While they discussed Zero, Tatiana couldn’t help but feel helpless. She had thought Cassius would offer her help last night, but he never said anything.
“I’ll go myself,” Tatiana said, and the others looked up at her.
“I’ll go with you. I’ve got some stripper moves,” Stacy smirked.
“I’ll keep watch,” Jolene said, and they all looked at Parker, who sighed.
“I hope we’re not going to die, babes. I’ve got a date with my boyfriend tomorrow, and I don’t want to come back with bruises,” he said.
“It’s not a must, Parker, you can-”
“I’m going too. I never said I wouldn’t go!” Parker exclaimed hastily. “Besides, it’ll be fun,” he shrugged.
“Let’s go get that bastard,” Tatiana said, and they all nodded.

Paisley’s eyes were closed as the makeup artist worked on her face. She was clad in a sexy gown for the movie project she was working on.
Getting up, she went to meet the others.
“You look stunning, ma’am,” the director greeted as Paisley flung her hair to one side.
“Let’s get started,” she said coldly and walked away.
Her ego!
Everyone on the set knew her for her rude self. They just didn’t want to cross her because of her fame and millions of fans.
Apart from that, she was the wife of Nathan Redmond, a ruthless CEO in the entertainment industry.
“Get me water,” she ordered a young female actress on the set. The actress was at first confused, wondering if Paisley didn’t see her assistant.
“I’m talking to you, girl. Go get me some water!” Paisley snapped, and the girl reluctantly went to get it.
“Massage my shoulders for a minute before we start,” Paisley ordered her assistant.
“Uhm, my stomach feels terrible. I need to use the toilet first, please.”
“The fuck-” Paisley started to retort but calmed her nerves. “Thirty seconds. That’s what I’m giving you.”
Her assistant nodded and left the place while Paisley began to press her phone, checking out the comments and engagements on her page. A smile crept onto her face as she went to Tatiana’s page.
It was dry since she hadn’t posted anything for years. She even lost thousands of followers after the rumor she had released.
But it was strange when the woman she sent came back with her face all red. What was Cassius King doing there?
The powerful King of the entertainment industry, Paisley had never once met physically.
She was like a secret admirer, wishing to meet her idol someday. How fortunate, Indigo wasn’t going to marry him again. Maybe she had a chance to-
Her thought was cut short when she felt a huge burn on her shoulder, dripping straight down her body.
Paisley cried out agonizingly, not listening to the old woman behind the deed, apologizing. Paisley didn’t know when she started removing her clothes, even her bra. It burned, it burned so much!
In anger, she pushed the old woman to the floor, and gasps filled the air.
Her cries intensified from the pain, but her eyes widened when realization hit her hard.
Gazes, there were so many gazes on her.
Amidst the people staring, one of them, who had taken a video of her, secretly left the place.
Paisley began to cry hard on her spot. The humiliation!
Her assistant saw this and immediately grabbed a large coat and covered Paisley with it, leading her out immediately.
“Ah, it hurts. It fucking hurts!” Paisley cried. She used every nerve in her body not to remove the coat around her too.
“I’ll take you to the hospital,” her assistant shook with panic and immediately headed to the hospital.
While the assistant watched the doctor tending to Paisley, her phone rang, flashing ‘Boss’ on her screen. Nathan Redmond.
“Are you with Paisley?” Nathan asked over the phone.
“Yes, she had an accident and was seriously hurt and-”
“I know. After she’s done with the doctor, tell her to come sign the divorce papers.”
“What?!” she exclaimed in shock, but the call ended immediately.
Paisley, who heard her, asked, “What’s wrong?”
After her assistant explained, Paisley’s eyes widened like the moon. Nathan was asking for a divorce?! What in heaven was he thinking? And how did he even know she had an accident?!
The internet!!
She grabbed her phone, ignoring the sting on her body. Just as she had thought, she was trending.
What the fuck?! It hadn’t been twenty minutes since the incident, and she was trending like hell!!
Beneath the video of her stripping herself and pushing an old woman, a recording played below the video.
It was a recording of her ordering a woman to damage Tatiana’s skin with hot water.
Her voice was clear and firm.
“Don’t even dare make a mistake. If you do, I’ll destroy you. You know who my husband is, Nathan Redmond. He’ll do whatever I ask.”
The woman had actually recorded it in case Paisley threatened her again. She could just use it against her. But instead, those records fell into Mr. King’s hands!
Cassius had actually gone to meet the woman again, with Tatiana’s knowledge. The “old woman” who had spilled the water on Paisley was a young woman disguised as an old woman. People wouldn’t be able to find her even if they tried.
Paisley felt the world crashing down on her. It’s over!
It’s all over!
The netizens began dragging her online. None felt pity, as they thought she deserved it. Not just that, Nathan asked for a divorce? She was definitely screwed.
She got an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
Not being able to take the shock, her eyes rolled back into their sockets, her body went limp, and she crumpled to the floor.

In the car, Tatiana and Jolene were checking the hot news. Jolene had just finished watching the video and couldn’t contain the shock.
“This is definitely big boss’s work,” Jolene mumbled, her face contorting in fear. Mr. King is sure scary.
Tatiana’s phone beeped, and a message from Cassius popped up.
“You owe me another. Little Rebel.”
