The Red String

Episode 5 Solved

The next day, while Ali was busy working in her room, she received an unexpected call. It was from one of her old staff members who had resigned suddenly before.

“Miss Ali… I finally have the courage to tell you everything. I saw who was behind all the sabotage of your designs, the leaking of your concepts and the false rumors spread against you…”

Ali’s hands started shaking as she listened. “Who is it? Please tell me.”

“It is Ms. Hera… She has been jealous of your talent and success ever since you started in the industry. She wants to destroy your reputation so she can take all the big projects and opportunities that are meant for you.”

Hearing this, Ali felt mixed emotions — anger, sadness, but also relief because finally, she knew the real enemy. However, she also felt scared, knowing that this person would definitely not stop and might do something even worse.

Not long after, Sean arrived at her room. The moment he entered, he immediately noticed her red eyes and the serious expression on her face. Without saying a word, he walked straight to her and gently held her hands.

“Ali… what happened? Did something go wrong again?” he asked softly, his voice full of concern.

Ali looked up at him, and this time, instead of hiding her feelings or forcing a smile, she let her true emotions show.

“But today… I finally found out the whole truth, and I finally have all the evidence I need. And I realized something… I want to solve this problem, but I want to do it with you. Will you help me? Will you walk this path with me until the end?”

Sean listened to every single word, and as he understood how much she had suffered all alone, his heart ached deeply for her. But at the same time, seeing that she finally chose to open up to him made him feel the warmest happiness.

He pulled her gently into his arms, holding her as securely.

(On the office)

After weeks of hard work and preparation, the day finally came.

All the evidence was presented clearly in front of the board of directors, the media and everyone in the industry.

Every lie was exposed one by one. It was proven beyond doubt that Ali was innocent, and that Hera had planned everything out of pure jealousy and greed.

Hera was immediately removed from her position, faced legal charges for fraud and forgery, and her reputation was completely destroyed — just like how she tried to destroy Ali’s.

All the false reports were taken back, and public apologies were issued officially. Ali’s name was cleared completely, and her talent and hard work were recognized even more than before.

Ding dong!

Hearing the doorbell ring, Ali hurried over and peeked through the gap. Standing at the doorstep were her father and sister! She quickly swung the door open and wrapped them both in warm, tight hugs her dad and sister.

Ali: “Dad! Elina! Oh my goodness, I missed you both so much!”

Dad: (chuckling softly as he pats her back) “We missed you too, sweetheart. It’s so good to finally see you.”

Elina: (grinning and squeezing her hand) “I’ve been wanting to visit you for ages! Look at you, you look great!”

Ali:(Dad pwede po help to prepare the food please Po.)

Dad:(oo namn anak.)

Ali and her dad prepared a delicious meal to served after that they watch

movie,Then they decided to head out. They drove to the mall, chatting and singing along to songs on the way.

As soon as they arrived, they wandered from store to store, helping each other pick out clothes, accessories, and little gifts. Every now and then, they would stop for snacks or ice cream, enjoying every moment together.

By the time they headed back, they were tired but happy. It was such a precious day, full of laughter and love—the perfect time for them to bond and make memories as a family.
