    Once upon a time, Kael swore he would do anything for Diana and fulfill any request without conditions.


    But now, he was filled with resentment, even turning her in.


    Was this the so-called love he professed?


    In this world, it seemed everyone was untrustworthy except for herself.


    Diana sat huddled in the corner, her arms wrapped around her knees, waiting for the day’s judgment to


    seal her fate.


    As Balfour stepped out of his car, the otherpany’s CEO came up with a sycophantic grin.


    “Mr. Howard, a pleasure to meet you! I’ve heard so much about you, and yet it’s only today we finally


    meet!”


    Balfour responded with barely a flicker of emotion, nodding slightly.


    “Corben, I never imagined our first encounter would be under such circumstances. We should have


    met at a better ce, not…” Balfour trailed off, nodding towards the ground, and Corben caught on


    quickly.


    Who in their right mind would want to cross Balfour of the Howard Group?


    Especially over someone like Diana, an actress who had not brought in much profit and seemed to be


    a ma for trouble.


    No matter how ambitious or eager to climb the ranks she was, thepany would never keep her.


    This woman had crossed Mrs. Howard!


    And with Diana’s reckless ambition, who could guess what kind of madcap stunts she might pull next?


    Nowadays, thepany had a strict policy for hiring actors: absolutely no illegal activities. Otherwise,


    thepany could end up stabbed in the back, left to clean up messes repeatedly.


    Why would they keep a troublemaker when they had not even recouped the money sp on training her,


    let alone paypensation to her victims?


    “So, Corben, you have no objections to how the police intend to handle this?” Balfour raised an


    eyebrow, surprised at the ease of the resolution.


    Corben put on a show of integrity. “Rest assured, Mr. Howard, we certainly do not condone protecting


    problematic actresses. We at Starlight Entertainment might not be top-tier, but we never engage in


    criminal activities.”


    Satisfied, Balfour smiled. “I should hope not.”


    Corben exhaled in relief and, with a forced smile, prepared to spew some more ttery. But Balfour had


    already strode past him with long, confident steps.


    Unperturbed by hisck of finesse, Corben scratched at his thinning hair and followed Balfour into the


    police station.


    Diana had been a thorn in the side of the police during her statement, insisting she would only speak in


    the presence of herwyer. Without one, she remained silent, hindering the officers’ investigation.


    Corben’s appearance was meant to deliver the harsh truth-nowyer woulde to advocate for her. It


    was time to abandon any hope of that.


    Upon seeing Corben, Diana lunged forward. “Boss, you’re here to bail me out, right? I’ve been framed!


    Where’s thewyer? I asked them to call you to bring thepanywyer. What good are you here


    without one?”


    Corben’s face darkened as Diana approached. He had never expected this woman to bring such


    trouble to thepany. At his age, he was still forced to grin and bear it in front of Balfour-all thanks to


    her.


    “Let go of that fantasy,” he said coldly. “The moment you messed up, I had thewyers terminate your


    contract. An actress like you is too much for ourpany to handle. It’s time for you to look


    elsewhere.”
