The store clerk had indeed violated company policy, but Hannah, understanding the struggles of ordinary workers, decided to let it slide. "Here. I won't hold this against her. For my sake, could we let her keep her job?"
"If you won't press the issue, we will not penalize our employee," the manager declared. If the customer chose not to make a fuss, then the matter could be laid to rest.
"Alright then," Hannah said, wrapping up the situation. She and Cornelia left the store.
Her location had been exposed. If they didn't leave now, her fans nearby would soon swarm the place, making it harder for her to leave unnoticed.
Hannah was oblivious to the fact that, after her departure, the store clerk once again pulled out her phone and switched her WhatsApp account. Within the new account, there were numerous groups, all carrying derogatory names about Hannah.
"Ugly Hannah"d2
"Kick Ugly Hannah Out of Hollywood"
She casually opened one of the groups, finding it filled with unflattering photos of Hannah. A smirk curled on her lips. "Good thing I was prepared, or I might've lost my job because of you, you ugly bitch."
Her gaze hardened on Hannah's photo. "You're hideous. How can you compare to my girl, Sandy? Why should Sandy always be overshadowed by you?"
"Go to hell!"
...
Cornelia drove Hannah back to the Celestial Chateau mansion.
Throughout the ride, Hannah was engrossed in her phone. Having been in the entertainment industry for years, she was recognized for her beauty and unflattering photos didn't faze her. However, the news of her being a mistress and bearing a child for a tycoon had a big impact on her. Even if she decided to retire, she couldn't let such a scandal tarnish her reputation.
Her agent was on edge, having exhausted all PR tactics, yet unable to suppress the negative news flooding the internet.
