?Chapter 1069:


    “Miss Gordon, was… was there a problem with your eyes?” It was the studio manager calling.


    Ellie tensed and straightened up. “Who told you that?”


    “I’m not sure who leaked it. But the news about your blindness is all over the inte now. Studios that had long-term contracts with you are calling for breach of contractpensation, and reporters are swarming the studio to ask about you.”


    The studio manager said anxiously, “Miss Gordon, do you want to clear this up? If this continues, your career as a stylist will be ruined!”


    Ellie took a deep breath and let it out slowly.


    “Cancel all contracts and pay the breach of contract penalties.” She couldn’t deny the news, as her blindness was real.


    “El, what’s troubling you?” Baylee inquired, noticing the change in Ellie’s demeanor.


    “The studios I used to work with found out about my eye condition and are demanding breach of contractpensation,” Ellie replied calmly. “It’s a minor issue. My studio will handle it.”


    To her, any problem that could be solved with money wasn’t a real problem.


    Baylee’s expression hardened. She checked her phone and saw that all major media tforms were buzzing about the issue, with the story still in the stages of spection and confirmation. Some acquaintances, aware of her close rtionship with Ellie, had tried to seek the truth from her.


    How had this mattere to light so suddenly? Since Ellie’s discharge from the hospital, she had only stepped out once—just yesterday.


    “I’ll find out who let this slip!” Baylee fumed.


    The exposure itself was minor, but it could affect Ellie’s spirits.


    “Okay,” Ellie replied, her voice steady.


    Some might have thought her an easy target now that she had lost her sight.


    Kaiden continued working in his apartment. After finishing the paperwork, he couldn’t sleep and decided to try making chicken soup. The soup bubbled in the y pot, releasing a mouth-watering aroma, but after tasting it, Kaiden felt something was missing. The vor wasn’t quite right. Ellie would likely find it unappealing.

    Just then, Bruce called.


    “Mr. Thorpe, Mrs. Thorpe’s blindness has been exposed.”


    Kaiden set down thedle, his expression darkening.


    “Block the news immediately,” he instructed.


    “It’s toote. Many are already fixated on this. Mrs. Thorpe’s studio has begun handling the breach of contractpensation. It’s essentially confirmed,” Bruce said.


    Before he could finish, Kaiden had opened Twitter, where the top trending topic was “Ellie’s Studio Breaches Contract, Confirmed Blindness.” Thements were a mixed bag.


    “A stylist went blind. Her career is over. What a pity for Ellie.”


    “It’s already tragic for an ordinary person to go blind, let alone a stylist. Her life is ruined!”


    “I wondered why Ellie hadn’t worked for two or three months. Turns out she’s blind. If she’s blind, she should have been honest. Isn’t this unfair to my idol? My idol’s studio invited her to do styling, but now she is blind. I’d say she got served!”


    “Ellie deserves it. She turned down my idol’s styling job, and my idol had to turn to Akira. Akira is fantastic.”
