Chapter 4The Scandal at The Golden Globes

Just as I was halfway through my speech, a commotion started below the stage.

"Whispering" would be an understatement.

Everyone tried to keep it down, but the shock of the gossip made voices involuntarily rise.

Turns out, an anti-fan had leaked a video of me pregnant with a visible baby bump.

That was six years ago, shortly after I broke up with Julian.

I had planned to numb myself with work, but before joining the cast, I suddenly found out I was pregnant.

After that, I withdrew from the production and vanished from the public eye for a whole year.

This video was taken by a surveillance camera in the complex where I lived back then.

I forgot what I went out for that day.

But because I wasn't wearing a mask, my face was captured clearly.

When I walked off stage holding the trophy, my agent and assistant rushed over immediately, wanting to shield me as we left.

But it was too late. Reporters swarmed us.

Cameras and microphones were practically shoved in my face, everyone asking the same question—

"Miss Jensen, who is the father of the child?"

I was trapped in the crowd, unable to move an inch.

Not far away, no one dared to approach Julian.

If Julian and I were still together, maybe the reporters would be a bit more polite.

I saw the shock on Julian's face. His fingers resting on the armrest were clenching it white-knuckled without him realizing.

He knew who the father was.

That was why the always composed Julian lost his cool in public for the first time.

I didn't answer the reporters directly. instead, I smiled and denied: "I don't have a child."
