Chapter 516
Twenty minutes later, Owen came in to report, “The letter was delivered by a courier, but we still don’t know who sent it. The trial on Oceanside Avenue tomorrow is about Celestial Haze suing some netizens for cyberbullying.”
Liam looked clueless.
Apparently, he didn’t remember who Celestial Haze was and just thought the name sounded familiar
Mr. Reed’s memory of unrelated people and things was always very short.
Owen had to explain, “She’s the original voice actor for the sea monster in Legend, remember? You had Sydney replace her.”
Liam finally had some recollection, “What’s the lawsuit about?”
“Defamation and slander,” Owen paused, then said, “The voice actor was cyberbullied by Sydney’s fans before, developed depression, and later was falsely accused of being a diva, so she withdrew from the internet.”
“Not long ago, she had a lawyer send letters to those netizens involved in cyberbullying, and the trial tomorrow is about this case. Oh, and her attorney is Mr. Fletcher”
“Mason?” Liam frowned, suddenly recalling the lawsuit Sydney mentioned at the entrance of Cuisine Cascade. Was it the same one?
“Celestial Haze will appear at the trial tomorrow. She has never shown her face online, so the case has attracted quite a bit of media attention.”
Liam pursed his lips without speaking, his fingers gently rubbing the photo.
Threatening him just to make him attend a trial?
What was the purpose of this?
Who sent the letter?
The plaintiff or the defendant?
No clue
Owen guessed, “Maybe someone wants to use the trial for publicity?”
Liam was still a hot topic, and if he appeared at the trial, it would undoubtedly make the case more attention–grabbing.
That could only mean the plaintiff side, as the defendants were ordinary people.
Liam didn’t say anything and called Mason.
At that moment, Mason had just picked up Celeste from the set.
The trial was tomorrow, and it was Celeste’s first time as a plaintiff, so there were some things to go over with her.
When Liam called, Celeste had just fastened her seatbelt.
The phone rang for several seconds without Mason answering. Celeste, a bit puzzled, was about to ask when Mason said, “It’s Liam.”
Celeste hesitated for a moment, then said lightly, “Answer it.”
Mason picked up.
Liam’s voice sounded in the car.
“Mason, do you have a trial tomorrow?”
Mason replied, “What’s up?”
“Give me Celestial Haze’s number, I have something to ask her.”
Celeste frowned.
How did Liam know about the trial tomorrow, and why was he specifically looking for her?
Mason glanced at Celeste and said with pursed lips, “Liam, this involves the client’s privacy, I have to respect my professional ethics.”
Liam was silent for a moment, then whispered, “Does she know me?”
Celeste,
Mason said, “No comment.”
It was this sentence that made Liam feel like he might have met the plaintiff.
Usually, when someone hears such a statement, they first ask why he would think that or show a hint of surprise before trying to cover it up. But Mason had no reaction at all. His transition was too natural, which made it suspicious.
