Chapter 8

Penulis: Yona Paddington
After that day, Benjamin finally stopped excessively drinking, and he used his connections to blacklist Jessica from the industry.

Jessica tried to reach out to Benjamin a few more times, even attempting to ask his friends for help, but Benjamin remained unmoved.

Jessica, feeling heartbroken, decided to go public and started a livestream to expose Benjamin.

"He's nothing but scum! He used his position to exploit female employees in the company.

"His whole 'devoted husband' act is just a facade—he cheated on his wife!

"He filmed videos to blackmail me, and I dared not disobey him. He's just a scumbag!"

That livestream trended on the Internet for quite some time, and there were numerous discussions about Benjamin.

Even though Lane Corporation issued a legal notice accusing Jessica of defamation, the netizens only believed what they wanted to believe.

Thus, even if Lane Corporation won the lawsuit, people would see it as nothing more than the powerful suppressing the weak.

  • The Wilted Blossoms of Love   Chapter 1

    After having been married for five years, Benjamin Lane had always maintained the image of a devoted husband. Nicknamed the "Prince of the Lanes", he followed a strict curfew and always returned home on time.Every day, he personally drove me to work, and on numerous festive holidays, he went to great lengths to prepare gifts for me. All his social media accounts were also filled with his daily acts of spoiling me—his wife.The netizens jokingly called him a hopeless romantic, and the fans who shipped us were utterly obsessed.But one day, when he was still logged in on his WhatsApp account on the tablet, a woman sent him a message with a video.In the video, the woman was cosplaying as a bunny police officer, and her gaze was suggestive. She was sitting in a kneeling position with her legs spread apart, and both her hands were unfastening the buttons of her shirt, revealing supple skin that seemed eager to break free."Bunny really misses Benny. I want Benny to do things to me!"

    After Benjamin switched the lights off, he carried me in his arms and rubbed his head gently against my neck. "Lena, are you feeling unwell? You seem a little out of it," he said with concern.I turned over, facing away from him. "Maybe I didn't sleep well."He chucked. "Alright then, I'll let you off tonight and just cuddle you."Before long, the sounds of Benjamin's breathing became steady, and he drifted into a deep slumber.Under the dim glow of the moonlight, I gazed intently at him until tears began to uncontrollably stream down my face.I could still remember the day he got down on one knee and proposed to me. He had told me, "Please give me a chance to be your knight. I will love you and protect you forever, until the very end of my life."At this moment, every beautiful memory felt like nothing more than a cruel joke.I tossed and turned, unable to get myself to fall asleep. Thus, I picked up the tablet and went to the living room.I tapped in and checked his other s

  • The Wilted Blossoms of Love   Chapter 3

    As I sat dejectedly on the couch, my mind kept replaying the things Benjamin said. Would he hug her? Would he kiss her?When I rushed to his company, the only person in the office was Benjamin's assistant, Anson Pierce. He didn't usually stay by Benjamin's side while he was going about his tasks.Anson greeted me warmly when he saw me. "Mrs. Lane, you can wait in the office first. Mr. Lane is in a meeting now. Would you like me to make you a cup of coffee?"I declined his offer and stepped into Benjamin's office.Benjamin had always known how to enjoy life, even as a boss. His office was a massive suite—the outer section was his workspace, and further inside, there was a private lounge and a game room.I walked straight into the game room, feeling restless and upset, so I decided to distract myself with a game."Don't look! I'm shy!"A burst of soft-sounding laughter came from somewhere else, and I instinctively yanked off my headphones."Alright, alright, you change—I won't

    After I left Benjamin's office, Anson glanced at me a few more times. He probably didn't understand why I wasn't leaving with Benjamin and the others.I ignored him and wandered home alone, lost in thought.My heart ached, and my mind kept replaying the image of Benjamin getting entangled with that woman.I knew who she was. She was the new secretary Benjamin's company had just hired. She was also the one who sent him the bunny officer video on the tablet.Her name was Jessica Cooper, a fresh university graduate—truly undeniably attractive and tempting.When she first joined the company, Benjamin had even joked that she reminded him of me when I was just starting out.I had her WhatsApp account, and I clicked on her status updates.The very first story was a selfie of her bunny officer costume, with a small mosaic carefully placed over her private parts. Her caption read, "Bunny officer has captured Mr. Benny's heart today."Benjamin's like on that story felt like a stab to m

    Benjamin dropped everything he was doing and rushed to the designer exchange conference overnight.The man who had always been steady and composed actually stumbled when getting out of the car. He anxiously searched through the crowd, even disregarding his image as he shouted loudly, "Selena! Selena! Come out!"Someone who recognized him stepped forward to support Benjamin, who had lost his wits. "Mr. Lane, Ms. Johnson did not attend the exchange conference.""She's here! She's just mad and hiding from me!" Benjamin insisted, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the person.The person who helped Benjamin was my acquaintance in the design industry, and he had naturally seen what I had posted on my social media after it became viral.He remained silent for a few seconds before bluntly stating, "You and Ms. Johnson were known as the model couple in the industry. With something like this happening, why would she possibly make a big scene by coming here?"I don't know if Ms. Johnson can bear t

    It was only when Anson knocked on the front door that Benjamin finally got up from the floor. He tugged at his wrinkled clothes before opening the door.Anson met his dark, stormy gaze and stammered as he handed over a file, "M-Mr. Lane, the project department has a contract that requires you to personally review and sign it."He didn't want to come looking for Benjamin at a time like this too, but it was work—he had no choice.Word had spread that Benjamin was furious over my departure, and Anson wasn't sure if he'd get caught in the crossfire.Benjamin did, in fact, want to lash out. He forcefully suppressed the raging storm in his chest, took the document, and casually tossed it aside.He then waved at Anson, signaling for him to leave.However, Anson did not move. He hesitated for a few seconds before finally pulling out a beautiful hair clip from his pocket and handing it over."Mr. Lane, Mrs. Lane left this in your office's game room two days ago."Benjamin froze for a mo

    Benjamin even went abroad to look for my mom. By then, I had already completely changed my identity and embraced a new life. I had even made plans to travel with new friends, so I wasn't around at all.He kneeled before my mom, begging her to tell him where I was.I had refused to go abroad with my mom at the time just so I could be with Benjamin, and I'd nearly fallen out with her because of it."You once swore you'd always be good to Selena—that you'd be her rock. How do you still have the nerve to face me and come looking for her?" Mom sneered.She then got someone to kick him out without hesitation.At first, Benjamin refused to leave, and he followed Mom around for days. For two whole weeks, she had him beaten up several times, but he only left when he finally realized I truly wasn't there.Mom asked me, "Are you really never going to forgive him? He still seems to love you."She knew how much I had once loved this man and was worried I might regret it."It's true that h
