Female Novel
Chapter 1395
Cindy was taken aback by the sight of such a warm smile. Although Ian would sometimes show thatside of him on stage, it couldn’t even compare to how he looked while he was making the call.
Unable to figure out the caller’s gender as she couldn’t hear who was on the phone, she was remindedof the girlfriend whom Ian mentioned long ago. Ian had mentioned the girl twice while on the talentshow, wearing a gentle look on his face whenever he did, which Cindy never saw again ever since theshow ended.
Meanwhile, Logan was still a little worried about Ian, so he told him that he would give Lorraine a headsup so she would look into the matter. However, Ian had no intention of letting it bother Logan, say lessof Lorraine. Although he was familiar with Logan, the same couldn’t be said of Lorraine, so he didn’tfeel comfortable allowing her to clean up his mess for him.
Therefore, Ian quickly stopped Logan. “No, don’t trouble Lorraine. My agency already got a grasp onthe situation, so we are now waiting for the perfect opportunity to reel in the line. We have definitiveproof that will allow us to get out of this mess, so you have nothing to worry about. It’s been a whilesince my debut, so I know better than to allow people to trample all over me.”
On the other hand, Cindy sat down on the sofa before averting her gaze. She’d heard Ian speak overthe phone before, but he’d never opened up like how he did now even when talking to Hannah, so shefigured that the person on the phone had to be someone special to Ian.
Over the phone, Logan asked after a moment’s pause, “Are you sure you’ll be able to handle this? Youdon’t have to be so courteous with me. We’ve been friends for such a long time, so we’ll go throughthick and thin together. I never saw you as a bother, and I’m more than glad to help solve your
problems.” novelbin
Chuckling, Ian answered, “Logan, I’m not withdrawing myself from you. Don’t worry. I’m certain that I’llbe able to settle this. I promise I’ll go to you if something unexpected happens later on, okay?”
There was a moment’s silence before Logan let out a hum. “Alright. Contact me if you encounter anyproblems.”
Meanwhile, Cindy didn’t want to keep eavesdropping on Ian’s conversation, so she browsed the net onher phone to update herself on the latest development. Hannah had issued a statement, but withheldthe proof.
The statement announced that everything was a misunderstanding, as Ian and Sena were merelycolleagues who only ever associated themselves with each other during work. It was also stated thatnothing ever happened between them, so whoever spread the rumors should stop before it was toolate.
Despite how righteous the statement sounded, Cindy thought it didn’t necessarily hit home. Even afterreading through the statement a few times, she was still confused about the intention behind it. On theother hand, Ian hung up after some time. He still had a smile on his face when he turned to look atCindy. “You should look at the frown you’re wearing. What did you see on the web?”
Cindy let out a sigh. “Ms. Jones issued a statement without the proof, so nobody is buying it.”
Nodding, Ian said, “That’s to be expected. Without proof, nobody would buy into something they find
online.”
As the situation stood, it wasn’t that Ian and Sena were having a standoff. Instead, it was more likemultiple different factions stepped in to show support for Sena. With so many people against Ian, thepublic were naturally inclined to believe in the faction that had the support of the majority.
Seemingly in a good mood, Ian resumed his game while sitting down on the sofa. He gave a furtherexplanation when he logged into the game. “We need to take note of how the others are reacting to thescandal while pushing things to its limit. With that, we’ll be able to determine who is on our side andwho isn’t.”
Taken aback by his analysis, Cindy caught on to what he meant after taking some time to mull thingsover. Later on, Ian directed his attention to his game, so he stopped speaking. That day seemed to behis lucky day, as he had a winning streak. Meanwhile, Cindy opted to keep a close eye on thedevelopment of the situation after some hesitation, as she wanted to know who else would join in onthe fray.
Truth be told, neither did Sena’s faction manage to show any substantial proof. Loads of people wereappealing for the show producers to release footage of the surveillance record in front of the dressingroom to verify whether Sena’s claims were true.
