Cindy had a slightly unconventional family. Her father passed away while she was in university, leaving behind her

mother, Keith, and her. Although she knew her mother had some money, she also knew she couldn’t possibly touch

them after losing the breadwinner of the household. It wasn’t that she never felt tired, but she felt shackled down

by her family.

Meanwhile, Hannah still hadn’t released any sort of statement. Instead, a few of the celebrities who participated in

the program during the same day as Sena spoke up regarding the scandal. One of them mentioned seeing Sena

and Ian walking out of the dressing room with nobody around them, even adding that Sena seemed to be avoiding

eye contact with other people.

Another one then said they heard Sena and her assistant chatting about Sena’s date with Ian while at the back of

the stage. There were a few people who spoke up in a vague manner regarding the scandal, but despite not having

provided substantial proof, all of their statements pointed toward Ian having cheated on his girlfriend with Sena.

Having read their respective statements, Cindy was boiling with rage. She showed them to Ian with a look of

disapproval. “Look at the nonsense that they spouted! They saw us coming out from the dressing room together, so

how dare they come up with these lies? They’re going to be punished for this!”

However, Ian seemed unperturbed while sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. To kill time, he was playing some

games on his phone as he had nothing else to do. With a nonchalant look on his face, he said, “Stop reading those

sh*tty articles.”

Clutching onto her phone, Cindy thought back on the precautionary measures that Ian and her put in place but

never used. She expected herself to be steadfast while in the face of scandals like that, but as soon as one broke

out, she couldn’t help but get all riled up.

During noon, she went out to buy lunch for Ian, only to find that there were paparazzi outside of the hotel,

indicating that they somehow caught wind of Ian’s whereabouts. Although she didn’t have a keen sight, there were

so many of them that she could hardly miss them. With a frown on her face, she pretended not to notice the

paparazzi, buying lunch as fast as possible before returning to the hotel. She even took care to check if any of them

followed her before knocking on the door to Ian’s room.

Upon entering his room, she told him about them being surrounded by paparazzi, but he didn’t seem to care,

making no comments while maintaining his usual appetite.

 

Cindy wanted to know what his plans were. While she didn’t know when the so-called plot twist would happen, she

knew she couldn’t allow things to remain as they were, as it had a major impact on his career. Ian was new to the

industry, so he hadn’t laid down roots. Therefore, the scandal could easily destroy his career even if it didn’t gain as

much traction as the other celebrities. That aside, she also wanted to know if the lack of substantiality was the

reason for Ian’s agency not releasing the recording. If that was the case, she figured she wouldn’t mind standing

out to explain things. Seemingly reading her mind, Ian interrupted her thoughts. “Eat up and stop overthinking this.

Stop being a worry wart. The agency has their own agendas.” Cindy lowered her gaze. “I don’t want this to affect

your career.” Will this affect my career? While Ian supposed that it was true, he didn’t care even if it did. By that

point, he no longer had anything that he cared too much to hold on to. If his career as a celebrity got ruined, he

could always pick another career. There are so many options out there other than being a celebrity. Ian ate in

silence before planting himself by the window, whereas Cindy pursed her lips while packing up her food as she

didn’t have much of an appetite. Later on, the driver gave her a call to inquire about the situation, but Cindy wasn’t

sure what to tell him, so she kept him waiting by telling him that the agency had something brewing.
