Beyond the Divorce

Chapter 98

Chapter 98 Made the Headlines Everything happened just as I had anticipated.

Matthew’s scandal dominated the headlines of every major news outlet.

I couldn’t help but admire the clever headlines the publishers created.

Sure enough, I couldn’t escape this disaster either.

After all, I was also the main character on our wedding anniversary.

The news had tarnished the Murphys‘ reputation.

Fortunately, I had moved to Amethyst Apartments.

I knew the reporters were searching for me and Matthew.

Matthew wanted to say something, but a phone call from his father interrupted him, asking him to returnhome.

Only Ivanna accompanied me when he left.

That night, I discovered Lauren was no pushover.

After losing her reputation once before, she went all out this time.

Lauren vividly described Matthew and his sister’s sick affair.

Each article she wrote amplified the scandal, causing it to spread like wildfire across the internet.

The number of netizens who read her articles was astounding, and they craved more.

One should never underestimate the netizens‘ power.

They even dug up information I never knew I wanted to know.

They claimed Matthew and Melanie had already slept together during her high school years, evenspecifying the time and place.

Indeed, it was at Midnight Bar, so I could only believe it.

However, it was still a devastating blow to me.

Melanie was in high school while Matthew and I were planning our futures in our senior year of college.

Matthew had been “truly in love and devoted” to me then, but he had already been sleeping withMelanie.

This realization crushed me.

I was determined to use our house as collateral for a loan then.

I was disgusted and shuddered whenever I thought about it.
