Ex-husband’s Regret

Christine intended to leave the hotel and head to Jeswood to find Yasmin. However, paparazzi were like wild dogs when there was news, and she might not be able to leave the hotel without any trouble. For now, all she could do was wait. "Go get me something to eat. I'm hungry," said Christine.

Riley, suppressing her grievances, nodded in agreement. But just as her hand touched the door handle, the door was suddenly knocked on. She was startled.

Christine was also startled and quickly hid inside the room, telling her to find out who it was.

Riley looked through the peephole and saw a man in a security uniform outside, but she didn't make a sound and let him continue knocking.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Christine became anxious. "Why aren't you responding?

Riley didn't have time to stop him.

The man stopped knocking and spoke through the door. "Hello, I'm a hotel security guard. There have been complaints about noise from upstairs. I'm here to check the situation. Could you please open the door?"

This was a sensitive moment. Though assistants weren't as skilled as agents, they were still alert when it came to serving celebrities.

"Please apologize to the people downstairs. We're sorry about the noise earlier, and we won't make any more noise," said Riley.

But the security guard was relentless, insisting they open the door.

Riley called his bluff. "You're not a security guard. You're a reporter. If you keep harassing us, I'll call the police."

Seeing that he was exposed, the man had no choice but to leave and try another approach.

He needed to see Christine today to ensure a smooth promotion and raise. After all, first-hand news about Yasmin's daughter was worth a fortune!

When Riley saw him leave, she sighed with relief. But she didn't receive any thanks from Christine. "How could a reporter be here? Can't you even handle such a simple problem?"

Christine was Yasmin's daughter, and all resources, including public relations, were provided by Yasmin.

But now that she couldn't be reached, an assistant's with the ability to prevent Christine from being exposed to reporters was already impressive.

Before she could say more, her phone rang.

Assistants also had their own circles, Many celebrities weren't as they appeared on screen, so they formed groups with like-minded colleagues to occasionally vent their grievances. Today, the discussions were all about Christine. The group chat was full of mentions of her.

"Are you still serving Christine?

'Look, she's not Yasmin's biological daughter."

"She brags about her mother all day long, but turns out to be a fake."

"I always said that Ms. Jackson was so beautiful and talented, so how could she give birth to a daughter who's so useless? Turns out, she isn't."

"How could someone so talented give birth to someone so useless?"

Riley went from shock to calm.

"Didn't you hear me talking to you?"

Christine regretted not using Yasmin's assistant from the start. This one really couldn't do anything right.

"If you hadn't been so careless with the camera and asked me such stupid questions, we wouldn't be in this mess!"

"I wouldn't be getting cursed all over the internet..."

"I'm quitting!"

"What?"

Christine's words were suddenly interrupted, and she was even angrier. "You begged me to be my assistant back then, and now you say you're quitting just because things are tough! And this situation happened because of you, because you were stupid, that's why it turned out this way."

Riley felt that talking to Christine was pointless. She was so used to relying on her status as Yasmin's daughter that she had become arrogant.

"You better check the trending topics. Do you really think you're some kind of big shot? What a fool!"

After hurling those words, Riley felt refreshed!

She left briskly, leaving Christine looking at her receding figure.
