Chapter 153,Coolest Girl in Town
After everything was over, Charlene calmly got up and put her clothes back on. “Don’t tell anybody
about this just yet. I have my own ns.” Satisfied with their earlier entanglement, the man was
obedient. “Don’t worry. Your word goes. I’ll help you continue keeping an eye on him. If I dig up
something else, I’ll be sure to inform you immediately.” Charlene was pleased by his answer. “All right
then. That’s all for today. You can go back first.” The man got up, his reluctance obvious as he wrapped
his arms around her waist. “How I wish I could be with you every second of the day.
I don’t want to part with you for even a moment.” Charlene chuckled. “There will be plenty of time for
that.” A pleased look came over the man’s face when he heard that. After he leaned forward and kissed
Charlene’s cheek, he left. Charlene looked at the bundle of photos after the man left, an idea already in
her mind. She walked straight out of the room and headed to the reception counter. “Is Jack here at the
agency today?”
“He is. ording to the schedules, he should be rehearsing in the singing practice room today,” said
the receptionist. Having gotten the information she wanted, Charlene thanked the receptionist. She
then took the elevator up. Jack was currently rehearsing for amercial performance. Right at that
moment, the door to the practice room swung open. Charlene stood by the door and watched Jack
practice, fascinated, but she didn’t interrupt him. Once Jack finished singing, she finally pped. “Nice
singing chops. No wonder you’re the most popr singer out there now.”
Jack’s brows furrowed slightly. He didn’t show any indication that he was delighted about Charlene’s
sudden appearance. Instead, he coldly asked, “Why are you here?” Charlene didn’t mind his
dismissiveness toward her though as she strode over to him. “I came to see you, of course. After all,
thepany has ns for us to coborate and release a single together. I think it’s a good n. Why
don’t we give it a try?” Jack immediately refused. “Sorry, not interested. If you have nothing else to say,
please leave. Don’t bother me while I’m practicing.”
Charlene wasn’t miffed by his answer. Instead, sheughed and followed him. “Who said that I’m
done? I never just show up without a reason.” Jack was already at the end of his patience. “If you have
something to say, say it. Otherwise, get out.” She wasn’t in a hurry. Instead, she smirked. “I heard that
you’ve been dating someone recently, and your partner is even a high school student. Is that true?” At
those words, Jack’s eyes promptly darkened. Although he had no idea where Charlene had gotten this
ridiculous, made-up rumor, her words would definitely harm a girl’s reputation. “You heard? Do you
have proof?” Jack asked. The smile on Charlene’s face widened, for she realized that Jack had gotten
nervous.
This was a good sign. It proved that the events in the photos were most likely real. “Don’t get yourself
too worked up. I may have heard a rumor, but the informant was there at the scene. The informant
even said that you two went to a hospital recently…” Jack could no longer bear to hear her continue. “If
you’ve got anything to say, say it all at once. But I’m warning you—defamation is a crime.” Charlene
hadn’t expected Jack to bristle this much, but she hadn’te here to pick a fight with Jack. “Young
Master Jack, how heavy your words are. I came looking for you today because for one, I have definite
proof.
That’s why I’m even talking to you like this. And secondly, I actually haven’t nned about releasing
anything even though I do have proof. I just have a teeny-tiny request that I want you to fulfill. Can I
interest you with a deal, using the proof I have?” Jack wondered if Charlene had a few screws loose. “I
don’t know what proof you’re talking about, but that won’t threaten me. As for the deal you mentioned,
sorry, but I’m not interested. Go look for someone else.” Jack had shot her down very directly.
Charlene hadn’t expected him to not give her the time of day at all. Initially, she thought of using the
material she had to strike a deal with Jack and manipte her current position in the entertainment
industry. But now, it was evident that she couldn’t use Jack for that n. Charlene watched him, still
unwilling to let things slip. “Are you sure? If the proof I have on hand gets leaked, your reputation might
end uppletely in the gutter. Are you not at all worried?” Jack couldn’t bear listening to her anymore.
He thought that Charlene didn’t just have a few screws loose in her head; even her mentality was
unhinged.
Haven’t I made things clear enough, or can she not understand human speech? “What should I be
worried about? Miss Rivers, if you have the time to talk about unsubstantiated rumors and attempt to
make underhanded deals, then you have the time to spend on working on your craft. Other than a
single song released when you debuted years ago, have you had any other works? As entertainers in
showbiz, at the end of the day, we need skills to back up our words. Is there any point when you keep
talking about things that may or may not be true?”
Charlene’s face oscited between red and white from anger after Jack rebuked her. Her expression
was not at all a pretty sight. To top it off, Jack’s words struck Charlene in all her critical spots, ripping
open her old wounds that she didn’t want anyone to see. In all actuality, she didn’t have any other
works to show for herself. Her solo release had also been something that she had stolen from H years
ago. Charlene quietly clenched her fists. She wanted to say more, but Jack didn’t want to continue to
humor her. When he saw that she still hadn’t left, he picked up his jacket and left the practice room
instead.
Instantly, Charlene was the only one left in the massive practice room. She looked at herself in the
mirror, feeling like a joke. So that’s how you want to y it, Jack? If you won’t give me an easy time,
you can forget about living well too. Charlene took out her phone and dialed a number. “Andrew, I have
a huge scoop that I’d like to sell to you…” Upon hearing that Charlene had a scoop for him, Andrew
scrambled to ask, “Who’s the unfortunate soul you set your sights on this time?” Charlene’s eyes
darkened as she said, “Jack Griffith.” However, she hadn’t thought that Andrew would immediately
refuse after he heard that it was a member of the Griffith Family.

“I don’t have the guts to spill anything about him. Their PR team is a wall. And besides, with the Griffith
Group backing them, I’m going to be in seriously hot water if they decide toe after me for
payback.” Charlene’s expression began to scrunch up. “What? Don’t tell me you’re scared too?” “It’s
not a matter of being scared. You have to know, there are some dos and don’ts in my line of work. Still,
I’m rather curious about what kind of earth-shattering, juicy info you have in hand.”
When she heard him say that, Charlene knew that Andrew was seriously interested in the information
she had. Instantly, sheposed herself. “What I have here is enough to destroy Jack Griffith. I just
wonder if you have the courage to expose him.” Now that Charlene had said that, Andrew was no
longer simply interested in the information she was sitting on. “Sounds like really valuable material.
Name your price.” Shortly after their negotiation, Charlene received a notification from her bank
informing of an iing fund transfer. She then sent her backup copies of the photos to Andrew. 8
p.m. was when office workers were free after work.
After grinding through a day’s work, they would scroll through Twitter and other social media tforms.
Right at that hour, however, a series of photos that no one expected were published as sponsored
posts. Soon after that, ‘Jack Griffith Exposed For Dating,’ ‘Jack Griffith Solicits Underage High School
Student,’ ‘Jack Griffith Forced Girlfriend Into Abortion,’ and other simr phrases shot their way onto
Twitter’s trending page. The top three trends were all rted to the photos of Jack. Whenizens saw
the photos, they were all taken aback. SentimentalBean: ‘Are these pics real?
Who would have thought that Jack would be the kind of person to hurt minors? That’s disgusting.’
I’mYourFrog: ‘Gotta reevaluate how I view the world now. Why does showbiz have someone like him?
Quit your job.’ HappyPrince: ‘He’s practically like the grossest of scumbags. I’ve got no idea how
someone like him still has fans.’ JustAWolf: ‘I just pity the girl. So young, yet already forced into things
like this.
It’s in to see that Jack was just toying with her. This is just so harmful toward her, especially since
she’s underage.’ Instantly, Twitter was riddled with Tweets and replies about the photos. Out of ten
posts, nine of them would be criticizing ormbasting Jack. Charlene couldn’t stop the smug look on
her face as she watched the posts stream in. This is what happens when you go against me, Jack.
