Chapter 543:

Tatiana asked, “What’s the matter?”

Suddenly, a sharp slap resonated across the restaurant, and both Tatiana and her assistant were taken aback.

As the assistant came back to her senses, she found the live stream’s comment section erupting with cheers.

“Nice one! Great job! Ha-ha! She had it coming!”

“Who is this impressive woman? She did a good job!”

“If I were there, I’d give Tatiana ten slaps to express my frustration!”

The atmosphere began to shift. Even if Madisyn had mobilized online trolls, the response wouldn’t be this unified. There were still many who supported Tatiana, making it implausible for all the comments to skew so negatively.

Tatiana slowly came to her senses, and then anger began to rise within her. She demanded, “Why did you hit me?”

“How dare you even ask? You despicable person!”

The woman’s face twisted in revulsion as she continued, “You jerks abducted Kathy and took her to the border with plans to sell her. Yet here you are, feigning innocence and accusing Madisyn of hiding Kathy. It’s people like you who tarnish the reputation of the industry!”

The woman’s fury felt personal; she had a friend who had been deceived and taken to the border, only to be seen again.

Tatiana quickly retorted, “You’ve been tricked by Madisyn. She’s really hiding Kathy!”

“Liar!” The woman struck Tatiana again and then said, “Kathy has already come forward. How can you still deny it?”

Hearing this, Tatiana was stunned. Her complexion turned pale. Kathy wasn’t dead? How could this be?

In disbelief, Tatiana hastily checked her phone and found Kathy live streaming.

Kathy looked gaunt, as though she had aged a decade in mere days. Her eyes were hollow, her stare weak, and her whole body shook unnervingly.

In a raspy voice, she said, “I almost died. I was drugged and placed in a car, and when I regained consciousness, I was on a ship. Directly across from the ship lay a notorious region known for human trafficking, a place where women often meet gruesome fates—either assaulted and killed or sold for their organs. I was petrified. I realized I had been abducted and saw no escape. Then, a masked figure emerged. I couldn’t see her face, but she cut the bindings on me and urged me to jump into the sea. Terrified, I hesitated. I could swim, but in such a vast ocean, where would I find the shore? The woman departed after instructing me. Soon, I heard footsteps approaching. Knowing it was my only chance to survive, I leaped into the water. I can’t recall how long I swam. When I dragged myself ashore, I was exhausted and collapsed into sleep. Later, the police discovered me and brought me back.”

Kathy’s uncontrollable weeping and the sheer terror in her eyes left no doubt about the authenticity of her ordeal. Those listening felt a wave of dread wash over them.

It was a harrowing tale of survival!

It also cast a dark shadow over Global Entertainment, suggesting a brutal disregard for the welfare of its actresses.

Kathy said, “I barely made it out alive, and I demand answers from Global Entertainment!” The comments flooded in with support for her.

Tatiana’s eyes widened in disbelief.

How could this be?

Kathy had survived!

“Tatiana, are you shocked? While you’ve been here maligning Madisyn, Kathy has returned to unveil your deceit!” the woman said coldly.

It was then that Tatiana realized the looks directed at her were not of admiration and respect but of revulsion.

“It’s not true! If we really had taken Kathy, how could she have returned? This is all a scheme by Madisyn!” Tatiana protested loudly.

“We all saw how you reacted! Do you think we’re fools?” the woman said, her anger deepened by her own friend’s tragedy. She demanded, “Apologize to Madisyn!”

“I’ve done nothing wrong. You’ve all been fooled!” Tatiana exclaimed.

“Sure, Tatiana. Just wait,” the woman said with a sneer as she walked away.

A shiver of fear traveled down Tatiana’s spine.

Even though the woman hadn’t insisted on demanding an apology, Tatiana was left with a foreboding sense of dread.

She felt especially frustrated.

She confronted Madisyn, “Madisyn, do you think you can deceive everyone like this? The truth will reveal itself.” Realizing it was wisest to depart, Tatiana and her assistant quickly exited the scene.

Once they were in the car, Tatiana felt suffocated and immediately called her agent to check on Kathy’s condition.

However, as they started to drive, their car was abruptly rammed, nearly careening into a nearby lake. Both Tatiana and her assistant were horrified. In a desperate attempt, she managed to steer the car back onto the road, but their assailant had already disappeared.

The assistant turned to Tatiana and shouted, “Tatiana, your face!”

Panicking, Tatiana grabbed a mirror and, shocked by the sight of blood on her face, nearly passed out. “We need to get to the hospital!”

Following a thorough medical evaluation, the doctor tended to Tatiana’s wound.

“This wound is deep. It may not heal completely and could result in a scar.”

“Doctor, I’m an actress. How can I live with a scar? Please, use the best treatments available—I can’t afford to have a scar!” Tatiana pleaded, her voice filled with fear.
