Chapter 83

“Alice, do you think Suzanne will do as instructed? Jeanie asked worriedly from the side

Alice narrowed her eyes and curled her lips into a faint smile. She will she said. Then the picked up her phone

and sent something out:

Suzanne had just stepped onto the stage when her phone vibrated in her pocket. The screen showed a message

from Alice. Suzanne opened it and took a glance It was a picture.

Her mother and younger brother, who lived in the countryside, were tied up inside a small house and surrounded

by four or five men in black suits

Alice has used both coercion and temptation, Suzanne thought. A hint of coldness crossed her eyes as she

turned off her phone and said. “Hello, everyone. I'm Suzanne. | believe most of you know who | am. Although |

don’t often appear in public, it's not that | never do. You can lookup online if you wish.

Tm here today because of an issue regarding my author, ‘River. I'm sure everyone is curious to know who is the

real River Is it truly the lady standing before us, Miss Selena Dalton?”

Suzanne spoke very slowly, deliberately dragging her tone as if keeping everyone in suspense. Someone in the

audience grew impatient and shouted, “Ms. Heywood, stop keeping us in suspense! Just tell us quickly. We're all

waiting?”

Suzanne smiled faintly and said, “Alright then, letexplain. The real ‘River’ is... Before she could say it out,

she was interrupted

“Police!” A group of people in police uniforms barged into the venue. Leading them was a young man with well-

defined features, looking about 25 or 26 years old. His nwas Charles Melton.

With a stern expression, he showed his police identification card to the audience and then strode toward Selena.

His voice was firm and authoritative. “Are you Miss Selena Dalton?” he asked.

Selena’s face showed a flicker of panic, and she nodded and said, “Yes.”

“You have been accused of impersonating another person and profiting from stolen work. Please cwith us”

Charles said. As soon as he finished speaking, the original calm reporters erupted into chaos, eager to rush onto

the stage and get to the bottom of the story.

Maintaining a composed expression, Selena smiled and said, “Sir, you must have been mistaken. Id like to know

who accusedand what evidence they have against me.”

Leon hurried forward, still holding a microphone, and spoke loudly. “That's right, sir. There are so many reporters

present today. If you take my artiste away without explanation, it will tarnish her reputation. Please tell us what's

going on and resolve it right here, before the eyes of the media.”

Charles remained expressionless and said, “That would be against protocol. Miss Dalton, please cwith us

Selena maintained her smile and asked, “How about this, sir? You tellwho filed the complaint. As the

accused, | have the right to know who the plaintiff is, do 1?

Charles frowned slightly and answered directly, “It’s the real “River.”

Selena’s expression flickered with shock before she sneered and said, “Sir, you must be joking.”

Leon laughed right away. “Sir, you guys must have been too careless. Selena is River. Are you saying she’s suing

herself?” Leon asked

Charles responded firmly. “The real identity of ‘River’ will need to be verified in person.”

Leon suggested Since Ms Heywood is here, why don’t we have the plaintiff cforward and let her confirm it

on the ‘spot?” The reporters immediately chimed in, urging for the other party to be brought out

Charles made a phone call, briefly explained the situation, and quickly hung up. “The other party will be here

Meanwhile, Hailey on the other end received a call. “It’s all taken care of a rough, gruff voice mid

Hailey smiled satisfactorily and said. “Thank you for looking after Suzanne's family

The caller on the other end was a banly man with a tattooed arm, clearly someone from the underworld. He did

not know who this young woman was, but she had paid him a large sum to take his men and rescue a mother

and child.

Rubbing his tattooed arm, he chuckled. After doing so many bad things, it was a fresh experience to take money

for doing something good. “Don’t worry, Miss. I'll make sure they're well taken care of, he assured Hailey,

grinning

Hailey chuckled and said, “Many thanks.” Then, she hung up and turned to the man beside her. “We can go in

now” she said.

Owen nodded and said. “Alright. The two entered the hotel together.

At this moment, the lobby was still noisy and chaotic. The commotion had not died down for even a second.

Selena was getting impatient. She glanced at her watch and then signaled to her manager.

Leon stepped forward and said, “Mr. Melton, everyone's waiting. When is this person arriving? We can’t waste

everyone's time, right?”

“Why the rush: I'm right here.” A clear and pleasant voice rang out from the crowd.The crowd instinctively made

way. turning their heads to look behind.

Hailey did not dress up deliberately. Her outfit was warm. She was wearing a white cropped puffer jacket and

light-wash jeans. A black scarf covered most of her face, leaving only her beautiful eyes visible. She had no

She let go of Owen's arm, stepped onto the stage, and said, ‘Firstly, letintroduce myself. I'm Hailey Dalton

At this point, she glanced toward the audience. Dolly, the editor in question, lowered her head in shame.

Hailey did not dwell on it and continued, “Later on, Dolly left for personal reasons and Bonnie replaced me. Then,

due to work transfers, Bonnie moved on, and Ms. Heywood becmy editor.

Over time, Ms. Heywood and | developed a strong rapport. Subsequently, | left the platform and made her my

Suzanne smiled at her, sighing with emotion in her heart. “I'm sure everyone has a lot of questions now. You're

Leon was eager to snatch back the microphone, but it would be too impolite to do so in public. Someone soon

raised a hand. “You claim to be the real ‘River. What proof do you have? Selena has manuscripts and many

witnesses. What do you have?

“Wait a minute,” Suzanne interjected with a grin. “This whole time, | haven't revealed the real identity of River
