Female Novel
Chapter 1442
Cindy nodded. She wanted to explain herself, but probably nobody would believe her. Worse still, theymight snip her statement and twist it to fit their own needs.
But even though the news had gone viral, it didn’t affect Ian’s shooting in the afternoon. The driver stillcame and drove them to the set, but the atmosphere was completely different.
Everyone was still happy around Ian, but there was disdain in their eyes when they looked at Cindy. Ofcourse, they didn’t show it right in front of her, but Cindy could read the room. Whenever they weretalking behind her back, she knew they were gossiping about her even though they weren’t looking ather.
Cindy sighed helplessly. After all, the rumors were too believable. If she was just another regularnetizen who wasn’t in the know, she might just believe this kind of news herself. And of course shewould think badly of a person like that.
When Ian was shooting, Cindy found a place to sit and went online to read the news despite herreluctance.
Hannah worked fast. Just a while ago, she released a legal statement and demanded the KOLs whoposted the fake news to delete their posts and make an official apology. The statement was written inan angry tone, but still, that didn’t stop the comments from pouring in. A lot of them said that if the newsonline was fake, then the company should post the truth of the event.
Ian’s fans were upset as well. They thought the statement didn’t explain everything the companyshould, so Ian was still embroiled in the scandal. Put it simply, the statement didn’t help anyone out.Instead, it only made things worse for Ian and Cindy. After all, the public thought that the company was
hiding something, since they wouldn’t explain anything.
Cindy didn’t know what the company was planning, but she knew Hannah didn’t want to go too far. Ifshe told everyone the truth, Linda’s career would be over. Linda wasn’t in the best situation right now,so if she got dragged into the scandal, not even the company could help her.
Cindy could understand why Hannah did that, but that didn’t mean she was fine with it. The scandalwas already affecting her, and she was no saint, so she would never sacrifice herself for someoneelse’s success. After she finished reading the news, she put her phone down and let out a long sigh.
She wanted to talk to Ian and see if he would step up and get himself out of this mess. She wasimmersed in her thoughts for a long time, and then her phone rang. The call startled her, and she sawthat it was from Ian after glancing at the caller ID.
Even though Ian was shooting, he could take a break sometimes. However, since the break wasn’tlong, he wouldn’t come out most of the time. That was why Cindy thought he had an emergency, soshe took the call immediately. However, the first thing he said was, “Don’t go online.” novelbin
Cindy didn’t tell him that she had already read everything. She just pursed her lips and said ‘okay’ aftera while.
A moment later, Ian continued, “We’ll talk about this after we get home. I’ll call Hannah too. I will not letyou take the blame for someone else.”
Cindy felt relieved after hearing that. It was great knowing that Ian cared about her even in tough timeslike this. “Sure. Thank you, Ian.”
Ian sighed. “You don’t have to thank me. After all, this whole mess started because of me. Linda’sdoing this because she dislikes me.”
The company’s resources were limited, and the same went for Hannah’s resources. Now that she wasgiving the lion’s share to Ian, of course Linda would have some complaints about it.
