It was pin-drop silent as everybody reeled in shock.
“Be…” The Thompson brothers did not see thating.
Be, who once refused to talk about her marriage, admitted to the media that she and Justin were husband and wife.
She was brave and frank.
Her failed marriage had been a source of shame, a past she could never talk about.
Now, she was ready to let go of the past and move on.
Be and Justin simply met at the wrong time.

Be said, her eyes clear, “I believe you started a career in the media to seek the truth and answers to tragedies. It is the duty of the news media to hold those in power ountable and to give a voice to the voiceless.”
Touched by the powerful speech, nearly all the reporters put down their cameras.
It was true. These journalists had dreams of using this powerful tform to effect change.
However, the media in Savrow was controlled by a few powerful interests. The quality of journalism was on the decline as news outlets focused on celebrity gossip and trivia that attracted clicks and eyeballs.
