Leaving the filming studio, Winnie went straight back home.
The assistant spoke tentatively, “Winnie, why not if I stay here with you?”
Winnie smiled and shook her head, “I’m really fine. I’ll be just fine after a shower and a nap. I can have
a good reason to skip work too. That’s nice.”
“So…”
“You can also take it as a day off and go have some fun.”
With this kind of situation now, the assistant didn’t have the mood to have fun. But as she saw Winnie’s
expression, it wasn’t appropriate for her to say anything more. So she left reluctantly and said, “So, I’ll
leave first. You can call me anytime.”
Winnie nodded and sent her to the door, “Be careful on the way back.”
The assistant turned around and waved at Winnie.
After the assistant went into the elevator, Winnie withdrew her gaze, closed the door and headed for
the living room. She collapsed onto the sofa lazily.
After dazing for a while, Winnie took out her phone and flipped through the online comments.
Although her fans were still doing their best to defend her and help her clarify, it was just like what the
person in charge had said this afternoon. She had been in a relationship with Chassell before and the
boundaries were quite ambiguous at this point.
She could do it with a clear conscience, but for the outside world, there was no convincing power.
Now Flora and Chassell were in this together, and they even brought so many innocent people in,
could she still have a clear conscience?
There was no way to ignore the remarks from the outside world.
Thinking of this, Winnie put down her phone and sat up. She couldn’t just do anything about it.
She changed her clothes, put on a hat and a mask, took the car keys, and went into the underground
garage.
When she arrived at Chassell’s company, the receptionist said, “Mr. Barret went out ten minutes ago.”
Winnie said, “Did he say where he went?”
“I’m not sure about this.”
Winnie pursed her lips, said thanks and went out of the company.
At this moment, the sun was setting and the afterglow was reflected onto the ground, forming a shadow
on the ground.
She walked aimlessly on the road until it was getting dark and the street was lit up by the street lamps
one by one.
The pedestrians on the road were in a hurry, all seeming to be rushing to get home.
She walked from one street to another, not knowing where she was supposed to go.
After a long time, she sat down on a bench and took out her phone. It was already 11 p.m.
She still hadn’t thought of an idea.
But what could she do about it?
Winnie let out a breath and edited a post. She wanted to prepare this and to post it after the PR
department posted the clarification. With this, the impact could also be reduced to a minimum.
Winnie held the phone and waited for the time to pass.
At 11.30 p.m., the Conrad Group’s public relations department posted a post using her team’s official
account.
However, the content was not an accusation against Flora, but it was a clarification of the online rumour
about her being a mistress, which did not mention a single word about Flora.
Winnie refreshed the page and found that the official account of the City N newspaper posted a
recording five minutes ago. Rather than saying it as a recording, it should be considered as an
interview.
The person being interviewed was Chassell’s ex-wife, the one who accused her of destroying their
family and uniting many media to suppress her.
In the interview, Chassell’s ex-wife said, “Before Chassell and I got married, he liked to have affairs
outside, but I chose to ignore it because I was lazy to care about him. But he actually took advantage of
my inattention and got together with an actress. He was so generous to her and always pretending to
look so deeply in love. This made me upset.”
The reporter asked, “So the truth is that he hid his marriage from the outside world, and that’s why he
was so reckless in courting others?”
“Have you ever seen a cheating man that would tell you how unethical he is?” Chassell's ex-wife said,
“I guess I was just too angry at first. I warned him several times but he would not listen. So I looked for
someone to expose them.”
“Before that, did you look for Winnie and tell her about the situation?”
“Why should I tell her? Besides, thanks to her great influence, it was only during that time that Chassell
got scared and came back obediently. Otherwise, he would not be so good for so many years.”
“Then you also know that Winnie is actually innocent in this matter, and she is also a victim, right?”
“What does this have to do with me? I just need to get what I want.”
Although Chassell’s ex-wife didn’t admit it directly, the full story was told in this interview.
The audio of this interview was instantly topped on the first of the hot search list.
Winnie quit the page and dialled the number of the person in charge.
After the call was answered, she hurriedly spoke, “The interview sent by the City N newspaper is
your…”
The person in charge said, “It’s not us. I don’t know what the situation is, but I received a notice from
the assistant’s office, asking me to send this statement directly.”
“Nathan?”
“Yes.” The person in charge added, “You can repost the post from the City N newspaper’s account
now.”
Winnie said, “Okay, I got it, thanks.”
When she hung up the phone, she was about to call Nathan, but she found one more thing on the hot
search list.
It was Chassell’s apology letter.
He admitted that when he first court Winnie, he deliberately concealed the fact that he was married,
and although he gave Winnie many things, Winnie didn’t accept anything from him and returned them
all.
At the end of the letter, he expressed his feeling. He said that he was too deeply in love with Winnie,
only then he made such a mistake. Now, he was sincerely apologizing to Winnie, but also to all those
who were hurt because of this matter.
Winnie looked at this pure and sincere apology and felt a little confused. So, this was the power of
money, right?
It was just that even if Mr. Conrad intervened in this matter, he would not do things up to this level…
With doubts in her heart, Winnie called Nathan.
Nathan knew her intention and explained, “It was a madam who instructed me to do so, and the
reporter from the City N newspaper was also contacted by her.”
“Stella?”
“Yes.” Nathan continued, “Madam is quite upset about this matter, so she has been thinking of a
solution this afternoon.”
As he said, Nathan said with emotions, “It was madam’s idea. She thought of finding Chassell’s ex-wife
and gave him a surprise. He was too shocked and became speechless. I guess he’s jumping with
anger now.”
“But he apologized…”
Nathan did not get what she meant, “What?”
Winnie repeated, “He apologized just a few minutes ago.”
“How could he possibly have this kind of consciousness?”
Winnie also found it strange too. Listening to Nathan’s tone, it should not be their doing either.
As for Stella’s side, since she had approached Chassell‘s ex-wife, she didn’t take the extra step of
going to Chassell’s side.
Winnie knew what kind of person he was. He couldn't send an apology letter so quickly.
