“So what if you’re in the Zamora family’s territory? You splattered hot water and hurt people; that’s your fault, and we’re not afraid of the cops! We’re in the right!” Yetta glared at Christina, fuming
In the right?” Christina scoffed, looking around at the crowd. “Who saw me splatter water?”
Everyone exchanged glances, hesitating to speak up; after all, they knew better than to mess with someone like Christina.
“I didn’t see anything. I was busy drinking, one person piped up
“Neither did 1, another added.
Christina raised her chin. looking down at Yetta with a smirk, asking. “What now? Still think you’re in the right?”
Yetta clenched her teeth, staring daggers at Christina, wishing she could slap her. Just as she was about to retort, the door to the private room burst open with a loud bang. Steven rushed in like a gust of wind, wrapping his arms around Christina. “Christina, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?” he asked.
Pointing an accusing finger at Yanina, Steven shouted, “You wicked woman! Christina only said a few words, and you splashed hot water at her! Do you even have a conscience?”
Faced with Steven’s accusation, Yanina chose silence. Arguing with him wouldn’t get her anywhere. Since he would argue about her paintings being done by Sherman, she wasn’t going to waste her breath over this petty slander.
“Let’s just wait for the police, Yanina said calmly, sitting back down and using a tissue to wipe the water off her legs.
Steven knelt beside Christina, gently blowing on her calf and helping to wipe off the water.
“Be gentle,” Christina teased, playfully scolding him.
Anders, not wanting to upset Christina or delay the filming schedule, quickly stepped in to mediate. “Ms. Zamora, please show some grace and don’t stoop to Yanina’s level. Yanina, you should be apologizing to Ms. Zamora. We’re heading to Utravia tomorrow, and we can’t afford to delay the shoot Apologize now.”
Yanina lified her gaze to Anders but didn’t back down. “Mr. Chapin, you were right there; it’s clear she splashed the hot water. Why should I apologize? Just because she’s wealthy and powerful doesn’t mean we have to how down to her. Have some self–respect
Yetta frowned, huffing in annoyance. Her voice was low, but everyone in the crew heard her loud and clear.
Anders was furious. Yanina refused to apologize, and even her assistant dared to challenge him as well. “Yanina, you better take your assistant had apologize to Ms. Zamora! She has no respect and knows no rules!”
“Rules? Is your rule to ignore right and wrong and force your subordinates to gravel before the powerful? Sure, she’s any assistant, but she’s also my best friend, and she did nothing wrong.” Yanina retorted, snorting coldly.
“You’re out of line! You were the one who dumped water on Ms. Zamora! How dare you act so righteous?” Anders shouted.
Christina’s smile widened, showing a devious glint in her eyes as she looked at Yanina “See, Yanina? If you get down on your knees and apologize to me now, I might let you go free for the tip to Utravia. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you’ll end up in jail. Once that happens and delays the entire filming process, you can expect a hefty fine from Blurberry Cameron won’t cover that bill for you-
As soon as the words left her mouth, everyone in the room was unned Cameron is funding Yanina? What’s going on? Could that handsome guy from earlier really be Cameron? That would mean Yanina is Cameron’s mistress! The rumoT’S online are true! people thought.

Chapter 35
Anders finally pieced together why Christina had been targeting Yanina, thinking, Christina must have discovered that Yanina is the one who broke up Cameron’s relationship with Callie, and that’s why she’s trying to call the cops to get Yanina
With this realization, Anders felt emboldened. “If you don’t apologize. I’ll immediately contact Blurberry and have them. revoke your endorsement!”
Yanina looked up at the group, answering, “Do as you please.”
With a calm demeanor, she said, “Mr. Chapin, isn’t it a bit hypocritical of you to side with Christina? If something happens to her, the Zamora family will back her up. What about you?”
Yetta quickly took the cue. “You don’t have to worry about Mr. Chapin, Yanina. He’s helping Christina, so she’ll definitely help him in return”
Moments later, a cop pushed the door open.
Steven stepped forward, identifying himself right away. He dramatically recounted the events, clearly painting Yanina as the one who splashed hot water on Christina.
Did you actually see this happen, Steven? Yanina asked derisively, her eyes sharp.
Caught off guard, Steven stammered, “I wasn’t there, but I heard about it.”
Anders jumped in once again. “I can confirm it. Yanina absolutely splashed hot water on Christina. We all saw it, and we can all testify.
The police approached the two injured girls for a closer look. I nothing serious. You all should just settle this privately.
Everyone present had unique statuses–the Zamora family’s daughter, the heir to the Hopper family, the popular streamer CrimsonSnow, and Anders… This was obviously a battle between rich families, and he didn’t want to get caught in the
middle.
Yanina rose to her feet, her gaze steady as she looked at the officer. “Let’s check the surveillance footage. They’re slandering me, and I need to clear my name. I’m not against pursuing legal action if it comes to that.”
The officer was momentarily taken aback. “Miss, even if this is handled officially, it’s just a petty matter. No matter who splashed the hot water, it hardly caused serious injuries–just minor burns that wouldn’t even require a hospital. A cold rinse. and a few days should do. Honestly, you’d be better off settling this privately.”
Just as the officer finished speaking, Shawn’s voice rang out from corner. “Their burns might not be serious, but what about the burns on my back?”
Shawn was standing there with his shirt slightly pulled up, his muscular chest and alas on full display. But what caught everyone’s eye was the array of blisters on his shoulder and back
“Shawn, you’re hurt so badly! Why didn’t you say anything sooner?” Yetta cried out, rushing towards him, tears streaming down her face.
Yanina’s expression softened with guilt. Shawn had been standing next to her earlier and most of the hot water had splashed
Christina furrowed her brows deeply: Shawn getting involved de things more complicated.
Let’s get you to the hospital right away. I’in really sorry to drag you into this.” Yanina said gently.
Shawn lowered his head slightly, speaking in a tone only she could hear, “It’s my honor to take the sit for you
Yanina turned her gaze away. She was grateful to Shawn, but that didn’t mean she wanted him in her life.

Anders hadn’t expected Shawn to be hurt so badly; his expression turned grim.
I’m going to

the hospital for a medical report, and I’m going to ste Christina for intentional harm. Shawn declared.
Christina hadn’t anticipated Shawn would act so boldly against the Zamora family. A moment of shock passed before she saw Steven nodding at her, and she relaxed back into her seat..
Christina sneered, “Everyone here knows it was Yanina who splattered the hot water. What does that have to do with me? If you want to file a lawsuit, it should be against Yanina,”
“Let’s just check the footage,” the cop said, looking at both sides, realizing he needed to review the surveillance.
