If thepany’s higher-ups were involved, it surely meant trouble.


    Maybe Emilio was even orchestrating it all.


    Lindsey pressed her fingertips together, a wave of despair rising within her, mingled with a fierce bitterness and disappointment.


    She retreated to the restroom, dousing her face with cold water in an attempt to find her calm.


    Rumors had already been circting that Vitality Entertainment wasn’t the giant it once was, its glory days eclipsed by the rising star of Gallop Entertainment.


    The whispers hinted at a downfall rooted in its own rot from within.


    Lindsey knew if Sh inked a deal with Vitality, her career would likely crumble into nothing.


    At that moment, Lindsey felt that thepany no longer merited her loyalty or her sacrifices.


    Yet, she pondered if jumping ship to another enterprise would truly be any different.


    Deception and corruption seemed rampant everywhere.


    Perhaps the entire industry was tainted.


    Staring at the floor, Lindsey, who had always been astute and resilient, felt the harsh sting of reality.


    Her fingers curled into fists as she tried to lift her gaze to meet the reflection of the girl who had always been determined and unyielding.


    pping her cheeks lightly, she whispered a reminder to herself, “Lindsey, you’ve navigated through countless hurdles and disappointments to get here.


    Why let confusion and gloom overtake you now?” You’ve always


    been the type to light up your own path, no matter how dark it gets.


    ”


    A spark lit up in Lindsey’s eyes.


    A thought struck her.


    What if she used her inheritance to start her ownpany?


    It would be far better than working for someone else.


    That’s how she would honor Sh’s faith in her.


    Once the thought took hold, it grew as persistent as a budding flower.


    Lindsey stood tall, grinning at the determined girl in the mirror.


    No more second-guessing.


    She was ready to be her strongest self.


    Arturo drove Sh to his ce in Morcastle, a wealthy property developed by the esteemed Yates Group.


    “Arturo, release me, please!” Sh struggled against his firm grip as she endeavored to break free.


    Despite her efforts, Arturo’s strength prevailed, guiding Sh through the door and into the spacious bedroom, where he threw her onto thevish bed.


    “What is the meaning of this?” Sh protested, rising from the bed only to find herself pressed against the windowsill by Arturo’s imposing presence.


    His big hand slipped under her silk dress, lifting it and revealing arge part of her tender skin to the open air in an instant.


    “Since you refuse to go to the hospital, I shall conduct a check-up myself!” Wearing a sinister grin, Arturo seized Sh’s slender wrists, holding them above her head with one hand while tugging at the clothing that veiled her body.


    “I’ve also studied some medical skills during my time at university.Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    ”


    At first, Arturo harbored no ambition to inherit the Yates family legacy.


    His true passiony in medicine, a dream he pursued ndestinely by enrolling in medical school without his mother’s knowledge.


    Upon learning of his intention to pursue medicine, his mother became furious.


    She changed his applications andpelled him to enroll in a business school instead.
