    When the fans realized that Katrina was the person scheduled to appear, their anger surged to its


    peak. Their affection for ke also extended to Sylvia, and knowing the extent of her mistreatment,


    not a single person could sit still. They began chanting Katrina’s name, hurling insults at her.


    Already uncertain about how to take the stage, Katrina was further bewildered by their chants. She


    stood there, biting her lip, wishing she could just turn and leave, but the thought of the exorbitant


    penalty feet she’d face left her stuck in ce. If only she had never gotten involved in that mess.


    “Seems like Katrina isn’t too keen oning up here, but no matter, tell the legal department that


    she’s breached the contract. We’ll proceed ording to the agreement,” ke said, and the crowd


    understood. From the start, ke had never intended to give Katrina a tform. All he wanted was


    to make her pay, in


    a different sense.


    Hearing his words, Katrina’s head spun, her knees gave out, and she copsed to the floor, She


    couldn’t believe the man on stage, basking in the adoration of thousands under the spotlight, could


    speak such


    frigid words.


    He had said they’d follow the contract to the letter. Under those terms, she was ruined–she’d have


    to pay


    an astronomical breach of contract penalty.


    Katrina seethed with rage, pinning all me on Sylvia. If it weren’t for Sylvia’s interference, none of


    this would have happened. All her woes, she was convinced, sprang from Sylvia. She wouldn’t let


    Sylvia get

    off easily!


    With gritted teeth, she resolved to face the situation head–on. She’d try to mitigate the disastrous


    financial penalty, deciding she had to step up, regardless of the cost.


    Just as she was about to move, the next song started,pletely different from the one she was


    supposed to join. Katrina turned pale, instantly realizing this was a targeted move against her. She


    didn’t get far before her own agent pulled her away, pping her across the face.


    “I thought you could be of some help, but you’ve only caused chaos,” her agent berated her. “Do


    you have any idea how much effort I put into connecting with ke? And you ended up ruining it


    all!”


    With her face swelling from the p, Katrina turned incredulously to look at her agent, the person


    she had relied upon for smooth sailing throughout the years, never expecting he’d raise a hand


    against her.


    “Don’t act so high and mighty,” he snapped. “The higher–ups have already given up on you. Just


    come abroad with me, but know that doing so means the end of your career. Start thinking about


    your next steps.


    The agent spoke truly; he was thoroughly fed up with Katrina, who acted like a spoiled heiress,


    disying arrogance without the talent to back it up, and getting into trouble at every turn. Had it not


    been for certain backers, the agent would have washed his hands of her a long time ago. And now,


    after being abandoned by all, thest thing he intended to do was show her any kindness.


    concern i


    With those final words, the agent left, showing no what Katrina was thinking or going through.


    Katrina, feeling lost and dejected, left the concert and stood outside, unsure of her next move.

    She knew that everything she had today was because Cyril had been supporting her. Without him,


    she’d never have made it this far. But with the agent revealing that her backer had dropped her, it


    was clear Cyril had given up on her.


    “You can’t stay in the country anymore. It’s best you go abroad; it’ll be beneficial for whates


    next,” Cyril said without watching the concert anymore. Sylvia had left the event, and he saw no


    reason to stay. He hade out, pondering other matters that needed resolution.


    Tears streamed down Katrina’s face as she saw Cyril. She stared at him intently, wanting to ask why


    he


    was doing this to her, but the words were stuck in her throat.


    “All the things you did to Sylvia could have been ignored if you just stayed abroad and never came


    back.


    If you do return, I’ll settle every new and old grievance with you,” Cyril stated.


    Katrina’s tears fell uncontrobly as Cyril looked like a stranger to her–someone she had never


    known.


    “What do you mean by new and old grievances? What have I done to Sylvia? I just sent some


    photos, and you knew about it but never stopped me. Now you want to pin this on me–you are truly


    disgusting. I’ll tell


    you, you’re the most selfish person in the world!” Katrina said with bitterughter. Everyone thought


    she


    was wrong, overbearing.


    But in her view, as excessive as her actions might have been, she was openly pursuing her own


    desires.


    Cyril was different -he knew what he had done, yet he stood by and let everything happen without


    ever trying to help Sylvia. And now he was defending her in front of Katrina–what did that make of


    him and of


    her?


    “Did you realize you liked her after the divorce? What were you doing before that? She loved you so


    much, gave up everything to be by your side. She swallowed all the bitterness from the way others


    treated her. and now you feel indebted to her–what about before?” Katrina’s questions left Cyril


    speechless. His


    sense of debt was now toote; the hurt he’d caused couldn’t be remedied even if he wanted to


    make


    amends.


    “What happens between me and her is our business, and it has nothing to do with you anymore.


    Perhaps.


    you should spend your time figuring out how to survive abroad instead,” Cyril said, ready to leave.


    But as he turned to walk away, Katrina grabbed his sleeve, her hands trembling.
