The internet was the best place for verbal assaults, as both Ian’s fans and those who were slandering him were both relentless in their apprehension of the other party. Cindy had a softer personality, so she wasn’t sure why people were able to spout such vile words online without considering its consequences. However, she supposed they were pushovers in real life who could only find some power by engaging in such activities online. In the end, she put her phone away, deciding that she would ignore the matter altogether to save herself some anguish.
The sudden free time had Cindy feeling ill at ease. She had been working alongside Ian ever since his debut. As long as he didn’t take time off, nor did she. They had been keeping themselves as busy as a bee all this time, so she eventually got accustomed to the lifestyle in the process. However, the scandal forced them to grind to a halt. While she wasn’t sure how Ian felt about it, she knew it didn’t sit well with her.
She lay in bed for a moment, but got up after a while as she had a hard time staying still. After loitering about in her room for a while, she checked on the web again, only to see that Hannah had yet to offer the public any form of explanation. As long as they remained silent, the scandal would continue to fester. To be honest, Cindy wasn’t sure what Hannah was up to, as she figured she would instantly publish the recording she had if it were up to her. Now that things were festering and affecting Ian’s reputation, Cindy could no longer remain as calm.
Mulling over the situation, she went over and knocked on Ian’s door, which he answered immediately. He seemed to be at ease, seemingly enjoying the rare downtime. Cindy’s visit was within expectations, so he let her into his room while asking, “What’s the matter? Do you have a hard time calming down?”
However, Cindy could hardly smile, as she wasn’t feeling as jovial as him. After closing the door behind her, she questioned in a hushed voice, “Does the recording not suffice as proof? Why else would Ms. Jones withhold from making it public?”
Turning around, Ian went and sat down on the sofa. “Don’t worry, since rushing things won’t help the situation. We’ll just have to wait for a little longer.”
Cindy wasn’t feeling as unfazed as Ian. “Didn’t you see how people have been slandering you online? You won’t have much of a reputation left if this keeps up.”
Lifting his head to glance at her, Ian figured that she was a young girl after all no matter how steadfast she usually seemed, which was why she had a hard time keeping her cool. He drank some water out of his bottle before explaining, “When it comes to such scandals, a major plot twist will make things more interesting.”

So what happens to Ian and Cindy. Is she/ or does she get pregnant? Do they go back to the city and Ian works with Logan? Does Aurora stay in the entertainment industry or return with Ian? Terrible ending, who cares if Aurora was drinking/drunk with colleagues. What happened with Ian and Cindy?!...
Get rid of Gary. Apparently Cindy is too dumb to figure out his motives 😡...
Why are you trying to break them up when they just got together and are a loving couple. Let them stay close and move back to their true friends, Logan, Lola, John and Sophia!...
Sure hope Ian pulls his head out of his behind and works this out with Cindy. His brother needs him at the company and neither one of them truly like the celebrity life. Sophia and Lola will love her …....
I can’t wait for John to take down the Bailey’s including Isabelle so he, Sophia, William and Matilda can live in peace. Introduce Yolanda to Richard so they are out of the picture....
Ugh, don’t break up Sophia and John… they belong together and Sophia is just stubborn for no reason...
Sophia lives John, he just needs to tell her he loves her and get on with their life and family. Too much interference from others....
Sophia is so stupid....
John needs to man up, tell his mother and Isabelle to take a flying leap and confess to Sophia that he made a horrible mistake in divorcing her. This story is taking too long and once again, the bitches are looking like they are on the right side. Awful...
