Chapter 239

"Because I refused to give in, the company sidelined me for two years. I couldn't terminate my contract, had no work, and Mas nearly assaulted several times. Later, they kicked me out of the company for resisting" Cheryl continued. "The contract I signed prohibited me from doing any work related to the entertainment industry. I had to survive by taking odd jobs.

"I handed out flyers, worked as a salesperson, and even wore a mascot costume at an amusement park. All the rumors online are false. I am innocent! I am the real victim!"

Cheryl finally let out all the words that had been weighing on her heart. Speaking her truth to the entire world, she felt an immense sense of relief.

Her eyes were resolute, her demeanor sincere, leaving little room for doubt.

A journalist raised a hand to ask, "If you say you're the victim, do you have any proof?"

Another chimed in, "There's plenty of concrete evidence online against you. Do you expect us to believe you just because you deny it? I could just as easily claim you're lying. After all, what wrongdoer admits to their crimes?" A third reporter said, "Rumor has it that your actions caused the death of someone's spouse. How can you be at peace?"

Cheryl didn't reply.

The questions grew sharper and more aggressive, with some even leveraging false information from the internet. Cheryl trembled with anger, repeatedly asserting her innocence, but no one seemed to listen. Instead, the crowd eagerly documented her flustered demeanor their eyes cold and indifferent.

Seeing this, Elvira intervened, signaling her team to play the videos debunking the rumors about Cheryl.

The lawyer said, "Everyone, please settle down. Today, you will get the truth you've been seeking."

He continued, "We are now presenting evidence to disprove the rumors about Cheryl. If you still have doubts afterward, feel free to ask questions." He played the slides on the big screen.

The slides started with Cheryl's management contract with the company. Key points included the contract duration, compensation, and the restrictive clauses regarding her career.

The audience was stunned by what they saw. The contract was shockingly unfair. It bound her for ten years with a pitiful salary.
