Austin stiffened. He was stunned to hear Cecily's voice.His head snapped in the direction of the voice only to see a tired Cecily standing at the top of the stairs. His heart ached for her. Three days had passed since the scandal started. He couldn't sleep, but neither could she. He wasn't the person who had it the worst—it was Cecily. The harm it did her was double what he had to endure. "It's fine, Cecily. I can handle it," Austin told her, his voice strained from the remorse within him. "I'll give you an explanation later on." "I don't need one." Cecily's anguished gaze had a sliver of lonesome in them as she made her way downstairs. "You're my husband. I should always have your back." Austin's eyes stung as he watched her slim and solemn figure walk down the stairs. How much pain had she swallowed and suppressed before she mustered enough courage to say those words? Slap! Austin hit himself across the face. It happened so suddenly. Ezra's grim expression shifted

The video call with Vincent and Jennie lasted for quite some time. With Jennie's help—and thanks to professionalism and experience in the entertainment industry, they managed to form an outline of a plan. Vincent, who'd always been an uncanny person, contributed greatly to the plan too. Austin believed that they'd finally see some progress after being shrouded in the shadows of public outrage for so long. "Fiona, ruining my reputation was fine, but you tried to ruin my marriage," Austin seethed, his eyes sharp and his voice dangerously low as he muttered to himself. "You hurt Cecily. I'll make sure you pay for it!" Just then, he heard Ezra call out from behind him. "Austin!" Austin turned around to see Ezra staring intently at the phone in his hands, his face flushed, and his eyes wide with shock. "Log in to Twitter and see for yourself!" It was not every day you get to see Ezra in such a disquieted state. He added, "Mrs. Campbell tried her best to help you!" His words se

Austin didn't even explain himself to Cecily, yet she chose to believe him wholeheartedly. By standing up for him, she risked being insulted and cursed by everyone. Her actions warmed his heart. Not only was he touched, but he was also immensely remorseful toward her. A shadow crept across his face, and his resolve hardened. No one could compare to Cecily for what she'd done for him. The thought resonated deep in his heart. "You silly man! Go do what you have to!" Cecily told him in her soft voice as she put on a smile. After leaving Cecily's room, Austin couldn't stop scrolling on Twitter. Anger rose within him like flames that roared in intensity as time passed. It was as he had expected. Cecily's post took the top spot in the search list and had taken the attention of all on the Internet. The contemptuous comments and snide remarks came non-stop, like the rain in a never-ending storm. The few netizens who voiced out about how touching Cecily's post was were drowned o

"Prestige and fame is nothing compared to toppling the head of the Campbell family!" Fiona hissed. "It's been three days… You must be pulling your hair out to find a way to settle this, aren't you, Austin? The power of the public will drag you into the depths of hell!" Although she didn't leave the hotel at all, Fiona always kept herself updated about the scandal. To be honest, the only form of entertainment she had for the past three days was watching things worsen. The situation was so terrible that no one could ever have the power to stop it now. Out of habit, Fiona tapped Twitter open on her phone. Noticing that the trending topic had changed, her eyes widened in silent fury as a shadow swept across her eyes. "Dammit! Cecily must be crazy! What the heck was she thinking?" she seethed. "Austin cheated on her! Why did she still have his back?" Fiona tapped the title, and the longer she scrolled, the angrier she became. A chilling coldness emanated from her, and a corner of

It was driving Fiona up the wall. The hottest topic in town right now was clearly a deliberate attempt to slander and frame her. She'd never done anything that was written in any of the articles. She would never stoop so low as to do anything as foul as that. The news appeared at such a crucial moment. She couldn't think of anyone else who would do this except for Austin. The last ounce of rationality in her told her that she'd ruin her career for good if she allowed this news to brew and spread. She might not be able to get up again in the future. Austin, on the other hand, could profit from this. At this point, Austin was the worst of the worst in the eyes of the public.

"Hello?" The employee repeated the word several times to get Fiona's attention but to no avail. She simply ignored him. After a moment's silence, Fiona's facial features contorted in fury and disdain. No one would believe that a pretty face like hers could turn so sour and ugly. "Fuck off, you useless piece of shit!

Walter's voice was firm when he spoke. His every sentence showed his unwavering resolve and coldness. "Thanks, Dad!" Austin exclaimed earnestly. The reputation of a rich and affluent family always came first. At times, it was more important than a person's life. It was the case for the Emerson family in the capital and the Redmont family Basin. They took people's lives lightly and would dispose of anyone for the sake of honor and reputation. As the head of the Campbell family, Walter was willing to put the family's reputation aside for Austin. It said enough about how different Walter was compared to the heads of the other families out there. Now that Austin had Walter's assurance, he had more freedom in planning his next step. After hanging up, Austin immediately called Vincent. With a sardonic bark of laughter, Austin said, "It's time to carry out Operation B." "Gosh! You succeeded?" Vincent exclaimed with glee.
