Chapter 12: LinHo's Public Apology
Days later, the world watched as LinHo stood in front of a live press conference.
"I am deeply sorry for the events that unfolded because of one photo. A woman I met briefly was unfairly judged, harassed, and even lost her job."
The media buzzed with questions.
"She is a writer—an incredible one. I failed to protect her not as a fan, but as a person. From this day forward, I promise transparency, accountability, and respect. To Lili Marquez—wherever you are—I hope you know you matter."
Behind the scenes, Lili cried silently as she watched. Her heart cracked open again—but this time, it wasn't from pain. It was from healing.
