suspicious actions.

bar.

to the world.
After that, Shayne kicks her out of the bar and warns her about respecting other people’s
privacy.

When another guard comes out for a smoke, Holly asks him if he can see her but he doesn’t
hear or look at her, same as a passing lady.

girl?”.

in the first round.
The two fighters become aggressive at the press.
To the last question, Shayne is asked if Julianna, his ex-girlfriend, is the “shadow girl”
but Shayne leaves no comment.
After the press, Holly again uses her ability to threaten Tommy.
She sends him a photo, revealing that his girlfriend is only 16.
To prove it, Holly even sends him his girlfriend's student ID.

A few days later, Holly spreads the rumors about Shayne matching with Jackson, an all
time winner, to the tabloids.
