Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 355: A Dog is a Dog

What was initially a pleasant wedding arrangement ended in chaos, with both families arguing fiercely and parting on bad terms. Susan hurried back to the company in the afternoon, only to find the situation worsening instead of being suppressed.

"Susan, this is no small matter. It's all over the internet now, and the media is making a big deal out of it. You need to be more careful when you go out," warned someone from the company's PR department.

"Those media scumbags just want money. Give them more to retract the story," Susan said aggressively, sitting down and lighting a cigarette.

"Oh my god, can you just stop smoking at this critical moment? You'll just end up giving the paparazzi more to charge you with."

"I'm stressed."

Susan had been a smoker since high school, and having the Simmons family shield her in the entertainment industry made her life smoother than it appeared. Her private life wasn't as innocent as it seemed; drinking, smoking, and clubbing were her favorites, although she had always been faithful in her relationships.

"I know you're stressed, and I'm even more stressed. My phone has been blowing up

all day with people verifying your story. This time, it's different from the usual gossip. I've contacted several companies asking them to pull the news. Guess what?"

"They refused?" Susan exhaled a ring of smoke.

"Yes, these dogs usually take the money, but this time they didn't."

He snorted coldly, surprised by their refusal despite frequent dealings.

"They didn't take your money? That means the offer wasn't enough. You need to pay more; a dog is always a dog, they never change," Susan scoffed, having managed such situations many times before. Otherwise, her public image wouldn't have remained so pristine-it was all thanks to good relations with the media.

"This time they say it's not about the money. Someone higher up has ordered them to continue the harsh coverage, and they can't do anything but comply. Susan, who have you angered?"

"Just a mad dog," she muttered, stubbing out her cigarette.

"Well, since negative coverage is inevitable this time, why don't you take a break and stop working for a while? You just got married; why not enjoy a honeymoon? This will blow over soon, and then you can make a comeback."

"But I have a movie release next month, and several promotional events this month," Susan frowned.

"Are you still thinking about promotions? I'm afraid you won't even make it there before getting pelted with eggs. My god, I advise you to stay out of the public eye."

"I guess I have no choice but to take a three-
