Chapter 1495 Extra Story 98 Of Mark Exposure (1/2)

They say after joy comes sorrow. And for Sally, the party was coming to an end too soon. Seven years ago, Sally had experienced that firsthand. And at present, again, everything was working smoothly for her. So much, she thought she could say goodbye to her painful past. But that was when the unexpected happened, catching her unprepared. Today, her new-found joy seemed to come to a sudden end, without warning like a flash flood that found a hiker, right in the middle of a valley with steep sides.

Battered out of her senses, she lowered her head and turned around. Fortunately, all the people at the mall had their eyes fixed on the big screen hanging on the wall. Nobody noticed the woman whose sinful life the media was digging into was right here in their midst.
