Chapter 290

Chapter 290:
“Verena, I’ve just seen your post. Why didn’t you tell me this sooner?” Ortega asked in a warm tone.
Verena’s voice was tinged with a hint of resignation as she replied, “When you called before, you immediately told me I was barred from the Owathe concert.”
“I didn’t even get the chance to explain everything to you.”
Due to those two photos, the orchestra had pulled her from the Owathe concert, citing negative publicity as the reason, and assigned her understudy to take her place.
When Verena had first received the news, she had been in complete panic.
The individual who sought to replace Verena had been plotting for her position for quite some time, often engaging in deceitful maneuvers behind the scenes. However, Verena consistently hindered these attempts. Should her rival prevail this time, it would undoubtedly damage Verena’s future in the orchestra.
Despite her best efforts to sway the orchestra’s decision, Verena had found no success. It was at this juncture that she realized the necessity of addressing the core issue. Thankfully, she had resolved it by now.
Upon listening to Verena’s explanation, Manager Ortega’s response came off as slightly uneasy. “Uh… Well, it’s great that we’ve cleared up this misunderstanding! I was certain you didn’t do it before! Knowing you, Verena, I couldn’t believe you would engage in such behavior. It’s a relief to discover it was all a misunderstanding. I need to take care of a few matters here, so I’m going to hang up now.”
“Alright, Manager Ortega. I’ll see you at the orchestra.” With these words, Verena ended the conversation.
Ryan inquired, “Has the issue with the orchestra been resolved?”
“Yes.” Verena nodded, expressing her gratitude. “Ryan, it was your prompt action that led us to this resolution. Without it, I would have been at a loss for what to do.”

Ryan modestly shook his head. “To be honest, part of this is on me. Had I not secretly taken those photos and sent them to Belinda, none of this would have happened.” As he voiced this, guilt washed over him.
Verena swiftly reassured him, saying, “Don’t think that way, Ryan. Your intentions were good.”
“And because of my situation, you ended up in hot water with your father and even lost out on a project. If anyone should be apologizing, it’s me.”
Ryan fell silent. The thought of losing the East District project still pained him deeply.
After some time, he said to Verena in a composed manner, “Verena, for the time being, you should really keep your distance from Lucas.”
When Verena heard Ryan’s words, her features subtly changed as she grasped his concern about further agitating Lucas and Matias. She decided it was prudent to steer clear of any additional conflicts for the moment.
“Okay, I understand,” Verena replied, nodding in agreement.
Ryan offered words of comfort, saying, “Belinda and Lucas are going to get a divorce soon. Once Lucas is no longer married, nobody can criticize your actions to get close to him.”
Verena mustered a smile, though it lacked genuine warmth. She just couldn’t help but wonder—could Lucas and Belinda actually go through with their divorce this time? The answer to that question was still uncertain.
It seemed to everyone that, with the situation as it was, the chapter was likely closed. However, the unexpected announcement from the Triumph Consortium took everyone by surprise.
