Timothy was momentarily confused by the voice on the other end of the line. "Who is this?""You bastard, have you forgotten the shameful things you did last night? You're so despicable for pretending not to know me!"Timothy was bewildered. "I honestly don't know who you are, woman. What did I do wrong? Who are you?"Suddenly, a woman came to mind. Could it be Kara from the bar the previous night? He had interacted with her then.He tentatively asked, "Are you Kara?"When she was silent, he scratched his head as he smiled wryly. "Well, it must be you then. However, what shameful things did I do? Is this perhaps a misunderstanding?"Kara said coldly, "I'm giving you 15 minutes to come back to the hotel, or I'll jump off the building!""Go ahead, I don't care. I didn't do anything to you!""Fine! Just remember you said that!"Then, Timothy heard the sound of footsteps, followed by the rushing wind. He felt a jolt of fear. Was she serious about that?Kara's voice was laced with

Kara quietly gathered her hair, her red-rimmed eyes filled with a deep, sorrowful look as she glanced at Timothy. Then, she said softly, "A few days ago, I went with them to your house to break off the engagement. I know you must have been furious with me, thinking I'm a selfish, opportunistic woman."Timothy narrowed his eyes, studying her thoughtfully.Kara's gaze drifted out the window as she continued, "But who really understands me? Unlike the other families, they have parents and family support. I have no one. "I can't rely on the Reed family's influence. I have to rely on myself, so I have to work hard to make myself outstanding and not let anyone disrupt my life or plans."She looked at Timothy, her eyes reflecting a mix of emotions. "Timothy, whether you believe it or not, if my parents were still alive and I didn't have to worry about survival, I wouldn't have broken off the engagement. I would have kept my promise from back then, married you, and started a family."How

It turned out to be a group of paparazzi. Leading them was Blaise Hale, a scruffy young man with bleached hair, grinning widely. "Ms. Reed, you're best known for your pure image in the entertainment industry right now. Everyone's calling you the 'Nation's Darling.' Who would have thought you'd be here in a hotel room with another man? This is shocking news!"His words stirred up murmurs among the other paparazzi, all of them wearing smirks that suggested they had evil intentions up their sleeves."Ms. Reed, stop hiding under the covers. We've already taken the pictures. Let's discuss how to handle this. If these photos get out, I'd say your image in the entertainment industry is over."Kara's eyes reddened with anger. She sat up from under the covers, glaring at the group of paparazzi at the door. "You're despicable and shameless! Can't I have any privacy? Why do you always have to follow me?""You're a celebrity, and we're paparazzi. If we don't follow you, who should we follow,

This was the first time Kara had seen someone stand up to paparazzi like that.Timothy scratched his head. "It's all taken care of. Don't thank me. I don't want those photos getting out either as it'd be hard to explain."Kara gave him a resentful look. "What is there to explain? You did sleep with me."Timothy didn't know how to respond. Suddenly, a charming smile appeared on Kara's innocent face, her cheeks flushing with a shy pink."Timothy, you were quite manly just now. If you weren't so broke, I bet a lot of girls would be interested in you and might even jump into bed with you. Unfortunately, you don't have the money."Timothy's mouth twitched. "Will no woman in this society like a man if he has no money? Is he worth nothing?"Kara pouted thoughtfully. "Not necessarily. There are some girls who don't care about material conditions.""What about you?"Kara bit her lip and said softly, "I don't care either. If a man can give me a sense of security, truly love me, and be my

Losing her composure, Isabelle pointed at the security guard and demanded, "Hey! Open the door!"The guard glanced at her and replied, "Who are you looking for? You need to register, and I'll notify them."Irritated, Serena snapped, saying, "Why do we need to register? The person who went in just now didn't have to.""No comment," the guard said curtly.Isabelle and Serena were fuming, but their anger was mixed with shock and confusion. Why had Timothy been able to walk in without a word?A terrifying possibility crossed Isabelle's mind. Could Timothy be an employee of the Lormford Chamber of Commerce?Isabelle shook her head vehemently. Timothy was just a broke guy. How could he possibly be an employee there? She decided to find out more about him.She bit her lip and addressed the guards again, saying, "We're here to see Mr. Zack Larson to deliver herbs. You can call him to verify."One of the guards glanced at Isabelle and then went into the security booth to make a phone ca
