Yvonne had just walked into the makeup room when she got a call from Zell.
He snapped, “Yvonne, what is going on? Are those photos of you with different men at hotels real? Why are you doing this tri
you well enough? Why would you cheat on me and make me look like a fool?”
Zell’s hysterical voice on the other end left Yvonne dumbfounded. “He’s the one who’s been cheating on in all along! How dare he accuse me?’ she
wondered.
Ashley quickly unlocked her phone, refreshed the news feed, and showed it to Yvonne. Headlines like “cheating scandal” and “plastic jumped out at Yvonne.
The photos showed “Yvonne entering and leaving hotels with different men, along with pictures of “her” with crooked teeth, buck teeth, and acné
all over her face.
Yvonne glanced at the photos and said coldly, Zell, other people can slander me all they want, but how dare your doubt me? All these years, I’ve worked my ass off for Starry Entertainment…
“While you’ve been lounging at home, I’ve been out networking. While you were enjoying your free time outside, I was still hustling
Since we started this business. I haven’t had a single day off. You believe every rumor you hear, but you won’t trust a word I say, huh? Hearing Yvonne’s words. Zell’s voice faltered with guilt, but he still insisted, “Bun the woman in these photos really looks like you.” Yvonne let out a bitter laugh. “Someone’s clearly trying to frame me and ruin my reputation, Faking a f they’re fake, the damage is done.

“But look at all the trouble that followed! Now there’s even a promiscuity scandal about you. This isn’t a small issue. You’re a grown woman. Why do you always make such a mess that someone else has to clean up for you?”

“Let me check the situation outside right now. If it gets too crazy, we can skip the kick–off ceremony, just stay calm, okay?” Ashley assured her.
