Chapter 575
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
But the most eye-catching headline wasâ EXCLUSIVE: Lindseyâs Biological Mother is the Founder of Cherish!
The comments under this post were brutal.
âI used to believe Lindsey made it on her own, only to find out she has a powerful family background.
â
âI knew Lindseyâs background was no ordinary one.
How else could a new agent stand up to a director like Jayleen? And even outmaneuver Kristy? Now it all makes sense.
â
Another comment mocked, âSo her mother is Anti, huh? No wonder Cherish snubbed Gallop Entertainment and went for a smaller, newly established company.
These behind-the-scenes deals are sickening!â
âWe have all been deceived by the inspirational persona established by Lindsey before.
If such a personâs company could survive, the showbiz is really a mess!â
The netizens who had been fond of Lindsey were backlashing her angrily.
They also threatened that if Cherish cooperated with Lindseyâs company, they would permanently boycott Cherish.

Lindsey knew Cherish could get dragged into this mess, which was the last thing she wanted.
With a throbbing headache, Lindsey took a deep breath and called Juanita.
âHey, Mom.
How are you doing today?â
âIâm fine,â Juanita replied, her tone surprisingly calm and unaffected by the turmoil, âWhatâs wrong? Oh, you want to talk about the scandal trending online, right? Iâve spoken to Leonel.
Itâs all just nasty tactics.
Need me to step in and handle it?â
âMom, Iâll look into it.
You donât have to do anything.
â Lindsey insisted, not wanting to involve her mother further.
She hesitated, then added, âI called to say⦠Iâve decided to end my partnership with Cherish.
â
Ending the partnership would effectively silence all the rumors.
Lindsey saw this as the quickest solution to the issue.
âLinds, are you really going to yield to those who persecute you?
This is not what my daughter will do.
â
Lindseyâs grip tightened.
After a lengthy pause, a composed voice came from the phone, âDo you really think calling off our partnership will stop the online hate? Not a chance! Theyâll just claim you caved under pressure and look down on you even more! Remember what I told you; once this was all exposed, any explanation would seem like an excuse.
The best approach is to ignore it and keep doing your thing.
By the way, there is one more thing.
Gallop Entertainment reached out for a collaboration.
Linds, youâre smart enough to see whatâs going on.
â
A realization dawned on Lindsey.
Gallop Entertainment was the company where Shelia was now.
She recalled Shelia mentioning Gallopâs interest in working with Cherish.
If Lindsey stepped aside, the one likely to gain the most wasâ¦
Thinking of this, Lindseyâs thoughts became clear in an instant.
âI got it, Mom.
â
After ending the call, Lindsey knew her next move.
She contacted the officer who had visited her earlier, sharing her suspicions about Shelia and requesting a private investigation.
Late into the night, after finishing tasks assigned by Lindsey, Nancy just stayed in the office.
Lindsey had left earlier and hadnât returned yet.
Nancy, after spending ten minutes mentally preparing herself, finally picked up her phone and messaged Mercer.
