Otherwise, I'll make these photos public and let all your fans see how their beloved star with millions of followers was once molested by an old man!" "What?" Lisbeth Whitaker looked up in shock, unable to believe what she was hearing. This was her husband of five years, who had cheated on her with the female caregiver she'd hired to look after him. Now he was resorting to blackmail to force her into a divorce so he could make room for his mistress!

This too shall pass," Lisbeth laughed through her tears.It was a truth she'd learned the hard way—no matter how bitter, how difficult, how painful, everything eventually fades with time.Even the deepest wounds become insignificant scars that one day won't hurt when touched.Her assistant couldn't hold back her own tears. "Ms. Whitaker... you don't have to be so strong. I don't want to see you like this; I feel heartbroken.""If you lost something you once treasured, would you be sad?" Lisbeth asked softly."Of course!" The assistant wiped her eyes. "I'd cry my eyes out."Lisbeth gave a hollow laugh and dried her face. "But life goes on. It's not like the end of the world, right?"The assistant fell silent. It was true.The earth keeps turning, the sun keeps rising. In the grand scheme of things, how significant could one person's heartbreak really be?"Come on, no more tears," Lisbeth said. Just like that, she seemed to recover. The tears vanished, replaced by a gentle s
The press room was packed with reporters, all drawn to today's headline event: Leopold and Elora's public apology."You think this apology is legit?" one journalist whispered."They wouldn't lie at an official press conference, would they?""So they really did smear Lisbeth?""If it's true, this is front-page material. Get good shots."The whispers died down as Leopold and Elora finally made their entrance. His face was a mask of reluctance—the product of Elora's tearful pleading throughout the previous night.Every time he'd refused, she'd burst into tears, looking so pitiful that Leopold eventually couldn't hold out.Now on stage, his expression remained rigid, his lips pressed into a thin line. Before he could speak, the main doors opened, revealing two unexpected arrivals.Lisbeth, with her young assistant by her side.She stood in the doorway, feeling the weight of countless stares like knives—examining, judging, dissecting her every move.Outside, Sebastian waited in the car. Hi
Lisbeth tactfully stood up, preparing to leave the room."Stay here," Sebastian said, stopping her. "I'll take this outside." He walked out the door as he answered the call.An elderly voice came through the line. "Mr. York, I appreciate your consideration, but I've hung up my scalpel. I no longer perform surgeries. If you need assistance, I can recommend one of my students."Sebastian leaned against the doorframe, his voice calm. "For this particular surgery, it must be you.""Then I can only apologize. Had you asked even three months ago, I would have agreed."After hanging up, Sebastian pondered briefly before calling Noah. "Book me a flight to Marigoldia for three days from now.""Are you going to see the old professor?""Yes." Since the professor claimed to have retired, Sebastian would go in person.A phone call might not carry enough weight, but he was confident the old man wouldn't refuse him face-to-face."There are no flights in three days, but there's one tomorrow.""Then c
Seeing Lisbeth's icy glare, Leopold had a flash of something in his mind, a painful twinge in his chest.Could she be telling the truth?As he opened his mouth to speak, Elora suddenly stepped forward, blocking his view of Lisbeth."Lisbeth, even now, you're still trying to twist the facts and slander Leopold? How can you be so heartless?"Lisbeth was tall with striking features—before her disfigurement, her every expression had been captivating. Elora, by contrast, had the delicate, innocent look of a traditional beauty.Her white dress billowed in the breeze as she spread her arms protectively, shielding the much taller Leopold behind her with a fragile, pitiful air.Leopold immediately dismissed his moment of doubt and wrapped his arm around Elora protectively. "Elora, why bother talking to someone like her?"Lisbeth gave a cold laugh, refusing to look at them further as she pushed through the crowd. "I've said everything I needed to say. Excuse me.""Ms. Whitaker! Ms. Whitaker!" t
