When the fans realized that Katrina was the person scheduled to appear, their anger surged to its peak. Their affection for Blake also extended to Sylvia, and knowing the extent of her mistreatment, not a single person could sit still. They began chanting Katrina’s name, hurling insults at her.
Already uncertain about how to take the stage, Katrina was further bewildered by their chants. She stood there, biting her lip, wishing she could just turn and leave, but the thought of the exorbitant penalty feet she’d face left her stuck in place. If only she had never gotten involved in that mess.
“Seems like Katrina isn’t too keen on coming up here, but no matter, tell the legal department that she’s breached the contract. We’ll proceed according to the agreement,” Blake said, and the crowd understood. From the start, Blake had never intended to give Katrina a platform. All he wanted was to make her pay, in
a different sense.
Hearing his words, Katrina’s head spun, her knees gave out, and she collapsed to the floor, She couldn’t believe the man on stage, basking in the adoration of thousands under the spotlight, could speak such
frigid words.
He had said they’d follow the contract to the letter. Under those terms, she was ruined–she’d have to pay
an astronomical breach of contract penalty.
Katrina seethed with rage, pinning all blame on Sylvia. If it weren’t for Sylvia’s interference, none of this would have happened. All her woes, she was convinced, sprang from Sylvia. She wouldn’t let Sylvia get
off easily!
With gritted teeth, she resolved to face the situation head–on. She’d try to mitigate the disastrous financial penalty, deciding she had to step up, regardless of the cost. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Just as she was about to move, the next song started, completely different from the one she was supposed to join. Katrina turned pale, instantly realizing this was a targeted move against her. She didn’t get far before her own agent pulled her away, slapping her across the face.
“I thought you could be of some help, but you’ve only caused chaos,” her agent berated her. “Do you have any idea how much effort I put into connecting with Blake? And you ended up ruining it all!”
With her face swelling from the slap, Katrina turned incredulously to look at her agent, the person she had relied upon for smooth sailing throughout the years, never expecting he’d raise a hand against her.
“Don’t act so high and mighty,” he snapped. “The higher–ups have already given up on you. Just come abroad with me, but know that doing so means the end of your career. Start thinking about your next steps.
The agent spoke truly; he was thoroughly fed up with Katrina, who acted like a spoiled heiress, displaying arrogance without the talent to back it up, and getting into trouble at every turn. Had it not been for certain backers, the agent would have washed his hands of her a long time ago. And now, after being abandoned by all, the last thing he intended to do was show her any kindness.

With those final words, the agent left, showing no what Katrina was thinking or going through. Katrina, feeling lost and dejected, left the concert and stood outside, unsure of her next move.
Chapter 112 Selfishness
She knew that everything she had today was because Cyril had been supporting her. Without him, she’d never have made it this far. But with the agent revealing that her backer had dropped her, it was clear Cyril had given up on her.
“You can’t stay in the country anymore. It’s best you go abroad; it’ll be beneficial for what comes next,” Cyril said without watching the concert anymore. Sylvia had left the event, and he saw no reason to stay. He had come out, pondering other matters that needed resolution.
Tears streamed down Katrina’s face as she saw Cyril. She stared at him intently, wanting to ask why he
was doing this to her, but the words were stuck in her throat.
“All the things you did to Sylvia could have been ignored if you just stayed abroad and never came back.
If you do return, I’ll settle every new and old grievance with you,” Cyril stated.
Katrina’s tears fell uncontrollably as Cyril looked like a stranger to her–someone she had never known.
“What do you mean by new and old grievances? What have I done to Sylvia? I just sent some photos, and you knew about it but never stopped me. Now you want to pin this on me–you are truly disgusting. I’ll tell
you, you’re the most selfish person in the world!” Katrina said with bitter laughter. Everyone thought she
was wrong, overbearing.
But in her view, as excessive as her actions might have been, she was openly pursuing her own desires.
Cyril was different -he knew what he had done, yet he stood by and let everything happen without ever trying to help Sylvia. And now he was defending her in front of Katrina–what did that make of him and of
her?
“Did you realize you liked her after the divorce? What were you doing before that? She loved you so much, gave up everything to be by your side. She swallowed all the bitterness from the way others treated her. and now you feel indebted to her–what about before?” Katrina’s questions left Cyril speechless. His
sense of debt was now too late; the hurt he’d caused couldn’t be remedied even if he wanted to make
amends.
“What happens between me and her is our business, and it has nothing to do with you anymore. Perhaps.
you should spend your time figuring out how to survive abroad instead,” Cyril said, ready to leave. But as he turned to walk away, Katrina grabbed his sleeve, her hands trembling.
