Chapter 1227:
The moment he began, Hadley guessed what he was going to say. Her lips curled into a lopsided smile. “It's bad,
isn't it?”
She hadn’t experienced something like this firsthand, but she had seen scandals spiral out of control before.
In recent years, how many celebrities had seen their careers crumble overnight because of scandals?
Once a scandal hit the spotlight, public opinion spread like wildfire, and damage control becnearly
impossible.
Hadley placed her hands on her knees, gripping tightly until her knuckles turned white.
“Yes, it is bad,” Eric said with a solemn nod. He couldn’t deny the severity of the situation. But he hadn't come
empty-handed.
He spoke carefully, each word measured. “I have a plan... If you are willing, maybe | can turn things around.”
Hadley blinked, caught off guard. He had a plan?
“What kind of plan?” she asked.

and firmly say the photos were photoshopped.”
“What?” Hadley’s brows shot up in disbelief.
Photoshopped? Could that even work?
“But won't people be able to tell?”
Eric replied calmly, “The images are blurry. Most people can’t tell. I'll have posts made to redirect public opinion.
Trust me. It’s not a big problem.”
“Is it that simple?” Hadley frowned, skepticism creeping into her voice. It sounded too good to be true.
“Of course there's more.” Eric leaned forward, his hands clasped in front of him, tension written all over his face.
“We might need to put our relationship in the spotlight again.”
“What?” Hadley stared at him as if he'd grown another head. Had she heard him right? “Please don’t joke...”
“I'm serious.”
Eric had thought it through. At present, this was the simplest, most straightforward, and most effective solution.
“Back then, | was pursuing you... | went to Galant frequently because of you. These aren't fabrications. They can
be verified. Moreover, we went public before.”
His chest tightened as he continued, “My status alone can sway public opinion. No one would believe that, while
dating me, you were involved with someone else.”
On appearance alone, Eric had the upper hand. He was young, tall, and strikingly handsome, especially
compared to Duran’s middle-aged, overweight figure captured in those photos.
