Her plan-killing two birds at once-had worked flawlessly.

After all, she had sworn to remove any stumbling blocks from her path.

With John gone, the true paternity of her unborn child was a secret that would stay buried.

As for the detestable Valeria, whether or not she dodged a prison sentence, this scandal would spell the end of her career.

Eleanor savored the sweet taste of impending victory.

But it was a pity that her child was gone.

Could she still have a future with Brian?

In the police station

After visiting Valeria, Rosalynn came out and saw Hutton.

“Rosalynn!"

“What brings you here?”

"I came as soon as I saw the news," Hutton said, worry lines etched on his face.

"How is she doing? Did you manage to speak to her?"

“She...”

Before Rosalynn could answer, a woman's voice cut through the chatter.

“Officer, I'm Valeria's manager. What is her current situation? Has she been charged? Her relationship with John was purely personal. Our agency had no part in it.”

Upon hearing the agent's words, Rosalynn frowned.

How could Valeria's agent act this way?

When Valeria was in trouble, her agent didn't seek ways to assert her innocence. Instead, she was quick to abandon her, even going as far as to malign her.

“Old woman, what nonsense are you spouting? What kind of agent are you?

When you exploited Valeria for your profit, you treated her like a servant. Now that she’s facing trouble, you're quick to wash your hands off her. Don't you feel any shame!"

In a fit of anger, Hutton, more incensed than Rosalynn, verbally attacked Valeria's agent.
