Chapter 348
As Zayn was a busy man, he immediately left Willow’s tiny apartment after breakfast. Peace and calm were restored after his departure.
Willow took a bath, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t wash off the feeling of filth that clung to her body. Once her soul was corrupted, no amount of bathwater and high–end shower gel could cleanse her body.
Willow got a call from Eric in the afternoon, notifying her that the contract was finalized. He was waiting for her in the apartment lobby to sign the contract. She was surprised that Eric showed up with the contract without any fuss because she thought she’d lose the endorsement deal for Arena of Glory after the conflict between her and lan.
After carefully poring through the contract and making sure there wasn’t any unreasonable clause, she finally signed it. She thought a million dollars would be a fair endorsement fee, but she anticipated a lower offer from Arena of Glory due to its popularity and her lack thereof.
To her shock, the contract stated an endorsement fee of 10 million dollars! She was overjoyed at the endorsement fee, as she could finally repay much of her debts to Zayn.
Honestly speaking, she disliked the corrupted entertainment industry. Yet, she had put a foot in the industry, and she resolved to make a name for herself despite her negative feelings about the industry.
She could only increase her earnings by gaining fame. Then, she could clear her debts to Zayn and offer Aaron a better quality of life.
Only by being successful could she deal a blow to Skyler, Wilhelmina, Sylvia, and the others who had wronged her.

The Nightingale Corporation was indeed generous and agreeable. From what she heard, celebrities usually received their endorsement fee in installments. However, the 10 million dollars immediately appeared in her bank account on the same night. The Nightingale Corporation even took care of the taxes on the endorsement fee on her behalf.
She delightedly counted the eight–digit figure in her bank account a few times, vowing to perform well to repay Nightingale Corporation’s investment in her career.
She decided to get Zayn’s bank account later to transfer some money to him. Without the burden of debt, she could rest in peace when death knocked on her door.
Moses‘ men fetched Aaron from school and sent him to the Quayle Manor. Willow felt indebted to Moses for sharing her childcare burden, So, she decided to buy some quality ingredients and cook up a feast at the Quayle Manor for everyone.
Before she left her apartment,‘ she received a call from the private detective she hired. She hurriedly answered the call.
The detective reported to her, “Ms. Sanford, we got some updates from tailing Skyler Dawson and Louis
Mayer per your request. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

“They showed up at Splendid Paradise tonight. I know you hired us, but all we could do is provide you with their whereabouts, as we cannot afford to get on the bad side of the Dawsons and the Mayers. We
hope for your understanding.”
Willow did not expect anything more from the private detective. After all, she’d only feel reassured by taking certain matters into her own hands.
She took out a pinhole camera she had bought earlier from the drawer and casually tossed it into her handbag.
Years a
ago, Willow had been aware of the licentious relationship between Skyler and Louis. Since Skyler repeatedly attempted to record sex tapes to ruin Willow’s reputation, Willow decided to give her a taste
of her own medicine.
She thought, “Let’s see if Skyler will ever recover from the scandal!”
