Chapter 24 Who find the reporter?

When Brooke got the call from Karina, Cyril went straight to the hospital without hesitation. 1

When he arrived, he found the hospital swarming with people, especially around Karina’s room. There were constant streams of patients and medical staff rubbernecking.

Seeing this, Cyril’s eyebrows furrowed tightly. He hadn’t paid good money for these people to show up and gawk.

“What are you all doing here? Don’t you have work to do?” he said sternly.

The crowd that had been eagerly spectating suddenly heard Cyril’s voice and jumped in fright. They quickly made up excuses to leave, not wanting to stick around now that Cyril was unhappy with them.

Once the area was cleared out, Cyril entered Karina’s room, only to be shocked again.

The room was extremely messy, with everything not nailed down strewn across the floor. Things had clearly been swept off surfaces and cabinets.

Cyril looked around, not knowing what had happened. He didn’t see any nurses around, which bothered him. He was paying good money – he expected better service.

As he walked further into the room, he suddenly heard sobbing coming from a corner. He went over to see Karina sitting on the floor, knees pulled tight to her chest, head buried as

she cried.

“What happened?” Cyril asked gently, crouching down to be at her eye level.

“Some reporters showed up this morning. I don’t know how they found out I was here, but they just barged in! Wouldn’t listen when people tried to stop them. They started bombarding me with questions about those online rumors, asking if they were true, if I was going to quit showbiz, just awful prying questions. They wanted me to have a breakdown! Can you believe it?” Karina looked at Cyril pitifully.

“I didn’t know what to do so I started throwing things at them. That finally scared them off.

In truth, the mess in the room wasn’t entirely from scaring off reporters. After they had left, Karina had lashed out in anger and frustration. She had caused quite the disruptive scene, yelling and sweeping things off of surfaces. She had frightened away the nurses.

Hearing all this, Cyril’s expression darkened. How did those reporters even get in?

“What exactly did you say to them?” he asked.

Karina shook her head emphatically. Right now he was her only hope. She wouldn’t dare do anything without his guidance.

“I didn’t tell them anything today. Don’t worry. But I’m so scared. I don’t know who I pissed off for them to come after me like this. I’m already in the hospital! Why can’t they leave those online rumors alone? Even if I deny everything, some people won’t believe me. What do I do?” Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Karina’s fear was genuine. She was terrified that if the truth of her misdeeds came out, she’d

be ruined.

Any chance with Cyril would vanish. She might even become a disgraced laughingstock, undoing all her years of maneuvering.

“I’ll take care of this, don’t worry. Do you have any enemies in the industry?” Cyril asked.

Whoever was behind this was likely a rival of hers. But Cyril didn’t know enough about her competitors.

Karina thought for a moment before shaking her head. “It can’t be them. They wouldn’t dare cross me like this, I’d crush them in retaliation. It must be Sylvia! She’s the only one who hates me enough!”

Karina strategically shifted blame onto Sylvia. She needed a scapegoat, and Sylvia was perfect, given Cyril’s history with her. Of course she’d be furious over losing him to Karina!

And even if Sylvia was innocent, Karina had to pin it on her. Sylvia still held a special place. with Cyril. For Karina to secure her future with him, Sylvia needed to be taken down a notch.

Seeing Cyril’s expression shift at the mention of Sylvia’s name, Karina hid her satisfaction. Sylvia was still no match for her. Just a few choice words could turn Cyril against her.

“I’ll get to the bottom of this. But don’t go making baseless accusations. I warned you. For now, just rest. I’ll handle the investigation,” Cyril said firmly.

Karina was a little disappointed she hadn’t achieved her goal, but at least Cyril was willing to deal with the mess for her. As for Sylvia…that could come later.

“I’m sorry,

I shouldn’t have speculated. I just don’t know who else could hate me enough besides Sylvia. You should still investigate though, for both our sakes,” Karina said weakly, seeing Cyril’s expression

soften slightly.

But he still couldn’t believe Sylvia was behind this. Yet she did seem to have the strongest motive.

Cyril only stayed about half an hour, getting the full story before leaving.

Once he was gone, Karina’s expression shifted. She took out her phone, hesitating whether to make a certain call.

She knew that call could ruin her reputation, but it could also drag Sylvia down too. It was a double- edged sword that could wound them both. She had to consider carefully.
