Diego Nash adjusted his glasses. He didn't seem the least bit flustered.

"We're just doing what we're supposed to do. Isn't it stated clearly in the contract? The original company cannot interfere with any matters of the new company their trainees sign with."

"That's indeed the case," Celia agreed.

Then, her expression turned serious as she countered, "However, there's another clause before that: the signing company must treat everyone equally and without discrimination."

Diego flipped through the contract and found the clause Celia had cited. They had exploited a loophole in the contract, only to have it used against them.

"Ruth Maddison is the visual of the group, so she takes the center spot. Shouldn't she have more camera time?"

Celia sneered and raised an eyebrow. "Why don't you review the footage? Do the combined camera times of these two amount to even half a minute?"

    Selena frowned as she wondered why Freya would call her now. After all, Freya had just criticized her openly on the Internet."Why are you calling?" Selena asked indifferently.She had done enough for the Jenkins family, so she no longer felt the need to be subservient to them.After a moment of silence on the other end, Selena became impatient. "If there's nothing, I'll hang up.""Wait." Freya stopped her. "The situation online has escalated. Maybe we should ..."She hesitated, and Selena could guess her thoughts."Are you willing to do that?" Selena raised an eyebrow. Over the years, Freya had been wary of her due to this matter, and now she was willingly bringing it up."If we don't tell the truth, both of us might be ruined," Freya said.Freya had been in the entertainment industry for a while.

If Selena were truly such a person, Freya would not have made it in the entertainment industry at all.The surrounding reporters held up their cameras to focus on Wilbur and Malia. This interview was broadcast live, and people online were paying close attention to what Wilbur and Malia said. The news quickly spread, and netizens began to question whether Selena and Freya were telling the truth.Celia couldn't bear to watch any longer. She went up with her team and pulled Wilbur and Malia away from the crowd of reporters."Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins, if you want this matter to end well, please come with me."Celia's expression darkened considerably. She couldn't stand letting such parents ruin Freya and Selena's lives."Are you Freya's boss?"Wilbur narrowed his eyes, assessing the person in front of him. Freya had previously mentioned that Selena seemed to know Celia, so he had formed a bad impression of Celia in his mind.Yardley was also there.

    The netizens were divided into two sides—one supported Wilbur and Malia, and the other sided with Selena. The online debate became heated.Freya didn't expect things to escalate like this. She pondered the situation, and scenes from the past continuously replayed in her mind.Soon, Starlight Entertainment's official Twitter account posted a message and gained control over the spiraling situation."Thank you for your attention in these past few days. We'd like to advise everyone to stay rational. This matter involves fundamental moral issues, whether it's concerning child trafficking or fraudulent college enrollment. "This has evolved beyond a mere dispute in the entertainment industry—it has infringed on societal interests. Any party opposing the law will eventually face consequences. We have reported this to the police. The truth will come to light soon."Celia spoke on behalf of the company, and her powerful words were convincing.Since the police had intervened, netizens had

    Celia realized that the situation had reached a deadlock. She hurried to the police station and found the officers staring at the files before them and pondering their next move. They were unsure of what to do.Initially, the investigation had progressed rapidly, and the truth was about to surface. But now, it came to a halt. Celia felt perplexed about this.As the person who reported the case, Celia attended the meeting at the police station as an observer. Even though she could not comprehend a lot of the jargon, she sensed something was amiss."This situation is a bit special. We should send someone to investigate the people who went to that village in the mountains back then," one officer suggested.Another immediately refuted the idea. "It's been so many years. Investigating that place will be troublesome. It's a considerable undertaking.""We must catch this child trafficking gang. Otherwise, there will be more victims!"

    Holding the drawing in her hands, Celia stepped into the police officer's office. She handed over the drawing and shared the intel provided by Wilbur and Malia. "Thank you, Ms. Stanton," nodded the police officer as he accepted the drawing. He then conducted a thorough online search. Soon, he discovered a company where employees were mandated to wear company-issued wristbands. The symbols on these wristbands uncannily mirrored those depicted in the drawing. Despite its appearance as an ordinary establishment, this company offered unusually high salaries—three to four times higher than the norm. The police officers were puzzled by this and decided to investigate the company further.… Meanwhile, in the Little Group, Jasper found himself grappled by the company's affairs. Due to the recent issues with Wilbur and Malia, the police had inspected various companies. Eventually, they uncovered suspicions of illicit activities within the Little Group's operations.

    There had been a whirlwind of events in the past few days. Celia had managed to uncover numerous leads for the police investigation. However, the other side was equally cunning, swiftly relocating to evade detection. Nonetheless, Celia refused to resign herself to the situation. As the truth behind the human trafficking came to light, many online sympathized with Selena and Freya. After all, no one would want to be abducted at such a young age. However, Freya struggled to accept the reality. Throughout her life, her parents had showered her with love, leading her to believe that Selena was the only adopted one. She had never suspected the same for herself. It was no wonder she and Selena looked so much alike. Though Selena had repeatedly told her they were twin sisters when they were young, Freya had never believed it. She was steadfast in her belief that she was the biological daughter of the Jenkins family. Now, faced with the truth, she had no choice but to accept it.

    How could a sudden car accident have occurred, especially on a major road and not even at a turn? How did two vehicles collide with each other? Yardley sensed that something was amiss. He gently caressed Celia's exposed skin and promptly assigned his two assistants to keep an eye on her, concerned that she might have encountered any further troubles. As Yardley observed Celia in an unconscious state, he couldn't bring himself to leave. Opening his phone, he discovered that the surveillance video of the accident had been retrieved and posted online. Yardley opened the video. Upon watching the somewhat blurry footage, it became evident that the large truck intentionally collided with Celia's side. Moreover, there was no one else around, only the two vehicles.

"Director, is it true that no one wants such young babies?" Morgan felt a bit emotional. How could people be so heartless as to abandon their own babies? The director of the orphanage let out a deep sigh. "You don't know the whole story. Our janitor found these babies at the orphanage's entrance. Someone left them there and disappeared. "We've been taking care of them for about half a month now, and their condition has improved significantly." Looking at the adorable babies, Morgan couldn't shake the feeling that they belonged to Celia. "I'm here on behalf of Yardley Hughes else to adopt these children, but..." Morgan expressed her concerns. Morgan anticipated the orphanage director's refusal. To her surprise, he actually agreed.

    "Let's go, Celia. We shouldn't disturb the twins' rest," said Yardley as he supported Celia and got ready to leave. Celia waved her hand and stood in front of the incubator. Even with the glass barrier, she could still discern the condition of her children. She reached out to touch them, as if her touch could make them feel her presence. She resolved to take her children home safely. Celia lingered for a while before finally leaving the hospital. Once they were home, Celia locked herself in her room, disregarding any attempts anyone made to talk to her. Yardley headed to the company to attend to some matters, while the housekeepers remained at home. Meanwhile, Morgan couldn't shake her concern for Celia, so she came to visit her. Upon entering, she heard the housekeepers upstairs calling out, "Mrs. Hughes, are you feeling better? Come out and have some soup!" However, there was no response from inside. "What's going on?"

    Otto didn't back down and insisted on his right to see his grandchildren. However, Yardley paid him no mind. He shook his head and said, "Celia needs rest. Please come back another day."The next second, he instructed the housekeepers to close the door and left Otto standing outside.

They had appointed a family doctor to treat the twins but hadn't seen much improvement in their health. Yardley sanitized himself before he went into the nursery. He felt pained when he heard the twins' weak breaths."Mr. Hughes."

    "Don't worry. She's fine. She's just a bit weak at the moment."Remembering Yardley's words outside the ward, the doctor felt a wave of nervousness. He could tell that Yardley and Celia weren't ordinary people judging by their attire. They were certainly not ones to be trifled with."Did you say that we had twins?" Yardley turned to ask the nurse after learning that Celia was alright."Yes, sir." The nurse chuckled inwardly. She found that, despite Yardley's intimidating appearance, he was a very devoted husband.Soon, Celia was moved out of the operating room and into a VIP ward.Yardley gently wiped the sweat from Celia's face again.

    "How could you hit me because of her? I'm the mother of your child!" Sophie shrieked.She had never suffered such humiliation. She had been showered with love from a young age and wasn't accustomed to such harsh treatment. So, she became agitated and emotional."Isn't it all because of you that things turned out this way? Would such a thing have happened to our company? Would Richard suddenly want to break all ties with us? It's all because of your reckless behavior!" Chester vented years of suppressed grievances and dissatisfaction as if it would make him feel better.Celia watched as Chester and Sophie argued fiercely. She stepped forward to stop them, especially since there were many people outside watching the spectacle."Stop fighting. This isn't the time or the place for arguments!"Sophie went at Chester and started hitting him. Celia tried to break up their fight, but Sophie pushed her. Celia took a few steps back at that.

    "Mrs. Black, we'd intended to negotiate amicably with you and achieve a satisfactory outcome for both parties. "The decision to move out was mine, and I asked Celia to come over and help me out.

It was like a significant weight had been lifted off her shoulders. "What do you mean?" Richard panicked. Just when their relationship had slightly improved, the situation took a turn for the worse again."We're breaking up for good!"Morgan left after saying that. Jessica and Darby left with her, leaving the Blacks behind."This is all your doing! Look what you've done! How many times have I told you not to be so assertive and bossy?
