Chapter 1563 An Ill-Timed Phone Call

Cindy was somewhat annoyed as well. Sena, Linda, and Yulia had all been involved with Ian, but none of them had

gained any benefit from it. Someone had hit the nail on the head before when they said that one should stay away

from Ian or risk death or injury.

Cindy read some of the comments, but she didn’t bother to read the rest. Instead, she turned her attention to those

fake news accounts that had emphatically accused Ian of having an affair, wanting to see if they had done anything

else. She found that they had collectively refuted Ian’s claims after his statement was released, but they went quiet

when her statement was released. Some even jokingly commented under these fake news accounts’ posts that

they should destroy the surveillance footage as soon as possible, proving that the public was now taking sides with

Ian.

Cindy hesitated for a moment before reading the statement Ian had issued earlier. She knew that this statement

was written by the agency’s public relations department. Nevertheless, her heart raced when she saw the

statement’s last few sentences expressing his love for her.

She wondered if the public relations department had sent the statement to Ian and let him review it beforehand.

But even if they didn’t, Ian should have read the statement posted on his account afterward. I wonder how he felt

when he read those sentences.

Cindy thought she was overthinking things, but she couldn’t restrain herself. Her emotions went back and forth for a

while before her cell phone rang. Startled, she quickly took the phone and looked at it. Surprisingly, it was a phone

call from Gary. She answered the phone and greeted, “Hi, Mr. Frye.”

“Uh-huh,” Gary responded with a noticeable hint of tiredness in his voice; he had probably just come off work. Then,

he continued, “I just saw what happened on the internet. Are you and Ian all right?”

Cindy hesitated for a moment before answering, “It’s nothing serious—at least that’s what it seems for now.”

Gary replied after a few seconds, “That’s what showbiz is like. Fact and fiction are so tightly intermingled with one

another that one can hardly tell the difference. It’s fine as long as you know the truth yourself. You don’t have to

care about what others might think.”

Cindy curled her lips into a smile. “Yeah, I know that. Thanks for calling me at such a late hour to comfort me.”

Gary let out a sigh. “Sometimes, you remind me of my past self. I feel that we both stumbled at the beginning, but

I’m more relaxed than you are because we’re in different circles.”

Cindy also knew that Gary was a self-made man without a prominent social status or background. Some articles

had detailed his path to fame, and according to these articles, the path had truly been a rocky one. That was why it

was easy for him to empathize with someone who was in the same predicament as he had been.

As Gary had some other things to attend to, he didn’t talk much with Cindy. He hung up after telling her to look on

the bright side of things.

Cindy put down her cell phone and listened carefully to the movements outside. It was still completely quiet; Ian

had probably fallen asleep at this hour. She switched off the lights and closed her eyes, but Yulia’s face somehow

came into her mind. She recalled how Yulia had condescendingly talked to her when she saw her in the park last

time. Now that her statement today had driven Yulia into an embarrassing predicament, she wondered if Yulia

would be exasperated.

Even though Yulia had previously been known to be proud and aloof, she had always enjoyed a good reputation.

However, due to this incident, her reputation had hit rock bottom right away.

For some reason, Cindy felt relieved as she thought of this. She turned over and curled herself up into a ball. She

didn’t know whether what happened today was good or bad, though.

Cindy didn’t sleep well that night, and neither did Ian. However, Yulia probably couldn’t sleep any better than they

did.

In the middle of the night, Yulia called Ian.

Ian didn’t sleep well in the first place, so he woke up as soon as his phone rang. He reached for his phone and

looked at it with a frown. Indeed, it was somewhat inappropriate for Yulia to call him in the middle of the night.
