She suddenly grabbed Gale's shoulder and pushed her away forcefully. Their eyes met. Gale's eyes were swollen from crying. There were only four people in the private room. Two men and two women. Since she and Paul were in one room, then Aurum and Gale must have... Ivy's eyes widened slowly at the thought. Ivy forgot her own situation! Her heart was filled with shock for Gale! Despite being in the entertainment industry for so long, Ivy had always maintained her purity, never getting involved in scandals, never seducing wealthy men, never accepting any hidden rules. She only gave herself to the one she loved. So, losing her purity was heartbreaking for Ivy. However, her sadness, compared to Gale's, was completely different. Ivy was single and unmarried. Gale, on the other hand, was married to the most powerful man in Sea City – Shawn!If Gale had a relationship with Aurum, then... then..."I'm sorry, Ivy, it's my fault. I've implicated you. You could have stayed pure, but now... I

Just the thought of it was enough to make one feel overwhelmed! "Maybe, nothing happened between you two. It was because Paul was sober. He wasn't drugged. Both you and Aurum were unconscious, so it shouldn't be possible. Now that things aren't clear yet, you..."Gale shook her head. "Stop, Ivy." Her mind was a mess and a blur. She did not know if it had happened. She had no memory of it at all. However, the facts were right in front of her, denying it was difficult. Just because Shawn believed in her, and she believed in her own character, did not mean they could pretend nothing had happened. She could not deceive herself. She also understood that there would always be a thorn in Shawn's heart. This thorn had to be removed, and it could not be left in his heart forever. Otherwise, the wound would only get deeper, then fester, become inflamed, and eventually have to be cut out!"First, find out the whole story. With Mr. Wood's power, investigating what happened last night and findi

There would be no traces of this place very soon.That was all well. For Ivy, this place would forever be a reminder of her nightmare. Soon, this place would be demolished and rebuilt. The place in her memory would cease to exist. She walked with her head down briskly, arms folded around herself, rubbing her arms incessantly. Suddenly, someone blocked her path.She saw a pair of shiny leather shoes."Ivy."She hesitated, lifting her head to face the man in front of her.It was Aurum.Before last night, Ivy had a slight admiration for Aurum. She fantasized that perhaps, with time, they would grow fond of each other, appreciating each other more. However, Ivy knew that she was not worthy of Aurum anymore.Aurum looked at her, a hint of reluctance in his eyes. "You and Paul..."Ivy trembled, instinctively stepping back, pressing herself against the wall. "I don't want to hear that name!""Then, are you still planning to participate in this film?" he inquired.She bit her lip, si

What a good child, what a harmonious family. It seemed like she was about to lose it all. Gale felt ashamed to face Joshua and Nicole.Gale nodded. "You pick first. I'll give you whatever star you want, okay?"Joshua breathed a sigh of relief.His passion for astronomy, aviation, and the universe was ingrained in his bones.Last weekend, Lucas took him to the space station, where he saw astronauts. They even took a photo together, which he framed and put on his bedside table. He treated it as his treasure and looked at it every day when he woke up and before he went to bed.When the servants came to clean, he would not let them touch it. He wiped it gently by himself."Let me have it first; I'm younger. Mommy, you have everything already; you don't need to name a plain old star. Besides, what's mine is yours, right?"She had everything? Yes, she used to think so too, but now she feels differently. She had been robbed of something important to her. Gale suppressed her thoughts, u

"Do you know what you're doing? How much does it hurt me?" Shawn said with a tinge of sorrow in his voice.Gale's body trembled."Gale, stop punishing yourself like this; stop abusing your body. It pains me to see you like this. I don't want you to continue like this..." he said.She turned away."What you're doing is pointless; it won't help at all! What you and I need to do is find the person behind this, find the truth, find evidence, and not punish yourself!" Shawn said. Gale murmured, "Truth? What is the truth? Even if everything comes to light, what happened between me and Aurum is a fact, something that can't be changed.""Even if it's a fact, so what! Gale, I won't blame you; I don't care!""But I do! I can't face you. I'm not worthy of you. I have no right to stay by your side!" she shouted.Seeing Joshua and Nicole, Gale felt even sadder. Their faces gleamed with innocence. They did not know what had happened. So much could change in just one night! A tear in their p
