The phone kept ringing.
“Mr. Wilson, may I ask…” a reporter’s voice came through the phone.
Trevor sat in the back of the car. His phone hadn’t stopped ringing since he received the award. Outside, the reporters were like a pack of wild dogs. If the award ceremony organizers hadn’t anticipated the chaos and dispatched extra bodyguards in advance, he might not have made it out.
His agent, Skyler, was drenched in sweat. Sophia had disappeared right after she stepped off the stage. He didn’t even get the chance to talk things through. “The online sentiment isn’t good for you right now.”
Not to mention the whole pregnancy thing with Sophia, Trevor’s past with Milena was being dragged up too. Some bloggers were speculating that Trevor and Milena had most likely dated. Then, he’d dumped her, which explained that viral video.
After all that analysis, Trevor was basically getting nailed to the scumbag cross. That alone wouldn’t have been too bad. Most of his fans were loyal to his acting skills or were rational supporters. A normal relationship scandal might cost him a few followers and some public favor, but that was all. He never banked on a “pure” image anyway.
But the real issue was Sophia’s pregnancy.
Trevor had to give an explanation. Otherwise, this wouldn’t just be about whether he was a jerk or not.
“If the online sentiment’s so bad, why haven’t you handled PR? What am I even paying you for if I have to clean up every mess myself?” Trevor snapped. He had never imagined Sophia would actually be pregnant.
He said, “Make her get rid of it. Whatever it costs.”
Skyler went silent. If this had happened privately, it might’ve been handled quietly. But now, with all eyes on Sophia, the moment he contacted her to suggest an abortion, she could post the messages online the next second.
“Money can’t fix this anymore.” Skyler sighed. “The best option now is to negotiate with Sophia. Take responsibility as the father. Ideally, marry her.”
“No way!” Trevor shot back without even thinking.
Sophia was just a nobody from a normal background. He’d given her a shot, and that was how she climbed up to the B–list. However, he would never marry her.
Trevor sneered with disgust. ‘Did she think just anyone could enter the Wilson family?‘
Trevor’s face twisted in disgust. He would only marry someone from a proper, powerful family. These women from the entertainment industry were just playthings. However, Sophia seriously thought she was something special.
Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Trevor rubbed his temples. It was obvious. Sophia was aiming to become his wife, hoping to use the baby as her ticket to the top.
And unfortunately, the child probably was his.
“Get in touch with Sophia and negotiate with her. Keep her under control. Don’t let her stir up any more trouble,” Trevor said, his tone cold and decisive.
He added, “Also, investigate who she’s been in contact with. There’s no way she pulled this off on her own. No way she just appeared on stage with a paternity test on the big screen without help.”
And beyond that, he needed a PR plan to salvage his reputation.
After thinking it over, Trevor said, “I want Milena to issue a statement saying we were never in a relationship, that she was just stalking me. Have the studio only acknowledge that I dated Sophia. I have chat logs from the breakup. Leak them.”
He knew he was a player, so after every breakup, he always kept some evidence that could protect him, just in case any of these women tried to bite back or stir up trouble for him.
Skyler nodded quickly. “I already told the PR team. I don’t think we should try to suppress the trending topics. We probably couldn’t anyway. Better not to look guilty.”

Trevor nodded, telling him to go ahead. But the mess was far from over.
Trevor lowered his gaze to the phone in his hand. He could ignore the calls, but when it came to the Wilson family group chat, he had no choice but to reply.
