When it came to men being jerks, Cornelia thought of the recent uproar on the internet that had added quite a bit of fun to the Christmas season. "You've heard about the Redleys couple, haven't you?"
The Redleys couple, who had always made a fortune from their public image of marital bliss, had recently been exposed for cheating. And not just once, but in every city they went to, there seemed to be another affair.
Despite the man's reputation being in shambles, the wife still stood by him to make money, saying, "My husband just made a mistake that almost all men would make. He has realized his mistake and has returned to the family. My family and my marriage is the most important thing for me. Please give us some time, and we will reappear in front of everyone with the best relationship."
The way she put it, it was as if the public was trying to tear their family apart.
Perhaps their PR team was trying to ruin them, because their statement only fuelled the controversy, pushing the couple into the eye of the storm.
Hannah said, "Everyone knows about the scandal now. Cheating, sneaking around with other women, it's disgusting... If it were me, there's no way I could forgive that."d2
Cornelia added, "It’s a matter of principle, so absolutely unforgivable... President Dixon doesn't have this problem, does he?"
Hannah replied, "He says there's only me, but who knows?"
Cornelia suggested, "There's a way to find out the truth."
Hannah asked, "What's that?"
Cornelia whispered something into Hannah's ear, causing Hannah's face to turn red. "Nelly, how do you know so much?"
Cornelia replied, "You have to know these stuff. Although I believe Jeremy wouldn't fool around, it doesn't hurt to be aware, right?"
Hannah thought carefully and said, "Going by your theory, there’s nothing fishy about Steven coming to see me this time. You wouldn't believe how desperate he was. Like he wanted to devour me..."
Cornelia understood what Hannah meant. Her husband Jeremy may seem gentlemanly, but in bed, he was passionate and attentive.
