him.

Tonight was a charity banquet, and it was even a live broadcast. Countless people on the Internet were watching, and there were many media reporters present.
As expected, a group of reporters surrounded them at the entrance, wanting to interview them.
"Mr. James! You've been embroiled in scandals with Miss Yeats. Are you going to announce your relationship today?"
"Mr. James, so are you really in a relationship with Miss Yeats? How long have you been in a relationship? Do you have any plans to get married?"
"Miss Yeats, may I ask how long you and Mr. James have been together? Was the statement your company released last time an attempt to gauge public reaction?"
A series of questions were thrown at the two of them. Cheryl was only smiling and looking at the man beside her.
On such an occasion today, only Hackett's response was the most powerful. It would completely legitimize her identity and lead to a significant rise in her status within the entertainment industry.
Cheryl looked at Hackett's side profile with a sweet and blissful smile, waiting for him to announce it to the world and give
her status.
However, no one expected....
Hackett said word by word to the microphones and cameras of these media reporters, as well as the online audience who were watching the broadcasting live, "Everyone, I have to clarify here today that Miss Yeats and I are only in a working relationship, not a couple. Miss Yeats is a contracted celebrity in the James Group's film and television industry. That's how it is Thank you
With that, Hackett turned around and walked into the banquet hall.
The smile on Cheryl's face gradually stiffened as she stood there, not knowing what to do. Countless cameras kept pointing at Cheryl, capturing her shocked expression.
"Miss Yeats, is what Mr. James said true? You two are just in a working relationship? Then why did we take so many photos of your secret date previously?" "Miss Yeats, are you really just in a working relationship?"
Faced with the reporters' questions, Cheryl could not hear a single word. Her mind was filled with clarification from Hackett.
Was this the reason why Hackett had invited Cheryl to the banquet tonight? Was he doing all this to make her suffer such a great humiliation in public?
So Hackett did not feel guilty about what he had done last night! Instead, he wanted to abandon Cheryl?
Cheryl suddenly turned around and rushed into the banquet hall, tears streaming down her face. Why?
Why should Hackett abandon her?
