Chapter 30
Everyone turned to Yanina, waiting for her response.
She smirked at the mention of the marriage certificate. They now actually had a divorce certificate.
As for the Zamora family, now that she and Cameron were already divorced, dragging his family into this mess was the las thing she wanted to do, especially not to worry Carl.
“No way.” Yanina said, shaking her head firmly.
“What do you plan to do, then?” Warren’s voice sharpened with frustration. “This little Goldenlight Entertainment can’t handle someone like you,”
“I don’t buy that. Shawn countered, his signature smirk still in place. “I can handle it! Ms. Fulbright, what’s your plan? Warren clenched his jaw. “And what can you get, Mr. Haney?”
“I’m in a good mood.” Shawn took a sip of his coffee, peering over the rim at Yanina.
He said. “I’ve brought in a team to shape public opinion, framing this as just a young love triangle. It has nothing to do with any so–called marriage.
“And if you think an explanation isn’t needed, then it’s off the table.”
He turned his gaze to Warren. “Let’s not forget who put you in this position, Mr. Yates.
“Goldenlight Entertainment is a legitimate business. We can’t let just any scandal, good or bad, define us. Do you honestly think we’re running a sleazy operation?”
Warren stared, taken aback Yetta chimed in. “TenderSnail”
Warren’s face–flushed. That connection was definitely something special. It was why he’d decided to let TenderSnail take Yanina’s place for the live streaming.
“I thought I could recoup some losses… Warren trailed off.
“Trust me, using that method will only lead to more losses, Shawn shot back.
He then turned to Yanina again. “We won’t interfere with your choices, but please keep us in the loop before making any big decisions.
“Whether you go back to Universe Media or stay at Goldenlight, we can work with you on next steps.”
Yanina nodded. “Thank you.”
Leaning closer, Shawn whispered just loud enough for her to hear, “You know, you could also repay me in other ways. I
wouldn’t mund”
Yanina flinched, her mind racing. Is he suggesting he doesn’t care about my previous marriage? Or is he brushing off my scandals?
She quickly leaned away, feeling uneasy because she had no feelings for him. “I do mind.”
Warren and Yetta remained oblivious to their silent exchange
Clearing his throat, Warren said, “Since Mr. Haney feels that way I guess I have no choice but to agree. So, Ms Fulbright, what’s your decision?
Chapter 30
“I updated my Twitter bio. The truth will out, I don’t want to make any other statements right now; I’ll let time do the talking.

At the Watson residence, Yosef, the head of the Watson family, lounged on the sofa, watched entertainment news on the screen, and focused on the streamer known as “CrimsonSnow,”
“Looks like these streamers are more interested in drama than selling products these days. What a shame… he sighed, ready to change the channel.
Suddenly, his youngest daughter, Jasmine, pointed excitedly at the TV. Dad, that’s the lady who saved me at the hotel!” “Really?” Yosef leaned closer, studying the screen, clearly pondering.
Even though Jasmine was just twelve, she understood the negative spin in the news about Yanina. “Dad, can we help her? She’s a good person.”
Yosef’s heart softened as he looked at his daughter. “Of course, sweetheart. No matter what her personal life looks like, she saved you. We owe her a favor.
With that, he picked up his phone and dialed a number.
Inside the Everbright Group, Zak paced around his office, phone buzzing in his hand, heart racing like a hamster on a wheel The caller ID showed Carl’s name, and panic set in
He regretted not leaving with Cameron for Utravia for a few days. At the moment, thanks to Cameron’s little getaway, he was left to handle the fallout.
He didn’t know how he was supposed to explain this to Carl One wrong word, and he might find himself reassigned
somewhere remote.
Taking a deep breath, Zak reluctantly answered the call.
“Where the hell is that little punk Cameron?” Carl’s voice boomed on the other end. “His wife is being bullied, and he’s nowhere to be found! I can’t reach him by phone, either! What is going on?”
“Mr. Zamora is currently on a flight. He’s out of the country for work, Zak responded, forcing a smile even though nobody
could see it
He couldn’t risk telling Carl the truth–that Cameron had taken Callie on vacation. If Carl found out, he’d probably break Cameron’s legs when they got back.
Carl said, “Hmph! That little jerk sure knows how to run away. You better come here; I’m at home, waiting for you.”
Zak quickly nodded as if Carl could see him, then hung up, and let out a deep sigh. He rushed to the Zamora residence.
When Zak pushed open the door of the Zamora residence, it was eerily quiet. Ethan was out on business abroad, and Sherry wasn’t home either, leaving Zak alone with Carl. That made him feel even tenser.
He approached the study and knocked hesitantly. “Mr. Zamora, s me.”
“The door’s open
With shaky hands, Zak pushed the door open. The sight that greeted him made his stomach drop. Carl sat at his desk. holding a divorce certificate, and the tension in his forehead made several veins stand out prominently.
Chapter 30
Carl asked, “Did they actually divorce?”
Zak nearly stumbled as shock washed over him as he realized Carl was aware of everything.
“Mr. Zamora, there… There are a lot of things going on,” Zak stammered, sweat trickling down his back.
He couldn’t find a way out of this mess. They needed Cameron back ASAP!
Carl shot a cold glance at Zak. This divorce certificate means nothing to me. Yanina is still my granddaughter–in–law, at member of the Zamora family. Got it?”
“Understood, understood!” Zak nodded rapidly, scared to disagree.
“I can’t hide anything from you, Mr. Zamora. After the divorce, Mr. Cameron Zamora regretted his decision pretty quickly Zak forced a smile, hoping this might ease the tension.
“He regretted it and then went abroad on vacation with another woman?” Carl snapped back.
