What else should she worry about? Why did she have to tolerate everything they did? Actually, she was not afraid of anything the moment the photos were leaked.
Cherry grabbed the pillow on the sofa and hit Luke on the head, much to the latter's surprise. Obviously, he didn't expect her to be so bold.
"Cherry, what are you doing?! Aren't you afraid that I will tell others your secret?" he shouted. His wounds hadn't healed yet, and although the pillow was soft, it still hurt a little. So, Luke couldn't help but roar with anger.
Beside them was Alan, who watched the two with a faint smile while a trace of satisfaction flashed at the corners of his mouth. He had expected such a scene. After all, he was the one who tipped off the reporters about the news.
"The reporters have taken pictures of the three of us, and my image is about to be destroyed. Do you think I still care about these things?" shouted Cherry crazily while hitting Luke. Then, she continued, "If you destroy me, do you think I'll let you go easily? Huh! In your dreams! I'll drag you to the pits of hell with me!"
Luke gritted his teeth, grabbed the pillow from her, and threw it heavily onto the floor. The next second, Cheery burst into tears. She had worked so hard to take good care of her image. But all of it smashed in a blink of an eye. Just like that, she was no longer the glamorous star like she was before.
Seeing her reaction, Luke instantly frowned. He then looked at Alan inquiringly only to find that the brute was sitting there and laughing, obviously enjoying this situation. "Why are you still laughing? Why don't you think of a way?" the former asked furiously.
Taken aback, Alan cleared his throat. "Now that things have come to this state, what else can I do?"
The only purpose he fled back to the country was to destroy Cherry. Now that he had personally seen her in pain, there was no way he would help her out of this mess.
Alan wondered if the accident had damaged Luke's brain that he became this stupid.
Meanwhile, Anne and Kevin were trying to comfort Ella, who was still wearing a long face. But the kid could only feel lighter once she saw Colin.
However, Colin had disappeared, and they had no idea where to find him.
After Kevin came back, he made use of all his connections to look for Kim. But the bastard seemed to have disappeared from the world, leaving no trace at all. It was as if what Anne witnessed that day were all illusions. If it were not for the fact that the corpse of the thief was left behind, she would really believe it was a hallucination.
Just then, Rose called to ask if the fashion show of the company will proceed as scheduled.
Only then did it dawn to Anne that since the LF Group's establishment, their performance had been exemplary, especially their clothing line. So, to repay the new and old customers, their company organized a fashion show.
It was to be held the day after tomorrow.
"Of course, we will do it as planned," Kevin, who was beside Anne, answered indifferently.
Turning around, the latter responded to Rose on the phone, "Everything will proceed as scheduled."
As soon as Rose confirmed it, she quickly hung up the phone and began to prepare all the things needed for the event.
