Chapter 293: Chapter 293: Female Wilder Sheridan?!
The moment this clear and soft voice came out of "Wilder Sheridan’s" mouth, the manager’s face turned green.
Initially thinking this was Wilder Sheridan’s latest mischievous act, after all, he had done quite a few outrageous things before.
But when Ann Vaughn took off her hat, her smooth, black hair fell down, revealing her fair and delicate face, stunning the manager instantly.
"You... Wilder..." The manager, known for his "silver tongue" in the industry, was at a loss for words for the first time.
This girl... is simply the female version of Wilder Sheridan!
Why do two people in this world look so alike? They’re practically like twins!
No wonder those fans chasing after her were mistaken; even he, who had brought Wilder Sheridan to this status, didn’t recognize her at first!
"I am not him. I don’t know why the fans would mistake me for him, so I borrowed your car to avoid them," Ann Vaughn said, somewhat embarrassed as she ruffled her slightly messy hair.
She only dared to come up because she recognized this car belonged to Starlight Entertainment.
Her understanding of Wilder Sheridan was still at the level of hearsay that he was a young, talented actor, nothing deep, but Susie Sommers was quite infatuated with him.
"No... I didn’t expect this either." The manager quickly regained his composure, unable to take his eyes off Ann Vaughn’s face, "May I ask, what is your relationship with Wilder?"
"No relation at all, don’t worry, I’m not a fan of his and have no ulterior motives, today was purely an accident," Ann Vaughn replied.
If she had known things would turn out this way, she would never have left the house dressed like this.
"Ah, I didn’t mean anything by it, please don’t mind," the manager said, noting from her expression that she probably wasn’t familiar with Wilder Sheridan, "It’s just that you look so much like Wilder, even your body shape is similar, which piqued my curiosity."
"The reporters and fans are still following us; if you don’t mind, we might need to take a long detour to shake them off."
Ann Vaughn nodded slightly, not bothered by the small matter.
However, the manager’s words left her slightly puzzled.
Does she really look like Wilder Sheridan?
The answer was undeniably yes, otherwise, the fans wouldn’t have mistaken her and chased her for several streets.
Ann Vaughn took out her phone, opened the browser, and entered Wilder Sheridan’s name as a keyword.
The internet was slow, and it took a while for the related entries to load.
There were photos, but due to the network delay, they kept buffering, making her too impatient to wait.
Ann Vaughn glanced casually at his personal introduction and the works he had starred in before closing the site.
As for the manager’s statement that she looked a lot like Wilder Sheridan, Ann Vaughn dismissed it as an offhand comment.
After shaking off the reporters and fans, the van dropped Ann Vaughn off at her hotel and then left.
In the car, the manager was about to report to his superior about not having found Wilder Sheridan when he was berated.
"Weren’t you supposed to talk to him well and stop getting entangled with Mandy Easton for hype? Why did he go on a date with her again?!"
"What? Date?" The manager took the tablet handed to him by an assistant, opened Mandy Easton’s Weibo, and saw her latest post trending prominently.
Mandy Easton V: "Having you with me in my saddest moments is enough for this lifetime."
The picture was of two intertwined hands over a candlelight dinner.
The ring on the man’s index finger on the left was uniquely cut; the whole nation knew it was Wilder Sheridan’s favorite ring.
Mandy Easton was originally a minor star, but due to the recent rumors about her and Wilder Sheridan, her Weibo followers were soon about to hit 80 million!
In less than two minutes, her post was retweeted over 100,000 times, sparking a flurry of discussions!
Though there was much criticism, many people had already believed Wilder Sheridan and Mandy Easton were together.
The manager felt like he was about to have a stroke at such a young age, yet had to patiently explain to his superior, "There’s nothing going on between Wilder and Mandy Easton. What should I talk to him about? He doesn’t even like Mandy Easton, so how could he be dating her!"
"I don’t care about the process; you must resolve this issue quickly!"
The manager almost cursed, what a useless boss, always dumping problems on him to avoid offending the Sheridan Family!
Just then, someone knocked on the car window.
Initially thinking it was fans catching up, the manager was about to tell the driver to drive away when he heard a cold and gloomy voice outside, "It’s me."
The manager’s eyes lit up, he quickly opened the car door and pulled Wilder Sheridan in, "Seriously, where have you been, trying to make us worry to death?"
Wilder Sheridan took off his hat and tossed it aside, his black hair slightly tousled and sticking up, his face delicate yet with a touch of wild unruliness, his eyes full of impatience.
"Why not leave, waiting for you guys to fire at me like a cannon every day?"
"Mandy Easton is like sticky gum, always posting ambiguous stuff. If we clarify, it’ll look like we’re guilty, playing right into their hands," the manager sighed, suddenly changing the topic, "However, there is a way."
Don’t they have ready-made "evidence" to debunk Mandy Easton’s self-directed drama?
Wilder Sheridan looked at him confused, without saying anything.
Hotel room.
After waking up from a nap, Ann Vaughn felt a sore pain in her calf, almost causing her to collapse when she bent her knees.
...Aftermath of last night’s run.
She grudgingly took out her phone, hoping to take advantage of the good internet to see what this film emperor really looked like.
Unexpectedly, she saw videos of herself being chased by fans last night spreading all over Weibo!
[One-sided Hype? Sympathize with Actor Sheridan!]
[Mandy Easton, Get Out of the Entertainment Circle! People Must Know Their Limits!]
[The sky’s crying, you’re done. How does it feel to fake a romance with the Actor?]
...
A series of dazzling viral headlines occupied the top five spots on the list, impossible to ignore.
Only after Ann Vaughn understood the intents and purposes did she realize that Wilder Sheridan’s team used the video of her being chased last night as his alibi.
To refute Mandy Easton’s ambiguous candlelight dinner image as fake.
After all, with so many fans watching, unless Wilder Sheridan could clone himself, he couldn’t possibly have been running and dining with Mandy Easton at the same time...
But could someone ask for her opinion??
Ann Vaughn frowned, hoping Kenny and the others wouldn’t see the video, otherwise, they’d likely nag her about it.
People familiar with her could still recognize her as the person in the video.
