Chapter 721


    It was already half-past seven at night when Winnie reached the studio.


    Perhaps it was because of the peak hour after work, the discussion about Winnie and Chassell


    reached another high point.


    Not only did the public attention not die down, but it had taken a whole new dimension.


    There were several customers in the studio. Winnie wore a face mask and a hat and quickly walked to


    Ste''s office. She gently knocked on the door, which was quickly opened.


    Ste said, "Come in quick."


    Winnie removed her face mask and heaved a sigh before asking, "What happened?"


    rence sat on the sofa, looked at her, and asked, "Did you go to the Conrad Group?"


    Winnie was speechless. How did they know?


    rence seemed to have known the answer to his question. He spoke casually, "How did the Conrad


    Group exin to you?"


    Winnie slowly sat opposite him and did not know how to respond.


    After several seconds, she said, "They''ve agreed to return my Twitter ount and let me rify the


    matter on my own."


    rence acknowledged and then asked, "How do you intend to do this?"


    "The video was edited. I will need to find the original video." Winnie replied.


    "Are you confident of getting it?" rence asked.


    Winnie was stumped as she did not know where to begin. It was obvious that the Conrad Group would


    not help her resolve this. So, she could only rely on herself. If just now she had submitted to the


    company''s decision, then she had to swallow all her pride. But now she was at the forefront of this


    matter and the longer she dragged this, the worse it was for her.


    Winnie was silent for a moment before she said, "There must be video cameras outside the apartment


    complex. Perhaps they had recorded the incident."

    "If you can think of this, then wouldn''t the person who released this video have thought of it as well?"


    rence said.


    Winnie was startled and quickly looked up. She then asked, "Do you mean that the security footage


    had been deleted?"


    rence crossed his legs and said nonchntly, "Of course."


    Winnie frowned and pursed her lips. She did not expect that the Conrad Group would go to this extent.


    rence then said, "There is one other way and I can help you."


    Winnie asked, "What''s that?"


    "Terminate your contract with the Conrad Group," rence said.


    Winnie was stunned and mumbled, "Terminate?"


    rence pushed theptop towards her and said, "Thewyer letter had been drafted. The decision


    lies with you."


    Winnie was stunned and did not understand rence''s intention.


    rence continued, "You should have noticed why you had been framed this time. If there is a first


    time, there would be a second and a third."


    Winnie noticed that rence was being serious and she started to consider carefully what he said.


    In fact, when she was outside the CEO''s office, she already had the impulse to terminate the contract


    based on how Justin''s assistant spoke to her. But sheunched her career with the Conrad Group and


    struggled through the years. The Conrad Group also rewarded her well and she was indeed hesitant to


    part with it.


    rence seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, so he said, "You should remember that I


    was the one who signed the contract with you and I gave you the support, not the Conrad Group."


    Winnie was dumbfounded. She did not think of the situation from that angle.


    It was once too many to have met an unscrupulous boss. Regardless of how Justin was as a person,


    the actions of the current Conrad Group had disgusted her.


    Winnie said firmly, "I''ll terminate the contract."


    She took out her phone and looked for the Twitter password that was sent to her. She then logged in to


    Twitter.


    Twenty minutester, the topic "Winnie and Chassell rekindled me" was readily surpassed by


    "Winnie contract termination with the Conrad Group".


    When this trend appeared, it took the inte and social media by storm.


    Previously someone had deduced that the incident about Winnie and Chassell was created by the


    Conrad Group to deflect the public attention. When Winnie did not rify her issue with Chassell but


    instead decided to terminate her contract with the Conrad Group, that proved that this person had


    deduced correctly.


    Some people now felt that the Conrad Group was hical in doing so. Some others said that


    regardless of what the Conrad Group did, the video was factual. They used Winnie of using the


    contract termination to misdirect the discussion.


    Winnie''s fans now began to speak up for her.


    "Hey, use your brain to think carefully. A rumorpared with contract termination with the Conrad


    Group. Which one is more substantive?"


    "Yeah, Winnie is the Conrad Group''s leading star. If she terminates her contract at this moment, the


    breach of contract penalties would be immense. This is not even a matter about importance. It''s a


    battle of integrity."


    "In other words, Winnie''s contract termination was to signify her unhappiness with what the Conrad


    Group did to her today. What she did would offend numerous people. She even risked being cklisted


    and might even exit the entertainment industry!"


    "Come on guys, you all should be responsible for yourments. You guys use her of being guilty


    just because she did not make a public announcement. Now that she announced, you use her of


    trying to misdirect the public opinion. Nothing can satisfy you!"


    There were other opinions.


    "From what happened today, even if Winnie did not seek to terminate her contract with the Conrad


    Group, she would be close to the end of her career. All these were done to stir up her fans. You people


    still believe these!"


    "If she dared to terminate her contract with the Conrad Group, then why doesn''t she dare to exin her


    rtionship with Chassell? Who would believe that she''s innocent? What a joke!"


    "Only her fans would believe what she said. Winnie had lost all credibility. I will never watch her works


    nor buy anything that she endorses."


    Just when the public debate was at its peak, City N Press released a piece of news on Twitter.


    It was the full clip of Winnie and Chassell. In this video, it was clear that Winnie was forcibly dragged by


    Chassell. Several security guards even went forward to chase Chassell away.


    Throughout the incident, Winnie''s expression was shocked and frightened. It was totally unlike the


    rumormongers who said that they had rekindled their love.


    Many expected this incident to end but numerous users went to City N Press''s official Twitter ount


    to leave nastyments. They used City N Press of siding with Winnie. When the previous incident


    happened, it was them who helped Winnie rify that she did not break apart Chassell''s family. Now


    the media was helping Winnie again.


    Many now used City N Press to have received money from Winnie to help clear her name. At this


    point, City N Press could not tolerate such usations and posted another tweet.


    City N Press: Ever since the founding of City N Press, we had always reported the facts and seeking


    for the truth. If one day truth can be twisted so easily, then what''s the use of reporting the truth? How


    could the victims'' voices be heard?
