Listen to this chapter:

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

Chris didn’t leave immediately. He waited until the car had driven away before turning around and heading back into the hallway.

“I really don’t know what to say. You and Jessica weren’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 mean…”

“Don’t say so much. How’s it going with Indya?” Jessica frowned. “Don’t tell me she still can’t let go of Anthony?”

Shannon thought about her recent conversation with Indya. Overall, it wasn’t that she was still obsessed. Indya just thought it wasn’t necessary to be enemies forever.

If they could be friends, it wasn’t bad to have an old friend in an unfamiliar city. Besides, Anthony was going abroad and wouldn’t stay in Impelia long. Indya didn’t have any place for Anthony in her heart. If not a lover, then a friend – just an ordinary friend.

“That’s a relief,” 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 someone’s information wasn’t difficult. These people already knew Indya was Blake’s dedicated public relations person and even handled some agent duties. So Blake sending Indya home wasn’t seen as anything ambiguous or scandalous.

“This isn’t the result Blake wanted,” said Jessica as she took a sip of coffee from Shannon. The bitterness immediately cleared her mind, warming her body like an electric shock.

“Did Blake give you a hard time?” asked Shannon.

Jessica shook her head.

“Not exactly a hard time. I knew Blake liked Indya long before he signed the contract.”

Indya probably wouldn’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 wasn’t because Jessica deliberately recruited him. It was Blake’s careful planning.

“You mean Indya helped Blake years ago? And Blake had developed feelings for her back then?”

“Yeah. Anyway, that’s what Blake told me. And I remember that event he mentioned. Back then, I hadn’t fully taken over the Wilder Group yet, and Indya wasn’t working for me – she was just an unknown public relations manager.”

The situation back then was complicated. Even Blake, who had undergone psychological counseling, couldn’t fully remember everything. But he would never forget Indya’s appearance, nor would he forget her words.

“This isn’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?”

“What? Are you going to sue me?”

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.

“My name is Indya, public relations at Horizon Media. Feel free to sue me.”

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

“This isn’t your fault. But I’m not a lawyer. Here, take this.”

Indya handed Blake a business card.

“This is the best lawyer in Impelia. Hiring him for a court case won’t be cheap, but I think he will help you.”

With that, Indya left.
