Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 1978

However, Yulia was wrong in thinking that Ian was a soft-hearted person because he had never been one. Even if Yulia were to sit in front of him today and cry, he would also not feel anything much. Being in the entertainment industry, he was aware that he should make it clear between public and private matters and not act impulsively.

Besides, he also had a cold temperament, so even if it was in the past before he entered the entertainment industry, she had already made things difficult for him so many times before. Now that she came over to beg him to help, there was a chance he wouldn’t agree to help her.

A pertinent thing in life was to have a good memory, which was something Ian had always done well in this aspect.

Cindy was initially a little sleepy, but after receiving Ian’s call, she was wide awake at once. Then, she asked him how Hannah had dealt with the trending searches, to which Ian replied, “Two of those have been removed while there are still two online. We can’t remove them all at once as people would easily suspect us of being guilty.”

Cindy nodded. She didn’t even need to ask to know that the matter of Yulia and Ian was still trending online. After all, the impact of this matter was relatively large, so if they removed it at once, they both would be suspected of being guilty. Since the two sides had the same idea, none of them decided to remove the news and merely allowed it to slowly fade out.

She tentatively said, “Actually, Yulia is pretty pitiful. All she did was fall in love, yet she ended up in this terrible situation.”

However, Ian did not feel sorry for Yulia. The capital game was just like this and the entertainment

industry was a place where tides would quickly turn. She used to cause many people to lose their reputations and it was merely the turn of the tide for her now.

He had also previously heard some of the rumors surrounding her because some celebrities under Hannah’s care had also gone to Yulia to take photos for magazine covers. In short, Yulia did not give those people even the basic respect. She was too high and mighty while taking herself too seriously— so much so that she thought that treating others in a mean way was no big deal. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Gripping the phone, Cindy smiled a little. Since Ian had such a negative attitude toward Yulia, she felt relieved. She agreed and responded, “Yeah, life is full of ups and downs.”

Then, Ian continued, “I didn’t talk much to her, but I feel that I should tell you about this. Honestly, I’m afraid of the media exposing our meetup. I’m not afraid about what others think, but I’m afraid that you would overthink.”

Cindy raised her hand to support her chin, the smile on her face widening. “Are you afraid that I’ll be angry?”

“Yes.” Ian’s tone was also filled with amusement. “You are my queen, so if you become mad, I will not be able to live another day.”

She thought that she was already used to his cheesy lines, but now that she heard this, her heart still blossomed with happiness. As she grunted, she answered, “Okay, okay. I got it, but you absolutely cannot meet her again. I am not jealous; I am just worried that your reputation will be affected by her.”

He understood, so he promised Cindy that he would not meet Yulia again.

Then, the two talked for a while more before hanging up. Cindy still couldn't sleep, so she leaned on the headboard and gripped her phone in a somewhat dazed manner. She remembered the project that she had invested in with Gary.

Gary had quoted an amount before, saying that the current revenue had doubled many times over from before. In fact, as long as they maintained a good working relationship with him and invested with him, they could earn a lot of money and would be able to live a good life.

However, she did not know what Ian thought of it. She was not particularly ambitious and felt that a comfortable life was all she wanted. Nevertheless, she could only think about it and not act at the moment. Hence, she sighed and after a while, she lay on the bed and fell asleep with the quilt wrapped tightly around her.
