Let Me Stay The Night

With the right offer, there was bound to be someone who would step forward to do the job.

Emilia found a paparazzo who specialized in exposing scandals of celebrities online. Moreover, this person had an influential background! Most celebrities didn’t dare to mess with him even if they were targeted. Instead, they preferred to pay him off to settle the disputes.

Emilia saw this as an opportunity and eagerly arranged to meet him in person. The meeting was scheduled for tomorrow.

“It is indeed wise to approach me, Ms. Steele. As for Victoria, she’s quite well–known in the entertainment industry overseas. After I gather her scandalous materials tonight, I will show them to you when we meet tomorrow. The payment shall be made then. You will be satisfied!” the paparazzo declared confidently.

Emilia thought he was being overconfident, so she intentionally poured cold water on him. “I will decide whether the information in your hands is valuabel or not only after I personally verify it. You have until tomorrow, she said skeptically.

Without waiting for the man to respond, Emilia hung up resolutely.

She purposely portrayed herself as difficult to deal with to deter him from plotting against her.

“Christina…” Victoria’s voice was filled with grief and sorrow. “Christina, you have to help me this time…”

Christina paused for a few seconds. When her mind processed the situation, she comforted, “Don’t cry, Victoria. Take your time and tell me what happened.”

After a few hiccups and sobs, Victoria continued, “My relationship with Sebastian has been exposed. After my family found out, they strongly opposed it. They are pressuring me to break up with Sebastian. If I don’t, they will cause trouble for him.”
