The Cherished Wife

Winter thought for a long time but could not figure out who would hate her enough to do this.

"I don't know what to do either. Mr. Lason has already left, Winter. You need to prepare yourself mentally."

"What do you mean? Aren't you my agent? Think of something! Are you just going to let them continue like this? My career is-" Winter's words were cut short by the ringing of her phone.

Seeing it was Xavier's number, her hand trembled.

Jane noticed it, and her eyes flashed. "Take the call. It's your fiancé."

Winter's hand shook for a long time before she took a deep breath and answered. "Hello, Xavier..." Her voice was pitiful and trembling, carrying a tone that could elicit sympathy.

Nheless, Xavier was not in the state of mind to be sympathizing with her. His dissatisfaction with Winter had been growing, and now, there was yet another problem.

"What's going on with you? My phone has been ringing off the hook since early morning, all from entertainment reporters. Previously, didn't you say those things were fake and that you were framed? Explain this new scandal to me now! Is this also a setup?"

Xavier was furious. He had hoped to move forward with Winter since things with Noelle were not going anywhere, but what the hell was Winter doing? "What do you take me for?"

"Xavier, let me explain. What you've seen isn't real. It's all fabricated by someone who wants to harm me. Xavier, you have to believe me. The photos... Yes, the photos are fake. That's not me!"

Winter was panicking. She had worked hard to be with Xavier, to take him from Noelle. This man was hers, and she could not lose him. "You don't understand the entertainment industry. I must've offended someone, which is why-"

"Enough. Don't take everyone for a fool. If you don't give me a clear explanation, then we're o—"

"Xavier!" Winter interrupted, her voice

cracking. "Don't say that. I don't like

it! Never say that to me. This must be a setup. Please help me. Wait, Charles can help. Can you askContent (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Charles to help me again? He'll help me!

"Charles?" Xavier scoffed. "You want me to beg Charles again?"

"But-"

Winter could not finish her sentence before Xavier hung up.

Winter stood there, clutching her phone tightly with an incredulous look on her face. She could not believe Xavier had refused her and actually hung up on her.

No! Xavier was hers!

Winter gritted her teeth and turned to Jane. Aren't you going to help me think of a way out? You're my agent! If you can't fix this, what kind of agent are you?"

"Winter, be reasonable!" Jane was furious. She was shocked at how quickly Winter had turned on her. "I can't do anything about this. The situation has blown up, and Mr Lason wants no part of it. I'm just a small-time agent. Do you think I have the power to suppress all this news?"
