Upon hearing this, a few journalists with sensitive reactions couldn't help but burst into laughter. As for me, I was stunned like a chicken, petrified on the spot. Jared's face turned uglier than ever.This meant that Kent not only publicly admitted that he slept with his wife, making him a cuckold, but now he also wanted to play innocent after taking advantage.He was asking Jared to help him investigate this matter.It sounded crazy, and honestly, I have never seen such a shameless person.Jared kept his face and said nothing, which led Kent to provoke further:"So, does Mr. Long not want to help out in this case? Is it because of fear or lack of confidence?""Or, could it be that you know the person who did it? Too familiar to take action?""Could it be... that person is you?"After a standoff of glances, Jared finally reacted, rolling up his sleeves and replying:"Mr. Miller, you're overthinking. This case involves the reputation of my wife. Of course, I will see it through. The

My words were fatally wounding. I could hear the sound of something fragile being shattered on the other end of the phone. Leila roared at me:"Bitch, you worn-out shoe, picked up by someone, how could Kent possibly like you! You must have used some despicable methods to seduce him!" She yelled at me. "So what if I did? As long as he likes me, isn't that all that matters, unlike someone that I know?""Don’t celebrate too early! Just wait; I will make you pay!" she warned. "Bring it on; I look forward to it."I hung up the phone before she did, my mood plunging deeper:Kent was right; the video was leaked by Leila, not Jared.But for me, there's no difference anymore. They are both bad fruits that sprung from the same tree“I’m sorry for dragging you into this.” I apologized. “What do you mean dragging me into this?”"Bringing you along with me... You lost face..."My voice was low; regardless of how much I tried to control it, the sorrowful emotions still leaked out.He just laugh

After he hung up the phone, Kent didn't continue to dwell on my apartment-hunting problem. He raised an eyebrow and said. "Do as you wish. Once you find a place, let me know."Then he walked away.Perhaps to him, it didn't matter where I lived, considering he could find me wherever, whenever he wanted.I shook my head; the current situation was a bit complicated, with matters yet to be settled. I didn't have time to clarify our relationship.I decided to find a place to live first.This neighborhood was filled with high-rise buildings, mainly housing white-collar workers, so there were plenty of apartments for rent.By the afternoon, I had found one—a two-bedroom apartment, free of clutter with reasonable cleanliness, for a monthly rent of 500 dollars, which was within my affordability.I promptly signed the rental agreement. When I was about to call Emilia to tell her about it, she beat me to it:"Sammy, something happened!""What's up?""I just saw the news; Jewel Group's shares ha

This time, Ben capriciously slept with Emilia in such a wanton and ruthless manner. It felt like he was just preying on her. Being a fickle, rich, second-generation guy, there was always a gaggle of girls surrounding him each time I met him.It was apparent that he was only toying with her and could never truly love Emilia.Although she did not say anything, I knew this incident would undoubtedly be a tremendous blow to her. But I have no idea how to tell her. Emilia let out a helpless sigh. “Sam, it's been five years since I met that bastard. I have been faithful to him even while he was flirting with his workers. But I'm tired, Sam. I can't keep making excuses for him. Let's just consider this a one-night stand; it's not a big deal.”The more Emilia said this, the sadder I felt. I turned and held her tightly in my arms, feeling the sting of tears starting to fall.Given the fact that she had already suffered so much on my behalf, how could I embarrass her again by re-exposing her
