Connor said, "Had it not been for the obstacles four years ago, you two might have been together already. Why torment yourself with denial?"

A flicker of panic crossed William's eyes. "I've never even thought about cheating or doing anything that would betray Jessica."

"But now, the online community doesn't see it that way. Anything that's been leaked now absolutely can't be seen as you being unfaithful. Otherwise, both you and Jennie will be done for." Seeing that William refused to admit it, Connor could only continue his impassioned analysis.

"Even if we have to make Jennie the villain, you can claim that you and Jessica are in business together simply because you are just assisting your junior. You didn't expect any

misunderstanding to result, but that's still not enough to prove your innocence. People would still accuse you of behaving improperly and not being prudent enough..."

Losing his temper out of embarrassment, William interrupted, "I've done nothing wrong. I'm completely innocent."

"But your sponsorship deals and the company's stock prices have all been affected. It's not something your clear conscience can reverse," Connor said. "You

But can you bear that? Jennie is a talented actress. If we choose this path, it would comple William's body stiffened, his gaze growing vacant. His lips trembled as he said, "I can't do that to Jessica! She hasn't done anything wrong."

Connor's expression shifted suddenly as he said, "That may not necessarily be the case."

Taken aback, William immediately looked at Connor and asked, "What do you mean?" Connor elaborated calmly, "What's the story behind those photos of Jessica looking sick?"

William was shaken when he remembered the matter. A flash of concern crossed his mind. Could she really be sick?

"Didn't you mention that she feigned illness to stop you from helping Jennie? How can it be so coincidental?" Connor asked, "And why didn't she answer her phone after the incident? Was she feeling guilty?" William was stunned, his brows furrowed as he said, "So, you're suggesting she deliberately staged those photos to stir up more drama."
