Now that money was no longer an issue, Cindy felt like she managed to overcome a huge hurdle. She put away the

dining utensils before returning to her room. Upon hearing a chime on her phone, she quickly checked it to see that

the money had arrived. As always, Ian was swift in his actions. After that, she transferred the money to her family

almost immediately.

She didn’t even care to inform her family that she had made the transfer. Instead, she switched off her phone

before taking a shower. Learning her lesson, she dried her hair thoroughly after the shower, taking the medicine

before lying down in bed. Due to the properties of the medicine, she dozed off without sinking into disturbing

thoughts.

Out of habit, she woke up on time the next morning despite still feeling slightly groggy. Deftly, she washed up

before leaving to buy breakfast downstairs. She was soon back in the hotel, knocking on the door to Ian’s room,

which he answered quickly. Staring at her, he questioned, “Have you recovered?”

Nodding, Cindy entered his room as soon as he opened the door to put down the food on the table. However, her

phone rang before she could lay the food out. Initially, she assumed it was a call from her family to inform her of

having received the money, only to realize it was a call from Hannah after checking the caller ID, so she picked up

instantly. “Ms. Jones.”

Hannah sounded dour over the phone when she spoke. “What’s going on? What are the online articles talking

about?”

Startled, Cindy realized she hadn’t read anything online. Due to Hannah’s volume, Ian could hear their

conversation, so he inquired while walking over to Cindy, “What’s wrong?”

Cindy shook her head at him before telling him in a hushed voice, “I think some news might’ve broken out online.”

Walking into his room, Ian did a search on his phone to see that scandals of him and Sena were all over the

internet. The articles were written in a fashion that made the scandal sound plausible. Other than fabricating that

Ian spent time alone with Sena before their duet, there were also parts such as Sena being witnessed coming out

from the dressing room in a disheveled state.

Ian didn’t mind the scandal at all, even going as far as reading through all the articles that concerned it.

On the other hand, Cindy was slightly confused, so she asked Hannah what happened. The latter seemed a little

irritated while explaining the scandal to her before complaining, “What’s going on? Don’t you know how to avoid

these sorts of controversies? You’re obviously being blackmailed.” Despite Cindy’s relatively young age, she was

unfaltering when it came to such things. Humming, she replied, “Don’t fret, Ms. Jones. Those are all lies, as I was

also in the dressing room yesterday, so they weren’t alone. I even have a recording of the incident that we can

utilize as proof.” Hannah was caught off guard by Cindy’s report. “What recording is it? Does it show what

happened when they were in the dressing room?” Cindy replied in the affirmative before continuing, “I personally

think the scandal might have something to do with Miss Young. She and her assistant were acting suspiciously

yesterday.” After having spent many years within the industry, Hannah knew full well who were the possible

beneficiaries behind such scandals. Sneering, she ordered, “For now, don’t let anybody know that we have proof.

Send them to me, as I want to check on what happened before having the PR settle things.” Cindy agreed with her

request, but before she could hang up, Hannah called out to her. “Whose idea was it to capture a recording?”

Blinking, Cindy said, “Ian and I do this all the time, but it was me who came up with the idea initially, if that’s what

you’re asking about.” In fact, Cindy was a little worried that her infringement of other people’s portrait rights might

give Ian some trouble, so she took accountability. However, Hannah smiled before giving praise. “Good job, girl.

You’re a thoughtful one.” It wasn’t until then that relief washed over her. After ending the call, she went to find Ian

in his room.
