"You're leaving again?" asked Jake when he saw Delia all dressed up, even though it was still very early. Delia had even skipped her breakfast in order to get to Jared's house.

"I'm very busy, Jake. You can take care of all your own work, right?"

"You're going to see Uncle Jared?"

Delia turned around and looked at her only son and nodded.

"I just want to make sure that your uncle divorced that son of a bitch. He ruined the good name of Madison and the Corner Family with his sleazy behavior. No matter what, I won't accept it."

"The news is not yet clear, Ma."

"Oh, what are you saying, Jake? You're defending that women of a bitch in front of your mom?"

    "Do you know if Donny and Caroline's photos have been shared on social media before?"Jared showed a confused face because he really didn't know when and where their photos were spread. He trusted Donny so much; he really didn't expect him to stab him in the back like this."What picture?" asked Jared."When Uncle went out of town, photos of Donny hugging Caroline were all over social media platforms. I don't know if they were actually making out while Uncle was away, but I overheard Mom's conversation with someone. She took the photo and asked someone to write an article about them. By the next morning, the photo had really spread, and many articles were written about Caroline's betrayal.""You still have the photo?"Jake shook his head. "Within fifteen minutes, all traces of the photos and articles were deleted. It seems Donny intervened immediately and deleted the news before it spread further.
