Chapter 236: Chapter 236: Finally being able to face the past Chapter 236: Chapter 236: Finally being able to face the past “Miss Soudou, what are you doing?” The reporter was taken aback when his microphone was snatched away, but other reporters quickly seized the opportunity to ask questions, once again shifting the focus back to Soudou Nami.

Soudou glanced at Cherish Turner, and Cherish looked back at her. It quickly became clear to Cherish that Soudou was planning to expose herself.

Cherish felt somewhat sympathetic towards Soudou, knowing that if she indeed went through with this, her future in the manga world would be ruined. While such a person might not deserve sympathy, it was undeniable that Soudou had exceptional skills, and it would indeed be a pity for someone like her to disappear from the art world.

“Hello, everyone from the media. I have something to say about the plagiarism incident involving Miss Turner. That’s right; I did indeed frame her. The painting is not something I published earlier but was deliberately leaked to me by a student from the Elite Society, intending to humiliate Miss Turner. I couldn’t resist the temptation and greed and agreed to it. I was in the wrong, and I don’t expect Miss Turner to forgive me. However, before the second round of the competition, I didn’t have any good feelings towards her and thought she was nothing more than a woman climbing up through connections. But when the second round began, I realized that I had been wrong all along. Miss Turner is hardworking and genuinely talented. I believe that her success today is attributed to both of these qualities. Lamentably, the only way I can express my apologies is to expose the person who deceived me…”

“Don’t!” Cherish interrupted, not wanting Soudou to incriminate the person even though she knew who it was. She knew it was someone who had accompanied her to Japan. Once that person was named, their life would be ruined. Even though Cherish didn’t like her, she didn’t want her to be ruined because of this.

At least, she didn’t want to be the one pushing Yara King to the brink.

Afterward, it was her choice and fate, but for now, spare others when they can be spared.

Cherish glanced at William Griffith, who was sitting nearby. His eyes were indifferent as he looked at Cherish and shook his head.

William thought, he conveyed with his eyes that one should not forgive or indulge those who deserve exposure. Yara King would not be grateful for such kindness.

Cherish understood the rationality in this but still could not bring herself to do it

She bit her lip, resting her gaze on William, then shifted her gaze to Tanigawa Kenichi.

Tanigawa closed his eyes, sighed, and then suddenly chuckled.

Who could sway Cherish Turner’s thoughts? If anyone could, it would probably only be Cherish herself, right?

So, Cherish retracted her gaze and adamantly looked at Soudou.

And then, she told her not to continue.

“Miss Turner, why?” Soudou didn’t understand.

Cherish simply told her: spare others when they can be spared. Just like her treatment towards Soudou.

Finally, Soudou fell silent, seemingly grasping the Chinese value behind Cherish’s words.

Although she could not completely agree with it, at least she learned to understand it.

The plagiarism scandal involving Cherish eventually came to an end. She didn’t hold Soudou accountable, and her reputation was restored. She didn’t feel the need to despise Soudou to an extreme degree. After the competition, Soudou disappeared from the industry, leaving everyone’s sight as if she never existed.

–

Eventually, Cherish Turner’s time in Japan drew to a close, and her return home approached. Finally, she had the opportunity to explore her past and the people and things she did not know about.
