Chapter 232: Trouble

Gillian’s POV:

“#Christopher’s relationship exposed.” “#Christopher forces underage girlfriend to have an abortion.”

The headlines exploded. These shocking words immediately shot to the top of Twitter’s trending list, taking the top three spots. Internet users stared at the photos in disbelief, one after another, their jaws dropped.

LuvYou4ever wrote, “Is this real? I can’t believe this is who Christopher is. He’s disgusting!” MiniPepe commented, “This completely shatters everything I thought I knew. How can someone like him be an idol singer in the entertainment industry? He should leave!” HappyPrince typed, “This jerk is the worst of the worst. I can’t believe people still follow him.” Arrrooo chimed in, “I feel so sorry for that girl. She’s so young and was forced to do something like this. It’s clear he was just fooling around. This hurt the girl so much.”

The comments flooded in, most of them condemning Christopher. Nine out of ten were slamming him. I read through them, feeling triumphant. This was the price Christopher paid for crossing me.

“Gillian, this is bad! Something terrible has happened!” My manager rushed over, breathing heavily. “Christopher’s in trouble.”

I stayed calm, a smile creeping onto my face as I asked, “What could possibly be so serious to make you panic like this?”

My manager, thinking I didn’t know the details, grabbed my arm, her eyes wide with shock. “I don’t know who did it, but someone had the nerve to expose Christopher’s secrets.”

“And these revelations are huge! If this continues, Christopher’s career could be over.”

I raised an eyebrow, looking at her, and asked, “Isn’t that better? It gives me a chance to rise ‘up.’”

My manager gave me a confused look. “Wait a minute, Gillian. You were always the one trying to get on his good side. Why the sudden change?”

I said nonchalantly, “Really? Has my attitude really changed? I just think we’re all adults here, Christopher has to face the consequences of his actions. Besides, someone like him doesn’t deserve sympathy.”

Chap 232: Trouble

My silly manager finally realizing what was going on. 53%

She stared at me with wide eyes and asked, “Something doesn’t add up. Tell me the truth. Does this have something to do with you?”

Since she was on my side, I decided to be honest with her and spill the beans. “This is a lesson for him. It’s his fault for looking down on me.”

She was stunned, silent for a long time to process this. Then she finally spoke, her voice filled with disbelief. “You’re in big trouble. Do you realize the consequences for what you’ve done?”

I brushed her off and said, “Everything he’s done is a fact. Why should I be scared? I’ve been stuck in my career for a long time; I’ve had enough of being belittled. How dare he look down on me? For that alone, he deserves to burn in hell.”

“And let’s be clear, I’m a beta just like him. I’m not scared of him.”

My manager was fuming now. She said, “I don’t even recognize you anymore. You weren’t like this before.”

“Do you know who Christopher really is? His family is not simple. He comes from the most powerful pack—Midnight Pack. His brother is the Alpha, and he’s part of the family that controls everything.”

“If the Southwells decide to retaliate, it’s not just you who’ll be in danger. Our entire company could go down.”

I knew what she was saying, but I couldn’t stand Christopher’s condescending attitude toward me. We were both betas, but he treated me like I was an omega. I couldn’t accept that.

Without explaining any further, my manager sighed deeply. “Forget it. Now’s not the time to discuss all this. We need to figure out what to do next.”
