Talking about the details of that night was just like ripping open a wound that still hadn’t healed and then rubbing salt into it.

Peyton was a lawyer; he’d heard countless complicated stories and met every type of client there was.

His heart ached for what Wendy had gone through, but it was in the past–there was nothing anyone could change about it now.

After really listening to Wendy, Peyton spoke softly, “You should call the police. I’ll be there with you as your lawyer every step of the way.”

Wendy nodded. “Okay.”

For the past couple of days, Teresa and Leo had been sticking by her side, never leaving her alone.

Wendy told herself, ‘I have to toughen up. I can’t let Teresa and Leo–those who truly care about me–worry.

So she steeled herself and made up her mind: she was going to call the police.

Once Peyton finished speaking, she took out her phone and powered it on.

Ever since the incident, she hadn’t dared to look at her phone.

But now, she summoned up all her courage and decided it was time to start fresh.

As soon as her phone powered on, notifications exploded–likes and comments flooded in on her videos, news alerts kept popping up. and trending topics on Twitter appeared one after another.

Among all those notifications, there were also text messages from George.

Wendy clicked on them almost automatically. The first thing she saw was George frantically apologizing: [Wendy, I’m so sorry. Please forgive me. I just lost my head that night–that’s the only reason I did what I did. But we’ve been together for years, and things like this have happened before, right? Please don’t be mad at me, okay?]

[Wendy, why won’t you answer me? Please, just don’t tell anyone what happened tonight, okay?]

and I swear you’ll be the only woman in

[I’m really sorry, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me. I promise it will never happen again, a my life from now on.]

[Wendy? Can you just reply to me?]

[Wendy, stop pretending like you’re some kind of victim. I’ve seen everything there is to see about you, played with you inside and out. Who do you think you’re fooling with that pathetic act?]

[Seriously, after dumping me, do you really think any guy would even want you?]

[What, you dead or something? Cat got your tongue?]

[Listen up–don’t even think about going to the cops. If you do, I’ll blast our sex video to your parents, your sister, and everyone you know. I’ll make sure they all see how their precious, oh–so–sweet Wendy really acts in bed.]

With that last message, George even attached a short video.

Wendy didn’t need to click it–she already knew exactly what it was.

She couldn’t bring herself to open it. Her hand tremlded harder and harder as she gripped her phone.

Teresa noticed something was off and quickly stepped over, gently steadying Wendy “What’s wrong?” she asked, worry etched in her

voice

Wendy slowly stood up, letting most of her weight rest against Teresa. Her voice was raspy as she whispered, “Teresa. I–Frant doll Im not calling the police anymore.”

If flipse videos got our. Wendy knew she’d never be able to show her face us public again.

After she got to her feet, Wendy just headed for her room without another word.

Peyton immediately noticed something was wrong and called out, “Miss Stone, are you really just going to let the person who bullied you walk free like nothing happened?”

Wendy shouted back, her voice on the verge of breaking down, “No one bullied me! No one! No one!”

After yelling, she trudged slowly back to her room, each step heavy.

Peyton pressed on, not letting it go. “Miss Stone, if he’s threatening you, that means his offense is even more serious.”

Wendy shook her head, tears streaming down her cheeks as she choked out, “I’m not calling the police. I’m not.”

With those words, she dragged herself into her room, not looking back.

Teresa glanced at Peyton, her tone laced with apology. “Mr. Peterson, I’m going to check on her. Sorry to trouble you, but could you wait here for a moment?”

Peyton nodded. “Sure.”

When Teresa walked into the bedroom, she found Wendy collapsed at the edge of the bed, sobbing her heart out.

Teresa crouched down beside her, gave her shoulder a comforting squeeze, and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”

जा

Wendy sat up, her eyes were red and wild, almost frightening. She looked straight at Teresa. “George is a total bastard. He secretly recorded us in bed and now he’s blackmailing me with it. He threatened me–said if I go to the police, he’ll leak the video.”

Teresa was stunned speechless.

But after thinking for a moment, Teresa couldn’t help but press, “Wendy, are we really just going to let him walk after all this?”

Wendy clung to Teresa, sobbing uncontrollably. “Just… let me think, please. Just let me think.”

Teresa didn’t try to force anything, just silently stayed by Wendy’s side, giving her all the comfort she could.

Teresa could already guess what Wendy was thinking.

Wendy’s parents cared a lot about their reputation. If those videos leaked, they’d scold Wendy instead of supporting her.

For years, Wendy had been working her ass off, making videos, trying to earn money–just to show her parents she was someone worth being proud of.

But in her parents‘ eyes, no matter how much she made or how many fancy gifts she bought, her career as a content creator would never be considered a real, respectable job.

In her parents‘ eyes, Wendy’s job was never a real career.

With her family already strained, if George ever exposed those videos, her parents would just resent her even more.

So Teresa figured Wendy really had every reason to be worried.

Wendy cried for a long time. When she was finally too exhausted to go on, she drifted off to sleep with her head resting on Teresa’s shoulder

Teresa sat there in silence, waiting patiently. Once she was sure Wendy was sound asleep, she gently eased Wendy’s head off her shoulder and laid it on the pillow.

After making certain Wendy was still asleep. Teresa quietly got up and left the bedroom.

When Teresa stepped out, Leo was looking at her, worry written all over his face.

Feeling a bit thirsty, Teresa poured herself a glass of water and drank at, then turned to Leo. “Let’s give Wendy a little more time to think things through”
