During her stroll, Josephine's phone rang. It was Mason.
"Ms. Dunn! Your identity has been exposed! The media is going crazy over it," Mason informed.
Josephine's heart sank. Yet, at the same time, she felt an unexpected sense of relief.
For weeks, she had been on edge. She dreaded the moment everything would come to light. But now that it had, she felt an odd sense of relief.
After all, she had done nothing wrong. There was nothing to fear.
As long as she faced it head-on, no amount of public scrutiny could shake her.
She took a deep breath and said, "Start the contingency plan."
"Yes, Ms. Dunn," Mason replied.
The so-called contingency plan was a carefully devised marketing strategy they had prepared in advance.
The plan was simple. The moment her identity became public, they wouldn't just confirm the rumors. Instead, they would use the publicity to officially announce her new film.
Some people would accuse her of using the scandal to generate attention. But the truth was, the exposure would indeed serve as free promotion.
Besides, the controversy would fade with time.
This was just another commonly used strategy in the entertainment industry.
Not long after, Director Jo's official account released a lengthy statement.
"Hello everyone. I am Director Jo. As you've all seen, I am also Josephine Dunn, Zayn Forbes' ex-wife.
"I never expected to introduce myself this way, and I apologize for it. For the past three years, I've lived as a housewife and lost my identity as a director. When I finally decided to return to the industry, I found myself in the middle of a divorce. The situation made it difficult for me to step forward.
"So, I chose to keep my identity hidden until I had settled my separation from Zayn. But the truth was, my passion for directing was reignited the moment I decided to walk away. For over two months, my team and I have been preparing for my next film. Everything is ready. We're just waiting for the right moment to start filming.
