Chapter 232
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
âToday marks the wedding anniversary of Mr.
and Mrs.
Lopez.
What I received are nothing but figments of imagination, to discourage me from signing a contract with Miss Potter.
I canât confirm their validity, so itâs best not to stir any distress by voicing unverified claims.
â
Her words set everyone abuzz with anxious curiosity.
Some of the female stars, previously overshadowed by Selah, seized the chance to exacerbate the situation.
âMiss Archer, do enlighten us.
Is there any truth to these rumors? Weâre in the dark here,â they prodded urgently.
âHave you received any concerning news about Miss Potter?â
âWeâre all friends here.
If you withhold, itâs as if you disdain us!â exclaimed someone from the crowd, the pressure mounting on Jayleen to divulge.
While inwardly amused, Jayleen wore a facade of feigned confusion, as if grappling with how to articulate her response.
Vincent, his robust demeanor overshadowed by a furrowed brow, stepped forward.
âMiss Archer, speak your mind.
I too wish to understand,â he urged with earnest concern.
With a resigned sigh, Jayleen relented.
âMr.
Lopez, if you insistâ¦
Okay.
â
She paused before addressing the gathering.
âAs many of you know, thereâs an ongoing rivalry between Lindsey and me.
Itâs possible that someone, aware of our competitive dynamics, sought to stoke the flames by feeding me information about Miss Potter.
To be frank, I was utterly taken aback by what I saw.
It seemed unbelievable.
â After a pause, she added, âThereâs a recorded statement from Andrew.
In it, he explicitly denies any intimacy with Selah, making it impossible for the child to be his.
Heâs even willing to undergo a paternity test to substantiate his claim.
â
The revelation left everyone in stunned silence.
Wasnât this the dirt of Selah that had circulated online recently?
However, previously, the source had merely hinted at the news without providing concrete evidence.
It led many to dismiss it as baseless gossip, perhaps a deliberate attempt to tarnish Selahâs reputation.

With Andrewâs statement, did it mean the online rumors were true? Did it confirm that the child Selah bore wasnât his? Did that prove the news online was true?
A nosy individual interjected, âA record? Really? Jayleen, do you say that on purpose because you canât sign Selah and are afraid that you will lose to Lindsey? Do you have any evidence?â
This woman had been arranged
by Jayleen, and after her statement, Jayleen looked at the speaker with a nod before awkwardly responding, âWhat do you imply? Am I the sort of person who will deliberately ruin others if I fail to secure a contract? After your insinuations, whoâd dare to work with me in the future? Even if the evidence I received isnât true, for the sake of proving my innocence, Miss Potter, I apologizeâ¦â
In the midst of the publicâs scrutiny, Jayleen played the recording.
As Andrewâs voice echoed through the room, the onlookers gazed at Selah with a mix of complexity in their expressions.
Selahâs shock was palpable.
Andrew claimed theyâd never been intimate?
How could it be possible?
Five years ago, she had drunk a lot in the Champs Le Bar, then she couldnât remember anything.
Upon regaining consciousness, she found herself in disarray, with Andrew seated beside her.
He said he had s@x with her.
Later, Andrew attempted to coerce her again, but she fought back vehemently.
Her screams drew the attention of the staff, thwarting Andrewâs advances.
Shortly after, she discovered she was pregnant, and Andrew, leveraging nude photographs, compelled her into marriage.
After getting married, every time Andrew sought s@x, she resorted to threatening him w
