NovelOnlineKaren tried to comfort him, but at the stime, she found an opportunity to insert a casual suggestion. "First
and foremost, | believe we should ask Rita to chome. We need to know if she's been
assaulted. If so, we'll have to involve the police, don't you think?"
Vince appeared somewhat uneasy. "I can't bring myself to ask her that. | warned her long ago not to pursue a
career in journalism, but she chose to disregard my advice. Where did that bring her now? Having to answer to
people is bad enough. Now she got herself violated by someone."
The image of Rita being gripped tightly by a drunken assailant was heartbreaking for Vince.
"You're right." Vince snapped back resolutely to his senses. "I'll tell her to cback hand ask her about

Karen nodded. "You're right. That is the best course of action. I'm just worried Rita might be too stubborn to

the more distressed Camille was.
"If all else fails, I'll contact the newspaper tomorrow and demand a retraction. They're in the wrong for sullying
your reputation!" Camille suggested.
Rita smiled and felt touched by her
friend's concern. "The article has been published. A retraction won't undo the damage. Those who have read it
will remember. But you know what, Camille? | couldn't care less. You can never stop those rumors. The only way
to set the record straight is to do my job as a reporter and do it well. There weren't a lot of reporters present that
night, and | was the only one remaining when the incident happened. The only people who could've known about
this must've been someone I've met before."
Camille sighed. "You shouldn't have been exposed to so many soap operas as a child. Just look at your passion

Rita chuckled softly. "Wishluck, then! | have a lot on my plate lately, but let's grab a meal together when |
