“Mmm. Let go! We can’t do this! Joelle tried to push him away, her voice muffled by his kiss. “This is wrong… What are we doing? she panicked inwardly.

Can’t we? Do you know how much I’ve missed you all these years?” Quentin murmured between kisses, his lips brushing hers. “Every time I flew overseas to see you, you turned me away. I wanted to help you, but you never gave me the chance. You’re always so independent, insisting on facing everything alone. But you could lean on me a little, Joelle. I really love you.”

He kissed her, pouring all the longing and love in his heart into each confession.

Joelle tilted her head back in pride, her eyes flashing with unmistakable smugness.

Here in Beloris, I’ve got men who’d do anything for me. How could someone as stiff and uptight as Yolanda ever hope to compete?‘ Joelle scoffed inwardly.

“Quentin, let me go! Otherwise, don’t even think about seeing me next time,” Joelle warned, her voice icy.

Quentin instantly went meek. “Okay, I get it. I won’t touch you,” he said, backing off.

Joelle’s eyes filled with tears. “What kind of woman do you think I am? All those years overseas, countless people tried to use me, tried to buy me off, but I never let them. I had to put up with obsessive fans stalking me and the pressure from the big players in the industry–yet I never compromised, not once did I sell out. I refuse to let myself become cheap. When I fall for someone, I love with everything I have. Right now, I only have feelings for Charles. Unless he shows me he doesn’t care about me at all, I won’t give up on him!”

“Joelle, you silly girl,” Quentin said softly, shaking his head.

Meanwhile, Yolanda’s name was still trending on WhatsApp, and no one had been able to dig up any photos of her. Sophie’s livestreams never stopped–as she broadcast day and night, her profits soared.

At first, Sophie felt a pang of guilt; a little voice in her head whispered that Yolanda wasn’t really that terrible.

But the constant flow of money was just too hard to resist. It kept pushing her to spit out even nastier remarks, until the whole chat was overflowing with hate for Yolanda. When that happened, Sophie would tear up on cue, and the gifts and donations kept rolling in–sometimes adding up to hundreds of thousands with just a few tears.

Sophie was flexing hard in her girl group chat, showing off her latest haul with wild excitement.

[I’ve never seen this much money in my life! Just a couple of days, and eight million RMB is already in my account!] she typed, all fired up.

right now! You’re getting way more attention than most C–list celebs. When you make it big, don’t forget about us!]
