FreeNovelTony was in a sheer panic. Without Chloe, he felt like he was invisible to Claire. She wouldn't even spare him a
glance. To make matters worse, apart from the few shares Claire had tossed his way, he'd sunk everything he
had into buying more shares of the station. It all seemed for nothing when even the station manager couldn't
sway Chloe's decision. Everyone watched helplessly as she packed her things and walked out of the television

Chloe's steps slowed as she took it all in, stopping in front of a single portrait. It was the only one in the entire
gallery. It was Ruby-her country's only journalist to win a Pulitzer Prize. Ruby's life was a testament to battling
darkness and injustice, from exposing the nation's largest child trafficking ring to uncovering underground
