Chapter 84
Sherry glared at Yanina. “You’ve really grown bold! You even dared hurt Chris! Do you know that Chris‘ oral injuries are severe? It can possibly turn into cancer.”
At that moment, Yetta stepped forward. “Mrs. Zamora, you need to provide evidence when you make statements. Just because your daughter said Yanina did it? Who are you trying to fool? Unless you provide evidence, you’re just slandering.”
Sherry gave Yetta a glance of displeasure. “Didn’t your parents teach you not to interrupt when others are speaking?
“She said exactly what I wanted to say, Yanina remarked, pulling Yetta a step back. She knew Sherry had bodyguards around, and she didn’t want Yetta to get into trouble.
Mrs. Zamora, you’d better ask Christina what she and her friends did to me and my friend. If there’s nothing else, we’ll leave now” Yanina held Yetta’s arm, hurrying away.
After they walked far away, Yetta finally asked, “Is that fierce woman Cameron’s mom?”
Yanina nodded.
“That old witch is so unreasonable, always favoring her own daughter. Yani, you must have suffered a lot during the year you were married to Cameron, Yetta said, feeling sorry for Yanina.
“Carl protected me. I didn’t suffer any grievances in the Zamora’s home, Yanina replied. But she couldn’t shake the bad feeling inside her. With Sherry suddenly returning from abroad who knew what trouble she would cause?
On the way back, Yanina drove while Yetta sat in the passenger seat.
“Yani, you became a trending topic again!” Yetta exclaimed, receiving a notification from Goldenlight Entertainment and quickly pulling Yanina to take a look.
Someone had posted photos on Twitter of Yvale Revenue Service investigating Yanina for tax evasion.
The comments below were shocking.
II knew it. Such a popular live streamer is bound to evade taxes.
[She has such low morals. She’s corrupting the live streaming industry.]
This kind of live streamer should be banned.]
Yetta gritted her teeth in anger at the comments. “They just went to check your tax documents. It doesn’t mean you’ve really evaded taxes. Someone is deliberately setting you up and stirring up public opinion with these photos!”
Yanina seemed accustomed to those haters‘ attacks by now, totally unfazed
“We’re doing everything by the book. I’m personally keeping an eye on all our taxes. We’re law–abiding taxpayers, and we don’t owe the government a single dime. Once we release these tax documents, it’ll all blow over. Maybe it’ll even boost our popularity, Yanina said calmly.
Yetta nodded in agreement.
These kinds of photos could only have been leaked by someone inside Goldenlight Entertainment.
TenderSnail’s plastic face popped into Yetta’s mind. “It must be that plastic munster who tries to frame you!”
Yanina couldn’t help bus laugh. That description was spot on.

They chatted and laughed as they drove towards Goldenlight Entertainment.

Meanwhile, in the General Manager’s office at the Everbright Group, Cameron was holding his phone, frowning at the trending topic about Yanina on Twitter.
A knock echoed through the room as Zak walked in, holding a document.
“How is the investigation going?” Cameron asked.
Zak had a calm expression. “It’s nothing major. Just a minor influencer from Goldenlight Entertainment, jealous of Mrs. Zamora’s opportunities, reported her to Yvale Revenue Service. But Mrs. Zamora hasn’t done any tax evasion, so there’s no need to worry. This whole thing will be resolved soon.”
With his hands in his pockets, Cameron remembered Yanina’s words when she rejected him. She wanted time to rewind.
He didn’t care whether time could really go backward or if Yanina would accept him.
From this moment on, he was going to look after her, protect her, and make sure she never got hurt again, not even a little
bit.
“Blacklist her.” Cameron parted his lips slightly. His tone was calm, but his words were sharp.
“Got it. I’ll handle it right away,” Zak nodded.
“Is the necklace ready?” Cameron asked.
“I’ll be delivered at 4 p.m., Zak replied. After he spoke, he turned and left the office.
Cameron slightly narrowed his eyes, looking at the photo of him and Yanina on the desk, a faint smile on his lips.
Back then, Yanina hadn’t graduated yet, and he was studying abroad. He went back to Yvale during holidays to see her.
Yanina said her classmates didn’t believe she had a friend more handsome than a celebrity, so she took a picture with him. near the school. This was also the only group photo of them.
Cameron couldn’t help but place his finger on the smiling girl’s face as if he could feel Yanina’s smooth, delicate skin through the photo.
It made him think of their wedding night. At that time, he didn’t even want to touch her. He felt a kind of resistance toward
Yanina.
He believed that in today’s world, arranged marriages shouldn’t exist.
He thought that he and Yanina shouldn’t be influenced by his grandfather’s old–fashioned thinking.
He clearly planned to have an open talk with Yanina to keep their marriage only in name. If either of them met someone suitable during the marriage, they would go their separate ways and seek their own love.
But when he returned to the bedroom and saw Yanina sitting by the bed in her white nightgown, he couldn’t hold back the flutter and heat in his chest.
an
He hugged, kissed, and touched her. He was like a man under a spell, wanting to occupy every inch of Yanina’s skin.
It was as if a can of gasoline was lit by Yanina and ignited a wildfire. It made him want to merge Yanina into his very being
He even felt an unexplainable thrill upon seeing the tears at the corners of Yanina’s eyes. But afterward, he regretted it deeply, holding back the words he wanted to say
Wanting control but ending up in chaos, Cameron felt it was an insult to his self–control. He shouldn’t be like this.

He wanted to reach out–and bold Yanina, but his hands were always pulled back at the last moment. He was completely embarrassed. This was why, even after a year of marriage, he rarely talked to Yanina.
He didn’t want to admit defeat, completely falling under Yanina’s spell.
Every time he came home and saw Yanina, he pretended to be indifferent and uninterested. Yet, inevitably, he found himself drawn into their big bed, unable to control himself.
Even when Yanina suggested divorce, he never thought she would actually leave him.
But now, he deeply understood what it meant to year for what one couldn’t have and regretted his past choices.
If he had recognized his feelings for Yanina and admitted defeat earlier, maybe things wouldn’t have become like this.
Cameron glanced down at himself. Every time he thought of Yanina, he felt embarrassed and ashamed. He had always been captivated by her.
Cameron walked

the bathroom of his office suite. After half an hour, he came out dressed in fresh clothes.
When he looked again at the online discussions, the comments had shifted completely in Yanina’s favor
