Meanwhile, Ivy arrived at the auditorium with Sal and Lola.
Outside the venue, dozens of media vans were already lined up, while reporters from various news agencies waited patiently inside.
Ever since the scandal broke, public curiosity had only continued to grow.
Instead of allowing speculation to spread further, Ivy had decided to face everything head-on.
Running away would only give others more opportunities to twist the truth.
Today, she intended to put an end to the rumors.
"Are you ready?" Sal asked quietly as they reached the entrance.
Ivy took a slow breath before nodding.
"I am."
Lola smiled reassuringly.
"I know this isn't how either of us wanted the truth to come out," she said. "But whatever happens in there, remember you're not facing it alone."
Ivy smiled faintly.
"Thank you."
The doors opened.
The moment Ivy entered the auditorium, every camera immediately turned toward her.
The room filled with the rapid clicking of camera shutters.
