In the days that followed, Frederick and Giselle no longer disturbed me.
At the same time, I declined Azrael’s suggestion to accompany me on a trip. I set off alone once again, driving toward Tibet. By myself, I enjoyed the scenery along the way.
At every stop, I shared moments from my journey on social media–posting photos and updates, even doing live streams.} However, after Giselle’s false rumors twisted everything online, as soon as I started streaming, hordes of trolls flooded the chat. My follower count skyrocketed, but the comments were filled with insults aimed at me.}
[How shameless to even have the nerve to livestream.]}
[Yeah, Frederick is such a handsome, wealthy bachelor, yet this woman still managed to cheat on him for money! She sold years of love for cash!]
[We’re too sentimental to become rich wives. You have to let go sometimes. Who knows? She might’ve cheated more than once!]>
Reading the hateful comments, my initially good mood was completely shattered.}
I ignored the nasty remarks, focusing on sharing my thoughts and feelings about Tibet.
Still, the trolls wouldn’t let up.”
Then, unexpectedly, a comment appeared defending me.”
[All those online accusations are lies. The blogger isn’t like that. Actually, the one who cheated isn’t her.]}
But that comment was quickly drowned out by waves of rebuttals.}
I thought whoever was defending me would give up, but to my surprise, they requested a voice chat with me.”
Curious and hesitant, I accepted.
A familiar voice entered my livestream.}
Frederick must have been watching for some time too, seeing those hateful comments, which explained his cold and slightly angry tone.} “I’m Frederick, Gracie’s fiancé. The cheating isn’t on her part. The rumors online are false. The real cheater is me. If you want to blame someone, blame me. I’ll stay in this livestream until Gracie logs off. Come at me.“>
The viewers didn’t believe the man on the mic was really Frederick.}
Skeptics flooded the chat.
[I bet this is some hired actor Gracie got to whitewash her image. Don’t fall for it!]
The comment caused a storm of suspicion. Some even speculated that Frederick might be one of my secret lovers impersonating him.
I couldn’t help but laugh bitterly at such absurd accusations.
Frederick probably didn’t expect this reaction either and was at a loss for words.}
He quickly spoke again, urgently.”
“Stop guessing wildly. I really am Frederick. I messed up–I cheated on my wife with Giselle. If you don’t believe me, I’ll expose my affair audio and other evidence in an hour.”
Hearing this, I finally couldn’t hold back.”
“Frederick, stop this madness. Don’t you think things are already bad enough? Don’t make it worse!“}
But today, Frederick stubbornly ignored my warning.”
His voice was hoarse as he replied, “It’s all my fault. I can’t stand seeing you get insulted like this. If anyone deserves the blame, it’s me.“} Speechless, I shut down the livestream immediately.”
I had hoped this storm would blow over soon and things would quiet down.”
But to my shock, Frederick went crazy, openly posting proof of his affair.
He uploaded flirtatious messages between him and Giselle, recorded audio, and even censored video clips online.
Suddenly, the CEO’s scandal hit trending topics, and the internet nearly crashed.}
Not long after, Frederick also leaked videos showing Giselle harming me.
Both of them trended online.
The public opinion flipped instantly–suddenly I was seen as the most innocent of the three.}}
Netizens quickly transformed into defenders of justice, flooding comments and private messages with sympathy.”
My followers surged by millions overnight.”
Brands even approached me for endorsements and collaborations.
After spending these days enjoying Tibet, I planned to return home, but today, I found myself stuck in my hotel room, unwilling to go out.
I postponed my flight to the next day, worried about being recognized.
Just then, Frederick called.
His voice was tired. “Gracie, I’m sorry. Have I caused you trouble again?”
“What do you think?” I snapped irritably.
Frederick was silent for a few seconds, then pulled Giselle over.!!

.
“What do you think?” I snapped irritably.
Frederick was silent for a few seconds, then pulled Giselle over.
“Apologize to Gracie.“>
On the other end, Giselle’s voice was strange–intermittently crying out in pain.§
“Frederick, why should I apologize? She deserves everything that’s happening. You know I did all this for you, and I’m carrying your child!” Then Giselle broke down, crying loudly and cursing me.§
“You’re such a bitch! If it weren’t for you haunting us, Frederick and I would already be married. You were about to divorce, so why did you have to ruin my relationship with him?”
