"Someone might be fanning the flames in the background. The scandal exploded all of a sudden, it was clearly premeditated. President Shang, what should we do? If we continue like this, the group’s reputation will be further destroyed. Shareholders are starting to voice their opinions and they keep calling to inquire,"

Shang Jingchen clenched his fists: "You go out first, I’ll take care of this."

After the PR manager left, Shang Jingchen angrily grabbed the phone and dialed.

"Ye Lu, don’t go too far! Wasn’t revealing her background on television enough? What do you want to stop?" He shouted angrily into the phone. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Ye Lu didn’t expect him to call.

"I’m just revealing the truth, letting everyone know who this white lotus really is. Is that too much? Shang Jingchen, I really didn’t expect that you still have some deep feelings for her!" She responded with tangible sarcasm.

That white lotus surely had the ability. After seemingly making Shang Jingchen lose face, Shang Jingchen still helped her.

"You think you’re in the right? Just because you hate her and felt the need to reveal her origins, it was necessary to disclose those embarrassing photos to the media, expose her deepest scars, and humiliate her to the core? You’ve become so vicious. You do realize that she has disappeared, don’t you? Do you really want to drive people to a dead end?" Shang Jingchen was even more furious.

Ye Lu looked astonished, her face revealing disbelief.

She thought that he would slowly see Yuan Jiayin’s true colors. Rather unexpectedly, this jerk would go on to help and defend her, causing Ye Lu’s anger to erupt.

"Shang Jingchen, you idiot! So I’m the one humiliating her, and I’m the despicable one. But who was it that publicly slapped me several times, who revealed my origin and bastard child, and humiliated me? When she bullied me, who helped me then? Now that I’ve just revealed her true nature, you’re so heartbroken, you deserve to be deceived."

Ye Lu laughed coldly.

"If you sympathize with her, that’s your business, but I won’t tolerate this anymore, not only will I not stop, I will step-by-step expose her until she is discredited and disgraced."

"You...Ye Lu, you really want to push people too far." Shang Jingchen held the phone tightly, "This matter affects the reputation of the Shang Family. If you continue to stir up the wind and waves, I won’t let you go either!"

Then he hung up the phone. Ye Lu’s face turned blue with anger. This bastard, he’s such an idiot.

However, don’t expect her to stop, she can forgive anyone, but she’ll never forgive that wretched Yuan Jiayin.

...

At the moment, the missing Yuan Jiayin was in rented accommodation, her chilly eyes unblinkingly watching the various TV reports about her being a prostitute.

Bang! Suddenly, she jumped up and violently kicked over a table. Mugs and other objects were smashed all over the place.

"Ye Lu, you wretch, you’ve destroyed me," she said.

She was filled with resentment. She had worked so hard to achieve everything she had today, her long-maintained reputation in high society, everything was ruined, she had now become a prostitute that everyone despised.

"Do you think you can destroy me like this? Don’t even think about it, I’m not going down without a fight."

But for the time being, she couldn’t think of a way. Initially, she left a letter hoping to evoke Shang Jingchen’s sympathy, but she had been out for so long, and, surprisingly, Shang Jingchen hadn’t looked for her.

She couldn’t rely on Shang Jingchen anymore. What should she do? What should she do?

Yuan Jiayin’s face turned maniacal as if she was on the brink of madness. No, she wouldn’t just fall like this, she wanted revenge, she wanted to win back what was stolen from her.

Suddenly, Yuan Jiayin saw fragments on the ground, an idea flashed in her mind.
