That day, Simone was found suffering from a massive blood loss on the set, and she was sent to the hospital right away.The news sent the entire internet into a frenzy, even though it was already midnight.Yvonne woke up in the middle of the night to a call from Rachel. All traces of sleep immediately disappeared from her face the moment she heard about Simone's condition.She hurried out of the villa immediately. After picking Rachel up from her house, they rushed toward the hospital as fast as they could.By the time they arrived, Simone had been taken into an operating room. At the moment, she was undergoing dilation and curettage surgery."What's going on? Why did my beloved idol suddenly suffer from a massive blood loss?" Rachel asked anxiously the moment she noticed Simone's manager. She was so worried that she even gripped the latter's arm."I—I don't know either!"It was evident that the manager had gone into a state of full-blown panic. "Simone was still fine when we we
By the time Simone regained consciousness, the sky was starting to light up.The moment she opened her eyes, she noticed Yvonne and Rachel, who'd been by her side the whole time. Delight flooded through her system as she asked, "Why are you here as well?"A forced smile was plastered across her face, which was devoid of any color. Despite the smile, she still looked very exhausted and haggard.Rachel couldn't bear seeing her favorite celebrity in such a wretched state. Her eyes reddened immediately as she pursed her lips, unable to find the strength to utter even a word.As for Yvonne, she grabbed Simone's hand while asking in concern, "Are you still feeling unwell?"The latter shook her head. When she spoke again, her voice started to tremble. "Is my baby … gone?""Yeah."Yvonne hesitated for a moment before speaking softly. "The doctor mentioned that you might not be able to get pregnant ever again."Stunned by the revelation, Simone looked so lost, as though her soul had lef
"How should I know?"Noah spoke the truth. He'd only found out about Simone's pregnancy after seeing the latest news online. He'd come to the hospital with the intention of questioning Simone about her motives for getting pregnant with his baby. Sadly, he'd ended up suffering a head injury because of that.Noah couldn't help but feel annoyed by the turn of events. He shouldn't have come here in the first place."Then again …" Noah removed the handkerchief from his forehead before straightening his tie. "I'll be honest with you. I wouldn't have allowed the baby to be born."What he meant was that he would have dealt with Simone's baby even if no one had targeted her like this."Yvonne, you're a part of our family as well. You should know that arranged marriages between wealthy and powerful families are the real deal. Women like Simone don't even have the right to enter the mansion through the front door, let alone be a part of the family."Even though Noah spoke in a polite mann
That night, Simone uploaded a long post, which caused an uproar online.The post described the times when she'd been forced to attend social activities just to enrich Johnson Talent Agency with resources ever since she'd signed the contract with them.When the company had discovered Simone's pregnancy, they had discarded her like a useless ragdoll. Not only that, but they had also snatched away her resources and started oppressing her in more ways than one. It was bad enough that the company had refused to lend her a helping hand, but they had also started to actively harm her career.Now that Simone had divulged all the details through her, it was clear that she intended to expose Johnson Talent Agency's true colors without caring about the consequences.Soon, the public started taking the celebrity's side. Her fans, who had been mocked and jeered by the netizens on that fateful night, quickly voiced their support for her."Companies that extort their celebrities are the worst! I
Meanwhile, Hazel had already left the area while turning the air blue with curses directed at Simone.The latter couldn't help but giggle when she tried to imagine the expression on Hazel's face. "Seriously, I've disliked Hazel for a very long time! I felt so satisfied when I saw her looking so frustrated and helpless! One of these days, I'm going to start my own company and crush Johnson Talent Agency under my foot! I will make Hazel regret everything she's done to me!"Once Simone was done speaking, she turned to look at Yvonne, who hadn't said a word. It was weird, to say the least."What's wrong, Yvonne?"Simone approached her friend and waved a hand in front of her face. She noticed Yvonne putting her phone away hastily. Panic and alarm flashed across Yvonne's eyes right after she snapped out of her trance. Then she looked at Simone. "I just remembered that I have some matters to deal with, so I have to go now."Yvonne quickly circled around Simone and left the house before
"Well, I—" Yvonne didn't feel like going back to Oceania Villa, but she didn't want to walk back to Simone's place either.She racked her brain for a moment before an idea came to her. "Why don't you take me back to your house? I've never spent time with you and your comrades before.""Um …" A conflicted look appeared on Curtis' face. "I don't think that's a good idea."Yvonne just smiled in response. "Don't worry. I've seen many things in life."Her subordinate had no idea what to say in response. Then again, he had a feeling that she most likely would never expect how chaotic things would be if he were to take her back to his place.Since he couldn't turn Yvonne's request down, he took her back to the rented apartment he shared with his comrades.The moment Curtis opened the door for Yvonne, a strong stench hit her nostrils. Honestly speaking, she couldn't describe how awful it was.Frowning, Yvonne quickly covered her nose. Then she started scanning the messy apartment. It wa
Seeing as he couldn't hide the truth from Yvonne any longer, Curtis finally answered her question after a moment's hesitation. "They were the squad members who I used to lead in the past."This piqued her interest. "Oh? Can't I take a look at their faces?"He frowned in response. "I don't like sharing my past with others."Thankfully, Yvonne could relate to Curtis' woes, so she didn't ask more about it. She moved the mug to her lips and started sipping on the black tea after nodding in response.Two sips later, she suddenly remembered that the tea contained caffeine.A slight frown appeared on her face as the woman put down the mug and looked at Curtis. "Tell me about Conan's latest recovery process.""Alright." Curtis pulled out a notebook before handing it to Yvonne. After that, he briefed her on the data that was scribbled on the notebook.Conan's drowsiness was under control. He hadn't shown any signs of becoming rampant for no reason during the past week or so. Everything s
Once Stanley dropped Rachel off in front of her house, he drove back to his house. After that, he let Stephen take over the wheel.Before getting out of the car, he made sure to inform Yvonne that she could take the front passenger seat. Yvonne just claimed that it was too troublesome for her to shift seats, so she curled up on the backseat without the intention to move.Stanley sensed that something was off, which prompted him to shoot glances at Stephen and Yvonne. At the same time, he wondered if he should find a chance to ask Stephen about what was going on.Once Stanley left the vicinity, Stephen started the car and drove for a distance before parking it at the side of the road.After that, he got out of the car, opened the back door, and got inside."How long do you plan on being mad at me because of what happened to other people?"The moment Stephen asked that question, he realized that Yvonne was the reason he'd been able to hone his patience. Whenever a fight broke out,
