Karrie jotted down Skylar’s schedule and double–checked it with her.

Skylar said, “By the way, tell the PR team to stay alert. The moment the official account posts on X, I need you to release
the termination statement and issue a clarification.”
Karrie nodded. “On it, Ms. Lambert.” With that, Karrie left the office and returned to her workstation to resume her tasks.
The police released the results of their investigation on their official account. Immediately after, the company’s PR issued. a statement, declaring Jamar’s contract termination. Netizens were abuzz about this news.
[See? I told you guys to wait before voicing your opinion. There was bound to be a twist!]
[I knew a beauty like Skylar wouldn’t have such bad taste. Sure, Jamar looks alright, but good looks are a dime a dozen in showbiz. Skylar is rich and gorgeous. She even bagged Mr. Yates! Why would she bother leaving him?]
[Sorry for being so hasty earlier.]
[Why won’t Jamar come forward to explain himself?]
[Maybe I’m just being paranoid, but doesn’t this whole thing feel like that guy–Jamar–staged it himself? He’s not saying at word and just letting things blow up. Isn’t he just trying to milk the attention?]
The latter comment resonated with many people, and Jamar’s social media account was shortly flooded with hate
comments.
[Jamar, if you had the guts to do it, why don’t you have the balls to admit it? Coward!]
[Seriously, even now he’s playing the victim card? I’ve never seen anyone this shameless in my life!]
[Jamar, apologize now!]
No matter how much the haters and others criticized, Jamar remained silent and refused to respond. The cold glow from the phone screen cast harsh shadows across Jamar’s face, making his expression menacing.
“Looks like our plan backfired spectacularly. You may need to lay low and stay out of the public eye for now.”
“Let’s play it cool and let this blow over. In a few days, when people have mostly forgotten, they’ll stop harping on it. Then we’ll come out and make a public apology.”
Jamar protested resentfully, “Isn’t there any other way? Must I apologize for this?”
His manager snapped, “If you don’t apologize, what else do you think you can do to fix your image?”
Jamar bit his lower lip and remained silent.
“Watch yourself these days. Don’t let the paparazzi catch you again. Otherwise, I won’t be able to protect you.” With that, his manager dismissed him.
Jamar stormed out of the office, his suppressed anger finally erupting. Pulling out his phone, he muttered through gritted

teeth, “What a useless manager. Worthless! I’m gonna call right now and get you replaced!”
He called his sugar mommy and pleaded, “Katie, my manager is useless. Can you please get me a new one?”
“Okay. Thanks, Katie. You’re the best!” In a honeyed voice, Jamar said, “Katie, are you free later? Let’s have dinner
together.”
“Alright, I’ll be waiting for you,” Jamar said sweetly. He put away his phone, humming a happy tune.
Their dinner together soon led them to the bedroom. Katie lit a cigarette and took a slow drag. With a teasing smile, she said, “Babe, I love well–defined muscles. You should hit the gym sometime.”
“If that’s what you like, Wanwan, I’ll go work out,” Jamar said tenderly, taking her hand and pressing a gentle kiss to it.
“Wanwan, do you mind if I ask you for a favor?”
Katie, thoroughly pleased by his attentions and in a good mood, let out a contented hum. “What is it, Babe?” she asked
calmly.
Jamar pleaded, “Wanwan, can you help me take down Skylar? She’s so annoying and always has it out for me!”
“Is that so? She’s just some nobody running a startup. Crushing her would be as easy as squashing an ant, wouldn’t it?”
Jamar chuckled, “I knew it. Nothing’s ever a problem for you, Wanwan!”
Katie gave his cheek a light pat. “Just wait for my word.” She smiled.
Katie had been looking for an opportunity to cause trouble at Skylar’s company, but to her delight, she had the perfect opportunity.
She wasn’t originally supposed to attend the business dinner. However, her father had more pressing matters, so he sent
her.
