Chapter 74 - Seven Years Ago (1/2)
At that moment, hearing the word 'parent' suddenly made Davi remember a certain painful memory.
Seven years ago, the tribulation of the once peaceful and loving family of four began.
Mizuri Akemi and Mizuri Shun, Davi and Haru's parents, were in fact both A-list superstars. The two were among the most powerful couple in the entertainment industry that their popularity remained on top even after they got married and had children.
At that time, they still filmed various famous movies and TV shows despite their age and they remained among the highest paid celebrities. However, things started to fall when Mizuri Shun suddenly became involved in some mysterious contract fraud scandal. Gossip magazines and online platforms started spreading rumors that the famous superstar was involved in the said huge scandal.
Davi was only twelve years old that time and she watched the entire sequence of events happen before her eyes.
Until chaos finally unfolded.
Time passed and police and countless investigators along with many prosecutors and attorneys began to come and go as though their once peaceful home turned into a public government office.
Reporters never left the front of their house. Everything turned into a complete mess and Davi could only watch her parents being slowly dragged down to hell.
Her father was denying the said allegation, saying it was all a lie. However, the power of entertainment industry was strong enough to tear him into pieces.
Evidence of various fraudulent contracts signed under his name suddenly surfaced online. Eventually, the court found him guilty. The government fined him millions for his said crimes but it didn't end there.
Mizuri Shun couldn't accept the result, thus, he started investigating secretly. He and his wife actually switched agencies since they were planned to retire. HL entertainment, their former agency was the biggest agency at that time. However, it was shrouded with darkness. The couple was asked by their own manager to take part in a certain illegal project, causing them to finally plan to leave the agency. However, the CEO was against them leaving and he even threatened the couple when they didn't renew their contract. Because of that, Mizuri Shun believed that HL entertainment was behind those fake evidence.
