Before the scandal, Rachel was recognized as a good-quality idol, pure and noble.
Her costume drama and movies were popular across the country. People from primary students to the aged of 80 liked Rachel very much.
This waiter was once her fan. He would have kicked up his heels if he met Rachel before the scandal. Now Rachel disgusted him.
The fact that Rachel nestled in the arms of a man who wasn't her husband convinced the waiter of news of Rachel's illicit love. And the waiter felt that the news wasn't so awesome as what he saw.
The waiter left the room after serving the dishes. Then he spread what he witnessed among his colleagues in a flash, "Guess who in that private room?"
"Who? Don't keep us guessing." A waitress was curious.
"It's Rachel, who is ruined by scandals!"
"Rachel? I saw that a man went in that room, but he isn't her husband, is he?"
"No. I know who President Sheng is. Guess what, Rachel is so cheap! She was in that man's arms when I went in! Tut tut, her wedding was held not long ago! These pop stars are hypocritical and double- faced, as expected. What an actress!"
"Are you sure? Maybe they are talking about business. In my opinion, that man isn't an ordinary person."
"Well, no business asks a woman to nestle in a man's arms. They may have proceeded further, only if I went in later."
"I took those hearsays as slanders from gossip magazines. But I would like to believe them now. What a mess the entertainment circle is! Goddess? Disgusting!."
"By the way, it is said that the paparazzi will reward tip- off. Why don't we earn some pocket money with it?" One of them suggested.
"What happens if we get a complaint from Rachel?"
"Only God knows who tips off if we all keep silent about it. What's more, it is common that paparazzi follow a pop star."
"I agree! We just help expose the true color of this so-called goddess. It's so disgusting!"
Now Rachel left the arms of William. William was asking about the problem between
Rachel and Sean.
Rachel always hid her sorrow and bitterness from others to flaunted her superiority.
She was recognized as a goddess with high social status and a good background. She felt that people could make fun of her if her miserable matrimony was exposed.
Frequently, Rachel tipped off the paparazzi with fake news, such as a romantic event from Sean and how much Sean loved her.
She did this for sensationalization, but this news also increased her popularity, for people loved witnessing happiness.
William, when abroad, could also learn of their sweet love through the news. Therefore, William didn't express his love to Rachel.
"Are you suggesting that you manipulated those news stories? The paparazzi took those pictures as you planned?" William felt somewhat incredible.
"Yes. I hated that my miserable matrimony was exposed. But I lose confidence in my marriage now, as Sean doesn't love me at all. Whatever I do is fruitless." Rachel drank one glass after another.
"You are such a fool! Do you devote to a man who doesn't love you? Are you lost your mind?" William was surprised that Rachel loved Sean so much.
'Tm neither crazy nor stupid. I was just blinded by love. It is my first time to speak out my sorrows. I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?"
