Chapter 1453 The Truth
Thanks to that, the comments turned out pretty positive, and some said they were a good match. Some said the
news that went viral was fake, or Ian and Cindy wouldn’t have gone to play ball so easily. Others said they never
realized Ian could be so hot, but after seeing him on the court, they realized why he had so many female fans. All
the comments were nice, and so far, there weren’t any negative ones popping up.
Cindy put the phone down and patted her chest. She was getting a bit jumpy because of the scandal. Every time
something new popped up online, she was worried she might get insulted again. After that, she put her phone aside
and went to bed, feeling much better.
It was tiring cheering so loudly earlier, so she drifted to sleep almost as soon as she lay down on the bed. She had a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdream that night. And in that dream, she explained what happened in the waiting room to everyone. Whatever she
couldn’t say in reality, she said it all in her dream.
She said Linda started it first, and that Linda was the one who slapped the assistant, not her. But the public wouldn’t
believe her. She almost exhausted herself with the explanation, but the cold, hard stares kept coming. Cindy was
saddened, for she couldn’t understand why the public still went on a witch hunt even though she did nothing wrong.
The dream didn’t go on for too long, and it changed to another one later in the night.
But even after she woke up, she could still remember the first dream, and how she felt so helpless then. She woke
up feeling lethargic, but still she went to wash herself up. The moment she came out of her room, however, she
noticed that Ian was already ready for work. He was on the sofa, scrolling through his phone.
Shocked, Cindy looked at the time, noting that it was still early. He never wakes up this early. She forgot she was all
unkempt, and she went over to ask, “Why did you wake up this early? Are your legs hurt?”
Ian turned around and looked at her, half-amused, half-annoyed. “Do you really want them to get hurt? Just let it
go, will you?” After a while, he continued, “Anyway, I’m fine. Hannah called me just now. It’s about the news.”
Cindy got all frustrated again hearing that. “Again? For Pete’s sake, what is it this time? Can’t we get a break?”
Ian smiled. “It’s good news this time. Go wash yourself up and we’ll talk about it later.”
Cindy looked at him, confused. Only then did she realize that her hair was unkempt, and she looked terrible. A
moment later, she went into the bathroom to wash herself up, brush her teeth, and comb her hair. It didn’t take her
long to groom herself. Once she was done, she took her phone to see what was happening online. She and Ian
were already on Trending for the last few days, so she had to pay attention.
The latest search was still about Linda, but this time, Linda’s assistant was the one who made the statement. Her
statement was posted only a few hours earlier, which was late at night. Obviously, she struggled to decide if she
should post it, but in the end, she did.

The assistant recounted the events that took place in the waiting room, and she told everything honestly, including
how Linda started the fight and yelled at everyone.
The assistant even posted a photo of her swollen face as evidence she got slapped, then she detailed how Linda
would abuse her every time she felt upset. She even said that Linda threatened her to keep the truth about Ian and
Cindy a secret. Since the assistant didn’t give her a firm answer, Linda wouldn’t let her go, and she kept issuing
verbal threats to the assistant.
Further down the post, the assistant said she was getting anxiety attacks and would get shocked by every little
thing. She even had insomnia and had to take pills if she wanted to get some sleep.
After the news went viral for the whole day, she couldn’t take it anymore, so she told everyone the truth. If she
didn’t, her conscience would keep knocking on her soul. The assistant even said that Cindy stepped forth to protect
her when Linda gave her that slap.
