BXBX NOVEL Chapter 902 - Maintaining Reputation
"Anna, come out!" Sabrina shouted as soon as she made it inside.
When she saw Sabrina enter her house, Anna immediately rushed to hide in the room.
Sabrina opened the door to the room so hard that it slammed Anna right on the face. She could only lean against the wall and waved her hand awkwardly, "Sabrina, you\'re back in Indonesia?"
"Do you know this person?" Arka took out his cellphone and looked for a photo of Anna\'s ex-lover.
Anna looked at the photo and said calmly, "Who is that? I don\'t know him."
Sabrina looked at Annya\'s face coldly and asked, "Have you ever made a video with him?"
Anna replied impatiently, "Sabrina, are you still my friend? I don\'t know that man. What video did I make with him? I don\'t understand what you\'re talking about."
Sabrina looked at Arka then the man answered coldly, "This man said he had a tape of him living with you. He wants to leak the video to the media. Do you have an explanation?"
"I ask you again, have you ever made a video with him?" Sabrina looked at Anna.
Anna looked panicked and said, "Do you think I\'m crazy? I would never make a video like that."
Sabrina knew the seriousness of this matter. Even though she felt so angry and wanted to kick Anna, she still said patiently, "The advertisement you starred in is very important to my family\'s company. I introduced you to my mother because I remember our relationship as friends. You better be honest with me. Did you ever make that video?"
"No, never. No matter how many times you ask, I never made such a video," Anna said while shaking with emotion.
Arka\'s sharp gaze was fixed on her. He could see the panic on Anna\'s face. Apparently, the news on the internet was indeed true.
"If the video didn\'t exist, everything would be fine. But if you mess up this ad because of the scandal and affect her family\'s company, I will never forgive you. Doesn\'t matter even if she\'s kind enough to pardon your mistake. You\'ll have more trouble dealing with her parents," Arka put pressure on Anna.
Anna looked at Sabrina in silence. Of course she knew very well that Sabrina\'s parents weren\'t random citizens. And she wouldn\'t be able to get away once she made trouble with such important people.
"If there is bad news about Mawardi Jewelry Company because of you, aside from having to pay a high fee for compensation, you will not be able to work in the entertainment world again later," Arka\'s face looked serious and scary.
Finally, Anna sat down on the floor while crying loudly.
Sabrina saw Anna and yelled in annoyance, "Why are you crying? Did you actually make that video? How could you get involved with such a man?"
Anna\'s manager then came over with a tissue. He said to Sabrina, "I know Anna\'s ex-boyfriend. He is an asshole who spent her money on an affair. Anna didn\'t know if the man had taken inappropriate photos while she was sleeping. After parting with him, Anna never saw him again. Now, no one knows where he is."
Anna wept and knelt under Sabrina\'s feet, hugging her legs and pleading. "Sabrina, I beg you. Help me. Only you can help me."
Sabrina really wanted to kick her. She really regretted why she didn\'t investigate Anna before making her the brand ambassador of her company.
"Anna, do you know how many artists have lost their careers because of this kind of scandal? Don\'t you understand it? Do you think hiding is the right way to solve all this? Why don\'t you want to find a solution? If I didn\'t come to your house today, would you want to destroy your own future and drag my family\'s company along with you?" Sabrina was really angry.
"Sabrina, I know I was wrong. You must have a way to help me, right? As long as you can help me through this problem, I will listen to everything you have to say," Anna said bitterly.
Sabrina closed her lips tightly as she didn\'t know what to do. Apparently, the only way to solve this problem is to use money.
"We will help you to get the tape, but the costs will be deducted from your advertising fee," Arka said seriously.
Anna panicked when she heard that she would not get paid for the advertisement she had starred in. "Sabrina, my mother is still waiting for money from me to pay off the debt. If she doesn\'t pay her debts, the debt collectors will kill her."
"You are too kind to your family for them to take advantage of you like this. Your family has been bankrupt for years, but your mother still can\'t accept reality. She still lives glamorously, wears the finest clothes and eats sumptuous food. She\'s been using you like a parasite in your life. Can\'t you refuse her?" Sabrina looked at Anna with hatred.
Anna knelt before her, weeping and saying, "For the last time she asked me to pay this debt. After this, I will end my relationship with her. I won\'t care about her debts even if she is my mother."
Sabrina felt a little sorry for her. Seeing Anna who kept crying while thinking about the woman\'s mother who was like a blood-sucking leech, she didn\'t have the heart to scold her further.
"Anna, I…"
"We are not responsible for paying your mother\'s debt nor are we responsible for dealing with this scandal. You have to solve the problems that you create yourself. If you agree to use your money as compensation to take care of the recording, I\'ll have someone handle it directly. Otherwise, I can delete all your ads in no time and replace the brand ambassador of Mawardi Jewelry Company," Arka interrupted what Sabrina was about to say.
Sabrina then looked at Arka. If Anna doesn\'t get the advertising money, what will happen to her mother? Her mother would definitely blame Anna and Anna would blame Sabrina.
"Sabrina, do you have the heart to see me like this? Don\'t you want to help me?" Seeing Arka being so stern, Anna turned her attention and asked Sabrina for help.
"I agree with Brother Arka. If you agree to our terms, you must give up the ad money and pay compensation. After that, my company will help you. If you don\'t agree, I will cancel the contract and you will also have to pay a penalty for breaking the contract," Sabrina said ruthlessly.
Anna turned to her manager who nodded.
"Alright, I won\'t accept advertising money. But you should take care of the tape. I\'m really sorry to have caused all this to your company. But Sabrina, I\'m a victim too. Please don\'t ask me to pay the compensation," Anna pleaded.
"Alright, no need to kneel. As a friend, I will not charge you a compensation fee. I just want to settle this matter peacefully. I just want your reputation and the reputation of my family company to be preserved. With that alone, I\'m quite satisfied," after saying that, Sabrina looked at Arka.
"Let\'s go." Arka nodded.
"Don\'t leave the house for a while. I\'ll call you if there\'s news. If you dare ignore my calls again, I\'ll let you sort things out alone," Sabrina said angrily.
"Thank you, Sabrina," Anna said gratefully.
Sabrina then left Anna\'s house under Arka\'s protection.
After entering the elevator, she couldn\'t help but ask. "Brother, you know Anna needs the money to pay off the debt. Why did you suggest cutting the costs from her advertising fee?"
Arka smiled slightly at the question. "Her mother was in debt because of gambling and that kind of debt is like a chasm that has no end. If you don\'t treat her like this, she will never dare to reject her family."
