"And how were you going to ''get through tonight''?" Yvonne shot back. "By ending up in Mr. Ward''s bed? Marina, is trading your body for a job really worth it? And what about your fiancé? Is this fair to him?"


    Marina''s body trembled, her eyes as red as a rabbit''s.


    Yvonne felt a pang of pity. Marina wasn''t the enemy; she was just another one of George''s victims.


    "I''ll have the driver take you home," Yvonne said with a sigh.


    Marina nodded, her eyes still red, and left with the driver.


    Once she was gone, Yvonne removed the hidden camera from her clothes and sent the footage to Sandra.


    Sandrapiled the video with thepany''s falsified ounting records and anonymously sent the evidence to the relevant authorities. It was more than enough


    to prove that Nexus Media and George were engaged in illegal activities.


    But a month passed, and nothing happened. The report had vanished without a trace.


    Both Yvonne and Sandra felt their hopes sink.


    "Maybe the files were sent to the wrong department or got lost. Should I submit them again?" Sandra asked, unwilling to give up.


    "It''s no use. Someone higher up is protecting George. We underestimated him,” Yvonne said, her eyes cold.


    Her investigation had started with Colin Gonzalez and led her to George, but now she realized there was an even biggerwork protecting them.


    "We have to put this on hold for now. We can''t be reckless, or we''ll expose ourselves," Yvonne added.


    They were still in the shadows, which gave them an advantage. If they were discovered, they stood no chance against George and his powerful allies.


    "I''m not in a rush. I''ve been waiting for years,” Sandra said with a sigh, though her clenched fists betrayed her frustration.


    After a moment of silence, Sandra spoke again. "The audition for Ms. Jane''s film is next week. I''ve sent you the script. You need to prepare."


    "Okay," Yvonne nodded.


    For the next week, Yvonne threw herself into studying the script and working with an acting coach.


    The audition was held at a five-star hotel and went smoothly.


    While Yvonne''s acting wasn''t perfect, Ms. Jane was a renowned director, confident in her ability to shape an actors performance. What mattered most to her was the actor''spatibility with the role.


    Yvonnended the part of the female lead. She was in a good mood as she and Sandra left the hotel As they crossed the lobby, they saw arge crowd gathered, with shouting andmotion.


    "What''s going on?" Sandra asked, noticing reporters with microphones and cameras. "Must be someone in the industry."


    "A woman got caught cheating, and her two boyfriends are fighting over it," a reporter told her before rushing into the crowd. "The main yers are the heir to the Rogers family, that tech prodigy from the Gonzalez Group, and the famous actress Queena."


    Yvonne and Sandra exchanged a look, their curiosity piqued, and pushed their way into the crowd.


    In the center of the chaos, Oscar and Matthew were trading blows. Both were well- bred heirs who knew how to handle themselves, and both were already bruised and bleeding.


    "Stop it! Stop fighting!” Queena shrieked, her face pale with panic as she tried to pull them apart.


    But she was clearly biased. As Oscar threw a punch, Queena was clinging to Matthew''s arm, crying for him to stop.


    Oscar''s fist connected, sending Matthew to the ground. He followed up with a few vicious kicks.


    Matthew curled up on the floor, blood trickling from his nose and mouth, his eyes burning with fury as he stared at Queena.


    But Queena was already at Oscar''s side, gently taking his hand. “Oscar, are you hurt? Does it hurt a lot?” she asked, her eyes filled with concern.
