My heart suddenly sank. 'Could it be that the person who wanted to buy my virginity back then was really Kent?'
I would not be so foolish as to expose my past scars to the prying eyes of a man with ill intentions.
However, I knew very well that Kent knew that I held the lifeline of Star Media.
At the same time, I finally understood why there were such significant scandals within their company. Not only had they not been exposed, but they also hadn't been deleted.
Perhaps they were just waiting for the right moment. And those reports involved many families and high-ranking officials.
I had no idea that beneath the seemingly peaceful and harmonious families, so many dirty and hidden secrets lay.
"Mr. Rogers, it seems you have misunderstood me," I paused, a hint of amusement in my voice. "What power do I have to threaten Star Media?"
'Am I a fool? There's no way I'd easily admit to having those files in my possession. Even if Kent knew I was secretly behind everything, I would still vehemently deny it!'
A gentle, teasing laugh came through the phone. "Miss Parks, I just wanted to apologize for the false video Star Media released yesterday and the harm it caused you. It's my lack of oversight that allowed my subordinates to act so recklessly. It won't happen again."
I silently laughed to myself. Even if Kent didn't know about the malicious editing at the time after the video went live, was he blind? Everything was clear as day.
He was an accomplice to Helena, aiming to make me bear the blame, to make everyone despise, loathe, and look down on me.
I bet they wished me to lose Mrs. Herrera's position. Only then would Helena have a chance to stand upright beside Alex.
Kent must have formed some kind of cooperative relationship with Helena to spare no effort to help her.
Actually, I didn't blame him. Anyone would choose to stand on Helena's side after seeing how much Alex loved her.
After a moment of silence, I slowly asked Kent, "So, you plan to give me money as compensation?"
"Right."
Although there was no anxiety in his tone, I knew that deep down, he was actually terrified and uneasy.
Seeing that I didn't answer for a long time, he continued, "Send me the card number and I'll transfer the money to you later. You can't just say sorry."
"Okay." I smiled and agreed.
I didn't want to be entangled with Kent any longer.
After I hung up, I sent the card number. Less than twenty minutes later, I received a text from the bank.
I didn't expect Kent to change to 1.5 million dollars.
However, I knew that in his heart, I was not worth 1.5 million dollars. What he wanted to buy was the information I had.
Less than ten minutes later, Kent sent me another message: [I wonder if you are feeling better, Miss Parks?]
Kent knew very well that I was not ruthless. That was my hush money.
I didn't want to offend Kent either, although I didn't know what kind of person he was.
However, the fact that he could take out 1.5 million dollars meant that he was very rich.
He was shrewd. It was not a good thing for me to become enemies with such a person.
I replied: [I appreciate your kind gesture, Mr. Rogers.]
In less than a second, Kent sent another message: [As long as you are happy. I hope we can bury the hatchet and become friends.]
Looking at the message, I couldn't help but sneer in my heart. Kent was indeed smart, but I wasn't stupid.
Neither of us mentioned the information in the hidden folder, but he kept testing me to see if I would sell him out after taking the money.
I replied: [That depends on whether you are sincere enough.]
Less than twenty seconds later, I received another message: [It will definitely satisfy you, Miss Parks.]
I sent: [I'll wait…]
Five seconds later, when I didn't receive a text from Kent, I slowly got up from my chair.
The sun was shining brightly outside the window, but I felt like a piece of my heart was missing.
"Sophina, let's go for a walk." I took a deep breath and looked up at Sophina.
Sophina was stunned for a moment and looked at me in a daze. "Laurel, Mr. Herrera doesn't want you to go out."
I raised my hand and patted her shoulder gently. "Since when do you listen to him so much? I just want to go for a walk downstairs."
Upon hearing this, Sophina let out a long breath. I understood that she was worried that something might happen to me, and that she wouldn't be able to explain it to Alex.
After all, not long ago, I had been kidnapped, and the culprits had yet to be caught.
It was as if they had vanished into thin air.
'Assassin organization.' Thinking of this, I couldn't help but frown slightly. 'Did they want to kill Alex or the two of us?'
Sophina led me downstairs.
There was a supermarket, a gym, and a health club in Honeydew Club only open to the residents in the community.
After moving here for a period of time, I had at most walked around the park downstairs. I had never been to any of those places.
Dorothy said that the vegetables at the supermarket downstairs were very fresh, and they even labeled the time they were delivered.
Moreover, there were quite a few people lining up in the morning to buy breakfast.
Sophina smiled and pulled my arm. "Laurel, let's go buy some snacks."
"Can pregnant women eat junk food?" I asked.
"I eat junk food. You eat something nutritious." A sly smile appeared on Sophina's fair little face. "Take it to our room to eat."
Sophina seemed to be very afraid of Alex. Actually, I was also quite afraid of him too, especially when he smiled, he always gave off an inexplicable sense of oppression.
When he wasn't smiling, he was very vicious and even more terrifying.
When he was asleep, he looked like she was in a broken beauty.
As we walked out of the supermarket with a large bag of snacks and fruit, I immediately saw Alex getting out of the silver-black Maybach, gently assisting Helena as she stepped out.
I frowned and looked at the two of them in confusion.
They're not going to the building we were in but another building.
Sophina's face was filled with anger. She almost wanted to smash Helena with the snacks.
I picked up my phone with interest and took a photo of the two of them. I sent the photo to Alex.
Less than a minute later, Alex suddenly stopped and turned around.
Our eyes met, but there was no panic in his eyes.
Instead, Helena cowered behind Alex, her face full of fear.
I would not be so foolish as to expose my past scars to the prying eyes of a man with ill intentions.
However, I knew very well that Kent knew that I held the lifeline of Star Media.
