Hugo was stunned to hear Yannie blatantly offering to end her life to end the chaos.
“I can’t think of anything other than offering my life to repay the damage I caused.” Yannie smiled
bitterly as she looked at Hugo’s face with her hollow eyes.
“It’s true that I had a baby out of wedlock, I won’t run from the fact. My heart was broken when my baby
died. I…”
She sniffled as her voice grew hoarse.
“If I didn’t meet Luna a month ago, I wouldn’t be looking like this. She was the one who took the time to
comfort me.
“I thought everything was in the past, that I could finally turn a new leaf in my life as I regained my lust
for life. Heck, I bought a new house for my mother for her retirement. I…I even found a better and more
stable income.
“I thought everything will be alright.” She closed her eyes as tears ran down her cheeks.
“I don’t know why things would turn out this way.”
Her past was published like a story, read by many. The wound she so desperately tried to hide was
once more ripped open for people to mock and gossip about. She did not understand why it happened.
Did she do something wrong? Was she not humble enough? What should she do to become a normal
person, not to be looked down on, teased, and laughed at? Hugo furrowed his brow when he saw
Yannie crying miserably. Unable to prolong his anger and verbal rage, he sighed and sat in front of
Yannie.
“Yannie, I know I hurt your feelings just now, but I’m really mad. When you started with me, you
should’ve told me everything about your past. At least I’d be prepared, and the public relations
department in the agency could have a backup plan. That way, we won’t be so defenseless.
“Of course, there’s nothing we can’t fix. Based on standard procedure, we should take down all of the
news on the internet and think of a way to fix things. But you know, Mr. Howard is shooting important
scenes in the mountains. He doesn’t have a signal over there, and we can’t get to him.
“Without his permission, the finance department of the agency will never release the money to help you
take down the news.”
He looked at his watch.
“It’s seven in the morning now. Our boss, Thomas, will only leave the mountains this afternoon,
BgXd]*IJ we can’t wait that long. Who knows how bad the news will become after he comes out.”
Then, he checked his bank balance.
“I have seventy-four thousand dollars in my bank. That’s still not enough to take down this type of
shocking news. Yannie, how much…do you have?” Yannie bit her lip and looked at Hugo. Sadness
crept into her heart.
In the end, she still needed to fork out the money…and she did not have that amount at all.
“I’ll think of a way.” Hugo guessed the answer just from Yannie’s expression.
, he made the decision. He sat on the sofa and started to call his
friends to borrow money.
Yannie was saddened to see how Hugo struggled just to help her. She held her phone tightly and
stared at Luna’s name on the screen. In spite of that, she did not have the nerve to call Luna.
Luna had made arrangements for her to work in her studio, yet she resigned because she was unable
to pick up the necessary skills. After that, she went behind Luna’s back and started working in the
entertainment industry.
She was ashamed to reach out to Luna for help after all the trouble she had caused.
