Her Precious Baby

“Are you sure about it? Because if you really cut the endorsement deal with Starlight Jewelry, you’d most likely bump into Evander.”

“Who’d say no to money?” was Angeline’s only response.

She sounded as frosty as the winter, seeming to have even allowed her personal emotions to get in the way.

Prior to that day, she had been thinking about avoiding Evander as much as possible. She had even wished to have nothing to do with him and let their relationship remain a history.

Yet, that man had sealed off all her other options in the entertainment industry, effectively pushing her to the brink of helplessness. All she had left was the current and only way out.

In that case, she figured that she might as well play it cool and face the music head-on. Besides, it would be impossible for her to keep her distance from Floretta for eternity, and that further underlined that shunning the man was never a wise call to make.

As soon as Angeline agreed to star in the commercial, Nancy proceeded to communicate with Starlight Jewelry’s organizer. Soon enough, both parties reached a consensus on the filming date and time.

Previously, Angeline had already been in their advertisement, acting as their brand ambassador and receiving nothing less than good reviews from netizens around the globe. Not only that, but their products had since been selling fast owing to her appearance.

Therefore, the organizing team was so glad to once again secure a collaboration with Angeline. They even wired the remittance into the latter account without deliberation, fearing that they might give the impression of taking her too lightly.

The early stages of the filming were pretty smooth sailing. On the final day, however, trouble cropped up—Angeline suddenly became the center of public opinion on the internet.

That fateful day, Angeline arrived at the studio and alighted from the car. Her assistant stood by her side, sheltering her with a parasol as always. The second she set foot in the entrance of the studio, she noticed that the workers’ expressions took a turn when she came into sight, and everyone was murmuring among themselves.

“It’s her, isn’t it? She’s that woman who severed all ties with her own family five years ago and didn’t even bother to attend her parents’ funeral. Worse still, Old Mr. Sorelle is still alive and kicking, but she’s already coveting his inheritance!”

“That’s her, all right. Didn’t you notice the name ‘Angeline Sorelle’ appearing on the news?”

“But that’s too vicious, don’t you think? Ms. Joseline has been working diligently in taking care of Old Mr. Sorelle over the years. And now, she has to put up with Angeline, too?”

Upon hearing the gossip, Angeline asked her assistant for the phone and went online to check it out for herself, only to clap her eyes on scandals about herself brewing everywhere all of a sudden. Immediately, her countenance did a one-eighty.

appeared as calm as a millpond. She could not help but let out a snort before instructing in a deep voice, “Call Nancy and tell her to publish an announcement on our company’s Twitter account that we’ll provide a thorough explanation for the rumors online very soon.
