When Family Became a Place I Couldn’t Return To novel Chapter 316

In the video, the artist’s face was pixelated and her voice was altered. Tears streamed down her face as she described what had happened to her. She hadn’t even been in the industry that long when someone from Vincent’s team invited her to a hotel, claiming it was just for an audition. Once there, she was drugged and they took all kinds of photos of her.

Vincent was notorious for this kind of thing. He loved sleeping with women, had all kinds of twisted habits, and kept a stash of secret videos and pictures. His people scouted constantly, always searching for new faces—pretty girls who were just starting out, with no connections to protect them. If those girls didn’t play along, they’d threaten her with the photos and talk about ending her career. If she did what they wanted, she’d just become Vincent’s latest obsession, at least until he got bored.

The actress said Vincent’s girlfriend knew everything. She was rumored to have connections to some shady people, and she doted on Vincent. Sometimes she even helped him pick out new girls or clean up after his messes, so the victims had nowhere to turn.

When the video hit the internet, it exploded. The entire entertainment industry was in chaos. By evening, the story had taken on a life of its own. In just a few hours, more and more women came forward, sharing anonymous accounts that backed up the story. The investors and companies behind Vincent rushed to release statements, all trying to distance themselves from him. The police stepped in and announced an official investigation.

Vincent’s team responded with a quick, almost panicked statement, saying they’d fully cooperate and wouldn’t comment further until everything came to light.

At her office, Nelly had just finished a video call with their business partners and investors. Vincent’s scandal changed everything, and she knew she had to move fast. She stretched, slipped her organized folders into her bag, and headed straight for Nancy’s place.

Nancy was glued to her screen, scrolling through the endless stream of updates. Rudy had arrived not long ago and sat beside her. The way things had flipped was shocking. Rudy knew he hadn’t done this, so it had to be Nelly’s work.
