Reclaiming Her Heart

The police station was already surrounded by a large crowd. Austin had just won a major award and was currently the most popular male star with a huge fan base. When such a scandal broke out, the entire internet was shocked.

Especially the short article written by the parents of the autistic child, which directly put Austin in the eye of the storm.

Children, assault, autism-these labels together were incredibly powerful.

Fans were shouting in disbelief, but netizens were already in an uproar, cursing vehemently online.

S.M Corporation instantly became the target of everyone's anger!

When Selena arrived at the police station, Austin's agent Toby Perez was already there waiting, his eyes red from crying. "Ms. Fair!"

Seeing Selena, he immediately stood up from the ground.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Fair."

Selena didn't look at him and walked straight into the police station.

Austin was sitting on a bench, with a police officer still interrogating him.

Selena had a strong presence, dressed in a gray women's suit with her hair simply tied in a low ponytail.

She first shook hands with the person in charge, then placed her hand on Austin's shoulder.

"Officer, Austin will not say anything until our lawyer arrives."

Austin shivered all over, feeling lost and helpless.

Having been in the entertainment industry for so long, he knew very well that if this matter wasn't resolved properly, he would be ruined.

He lowered his head, listening to Selena calmly refute every question from the police. In the end, the police had to wait for the lawyer. Selena pulled Austin aside and poured him a cup of tea.

"Tell me everything that happened from the beginning."

Austin's eyes, naturally expressive, were now downcast. Fortunately, he wasn't too scared to speak coherently.

"When I went to that little girl's house to shoot a commercial, her parents said she was a fan of mine and hoped I could say a few words to her alone. I thought the child was well-behaved and obedient, and knowing she had autism, I felt soft- hearted and agreed to go to her room to sign an autograph."noveldrama

"The photographer didn't go in with you?"

"No, the parents said they didn't want the bedroom to be in the shot. I went in for a few minutes and then came out for the normal shoot."

Selena understood then that they had set a trap from the beginning, using their autistic daughter.

"Ms. Fair, I'm sorry for causing trouble for the company. You can... you can terminate my contract."

In such situations, companies usually abandon the artist. Although it would be a pity to lose Austin, a super popular actor, they had to do it to protect the company's reputation.

And once abandoned, Austin would never recover, as people online would curse him all over.

Selena didn't speak, thinking about a solution.

The other side's move was indeed insidious, especially using a child.

Now the parents were crying in public, and the public would inevitably demand an explanation from S.M Corporation.

[I never thought Austin was such a person!]

[He assaulted an autistic child! Bastard! He should die!]

[No mother would use her own daughter like that, as it would ruin her daughter!]

So everyone believed the mother, thinking Austin had indeed done such a despicable thing.

The internet was in an uproar, and the atmosphere in the police station was heavy. Selena took a sip of water and instructed him.

"Until this matter is resolved, don't go online, and turn off your phone. I'll have Toby stay with you. Leave the police to the lawyer. Right now, it's just the parents' side of the story. Until evidence comes out, you're still free."

The lawyer arrived quickly. Austin saw Selena talking to the lawyer, her eyes calm and gentle, yet firm. She argued reasonably with the police, saying they would fully cooperate but didn't want the police to make any promises to the public before the matter was confirmed.

It was already six in the morning when both sides reached an agreement.

Selena had just left the police station in a car when it stopped at a traffic light, and another car pulled up beside her. It was Isla.

Isla arrogantly rolled down her window, made a gun gesture with her hand, aimed at Selena, and pretended to shoot, then drove off.

This bunch of rich kids from Vistalia didn't take Selena seriously at all.

Isla and a few other rich kids laughed recklessly. Someone asked her.

"Isla, if you stand up for Tessa this time, does that mean you'll become Lawrence's wife?"

Isla's arrogance instantly disappeared, her face turning shy.

"That depends on Lawrence."

The car instantly became lively, with everyone talking about Vistalia, not caring about Selena.

None of them took action, thinking dealing with Selena was a small matter. Now that Selena had offended Isla, they let Isla take revenge herself, crushing Selena, which would also bring Isla and Lawrence closer together.
