The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 246

Winter thought her role was already secured. After all, she believed that being associated with Charles meant getting a part in a drama was just a matter of him making a call.

However, Winter had oversimplified things. The day after her audition, her confidence in securing the role was shattered by yet another scandal.

Miles, the director of the drama, was dissatisfied with Winter to begin with. This new scandal only made things worse.

The trouble began right after Winter's audition. Despite her displeasure with Ruby, a producer of Royal Star Entertainment, she believed she had managed her relationship well.

Yet that evening, news about her past resurfaced on Facebook and entertainment forums. Winter had previously managed to suppress those stories, but this time, more explosive news emerged.

Years ago, Winter had gone to Maldoria to shoot a film for an entire year. She was only 18 or 19 at the time.

Suddenly, photos of Winter linking arms with men and other more explicit photos were all over the internet. These old photos, which no one would have recognized if not released, clearly showed Winter.

As the person involved, Winter instantly recognized her younger self in those photos. She had been casually browsing Facebook in her room when she saw herself at the top of the trending news again.

She began assuming it was due to her recent audition. However, upon clicking in, she discovered it was far from what she expected. Her feed was flooded with these indecent photos, and her comment section was filled with fans, haters, and trolls attacking her.

After staring at her phone in shock, Winter quickly got dressed and prepared to leave.

Jade was standing by the door when saw Winter's panicked state and sensed something was wrong. "Winter, what happened? Where are you going so late at night?"

"Mom, there's no time to explain. I need to go to the company. If… If any reporters or paparazzi come, don't open the door or say anything, okay?"

Winter rushed out, leaving Jade stunned for a moment before she hurried to Julian's study. "Julian, has something happened to Winter?"
