She quickly hung up the phone and blocked Henry’s number.
With everything settled, Shana felt completely refreshed.

She wasn’t going to beg that sc’mbag for a divorce anymore. Whether he signed the papers or not, once Kate’s pregnancy started showing, he’d be the one begging her to divorce!
If he wasn’t willing to let her leave now, she’d make sure he regretted it when he finally wanted a divorce.
At the villa.
Listening to the busysignal on the other end, Henry’s face darkened, his hand clenched tightly, with veins. slightly protruding
Behind him, Kate called out timidly, “Henry…”
Henry turned around, gave her a brief glance, and said coldly, “I’ll have the driver take

e you home.”
“You know hangovers can give you a headache, right? I can stay and take care of you, Kate said, stepping a bit closer.
“No, it’s fine. I’m okay,” he said firmly.
Kate’s eyes looked hurt. After thinking for a moment, she tried a different approach. “It’s really late, and I have an early flight tomorrow. If I head back to my apartment now, I won’t have time to rest. Can’t I stay for the night?”
She glanced around at the spacious, luxurious mansion and said, “Well, you have plenty of guest rooms
here
Henry acted like he didn’t hear. Once the driver answered, he gave his instructions.
A few minutes later, the driver pulled the car out of the garage and parked it out front, waiting
Kate bit her lip and gave the stern–faced man a sad look. Even though she wasn’t happy about it, she could. tell Henry was in a bad mood. She told him to rest well and then left quietly,
Shana had barely gotten into bed before it was already morning. Cheryl got up, went through her morning routine, and headed off to work. Even though she tried to be quiet, Shana still woke up.
It was still early, and she didn’t have to follow that sc*mbag’s strict schedule. She shut her eyes, ready to go back to sleep.
Then her phone beeped with a notification. Shana grabbed her phone from under the pillow and checked it, instantly feeling more awake.

With everything being so hectic lately, she had forgotten that the regular payment day was just a few days. away. According to her plan, with her recent job and her savings, she had enough money for this month.
But thanks to that sc“mbag, she didn’t finish the task properly, and her commission got cut in half. Now she was short on cash.
Cutting someone’s incoine was like a major betrayal. Shaona cursed that sebag and realized she couldn’t sleep anymore. She quickly got up, turned on her computer, and sent an email to Alex.
Shana. Mr. Morrison, are there any new tasks? I’m ready to take on anything, no matter what! Please send them to me”
Alex was confused. ‘Is it urgent!
As one of the magazine’s top faces, Shana’s assignments were naturally high–profile and well–paid. She had reached a level where she was selective about tasks, only taking on those that were challenging. groundbreaking, or significant.
If a task didn’t meet these criteria, she wouldn’t take it.
Shana used to be like that.
But now, she had to swallow her pride for some money.
This was the consequence of her love–struck decisions, and she had no one to blame but herself. Not wanting to dwell on it, she got straight to the point. “Yes, it’s urgent! I’m really short on cash, so please help me out, Mr. Morrison!
Alex replied:…
Even though he seemed a bit baffled, he still sent over a new task.
The task wasn’t hard–just a trip to the mountains for filming and an interview. The catch was that it was a long journey and involved staying there for a week in very poor conditions. Despite the decent pay, no one was eager to take it on.
Shana wasn’t picky at all. She took the job right away. Once she completed this task, she’d get her the money she needed for the month.
She packed up quickly, sent a message to Cheryl to let her know, and then called a cab to the airport.
As soon as she walked into the airport, Shana saw Kate surrounded by fans. They were crowding around her, and the paparazzi were busy taking photos. Kate looked like she was in a great mood, posing and drawing attention from everyone.
Bastian Calder the photographer traveling with Shana, couldn’t help but comment on the scene. “She really is the plaño goddess–her hands are so delicate and long. Quite impressive. But…
He leaned in close to Shana and whispered, “As a guy, I think her legs look even better, so straight and slim, with no extra fat. They’re really smooth and pale Just perfect.”
Shana wasn’t interested in Kate, but after hearing this, she looked over out of habit.
Her eyes then landed on something else–not Kate’s legs, but her high heels. They had pointed toes and

thin, ten–centimeter heels
She was confused. Wasn’t the mistress pregnant? Last time, she didn’t even dare to drink coffee and was being so careful, How could she be wearing high heels now? Wasn’t she worried about tripping and getting
Then, Bastian, who had checked in their luggage, spoke up. “Let’s go, we need to get through security
Shana pushed her thoughts aside, nodded, and followed him toward the security checkpoint.
The mountains were barren, but the people were downro–earth and friendly, so the filming arr interviews went well. The only downside was the terrible signal. Most of the time, there was no reception at all
As a result, Shana didn’t receive a call from her uncle until five days later.
Brian sounded both angry and worried. “Shana, where have you been? Why haven’t you been answering your phone!”
“Uncle, I went to the mountains. Is something wrong?”
“Ryan’s in trouble. He’s in the hospital. You need to come back right away!”
Her cousin, Ryan Brown, was Brian’s son and someone she’d grown up with, so they were very close.
Shana’s heart skipped a beat. “What happened to him?
But the signal worsened again, and she couldn’t make out what Brian was saying. The call ended abruptly.
Shana felt a sudden panic, like when she first heard about her parents‘ accident. She had to get back right-
away.
She quickly found Bastian and explained the situation. He understood and told her to go ahead, saying he could handle the rest of the filming and wrap up on his own since they already had enough material for
the interview.
“Thanks. I’ll take you out for a meal when we get back, he said.
She rushed to the airport in a hurry, only to find out that the last flight was already sold out
The small town had only a tiny airport and no high–speed trains, so she’d have to wait until the next day to get back.
She tried calling Brian again, but he didn’t answer, and neither did Gillian, her aunt. It made her anxiety

Shana’s eyes brightened, and she quickly looked over.
In front of her, a tall man just finished his coffee, tossed the cup into the trash, and headed toward the
