Chapter 98 Made the Headlines
Everything happened just as I had anticipated. Matthew’s scandal dominated the headlines of every major news outlet. I couldn’t help but admire the clever headlines the publishers created.
Sure enough, I couldn’t escape this disaster either. After all, I was also the main character on our wedding anniversary. Although I was the victim, the humiliation was unbearable
The online posts were full of images and truths. One showed us gracefully welcoming our guests in our finest attire, while the other exposed our vulnerabilities. The news had tarnished the Murphys‘ reputation.
Fortunately, I had moved to Amethyst Apartments. I knew the reporters were searching for me and
Matthew.
Matthew wanted to say something, but a phone call from his father interrupted him, asking him to return
home. Only Ivanna accompanied me when he left.
That night, I discovered Lauren was no pushover. After losing her reputation once before, she went all out
this time. Lauren vividly described Matthew and his sister’s sick affair. Each article she wrote amplified
the scandal, causing it to spread like wildfire across the internet.
The number of netizens who read her articles was astounding, and they craved more. One should never
underestimate the netizens‘ power. They even dug up information I never knew I wanted to know.
They claimed Matthew and Melanie had already slept together during her high school years, even specifying the time and place. Indeed, it was at Midnight Bar, so I could only believe it.
However, it was still a devastating blow to me. Melanie was in high school while Matthew and I were planning our futures in our senior year of college. Matthew had been “truly in love and devoted” to me then, but he had already been sleeping with Melanie.
