Chapter 14: Some Pretty Nasty Insults.
Doctor Ella, hello. I’m Seraphina’s agent, Cindy Smith. You can call me Cindy.” Cindy, with a sharp bob haircut, wore a light blue pantsuit and rimless glasses–the image of a professional agent.
She approached Sonya, extending a hand.
Sonya, hands in her pockets, ignored her.
Cindy chuckled “Doctor Ella, you’re under thirty, right? Young people act impulsively without. thinking
Sonya raised an eyebrow. “What should I have thought?”
For instance, before posting that photo, you could have consulted us. We might have bought it for
million or two. By the way, how much do you make a month?”
“So a photo can sell for that much?” Sonya clicked her tongue,
feigning regret. “It’s not too late. You can say the photo was staged, that you went up to Mr. Jennings and deliberately held his hand on purpose.”
“And I deliberately made him smile at me? That really made. sense, right?” Cindy was still smiling.“Doctor Ella, you don’t understand. Netizens are just following the trend. They don’t care about the truth. Just control the narrative, and anything can become real.”
Sonya nodded, feigning enlightenment. Too bad.”
“Too bad what?”
“I don’t need the money.”
Cindy’s smile vanished. She glanced at Seraphina, implying that Sonya was difficult to deal with.
“I heard your parents were deceased, and you had no other relatives here, right?” Cindy’s tone turned cold.
Sonya smirked, not answering.
“No parents, no family. You have to carry everything alone. How pitiful!” Cindy’s eyes narrowed. “You should be more practical, instead of messing with someone you can’t afford to mess with.”
Sonya shrugged.“So, what happens if I mess with you guys?”
“This hospital belongs to the Jennings family. Seraphina’s marrying Mr. Jennings. Once she’s Mrs. Jennings, firing you will be easy.”
“I can work at another hospital.”
“Jennings Medical is the industry leader. If they want, no hospital will hire yo
Sonya pursed her lips.
They were threatening her?
She knew the Jennings family could do it.
“Bribery failed, so now it’s intimidation.” Sonya sneered, tilting her chin. “What if I don’t work as a doctor anymore?”

Cindy narrowed her eyes.“Doctor Ella, why bother? Just take the blame and endure some online abuse. You’re not a celebrity. It’s nothing.”
“The label homewrecker is too dirty. I can’t hear it. And I didn’t do anything dirty!”
“You!”

Julian entered, carrying a thermal food container. He gave it to Seraphina’s assistant. Seraphina burst into tears, running to Sonya, begging. “Sonya, I love my career. Please don’t ruin.
- me.
Sonya scoffed. Cindy had threatened her; now, with Julian here, Seraphina acted as if she were
the victim.
“I know you hate me, because Julian is marrying me, not you. I’m sorry. Just clarify the photo online. Don’t let those netizens attack me. I can’t take it anymore. I’m afraid I’ll try to kill myself again.”
Sonya’s temper flared.“So just because you’re afraid of online abuse and ruining your career, that I should be the one to suffer? Why? You did wrong; you bear the consequences. I didn’t do anything wrong. Why should I take the blame?”
“Should I kneel?”
Seraphina went to kneel, but Julian stopped her.
“Julian, help me! She hates me for taking you away. Fine. After we marry, she can still be with you. I’ll turn a blind eye.”
Sonya was furious. She tried to slap Seraphina but was stopped by Julian. She slapped Julian instead.
“How dare you insult me like this!”
Julian’s face hardened. He glared at Sonya, but seeing the tears in her eyes, he hesitated. “Oh no, crap!” Cindy checked her phone, her face darkening.”Seraphina, photos of you and Liam Stone are online. Trending now!”
Seraphina collapsed onto the bed.“Who… who’s doing this to me?!”
Cindy shook her head. “We don’t know yet.”
Then she received a message: I give you minutes to clarify everything about Doctor Ella. Otherwise, more will be revealed.
Cindy showed the message to Julian and Seraphina. They looked at Sonya. Sonya sneered. “Do you think I did this?”
Julian sat on the sofa, taking a deep breath. Then, he logged onto his account, posting a message. “Sonya and I dated for eight years, starting in college. The online rumors about her are false. Regarding Seraphina, I started dating her before breaking up with Sonya. Neither of them knew. that. Sonya and I have broken up, and Seraphina’s baby is mine. I apologize to both of them.

She didn’t care about who would take the fall; she cared about her own reputation.

Back in the office, Ashley approached Sonya.
“Sonya, you really don’t have anyone behind you?”
Sonya was puzzled. “Why do you ask that?”

“Those intimate photos of Seraphina and Liam weren’t leaked by someone in the showbiz industry. No celebrity would run the risk of being exposed to do such a thing. But the who leaked this is defying the rules, attacking two major entertainment companies at once.” Sonya remembered the message to Cindy. Someone was clearly protecting her.
But who was he?
Could it be…?
Sonya opened her phone, texting Henry: You did this?
