Ellen hung up the phone and sighed gently. In the end, her uncle still pressured her.
Just then, a man’s voice rang out gently behind her, comforting Ellen as he said, “You did the right thing. There’s no need for compassion toward people like Selena.”
Startled, Ellen looked at the man who had walked toward her. She nodded. “I know.”
Just then, another phone call came in. When Ellen saw that it was from the producer at the TV station, she hesitated for a moment before picking up.
“Hello, Miss Lane.”
“Miss Ellen, are you free tomorrow night? We can proceed with the interview, so I’d like to get your confirmation.” “Huh? Wasn’t it canceled?” Ellen was surprised.
“It wasn’t canceled, just delayed. Now is the best time to interview you,” Miss Lane said a little excitedly. Ellen’s popularity was booming right now, after all.
However, Ellen replied determinedly, “I’m sorry, Miss Lane, but I think we should cancel the interview. I’m feeling a little tired, and I don’t feel like going.”
“Miss Reiss, this is a rare chance for you to become famous! Are you really going to pass it up?” Miss Lane asked in surprise. After all, once someone became famous, they would become even more well- known after getting interviewed on TV.
“Yes, I’m giving up.” Ellen nodded. She now realized that fame was exhausting and being herself in her quiet corner of the world was the better option instead.
“Miss Reiss, did you run into any trouble? It’s okay, we can solve it for you.” Miss Lane persisted. Ellen was in the spotlight now, and an interview with her would definitely raise their ratings.
“I’m fine, but I personally don’t like interviews. Thank you, and goodbye.” With that, Ellen didn’t give Miss Lane any more chances to convince her.
When she put down the phone, a pair of arms wrapped around her from behind, and the man gazed at her in approval. He was surprised that despite her young age, she had resisted the temptation of reputation and popularity. This was considered quite a feat already.
“Why don’t you want more fame?” he asked. “I don’t want to live under the attention of others. I just want to stay with you and live the rest of our lives in peace,” Ellen answered honestly.
She was already exhausted from the fighting and chaos outside. Simple, clean social circles. and connections were the best for her. Meanwhile, in Connor’s home, they could only sit around restlessly since Ellen refused to help them.
They couldn’t contact Ellen again, and they didn’t even manage to get her number. Moreover, the team had left Averna as well. “Why are you so useless?!” Olivia shouted.
Just then, Connor’s phone rang. Connor glanced at it but didn’t dare pick it up. Olivia thought it was a call from Ellen, who decided to have mercy on their daughter. “Why aren’t you picking it up?” she asked.
Connor gripped his phone in slight nervousness, but he stubbornly refused to answer. Seeing that, Olivia reached out to grab his phone. Connor didn’t think she would try to snatch it, so he became even
“Dad? Dad, where are you? Come over and have dinner! Mom and I are waiting for you!”
more panicked and started fighting back. Suddenly, a boy’s voice cut through the air.
Olivia immediately froze in her attempt to grab the phone, while a strong look of panic colored Connor’s face. Connor hastily ended the call, not daring to look at his wife.
“Whose child is it?” Olivia asked through gritted teeth, the fury already raging in her eyes. “They’ve gotten the wrong number, Connor said guiltily.
‘Connor, are you hiding something from me? Do you have a child with another woman?” Olivia asked in a shrill voice. Connor still dared not admit it as he roared at her, “I told you they got the wrong number! Why are you still pestering me?!”
Olivia’s tears gushed down her face. She covered her face in despair as she said, “Connor, you b*stard! You got yourself a son with another woman just because I can’t give you one, didn’t you? You’re inhumane! You’re a jerk!”
Realizing that he couldn’t hide this any longer, Connor sat down on the couch in silence.
Olivia’s heart was filled with pain and regret. She knew that if her husband never had much money all this while, he wouldn’t have dared to cheat on her. That sum of money made him bold enough to establish another home outside
“Who is that woman?” Olivia dashed over to him in a frenzy, shaking him as she interrogated, “Who is that woman? Tell me, who is she?!” Connor had to protect his son, so he wouldn’t tell Olivia. He gritted his teeth and stubbornly refused to say a word.
“Connor, I’m going kill you! You deserve a thousand deaths! No wonder you don’t care about Lena anymore; you’re already devoted to your illegitimate son!” The more Olivia spoke, the more pitiful she felt. She began wailing like a crazed woman.
Likewise, Connor knew he had done something. wrong. He remained silent as he allowed Olivia to hit and shout at him.
As for Olivia, she calmed down sometime after her outburst. She was already in her 50s, so she knew that she had to accept the truth event though it was a tough pill to swallow. “How old is that child?” she asked.
“Nine,’ replied Connor. Olivia broke down once again. She thought every man in this world would cheat, but her husband was the only exception. Little did she know his illegitimate child was nine years old already. That meant that he had already cheated on her ten years ago.
“Who is that woman? Tell me, who is that b*tch?!” Olivia asked in a hoarse voice.
Josephine Jacobson, stop right there!” Katrina barked, then turned to her colleagues who were watching the commotion at the door and said, “Everyone, let’s reason this out. Josephine wrongly accused me without distinguishing right from wrong. She’s the one who engaged in such licentious actions, yet she wants to push the blame onto me. Have you all met anyone more unreasonable than her?!”
Everyone immediately stood on Katrina’s side, finding Josephine overbearing and unbelievable. Some female colleagues even stood up for Katrina. “We believe you’re innocent, Katrina. Josephine only acts high and mighty in the office because of her relationship with Mr. Quarles. What actual power does she have when she’s just a mere journalist?!”
Alas, Josephine had been in the limelight lately, and it made many of her colleagues jealous. Naturally, they would kick Josephine down and remove her from her position as the anchor now that the opportunity had presented itself. “Do you want to explain yourself, Jacobson? When did you take these photos?”
“Yeah! Are you broke?” “Even so, she shouldn’t stoop so low! The world isn’t short of broke women, yet none would take such licentious photos to make money either!”
Despite the crowd’s self-righteous accusations, Josephine calmly announced, ‘I won’t explain myself. All of you will know the kind of person 1 am once the truth is out.”
With that, she walked away, leaving Katrina barking behind her, ‘Do you really think you’re some big shot?! As if I’m afraid of you, b*tch!” Josephine had just returned to her office when Atticus’ assistant approached her, asking her to go to Atticus’ office.
At that, the young woman went to Atticus, who gazed at her with some regret. “Josephine, how can something so damaging happen? Do you not know that your image is everything as a newbie?”
“Someone set me up. I will get to the bottom of it. Please give me some time, Mr. Kowalski,” Josephine requested. She was the number-one victim in this incident, after all.
“Very well, Atticus agreed after some thought. “I’ll have someone cover for you for the time being. Take some time off for now. Do you want me to report this to Mr. Quarles, or will you do it?”
Josephine tensed up at once, and she quickly said, “I’ll tell him myself. No need to trouble yourself with this, Mr. Kowalski.” The last thing Josephine wanted was for Ethan to learn about this incident. Although the pictures were fake, they would still leave a negative note on Ethan when it was her face that was superimposed.
Hence, she wanted to deal with this her way. Even when the world had blown the issue up, Josephine remained calm. She didn’t lose her rationality and give in to anxiety and anger because she knew the people trying to kick her down would ultimately pay the price.
Since she was little, Mills had reminded Josephine to lie low and never tell anyone about their family, especially never to talk about Peter’s job. Josephine never got it when she was little. But a couple of middle-aged men approached her in school and gave her a gift that was worth tens of thousands in hopes that she would ask Peter to agree to have a meal with them.
Freaked out, Josephine ran away, and since then, she stuck fast to her father’s words, never mentioning her grandfather’s job and staying as low-key as she could..
Though Peter had already retired, he remained influential in politics. She never requested anything substantial from her grandfather, either. In fact, she didn’t even use his influence to get into college or a job. It was all herself.
However, what happened this time had crossed the line, and she was absolutely livid. She wanted to catch the culprit and make them pay at once. With that, she grabbed her phone and called Peter. “Hey,
Joey, missing Grandpa?”
“Grandpa, I need your help with something. I’ll come to you now.”
“Have you been mistreated?” “I’ll tell you when I see you.” With that, Josephine grabbed her bag and left. When she stepped into the elevator, a senior who was usually kind to her comforted her. “Don’t let it get to you, Joey. I know it’s a move someone jealous of you made against you. Don’t take it to heart.”
