Chapter 270


    “We spoke on the phone yesterday, Ms. Linnell. Don''t you remember me?” Kornel reminded her.


    That was when Autumn realized why Kornel''s voice sounded so familiar.


    Ah, I remember now! He''s the one who called me anonymously and told me to record Harold and


    Marilyn in the act!


    “Oh, so it was you who called me. What do you two want with me?” Autumn asked angrily.


    There are three people that I hate the most right now. I hate Harold for taking my virginity, Jose for


    setting it up, and this anonymous caller! I wouldn''t have lost my virginity to Harold if it weren''t for them!


    Since there wasn''t anyone around, Kornel got straight to the point and asked, “Where''s the video you


    tookst night?”


    “I deleted it!” Autumn replied honestly without a second thought.


    “You deleted it? I don''t believe you! Show me your phone!”


    Kornel was so mad that he nearly had a stroke on the spot.


    Since Autumn had nothing to hide, she handed him her phone without any hesitation.


    Kornel quickly scrolled through her phone gallery and list of folders.


    The look on his face turned extremely gloomy when he found no footage of Marilyn and her date.


    “Why did you delete that?”


    He was about to hit Autumn when Lacie called out to him, “Kornel! Are you done? What''s taking you so


    long?”


    She had gotten impatient after waiting in the car for so long.


    Kornel had no choice but to return the phone to Autumn and report the situation to Lacie.


    Noticing her chance to escape, Autumn quickly hailed a passing taxi and left for work.


    “She deleted the pictures and videos, Lacie. What should we do now?” Kornel asked with an


    exasperated look on his face.


    “That content could easily spark a huge scandal. It''s a highly valuable asset for a journalist. Do you


    really think she''d delete that stuff?” Lacie replied coldly with a sneer.


    There''s no way she would be willing to delete that!


    “But there''s nothing we can do if she won''t hand it to us!” Kornel eximed in frustration.

    “Don''t worry; I''m sure she just wants money. Tell her we''ll pay a hundred thousand if she hands it over


    in the next two weeks. I''m sure she''ll be more than willing to cooperate,” Lacie said confidently.


    Kornel''s eyes lit up when he heard that.


    “You sure are a smart one, Lacie!” he said tteringly before getting into the car.


    A week soon came to pass.


    Throughout the entire week, Autumn was unable to focus and had little to no appetite.


    Assuming it was due to her bad mood, she didn''t think much about it and carried on with her daily life.


    During the weekend, Autumn checked the date and realized her period should havee two days


    ago.


    While it was perfectly normal for women to have their periods slightly earlier orter than usual, Autumn


    had a bad feeling about it because of what had happened to her.


    “Oh, gosh... I only had sex that one time! I sure hope I''m not pregnant!” Autumn mumbled to herself as


    she looked up her situation on the inte.
