After hearing what his mother had said, Desmond was at a loss. Proving her innocence was one thing, but changing public opinion was a different story altogether. It was only possible if Zaria admitted that what she wrote in the articles was a lie.
However, doing that would make F&P Media sink to the bottom of the sea just as it was starting to rise back from its ashes. Zaria had worked so hard to revive it… She had even gone so far as to stalk and seduce him, then sign a ten-year employment contract for the sake of the agency. Wouldn't all her effort go to waste?
Besides, if he made her do such a thing, she would be so sad. He loved her cheerful smile so much that it would kill him if that smile were to fade. If it was possible, he didn't want to ever see the sadness he had seen in her eyes a few days ago.
After thinking for a while, he still didn't know what to do, so he went to look for Samantha as soon as he left the detention center.
