Stella, alarmed, quickly reached for her phone.
Matthew, however, swiftly took her phone and embraced her. “There’s no need for you to see that. I’ll ensure those videos are taken down promptly.”
“I need to see it for myself.” Stella gave him a stubborn Look, clearly not ready to back down.
Eventually, Matthew had to give in.
The PR team of Prosperity Group did their best to stop the video from spreading, but some clips remained online.
Stella found and watched those videos, and the lack of sound made them even more unsettling.
The comment section was filled with harsh words.
Stella shut her eyes and stood frozen.
Matthew wrapped his arms around her, offering comfort with his words.
“You’re the victim here. This isn’t your fault. Try to ignore it.
I’ll take care of it as quickly as I can.”
He looked down, observing the expression on Stella’s face with a heavy heart, wondering why she had to endure such exposure online.

Luther’s voice, soft yet urgent, came through. “Stella, you need to get to the set as quickly as you can.”
Stella kept quiet. Luther seemed real mad from the way he hung up.
Matthew overheard. “Hold up. I’ll sort Luther out. Take a few days off, chill at home, then we’ll chat when this blows over.”
Stella shook her head. “I must go to the set.”
Matthew frowned but before he could speak, Stella beat him to it.
“I’m innocent. If I back off, they’ll think I did it,” Stella said firmly. “Got to face it head-on. Whether they believe me or not, I’m setting things straight.”
Matthew didn’t want her dealing with this alone but knew she wouldn’t budge.
He gripped her hand. “I’ll drop you off at work after breakfast.”
“Alright,” Stella agreed.
