Accidental love
Chapter 212 Is the Truth Significant?

Anna found those comments ridiculous.

When a star was popular, netizens claimed they were true love. Once there was a scandal or rumor, they turned into anti-fans at once. For them, a star should be perfect all the time. They would criticize any flaw he had and annihilate all the efforts he made before.

The seemingly glamorous showbiz was actually the darkest place in the world.

Stars were their laughing stock after meals...

All hard work and efforts could be exterminated by an anonymous post on the Internet.

What a miserable reality!

Anna sighed and moved closer to Jack in the car. Only touching him would she feel at home. He also felt her mood and hugged her into his arms, his warmth soothing her nervous heart. "We'll be home soon. You rest first." "Jack, do you want to go to the company first to handle the scandal?"

"We've had a solution after the video conference. Rick can deal with it alone." The Dragon, an ignoble company, didn't deserve his own presence.

"Then... can I visit Serena? I'm worried about her."

Jack nodded and ordered Bill to send Anna there secretly without being noticed by the media and then bring her back intact.

Since Serena's apartment was surrounded by a crowd of reporters, Anna couldn't replace a way in. Therefore, she had to take the freight elevator on the other side and met Serena on the rooftop.

Ten minutes later, Serena arrived at the rooftop in a black windbreaker, a pair of sunglasses, and a hat.

Anna saw her tight and overall outfit and immediately realized something, thus moving forward to take off her sunglasses. As suggested, Serena's eye corners and forehead were bruised. That man beat her again! "Does it hurt? Anywhere else? Let's go to a private hospital!"

That kind of scum didn't deserve to live.

Serena dropped her eyes quietly and smiled bitterly. "I wanted to break up with him completely. However, he beat me before hearing my words. He might want to kill me... If I didn't escape in advance, I might not have met you here." Words failed Anna. She just stared at Serena.

Serena bent her head, tears trailing down her cheeks.

"I had given him lots of money, but he wasn't satisfied. He let me give him fifty million dollars in three days. Otherwise, he will post my secret pictures he snapped on the Internet."

"I really don't know what I can do..."

"I should kill him and end everything!"

Serena squatted on the ground in pain, sobbing.

Anna slowly squatted in front of her and whispered, "Tell me. How did his mistress, that actress die?"

"It was a car accident. The driver is running away and hasn't been caught. So he thinks I paid the driver."

"Then have you investigated the case?" Anna asked again.

"Yeah, but I found out nothing. No one trusts me..."

Anna took a deep breath. They shouldn't wait and watch that man destroy Serena with such despicable means.

"Recall your past carefully and sort out all your evidence. Probably we can fight against him."

"You should be yourself. Let that scum regret what he had done to you! Let him repent of his crime. No matter how dirty he is, it has nothing to do with you."

"There is no retreat. But as long as you survive this suffering, you're still an international actress!"

Serena looked up and saw Anna's face.

"You're right... I should be responsible for my life and make him regret it!"

She should stop trying to perish with him and let him repent completely. She shouldn't hide anymore.

After getting past that, Serena suddenly smiled at Anna. "Sometimes, you and Mr. Jack are alike, all calm..."

"He was the man who dragged me away from extermination. It's him who continues my life."

"Anna, you must be devoted to each other forever. As long as you're together, I'll believe true love exists in this world."

Anna helped Serena up and took off her sunglasses and hat. "I will because I haven't intended to leave him all my life."

"Time is nearly up. Rick arranges a press conference. I'd better go."

Serena wiped her tears, ready to fight.

"No, we don't go to the conference. We should go to the hospital!" Anna grabbed her. "Since you need to tell the truth, you should have conclusive evidence. Let all your fans and female friends know how much you have suffered." Serena suddenly realized Anna's intention.

She nodded.

From then on, she really regarded Anna as a friend, a sincere friend without any interest involved. This mutual dependence was even more important than family affection.

Anna and Bill sent Serena to an authoritative hospital.

Soon, the media had a new trend.

Serena, a well-known actress, showed up in a hospital with multiple bruises and scars caused by abuse. She seemed to be beaten again and threatened.

Rick told the public what Serena had suffered over the years at the press conference. Before she became a star, she had been abused by this scum...

Apart from the lovely photos of them showed on the Internet, Rick presented many photos of her being abused as evidence.

The counter-attack shocked all the audience. Besides, they felt sorry for Serena as long as seeing her scarred body. For so many years, she had tolerated it alone but was condemned by the public!

Serena wasn't the sinner at all!

Soon, her female fans stood out. They couldn't watch Serena be forced to die because of the online violence.

...

"Serena, stop crying. See, the online trend has changed. Anna and Rick's solution is very effective. No one can bully you anymore." Her assistant checked the latest news on the Internet over her phone and said to Serena, "Don't do anything stupid, okay?" Serena experienced a nightmare that made her a different person. There was more than one choice for her.

She learned to pull herself together, to face up to the pain, because people still trusted her and the Dahlia was her shelter...

"I thought Anna gained her achievement by backroom deals. Unexpectedly, she's so capable." The assistant sighed. "She's the only star who dared to meet you during this period."

"Will Mr. Jack fall for a weak lady?"

Serena recalled what Anna said that day, which convinced her deeply.
