"Sister..."
Just as Alice Turner was about to sit down, Lily Turner reached out and hugged her tightly, burying her face in her sister's embrace and crying uncontrollably.
At this moment, all the grievances she had suffered over so many days were fully unleashed.
Watching Lily sobbing in her arms, Alice felt an intense sorrow in her heart, and tears welled up in her eyes as well.
Fearing her tears might fall on Lily's head, Alice turned her face to the side, silently crying with her, sharing in her release of inner anguish and grievances.
After a long while, the two sisters gradually stopped crying.
"Sister!"
After crying, Lily seemed to be in a slightly better mood, a smile appeared on her beautiful face. Though faint, it was enough to let Alice breathe a sigh of relief.
"You really look like a little cat right now, go wash your face." To lighten the mood, Alice exaggeratedly joked.
"You're no better off yourself."
Lily retorted with a smile, got out of bed, and ran to the bathroom. Just as she reached the bathroom door, her phone rang in her pocket.
She took out her phone and saw that it was Freya Yeager calling. She quickly answered it, "Is there any result?"
Out of urgency, she went straight to the point.
"Yes!"
"Who exactly is the insider posting on the forums?"
Lily had a premonition that the insider posting online was someone she knew. She held her breath and listened carefully to Freya's answer to see if it was the same person she was speculating about.
Freya sighed softly, almost inaudible, and then slowly said a name, "Jenny York!"
"It really is her?!"
Lily wished so much that she was wrong, that this was just a nightmare, and that she would wake up and everything would return to how it was before.
Hearing this, Freya on the other end of the phone paused, "You already guessed it was her?"
"Freya, I want to handle this matter myself, is that okay?" Once confirmed to be Jenny York's doing, Lily decided to handle the matter herself. The grievances between them had to be resolved sooner or later; escaping was not a viable option.
Although this incident was targeted only at Lily, it had a ripple effect. Due to this situation, Lily's reputation was damaged, and uninformed fans started lashing out at her online.
Some fans clamored to never watch her movies or fashion shows again, even the ads she endorsed faced backlash.
Several companies that were planning to have her endorse their products saw the situation and ceased negotiations.
This was a personal loss to Lily, but also a loss to the company, a fact that Freya knew better than anyone. She dared not agree to Lily's request on her own, "I can't decide on this, I need to consult the boss."
"Alright, I'll wait for your news."
Despite feeling anxious and angry, Lily didn't act rashly and awaited the final outcome from Freya.
After hanging up the phone, Lily leaned against the wall by the bathroom door, dazed. When Alice came out looking for her, she saw Lily appearing dazed and shocked, and her heart suddenly tightened.
"Lily! What's wrong with you?" Wasn't she feeling better just now? Why has she turned like this again?
