Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 706

Winnie's ears burned red. She didn't need to listen to know what they were talking about.

Every major media outlet had already reported that Michael had been removed from the Morrison family, and that Oscar had severed the father–son relationship because Michael married without permission.

Logically, this kind of news could have been suppressed easily if Oscar had wanted to. The fact that it spread so widely made it obvious the coverage had his tacit approval. The media even put Winnie's identity under the spotlight.

They didn't publish her real name, but "the adopted daughter of a major toy manufacturer in Goldmont City" was practically the same as printing her ID card.

What was more, someone had taken photos of Michael holding hands with Winnie in a restaurant.

Her profile was captured clearly.

Some outlets, hungry for clicks, even dug up a pile of her so-called "black history" from who knows where—painting her as a notoriously spoiled socialite in business circles, rebellious since childhood, a wild girl the Olson family had never been able to control.

They even unearthed her past relationships and laid them bare. Public opinion swung overwhelmingly in Michael's favor.

A well-regarded young gentleman in the industry, they said, ruined by falling for a trashy woman. Completely mismatched.

Even netizens who usually preached freedom in love were leaving comments saying this time it truly was a case of incompatible backgrounds.

Because of that, most people felt Oscar's decision to cut ties with Michael was understandable.

If a daughter marrying the wrong man could drag a family down, wasn't it the same when a son married the wrong woman?

Michael had long expected public opinion to spiral like this. So he deleted everything from his personal account and left only one post: a photo of their marriage certificate with the caption: [I'm fine. She's even better. Don't judge without knowing the full story. Please stay rational.]

He pinned the post and closed the comments, using it as his response and his stance on the matter—openly standing by and defending his wife, Winnie.

After that, Michael deleted all the news apps from Winnie's phone. He ordered her not to read the comments and not to care about outside voices.

They still had a long road ahead.
