Ethan looked outside, and saw the crowd of reporters as crowded as ants, he shivered. "They've been there for more than two hours, are they going to stay here all night?"Ethan turned his head to look at Mike, who was slumped on the sofa in a sad mood.'Why doesn't anyone believe me?' It hurt him to think like that."Mike." Ethan, as if reading Mike's mind, put his hand on his friend's shoulder. "Don't worry. Everything will be fine. I trust you.""This could be a trap. Someone did this on purpose to me." Mike speculated."But who is that person? For what purpose do they do that? Furthermore, you say you don't know that girl, why would she harm you?" Ethan asked a series of questions with a frown."That's the problem. Everyone including the police believed her, they all thought I was the one who harassed her. I couldn't explain it." Mike said.Bad comments keep appearing on Mike's studio account page (his personal account, which he locked because of too many terrorists).Ethan reads t
"This doesn't matter. Our president wants to talk to you. Please come with us." The second bodyguard said."Why should I go with you? Who is your president?" Mrs. Sarah was a little loud."If you don't go, your son risks losing everything." Jimmy calmly replied."Are you threatening me? Leave my son alone." Mrs. Sarah warned."My president just wants to talk to you, he won't do anything to you," Jimmy replied.The second bodyguard continued. "You have to go because this is for your son's sake. Think."Mrs. Sarah quickly thought and decided to follow the two men in black. They climbed into a car.The car stopped in front of a cafe, and Mrs. Sarah got out of the car. Through the transparent glass, she saw a man sitting on a chair. Lazy attitude. Looks polite.She noticed that he looked very familiar. She must have seen him somewhere.Jimmy instructs Mrs. Sarah to step inside the cafe to approach Mr. Brian."Chairman, I took her to see you," Jimmy told Mr. Brian.He motioned for Jimmy to
“Maya, you are right. Cindy is a rich lady." Mrs. Sarah said with a dazed look on her face. "I told you she was a liar, but you didn't believe me." “Her father talked to me. He forced me to convince Cindy to come home, or Mike's career would sink into the abyss." Mrs. Sarah replied. Maya looked at the woman, probing. “So, what are you going to do? For Mike, a career is very important. Without a career, he will suffer and become a person to be ridiculed, moreover, in the eyes of people, he is a harasser of women." “But Mike loves Cindy, they are living a very happy life. If I keep them apart, he will suffer even more.” "I know that. But, there are so many girls in this world, and over time, he will forget and find new love. But, once lost, his career will be very difficult for him to regain his luster.” Maya tried to convince Mrs. Sarah. She did not answer. She felt like she lost all her strength and would faint at any moment. Her mind was in turmoil, she couldn't think properly.
"Auntie, this was started by Cindy," Maya spoke up again when she saw Mrs. Sarah was silent for too long. "So this is the best way. If she stays by his side, it will ruin his life and career. If Cindy really loves Mike, she will be willing to leave, for his own good. his favor." Maya finally succeeded in her plan to convince Mrs. Sarah.Mrs. Sarah was silent as if she was having second thoughts.Maya's plan is this: Mike and Cindy break up, and he will be lonely and sad.Right now is the right time for her to be by his side, comforting and encouraging him.Over time, he will be touched and realize that she is the only one who truly loves him, that she is willing to stand by him even when the whole world leaves him.Maya chuckles at her plan.However, she can seduce Mrs. Sarah, but someone is secretly eavesdropping on their conversation from upstairs.----As the days passed, Mike's scandal became the center of all conversation. Social media, newspapers, television... it's all about Mi
Mike was sleeping in bed, probably because he was so tired.Cindy sat on the edge of the bed, her hand holding hisMrs. Sarah feels like someone is stabbing her heart with a knife after everything her son has been through and seems so heartbroken.Suddenly, Cindy stood up and turned around to see Mrs. Sarah and Jessica, she was a bit surprised.Cindy saw her walking towards the door. "Aunt Sarah, Jessica." She greets them."How's my brother?" Jessica asked.Cindy looked back at Mike and then back at Jessica. "He's in a panic right now but I've encouraged him to keep going. Maybe he's fine."Jessica nodded."Cindy, can we talk?" Mrs. Sarah said with a serious face.Cindy didn't know why, but this time she felt a bad sign looking at Mrs. Sarah."What is that?" Cindy asked, she felt her voice tremble."Follow me out into the garden." Mrs. Sarah answered and turned to go down the stairs.Cindy can only follow Mrs. Sarah. They sat down on a chair."Auntie, what do you want to talk about?"
Mr. Brian knew her purpose in coming here, but he still pretended to ask. "Why did you come here?""I came here to say that I agree to return home." Cindy looked her father straight in the eye.Mr. Brian didn't look surprised, because he knew she was coming.Mr. Brian also knows that Cindy really loves Mike. Because love should choose to leave. He sighed quietly.If the man came from a wealthy family like William, he would agree to let his daughter fall in love with Mike.But unfortunately, Mike is just a singer, from a lowly background, making money based on looks, and living on the support of fans. Who knows one day, his fans no longer support and love him, what will he do to give Cindy a good life?Mr. Brian just wants to ensure a bright future for his daughter.Now, he's relieved, because Cindy's decision to finally agree to go home means she'll marry her fiancé and his company will be saved."I'm glad you made the right choice." Mr. Brian said. "If you had made the decision earli
That night, with passionate kisses, they slept in the same bed and had a passionate night together. They just sleep hugging each other and do nothing.The next day, it was still not morning, Cindy was up. She looked at the man sleeping next to her.She could feel his arm under her head, their feet entwined beneath the blanket.No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't hold back her tears.'I know and understand your feelings for me but we can't be together. Because of me, you lost everything. I don't want to see you suffer like this. If I didn't show up, you would still be a famous singer like before. So I'm leaving.' Cindy screamed in her heart.Mike moved a little, she was forced to close her eyes. After a minute of listening to his steady breathing, she finally tiptoed out of bed so as not to disturb Mike's sleep.She wrote a short letter. She raised her head, stopping the tears from flowing, but eventually, they just kept spilling out of the corner of her eye.Finished writing th
Her heart ached when she saw her daughter sitting on the floor while dazed.Dark circles around the corners of Cindy's eyes, messy hair, she's thinner. Sometimes, Mrs. Ann even heard Cindy sobbing in the middle of the night.Mrs. Ann felt like her heart was pierced by someone holding a knife. She couldn't bear to see her daughter like this.Therefore, Mrs. Ann closed the door and then went to her husband's office.Mrs. Ann pushed the door without knocking."Brian!" She called out to her husband in a high voice.Mr. Brian stopped what he was doing and looked up at his wife."What is up?" He asks."You still ask me what's wrong? You forced our daughter to go home and didn't care about her feelings. Now, she looks pathetic. She doesn't eat, sleep, or talk. .""You have turned Cindy from a lively, lovely girl to a taciturn, quiet person. Is that the outcome you want?"Mr. Brian took a deep breath before answering. "Cindy is a strong girl, she will definitely get through it.""Have you eve
"Why?" Violet asked again. "You should know that GemWorld is a big company. Sir Tom doesn't choose you easily if you don't have a unique talent and focus. With this course you will learn more ideas and above all, you have the opportunity to be known and shine in the jewelry design industry.""I know. This is the problem. Besides, working at Skymond isn't such a bad idea.""Are you hesitating because of Mike? You don't want to leave him." Violet couldn't help but ask.Cindy looked up at Violet, sighing deeply."No matter which path you choose, I support you." Violet put her hand on Cindy's shoulder, cheering her on.After work, Mike drove Cindy home. He noticed all the way, Cindy didn't say a word. Sad face. Occasionally she would sigh.Mike asked. "What is bothering you?"Cindy out of her dream, looked at Mike and spoke hesitantly. "I have a problem...""What is that? Tell me. You know you can tell me anything." Mike took her hand, his other hand still on the steering wheel.Cindy tel
"Wait. Don't tell me you're in X city?" Rose asked."Let's keep this a secret," Maya replied."What are you doing there, Maya?" Maya asked. "Are you following Mike again?""Rose, only you can understand me," Maya replied."Maya, you still don't give up on that man?""Rest assured, I'll be back when I'm done with them.""Them? Who?""Mike and Cindy.""Cindy? Is she back?" Rose looked surprised."Yes. I don't want to see them together. I hate them. If I can't be happy, no one can." Maya clenched her fists."Maya, you're just ruining yourself. Stop and come back before it's too late. You can't win against true love. You know love is power. The more you hate them, the more you hate them. the happier they will be." Rose said."No. I don't want them to be happy."Rose sighed. She knows that Maya is very stubborn. She wants to advise Maya again."Maya, give up, give yourself a chance. Don't hold grudges. In this world, love isn't everything..." But before she could finish her words, Maya dis
"Instinct," Cindy answered briefly. She didn't mention Jessica because she confirmed it was true, then she told Mike.After all, Jessica is also his sister. The sister has a lover, of course, the brother needs to know what kind of person it is."Okay, okay." Mike didn't want to argue with Cindy. "Come with me, Mr. Tom wants to talk to you and he wants to know the details of your design," Mike said.Meanwhile, William was walking to the exit. But he stopped when he saw Jessica. She was a few meters ahead of him.William immediately regained his composure. "Jessica." He tried to call her.Jessica turned her head to the back and saw William, her steps were faster."Wait, Jessica," William called her again.But that only made her walk faster."This." Jessica heard William calling her. She went to the parking lot to leave as soon as possible.William could not let go of this girl."Jessica, wait." William continues to chase her, but she won't stop.William ran and held Jessica's hand. He g
"But not now. Mike, I have work to do. It's time to visit." Cindy said in a sweet voice. She turned to face Mike, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him on the lips."Let's talk after the show, okay?" She speaks."Alright," Mike replied with a wide smile on his face. "I'm going to talk to the guest now, honey, don't stress too much, I'm here and everyone is here to support you." Mike touched Cindy's face."Yes." Cindy nodded a few times."Goodbye." Mike kissed Cindy's forehead before he left.Cindy went back to work, the staff were looking at her and smiling, making her blush.Then they seriously continued to work.Cindy continued to check the jewelry samples when Jessica arrived."Sister Cindy," Jessica called Cindy.Cindy turned her head to see who called her name."Jessica!" That Cindy waved at Jessica when she saw her.Jessica wore the same dress she wore the night she met William at his bar."You look so beautiful." Cindy compliments Jessica."Thank you, Cindy. You're g
"Cindy!" He called, immediately getting up from the couch and approaching Cindy.He pressed near the head of the bed to call the nurse and doctor and then he sat on the bed, Mike holding Cindy's hand and touching her face. "How do you feel?" He asks.Cindy could see the worry in Mike's eyes."I'm fine. Where am I?" Cindy asked."Are you in the hospital," Mike replied.Cindy suddenly remembered what happened the day before. Now she's still a bit scared.Mike read Cindy's mind, he said. "It's okay honey, you're safe now." Mike tries to reassure Cindy. "I asked the police to arrest Linda.""It's not serious. You don't have to." Cindy said."She almost took your life, why do you say it's not serious?"“She was just jealous of me, so she…”Mike put a finger to Cindy's lips. "This time I won't let anyone hurt you anymore." He hugged her. "One more thing, Linda is involved in the fake gems scandal, so the police need to question her."Cindy is shocked. "Why would Linda do that?""I think she
"Recall that you owe me money. Even though your brother had a successful surgery, he needs to stay in the hospital for care. I can provide all of his needs while he needs them. you're in prison. And one more thing, Mike will definitely fire you through this incident. How can you provide for your brother's needs then?" Maya threatened."But rest assured, I will hire a lawyer for you," Maya added.Linda has become silent. She is stupid. If she hadn't cooperated with Maya in the first place, had she told Mike the truth, none of this would have happened.Maya is a crafty person. Now Linda doesn't know what to do but listens to Maya.She has nothing left for her but her brother. If she was imprisoned, there would be no one to take care of her brother.Linda is also unable to work and she cannot provide for her medical needs. How could she refuse this offer?"Okay. I agree. But make sure you keep your promise, Maya." Linda said."Of course," Maya replied with a smirk."Ok. It's done. I shou
In the hospital.Cindy's ward. Mike and the doctor were standing beside the bed where Cindy was sleeping."Let her stay here to observe more. Let's pray that everything will be okay." The doctor told Mike.Mike silently listened to the doctor. His shirt is still wet but he doesn't care. What's important to him is Cindy's peace.He is blaming himself. Last time, she almost drowned. This time, he shouldn't have agreed to Cindy's request. This bad thing won't happen.Cindy is pitiful. She drowned twice, but luckily, Mike saved her in time.The doctor left, and Jessica and Violet entered Cindy's hospital room."Brother, I brought you some dry clothes. You should change before you catch a cold. Cindy will be fine. We'll take care of her." Jessica said.Mike quietly took the clothes that Jessica brought and he walked into the bathroom.Violet stepped closer to the hospital bed. She held her cousin's hand."Violet, have you called Aunt Ann?" Jessica asked."Yes. I called." Violet nodded. "Sh
Her heart beat faster and she felt her body tremble. Cindy clenched her fist. 'No. No. I can't do this.' She said to herself. 'This is a bad idea. I can't take the risk. I think I'd better stay in the cabin.'Just then, Jessica's secretary approached her and told her something.Jessica turned to Cindy and said. "Sister Cindy, I have some work to do, I'll be back in a bit."Cindy nodded. Jessica and her secretary left.Because Cindy was standing sideways, Jessica didn't notice her pale face.Right after Jessica left, Cindy decided to go back to the cabin, but just as she turned around, Linda blocked her way."What do you want my help with, Linda?" Cindy asked, trying to sound casual."Are not," Linda replied. She looked at Cindy's face as if she were studying Cindy."Your expression is quite pale. I heard that in the past, the director canceled the yacht charter because of someone. Everyone said that person was you. Could it be... you have a fear of water?" Linda didn't care, her tone
"Cindy." Violet excitedly entered the office, calling out."What?" Cindy was startled, looking up at her cousin.Violet is very excited."To celebrate Christmas, the company organized a picnic at the beach for all employees.""Oh, really?""Hey. There's more. I heard we're going to charter a yacht to go out.""Yacht?" Cindy asked back as if she didn't hear well."Yes." Violet nodded excitedly."I think I won't go," Cindy said."Why don't you go?" Violet frowned and asked."Violet, have you forgotten? I have a fear of water." Cindy reminded her cousin."Oh." Violet's excitement immediately dropped."Because I was so excited, I forgot that you have a fear of water every time you go on a cruise." Violet is sorry."You can still join other employees," Cindy said happily."I won't go without you," Violet said."Why not? You said you should get along with the other staff. Don't miss your trip because of me." Cindy tried to cheer up her cousin."Never mind. I'll stay home with you.""Violet,
