Chapter 373 - A Simple Life? (1/2)
The raid in Mongolia was huge news for Interpol. Because it was such a big case with so many people involved and so much evidence, a special team was formed to specifically handle it. Every single person in the base was questioned, every single piece of equipment was checked, and every single lab note was studied.
It took a long time to go through everything, but eventually, after 4 months, Boginya was officially sentenced to life in prison without parole. Interpol tried all different methods to convince her into revealing more about The Organization, especially the names of her co-founders and other members. They even offered a reduced sentence, but of course, Boginya did not reveal a thing.
However, her capture spurred Interpol to place a higher priority on The Organization, and teams were quickly formed all around the world to take them down.
Meanwhile, after the initial assistance she provided, Halia did as promised and tried not to get involved with crime-fighting again. Instead, she focused on running her father's business and became especially involved in organizing their new advertising campaign.
Halia had a good eye for people. She spotted Avaleigh just before she made a comeback and immediately contacted Emerson. As they were family, Emerson naturally trusted Halia and signed Avaleigh as their new spokesperson straight away.
The day that their first commercial was broadcasted on television, it coincided with the first episode of Avaleigh's variety show. As they had hoped, the variety show was a huge success and Avaleigh was a hit.
She was easygoing, smart, friendly, and kind, and the nation immediately fell in love with her. The show naturally signed her on for another 50 episodes and her popularity quickly skyrocketed again.
At first, everyone was confused that she was endorsing an alcoholic product. It seemed to contradict her healthy lifestyle and image. But, a certain live stream that she did with Cleo one day clarified everything and changed everyone's views.
That day was the day that she officially renewed her contract with the show. ”Hi everyone, I want to share some good news with all of you! I have just been signed on for another 50 episodes!”
Hearts filled Avaleigh's phone screen as people started to click into her live stream.
”Ava, we love you! We're so happy that we get to see you on television now!”
”Ava, you were so adorable in the latest episode.”
Avaleigh smiled as she saw the messages and likes.
”I'm here with my dietitian friend, Cleo. We are about to celebrate with a healthy dinner. But first, I want to raise a toast to all my supporters and thank each and every one of you for sticking by me and making all this possible,” Avaleigh lifted a shot glass of clear liquid.
”What are you drinking, Ava?”
”Is that alcohol?”
Avaleigh looked at the questions and nodded her head. ”This is the baijiu from Fengtai that I am currently endorsing.”
”Isn't alcohol bad for you?”
