Adam's Adam's apple bobbed fiercely before he bowed his head and gently pressed his lips to Sherilyn's. His
heart pounded in his chest, as if it were about to leap out! His palms were slick with sweat, and he dared not
deepen the kiss, afraid of waking her... It was a short, fleeting kiss before he quickly stood up and walked out. He
feared that if he stayed, his emotions, like his actions, would spiral out of control... The door clicked softly shut
behind him.
On the couch, Sherilyn slowly opened her eyes. She raised a hand to her lips, feeling the lingering trace of his
touch-warm and dry. Her phone vibrated in her pocket. Snapping back to reality, Sherilyn picked up her phone
and stepped outside to answer. "Hello?"
"Hello..." The voice on the other end was distorted, masked by a voice changer. Sherilyn's brow furrowed
immediately, "Who is this?"
Who would call using a voice changer?
"You don't need to know who | am. You're Sherilyn, right?"

"Yes... who is..."
"Listen up."
The caller didn't give her a chance to question, "Do you remember your past mistakes?"
"Past mistakes?" Sherilyn was puzzled, "I don't understand what you mean."
"Letbe clearer... The Neon Nights Bar, does that ring a bell?"
The Neon Nights Bar? Of course, Sherilyn remembered; it was her first job when she arrived in Sunhaven. But
what past mistakes?
"| still don't understand."
"Really? Then I'll send you a photo, and maybe you'll get it."
The call didn't end. A message cthrough, and upon opening it, Sherilyn saw a photo of a man and a woman.
The woman was clinging to the man's arm, both nestled closely, exiting the side door of the Neon Nights Bar.
Sherilyn's face went pale.
The photo was blurry, but she could
tell the woman was her. The man's face was pixelated, but Sherilyn knew it was Ernest Smith! In desperation for
Jenna's surgery funds, she had once considered selling herself! She never imagined that this would cback to
haunt her!
"Who exactly are you?" Sherilyn's grip on her phone tightened, her nerves stretched taut.
"still asking? If | were you, I'd be thinking about how to resolve this!"
Sherilyn let out a bitter laugh, "Speak. What do you want? Blackmail? Money?"
"Correct! Listen well, | want a million dollars within three days! Once | receive the money, I'll send you the
original tape!" Then they hung up.
"Hello? Hello?"
Sherilyn held her phone, at a loss.

What was she supposed to do? Ignoring the outrageous demand for a million dollars, even if she paid, what
then? Even if they kept their
promise and handed over the
original tape, there was no
guarantee they hadn't made copies!
Sherilyn paced back and forth, biting her lip. If this got out, her career in the entertainment industry was likely
over. Her new show was about to premiere, and aside from her personal loss, would this affect Blake and Mr.
Marshall? The two directors had always favored her, offering numerous opportunities. She couldn't drag them
into this!
And Jenna! If the rumors spread, it would also impact Jenna!
Gilbert emerged from the restroom, eyeing Sherilyn as she paced, "Sherilyn?" "Hmm?" Sherilyn looked up
blankly, forcing a smile, "Oh, you're here." Gilbert studied her face, his expression darkening, "Why do you look
so pale?"
