Chapter: 518
“Shit! ‘Someone has figured out that the woman in the picture is you!
Claudia, who had already been feeling down, exclaimed, "Destroy this world! I'm exhausted!"
Before the dust had even settled on the allegations of Bennett's ‘infidelity,’ Claudia found herself ‘forced’ into the role of Mathews’ secret girlfriend.
Mathews' fans, who had been singing her praises only hours earlier, now turned on her.
“Damn it! How could you, a married woman, act this way? Shouldn't you maintain some distance from other men after getting married?"
“Unbelievable! She sure knows how to play with men! Late night rendezvous with Mathews? Wow, what a move!"
“Here's a juicy tidbit: it's said that Mathews spent three million to invite Claudia to be the special guest of the concert and the company only reimbursed one million. Mathews covered the remaining two million! These two must be having an affair."
Mathews' popularity was on the rise, and Claudia was still ensnared in the scandal surrounding Bennett's infidelity. Their names were on everyone's Lips. The revelation that the two had been spotted at a bar together set the Internet ablaze, and within just half an hour, “Mathews the home-wrecker?' became the hottest topic online.
Witnessing the furious discussion, Claudia felt helpless. She was completely shocked. Mathews was simply kind enough to offer her a free ride home that night. How did it turn into her having an affair with him?
Aurora was beside herself with anger, "This is absurd! Someone is clearly trying to tarnish your reputation. It's so blatant! They're making it seem like they're targeting Mathews, but in reality, it's an attack on you!”
In all honesty, Claudia was unable to make sense of it. "Why do you think that's the case?"
Aurora explained, “Look at the topics about you and the ones about Mathews! If I hadn't been there that day, neither you nor Mathews would have been able to clear things up! This claim that you and Bennett both have an affair makes it clear that someone is targeting you. They want Mathews’ fans to turn against you.
Mark my words, soon someone will post the so-called real inside story of your marriage with Bennett."
Claudia was not well-versed in the workings of the entertainment circle.
At first, she felt wronged, believing she had been slandered without cause. But as she listened to Aurora, she began to understand the situation better.
Aurora proved to be quite adept at following these events. Soon enough, a post titled “Couples in Rich Families Have Their Own Fun" started circulating widely.
The author of the post claimed to be on the fringes of wealthy society, privy to insider information. According to the post, a currently well-known Loving couple's public displays of affection were a sham, masking a marriage of convenience. They pretended to be in love for the public eye but both kept secret lovers.
Though the post did not really mention any names, the current hot topic on social media was the alleged affair between Claudia and Mathews, so many readers made the connection.
“I've learned so much from this. It seems I was too naive! I believed in the true love of the wealthy, as if a novel had come to life! I didn't expect it all to be an act. I feel like the only foolish onlooker who took it seriously!"
“Oh my God! Is it really this scandalous? It looks like Mr. and Mrs. Dreskin married for a purpose. They have no feelings for each other!"
“I adore them so much. I thought they had got married, so their love must be real! I never expected the truth of their relationship to be exposed so quickly. I'm shocked! I don't know whom to scold at the moment! I don't know what to say...
It seems I'm the only one who was wrong for taking it for real!”
The information regarding the marriage between Claudia and Bennett was gaining traction on social media, trailing closely behind the controversial topic involving Mathews.
Claudia found herself bewildered by the situation. Since the rumors concerned both Bennett and Mathews, she felt she couldn't comment carelessly.
