Chapter 1591
Steven continued, [Hannah, Iâve found out whoâs been trying to smear you. Rest assured, she will soon be holding a press conference to apologise and her days in this industry are numbered.]
Hannah felt her eyes well up at the message.
In the past, there were many who tried to sabotage Hannah, believing her vulnerable due to her lack of affiliation with any entertainment company. She worked with a free agent, running her own studio.
Everyone thought she had no backing, and everyone in the industry wanted to take her down. Little did they know, the man behind Hannah was the real power player.
The Dixon Groupâs film and television company was one of the best in the country. Their PR team was unmatched. Steven would handle everything without Hannah having to lift a finger, so after all these years, Hannahâs PR team was still not up to the mark.
Today, even though Hannah had clearly expressed that she didnât need Stevenâs help and wanted to handle the backlash on her own, Steven could not stand by. As the negative news about Hannah spreading, Steven was more anxious than Hannah herself, fearing any harm to his woman.
Hannah sniffled, her fingertips tapping out a message, [Steven, you should understand that the moment you decided to divorce me, we were over. Stop wasting your time and energy on me. Itâs useless.]e2j
After sending the message, Hannah switched her phone to silent, tossed it into her bag, and blankly stared at the road ahead.
Cornelia sensed Hannahâs low spirits, but was at a loss for words. She reached out and squeezed Hannahâs hand.
Hannah turned her gaze to Cornelia, managing a smile that quickly dissolved into tears. âNelly, Iâm not ungrateful. I know whoâs good to me and whoâs
not.â
Wiping away her tears, Hannah continued, âFrom the time I was hurt until now, Steven has been very good to me, so good that I thought he truly loved me⦠but Iâm scared, scared of falling again, scared of falling into the abyss. You havenât experienced it, so you donât know what it feels like. Those years I was like a drowning child, trying hard to grab a life-saving piece of driftwood, but I couldnât no matter how hard I tried. Sometimes, when I managed to grab hold of it and was about to climb out from the depths of the mire, Steven could push me back down to the depths again with a word or a look.â
She was once hurt, and even though she knew Stevenâs efforts were sincere, she dared not easily give her heart again.
Cornelia found a suitable spot to park, reaching over to give Hannah a comforting hug. âHannah, donât overthink things. Follow your heart. Lifeâs a long journey, so do what makes you happy.â
Hannah understood the logic, but with Steven constantly in her sight, how could she not think about him.
Ding-a-lingâ¦
Corneliaâs phone rang, interrupting their conversation. She immediately answered the call. Before she could say a word, she heard Ayden say, âCornelia, thereâs danger. Drive Hannah back to Celestial Chateau immediately.â
âOkay.â Without asking why, Cornelia fastened her seatbelt and pressed the accelerator, speeding towards Celestial Chateau.
Soon, several cars appeared around them, matching her speed, forming an impenetrable protective circle around them.
