“Lindsey? Would she really give me money?”


    Kendra’s Lips curled into a sly smile and said, “She’s currently with the guy who was at the engagement party.


    They’re quite close to each other.


    He probably doesn’t know about her one-night stand.


    Use that information to stir up trouble, and she’ll surely pay you to keep quiet.


    ”


    The other end of the line was silent, followed by a scornful chuckle.


    “Kendra, you’re quite ruthless.


    Alright, I’ll ask her for money tomorrow.

    Kendra ended her phone call.


    Her eyes, normally so lovely, now shimmered with a venomous glint.


    A wicked smile crept up the edges of her lips.


    Chayce’s assistance in dealing with Lindsey was a blessing.


    It meant she didn’t have to handle it herself.

    The next morning, sunlight bathed Lindsey’s face, highlighting her long eyshes.


    She woke up with dark circles evident under her eyes.


    Sleep had eluded her the night before.


    Her mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, memories, and worries,


    intertwining in a dance she couldn’t escape.


    It was only in the early hours of dawn that she finally found rest.


    Thankfully, it was the weekend.


    She could wake up at her own pace.


    As soon as Lindsey got up, she reached for her phone, eager to catch up on thetest news.


    The news about Sh and Andrew still dominated the headlines, but some new updates had emerged.


    “Andrew Lee’s tradingpany is now under investigation for suspected tax evasion.


    ”


    “The Vitality Group announcedst night they’re cutting all ties with Andrew Lee’s tradingpany.


    ”


    “Several otherpanies quickly followed suit, severing their connections with Andrew Lee’spany.


    ”


    There was a flurry of online searches delving into Andrew and hispany’s alleged crimes.


    Lindsey browsed through the array of news that had emerged since the night before.


    Everything was happening too fast.


    Andrew’s downfall came sooner than she expected.


    Typically, entrepreneurs like Andrew would have a very strong public rtions team, but it seemed like his PR team had vanished overnight.


    Rather than quashing the scandal, they were letting more incriminating stories slip out.


    It all seemed to be going too smoothly.


    Lindsey couldn’t shake the feeling that someone influential was assisting her from the shadows.


    She couldn’t think of anyone with such influence.


    Perhaps they were linked to Sh somehow.


    Sh, after all, was an award-winning actress.


    It was likely she had some powerful people backing her up.


    Yet, amidst all this, something felt off to Lindsey.
