SunflowerSmiles: "Wait, I just found an old article. Yu Holea helped a small village overco a famine by organizing relief funds and donating a huge portion herself! Is there anything she doesn’t do?"
HappyKoala: "I think the people spreading rumors underestimated her. She’s not just an actress; she’s a living legend!"
PeachBlossom: "Her resu is basically ’savior, exorcist, teacher, businesswoman, actress.’ What’s next? A Nobel Prize?"
.........
At this point, Qiao Jun decided to step in. He scheduled a press conference to put an end to the rumors once and for all. Standing tall and composed, he addressed the reporters with his characteristic confidence:
"Good afternoon. I’m here today to clear the na of my girlfriend, Yu Holea, who has been the victim of a malicious campaign to tarnish her reputation.
Firstly, let confirm that all the photos circulating online are taken out of context.
The individuals in these images have already clarified their professional or friendly relationships with her.
The claims made against her are baseless, and we have proof that many of these accusations were fabricated by hired entities.
Secondly, Yu Holea is not just an actress. She has contributed imnsely to society in ways that most people don’t know about.
She has saved lives, ntored others, and upheld values of integrity and kindness in everything she does.
Finally, we are pursuing legal action against all parties involved in this defamation campaign. Let this be a warning to anyone attempting to slander her na."
The audience erupted in applause, and social dia lit up with support. Hashtags like #JusticeForYuHolea and #UnstoppableYuHolea trended worldwide.
Mr. Yu sat in his office, scrolling through the viral hashtags. Post after post defended Yu Holea, detailing her achievents and the people who stood by her. His hand trembled slightly as he realized the depth of her connections and influence.
"How... how did I miss this?" he muttered to himself, leaning back in his chair.
Yu i barged into the room, her face pale and her hair slightly disheveled. She looked like she hadn’t slept in days.
"Father!" she exclaid. "Did you see the press conference? Qiao Jun just destroyed everything!"
Mr. Yu sighed, rubbing his temples. "Yes, I saw it. This isn’t good, i. We underestimated her."
Yu i paced the room, her expression switching between anger and confusion.
"I knew she was good at exorcisms, but... a businesswoman? How is she involved with the Jiang family?
And those photos—they aren’t even fake! She’s everywhere, helping everyone! It’s like she’s been hiding this perfect life from us all along!"
Her voice broke slightly as she added, "Why is she so... perfect? It’s not fair!"
Mr. Yu’s eyes softened as he watched his daughter unravel. He placed a firm hand on her shoulder.
"i, listen to . You’re overthinking. Don’t let jealousy cloud your judgnt."
Yu i shook her head, her lips pressed into a thin line. "I’m not jealous!" But her trembling hands said otherwise.
She took a deep breath as if steadying herself.
"i, don’t let this consu you. Go rest for now. Let think of a way to handle her." Mr. Yu muttered.
Yu i hesitated but eventually nodded. "Fine. But don’t expect to stay quiet for long, Father."
She left the room, slamming the door behind her.
Once alone, Mr. Yu leaned back in his chair again, deep in thought. He tapped his fingers on the desk before picking up his phone. His heart was heavy, and for the first ti, regret gnawed at him.
He typed a ssage to Yu Holea:
"Holea, I need to apologize for everything. I’ve been wrong about you. Can we et? There’s sothing important I need to tell you—sothing you don’t know about your past."
After pressing send, he stared at the screen, hoping for a reply.
anwhile, Yu Holea was in a sleek conference room in Bright Star Entertainnt. She was there to sign a contract with the company.
Her phone buzzed, and she glanced down at the ssage. When she saw it was from Mr. Yu, her eyes narrowed.
"Excuse for a mont," she said to the group, stepping out into the hallway.
As she read the ssage, a scoff escaped her lips. "Apologize? Now he wants to apologize?"
Her fingers flew across the screen as she blocked the number without a second thought. "Too little, too late, Mr. Yu," she muttered, slipping the phone back into her pocket.
When she returned to the eting, her expression was calm but firm, as though nothing had happened.
..........
Back in his office, Mr. Yu waited, staring at his phone, but no reply ca. He frowned and tried calling her, only to hear the automated ssage: "The number you are trying to reach is no longer available."
His face fell as realization hit him. She had blocked him.
"She’s done with ," he whispered, his voice filled with regret.
Outside the door, Yu i was listening, her mind racing.
Her father’s regret made her feel uneasy, but it also made her resolve stronger.
"You can regret all you want, Father," she whispered under her breath, "but I’ll be the one to finish what we started."
With that, she walked away, her plan more solidified than ever.
................
Bright Star was the top entertainnt company in China. All the stars signed by the company ended up making a na for themselves even on an international level.
When Yu Holea received a signing request from the company she was thrilled. Wanting to give a surprise to her boyfriend as well as her best friend.
Yu Holea held the freshly signed contract in her hands, her excitent bubbling beneath her calm exterior.
Signing with Bright Star Entertainnt wasn’t just a step forward; it was a leap into an entirely new world.
The assistant, a young man with a polite smile, handed her another folder.
"Miss Yu, before the contract is finalized, you’ll need the CEO’s signature as the last step."
Yu Holea blinked, slightly surprised.
"The CEO personally? Isn’t that unusual?"
The assistant nodded hesitantly.
"It’s a protocol for special contracts like yours. The CEO likes to handle major signings personally."
Though it felt strange, Yu Holea shrugged it off. After all, this was a top-tier company. Maybe they had their quirks.
Following the assistant’s directions, she soon stood in front of a pair of grand, mahogany doors. Taking a deep breath, she knocked twice.
"Co in," a voice called from inside.
Yu Holea paused mid-step. That voice—it felt oddly familiar, but she couldn’t place it. Shaking off the thought, she opened the door and stepped inside.
The office was massive, with sleek, modern decor.
A floor-to-ceiling window behind the CEO’s chair provided a stunning view of the city skyline.
The chair itself was turned away from her, facing the window.
She walked forward confidently, holding the docunt.
"Good afternoon. My na is Yu Holea, and I’ve just signed with Bright Star Entertainnt. I was told I needed your signature to complete the process."
The chair swiveled around, revealing the CEO, who was a man in his late thirties, sharply dressed in a tailored suit. His expression was unreadable, though his sharp eyes scanned her for a brief mont.
"Yu Holea," he repeated as if tasting her na. "Interesting. Let see the docunt."
She handed the folder to him, maintaining her professional deanor.
The CEO opened it, flipping through the pages before signing his na with an elegant flourish.
But instead of returning it, he calmly closed the folder, placed it in a drawer, and locked it.
Yu Holea frowned.
"Sir, with all due respect, I’ll need that docunt to proceed with the onboarding process."
The CEO leaned back in his chair, his lips curling into a faint, unsettling smile.
"Miss Yu, you’re new here. Don’t you think it’s polite to bring a welco gift when eting your CEO for the first ti?"
Her eyes narrowed slightly. Sothing about his tone rubbed her the wrong way. "A welco gift?" she asked, her voice sharp yet controlled. "What kind of gift are you referring to?"
The CEO’s smile widened, and he leaned forward slightly, resting his elbows on the desk. "A kiss. A simple lip kiss, nothing more. Consider it... a gesture of respect."
The air in the room grew cold as Yu Holea’s expression darkened. Her jaw tightened, and her previously calm gaze turned icy.
"A kiss?" she repeated, her voice now cold and steady. "You must be joking."
The CEO chuckled lightly, though there was no humor in it. "I’m not joking, Miss Yu. You’re a smart woman. You understand how this industry works. A little favor can go a long way."
Yu Holea’s hand clenched at her side. She stepped closer to the desk, her voice dropping an octave.
"Let make sothing very clear, Mr. CEO. I worked hard to get here. If you think I’m the type to trade dignity for success, you’ve severely underestimated ."
