling.
Chahat is second female lead, but she didn't have any scene with Karthik till now. Karthik always be a low profile person, on the top of that people look different in real life than pictures and videos. That's why Chahat didn't figure out the identity of the person walking toward Riya's dressing room.
Without waiting for her to think about it, the reporters chased after her and asked her more questions. She could only turn her attention back and continue, "I still hope that everyone will be more lenient towards Riya. I'm fine, I'm really fine."
Combined with her magnanimous words and the scars on her face, her image seemed to grow larger.
These interviews were naturally posted by the reporters she had bribed.
After sending it out, people felt pity for her and condemned Riya. Chahat's popularity rose again and again, and she ate up all the profits. Just like that, she became a hot topic.
Riya was in the midst of putting on makeup. She twisted open the lipstick and applied it on her lips. When the man appeared in the mirror, she put away the lipstick and asked him in the mirror, "Why are you here?"
"I saw the news, of course!" Karthik walked towards her, placed his hands on the chair, and lowered his eyes in an extremely protective manner. "Which kind of position do you plan to ban Chahat in?"
Riya smiled and looked up. "I haven't thought about it yet, but we might be able to come to a conclusion at the apology conference later."
Karthik lowered his head and before reaching out to pick up her right hand. "Does it hurt?"
