Chapter 220:

Corrine was just a simple country girl, wasn’t she?

How had she quickly risen to become a prominent figure within both the CBP and the cultural relic department?

Leah was further taken aback when Waldo took a stand against the media during the broadcast.

“I’m here to clear the false accusations against Miss Corrine Holland,” Waldo said firmly, adjusting his glasses as he faced the press.

“We will take legal action against those who spread lies about her, and everyone involved in this defamation during the live session will be held accountable. We will not back down in our pursuit of justice.”

He carried an aura of grace and honesty, speaking calmly with no hint of aggression. Yet, each word was as sharp as a dagger.

The media reporters went pale at his words.

Waldo’s formidable reputation was well-known among them.

With his flawless record and sharp legal skills, he was someone everyone feared.

Challenging him had always resulted in crushing defeats for his rivals, a testament to his skill.

His involvement was the strongest move to silence the relentless journalists.

This time, Corrine had completely flipped the script.

Even after the broadcast ended, the buzz persisted, with heated debates lighting up online forums.

Unexpectedly, the unforeseen continued to unfold.

As the online community engaged in heated discussions, the website suddenly became inaccessible. Keywords associated with “Corrine” were unexpectedly banned. Everyone online quickly realized that Corrine Holland was not someone to be underestimated.

Leah, seated in her vehicle, watched as the broadcast concluded, her gaze heavy with deep resentment and frustration. Why did success always seem just out of reach? Her well-laid plans had been on the brink of fruition, yet they unraveled at the most crucial moment.

Anger simmered within her as she struck the steering wheel repeatedly in a fit of rage.

At that moment, her phone began to ring.

Leah picked up, and the caller on the line made a straightforward demand for payment.

“Miss Burgess, ensure the funds are transferred on time, or we will be compelled to expose the truth.”

These maneuvers against Corrine had been orchestrated by Leah herself.

Leah had never expected Corrine to take legal action against the journalists. In their line of work, such declarations were typically mere threats, but Corrine meant business.

The caller, growing impatient with Leah’s silence, issued another warning.

“Miss Burgess, remember, we’re in this predicament together. If we go down, you’re coming with us. Considering your plans for a return to the entertainment industry, you know what needs to be done.”

With that, the conversation ended as the caller disconnected.

Overwhelmed with fury, Leah threw her phone in a moment of despair.

This demand for compensation had nearly drained her financially.
