Cherry was a popular female star, but she got a lot more attention after she had been involved in the scandal. For a moment then, her reputation was extremely bad.
She didn't expect that the agency would be so angry at her and blame her for what happened.
Everything was too overwhelming for her, so as soon as she got out of the police station after being detained for a day, she gritted her teeth and reached out to her phone. She immediately called Anne.
On the other side, Anne looked at her phone and saw Cherry's contact number flash on the screen. She considered calling Kevin's attention at first, but when she glanced at him, she saw that he was busy with work. She then just went on answering the phone without hesitation.
"Damn you, you bitch! It's all your fault. You're the one who had thrown me into this mess!"
Anne rubbed her ears and frowned as Cherry started shouting at her on the phone, then she responded, "We discussed the plan and you agreed to it. You are the main reason why it failed. So why are you blaming me?"
Anne did great in her part of the plan, so the failure of their strategy had nothing to do with her.
Cherry certainly knew this. But now, her image had become extremely bad and her reputation declined greatly. She was now the former top female star who instantly became a joke and was hated by everyone. She was in crisis and all her efforts were on the verge of a downfall. How could she not be angry? How could she not be anxious?
"Anne, you should know that I haven't made the recording public yet. In that case, I'm not the only one who will be loathed by people, but also you!" she shouted angrily, gnashing her teeth.
Anne frowned as she took a deep breath. Trying her best to maintain her composure, she said softly with a hint of an angry tone, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have made a deal with you, Cherry. Now I have to take responsibility for what I have done."
On the other side, Cherry widened her eyes in surprise and asked, "How can you say that? Don't you want to be with Kim?"
Anne gritted her teeth at the mention of Kim and hung up the phone immediately.
Kevin turned his head with a faint smile on his face. Anne did not try to hide from him while she was on the phone call this time, which seemed like she was trying to improve her relationship with him.
He lowered his head with cold eyes, determined to find Kim.
Then, all of a sudden, he came up with something. He frowned and immediately called his assistant.
"What's up, Mr. Kevin? It's late," his assistant said on the phone, his voice sounding a little groggy as though he had already been falling asleep when only that phone call woke him up.
But Kevin, being the boss that he was, obviously didn't care about this. He just continued with their conversation and said, "I want you to look for the best private detective and ask him to investigate the head of AS Group. If there's anything unusual, inform me immediately!"
He still had no idea what that man's name was, but it seemed that he still continued living by the name "Ryan."
More than that, he was constantly in contact with Kim, so he thought perhaps that he was the only way to get to him.
"Yes, sir!" the assistant agreed at once.
Anne smiled as she looked at Kevin. She picked up a coat and put it on his shoulder as he turned around and smiled back. Now the two of them were treating each other like they did before.
However, deep inside, they knew of course that everything was different.
At that same time, Sam, who had been wandering outside the door for a long time, finally decided to enter their house. He saw that the hall was empty and then sighed. Emily had most likely fallen asleep at that time.
He hadn't returned to the hospital since the afternoon. Instead, he had been hanging around their house. After hesitating for a long time, he finally mustered the courage to go in.
He sat on the sofa, let out a heavy sigh, and poured himself a glass of water. As he was drinking it, he was thinking about how he had never felt so alone even when he had lived here by himself before. But now when he had returned to their house, he felt it.
"Ha-ha..." Shaking his head, he laughed at himself sarcastically. There was no doubt that he and Emily loved each other, yet they still had come to this point. What could he do to make their relationship recover?
There might still be a glimmer of chance for them to turn their relationship around. Sam really didn't want to make the final decision to have a divorce without a try!
"You are back!" Suddenly, a woman's voice came from behind.
His body stiffened instantly when he heard it. He didn't turn around but he knew at once that it was Emily.
The only reason why he wandered outside for a long time before he went in, was because he didn't know how to face her. But now, he had to. She was there and this was his chance to finally confront things with her. He sighed deeply in his heart and slowly turned around.
He immediately saw that Emily's eyes were red and swollen, full of grievance, as though she had been crying all day. He couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
Indeed, recently, there had been a lot of conflicts between them, but she was the woman he vowed to take care of for the rest of his life, so it was only natural for him to feel uncomfortable whenever he saw her like this.
He stood up and walked slowly towards her, sighing helplessly. Her body stiffened a little when she saw him approaching. As soon as he got close to her, he ran his fingers under her eyes and said, "How long have you been crying, my dear? Why are your eyes swollen like this? Oh, Emily, you are such a silly girl."
Her tears flowed out again as she heard his voice. She threw herself immediately into his arms. His body stiffened slightly as he embraced her, realizing that it was actually the first act of intimacy that they had ever since they got married.
"Sam, I know I was wrong. I know that. But please don't be so cold to me. I will no longer make a big deal out of a petty thing from now on. I know you liked Anne and you can like her as much as you want, as long as you still remember me. Can you do that for me, please?" Emily begged.
