Karina's voice wavered.

"Is that all?"

“Certainly!"

His response was so resolute that Karina had to quell the tears welling up in her eyes, resorting to a self-deprecating smile.

She had long accepted his callous nature, but she questioned why she had continued to hope for something more.

In Rosalynn's apartment Having tidied up and changed, Rosalynn and Maggie went about their individual routines.

Maggie delved into the study materials Karl had given her for the postgraduate entrance exams in the living room, while Rosalynn retreated to her study to sketch.

The serene silence was broken when their phones buzzed simultaneously.

Undoubtedly, this signaled significant news.

Engrossed in her sketch, Rosalynn curiously glanced at her phone to find every social platform buzzing with the same heated topic.

She grabbed her phone and skimmed through the news, her expression shifting dramatically.

“Unbelievable! A famous actress, Miss Moran, is suspected of murdering a well-known director and has been taken into police custody. She's also implicated in an assault on renowned star, Miss Hilton, who's been rushed to the hospital.”

The news item was supplemented by several photographs, capturing the moment the star was escorted by the police.

Though the actress's face was blurred, Rosalynn instantly recognized Valeria.

Valeria was in trouble!

She was embroiled in a murder accusation.

“Rosalynn, have you seen the news?" Maggie, also privy to the news, pushed open the door.

"Yes, I have," Rosalynn replied tersely, rising from her chair to exit the study.

“Rosalynn, is that Valeria? How could she be a murder suspect?"

Aware of the strong bond between Valeria and Rosalynn, Maggie couldn't suppress her concern.

Quickly changing her attire, Rosalynn stated, "I'm not certain about the details. I'm heading to the police station.”

“Do you need me to accompany you?" Maggie offered.
