Listen to this chapter:

Jessica and Shannon got into the car and rolled down the window.

Chris didnโ€™t leave immediately. He waited until the car had driven away before turning around and heading back into the hallway.

โ€œI really donโ€™t know what to say. You and Jessica werenโ€™t in a very good relationship before, and I was worried every day. Now that things are getting better, you just have to show off in front of someone single like me. I meanโ€ฆโ€

โ€œDonโ€™t say so much. Howโ€™s it going with Indya?โ€ Jessica frowned. โ€œDonโ€™t tell me she still canโ€™t let go of Anthony?โ€

Shannon thought about her recent conversation with Indya. Overall, it wasnโ€™t that she was still obsessed. Indya just thought it wasnโ€™t necessary to be enemies forever.

If they could be friends, it wasnโ€™t bad to have an old friend in an unfamiliar city. Besides, Anthony was going abroad and wouldnโ€™t stay in Impelia long. Indya didnโ€™t have any place for Anthony in her heart. If not a lover, then a friend โ€“ just an ordinary friend.

โ€œThatโ€™s a relief,โ€ Jessica sighed.

Shannon sat beside Jessica and checked recent trending searches. Besides the Wilder Group, Blake, and Michael, the hottest topic was still Blake giving Indya a lift home. Fans were from all over the country, so looking up someoneโ€™s information wasnโ€™t difficult. These people already knew Indya was Blakeโ€™s dedicated public relations person and even handled some agent duties. So Blake sending Indya home wasnโ€™t seen as anything ambiguous or scandalous.

โ€œThis isnโ€™t the result Blake wanted,โ€ said Jessica as she took a sip of coffee from Shannon. The bitterness immediately cleared her mind, warming her body like an electric shock.

โ€œDid Blake give you a hard time?โ€ asked Shannon.

Jessica shook her head.

โ€œNot exactly a hard time. I knew Blake liked Indya long before he signed the contract.โ€

Indya probably wouldnโ€™t have guessed it, but she and Blake had met before. A long, long time ago, even before Blake had recovered from the forced relationships, Indya had seen him and even helped him. So Blake coming to the Wilder Group wasnโ€™t because Jessica deliberately recruited him. It was Blakeโ€™s careful planning.

โ€œYou mean Indya helped Blake years ago? And Blake had developed feelings for her back then?โ€

โ€œYeah. Anyway, thatโ€™s what Blake told me. And I remember that event he mentioned. Back then, I hadnโ€™t fully taken over the Wilder Group yet, and Indya wasnโ€™t working for me โ€“ she was just an unknown public relations manager.โ€

The situation back then was complicated. Even Blake, who had undergone psychological counseling, couldnโ€™t fully remember everything. But he would never forget Indyaโ€™s appearance, nor would he forget her words.

โ€œThis isnโ€™t his fault. What does it mean to say the victim is guilty? If a woman is forced into a relationship is a disgrace, is it right to think men deserve all of this?โ€

โ€œWhat? Are you going to sue me?โ€

Back then, Indya was still beautiful, wearing a light-colored short skirt with long wavy hair and bright red lips. She flicked her hair and looked at the other person.

โ€œMy name is Indya, public relations at Horizon Media. Feel free to sue me.โ€

After saying that, she grabbed the stunned Blake, who was frozen by the reportersโ€™ questions, and took him away. Only when they reached a quiet corner did she let go, looking helpless.

โ€œThis isnโ€™t your fault. But Iโ€™m not a lawyer. Here, take this.โ€

Indya handed Blake a business card.

โ€œThis is the best lawyer in Impelia. Hiring him for a court case wonโ€™t be cheap, but I think he will help you.โ€

With that, Indya left.
