Chapter 498 Alaric's Decision

Every time, Evelina would make an excuse to go to his apartment to retrieve something.

In reality, her true purpose was to see Alaric, hoping to persuade him and cling to him desperately.

Alaric was tricked by this a few times, but he eventually stopped falling for it. He gave her the apartment

password and told her to retrieve it on her own. Evelina had no other option but to give up when she couldn't

find him.

Until the appearance of the movie 'Firelight' ...

Alaric had previously encountered Hattie on the set of 'The Chosen One’, and 'Firelight' marked their second joint

project.

Hattie and Evelina were very different kinds of women.

Alaric had once been badly hurt and had developed a fear of delicate women as a result. He was wary of getting

involved with someone like that again. During the filming of 'Firelight', there were several intimate kissing and

bedroom scenes between them.

Naturally, this led to sromance between them.

Alaric developed feelings for Hattie, and she did not reject him. They began seeing each other secretly and

started a covert relationship.

However, Evelina discovered what was happening.

She was filled with intense jealousy and resentment due to the success of 'Firelight' and Alaric's rising career.

The last tshe had a reason to visit the apartment, she cacross belongings left by Hattie.

This discovery was what triggered the whole incident.

When Carmel heard the full story, he insisted, "Should we address this with an official statement?"

After thinking it over, Alaric sighed and said, "Evelina has Hattie's belongings. | don't want to drag Hattie into

this."

Carmel was outraged. "What am | supposed to do now? Do you think she has feelings while you have principles?

Her stualready put out a clarification statement last night!"

Alaric replied, "From the start, she toldit was just a fling, and she's also a victim in this situation."

Carmel responded, "And what about you? Are you just a puppet now? Is it really worth jeopardising your career

for this?"

Alaric took a puff of his cigarette and sighed heavily.

"This is Evelina's revenge. She's really crazy...

"Sorry, Carmel, I'll handle this."

Three days later...

Alaric posted a message on his personal Facebook announcing his withdrawal from the entertainment industry.

He didn't give any details, only left a brief statement: 'Those who are innocent will stay innocent. Not arguing

doesn't mean | accept the accusations. | just don't want to harm anyone else. Apologies to my fans who

supported me, you don't have to wait for me.' With that, he left the entertainment industry.

Later, word spread from Carmel that he had moved back to Kairana to open a guesthouse and start his own

business.

His family had been in the guesthouse business.

So, he was continuing the family business.

Alaric's situation was fully resolved.

Even Hattie didn't anticipate him taking such responsibility.

Reflecting on it, she realised her judgment of men had always been accurate.

Zelena was also surprised by his cowardice.

He confessed immediately without any resistance!

Had he fought back, things might have been different, and Hattie would surely have been implicated.

She also had evidence that would haunt Hattie.

Now, with Alaric leaving the entertainment industry, her industry, her evidence

would hold even more signis videret wouldn't it? Content belong t

It seemed that now was not the right moment to reveal her evidence.

Zelena almost exposed it, but decided to hold back.

The final message Alaric posted on Facebook before leaving sparked speculation.

Many netizens believed he was just fighting a losing battle. They wondered why he didn't just cout and say

what he meant if there was something more to the story.

That way, they could enjoy the !

However, snetizens thought Alaric must have had a hidden motive but chose to endure it for sreason.

Alaric's fans were the most heartbroken.

With his complete quit, they knew they wouldn't see him in the domestic entertainment industry anymore.

You see, Alaric was the kind of talent

who could have carved out a prominent place in urban s, right up there with Nolan and Jacques.

Moreover, his appearance and physique are exceptional.

He can excel in both historical and contemporary outfits.

Leveraging her ex-boyfriend's fame, Evelina managed to force her way into Apex Entertainment.

Tracy remarked, "Evelina? Why does she deserve that?"

Apex's projects were originally divided between her and Violeta-now they've included Evelina as well?
