Chapter 312
How could she be someone’s mistress? Has she no shame!”
“No wonder she’s always so arrogant and passive–aggressive. So she’s the other woman!
If she tries to argue with me next time we meet, I’ll smack her!
Shameless bitch!”
She threw her phone, unable to look at it anymore. She suddenly remembered the security guards watching her and whispering to each other as she entered the complex. They must have been bad- mouthing her!
“Harlan, what am I going to do!
I don’t want to live anymore!
Now people are cursing me out online, people in my own neighborhood are cursing me, and all the influential people from the banquet are definitely cursing me too. I’m completely ruined!”
Harlan winced in pain. “You’re the one who couldn’t keep her cool. Why did you have to send that stuff to Lucille?”
Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to fight back today. Whether there was surveillance at the dinner or not, Robert would never make it public. With so many powerful and influential people there, if they knew there was a risk of being recorded and exposed just for having a meal, Robert would be finished in Seaston!”
“What’s the use of saying that?
It’s already happened!”
Maricela glared at him, crying.
Harlan thought for a moment. “I have an idea.”
“What?”
“Call Cedrick. He’s divorcing Lucille tomorrow anyway. Have him release a statement saying he’s already divorced and single. That way, it won’t be considered cheating, and you won’t be the mistress.”

Cedrick was sprawled on the floor at home, his life had never felt so bleak.
But then his phone rang, shattering the silence of the night.
He shot up and looked everywhere for his phone.
After finding his phone under the coffee table, he pulled it out and saw the caller ID was Harlan
He collapsed back onto the floor, but still answered the call.
“Cedrick!
I have something important to tell you.”
Harlan sounded very excited on the other end.
But Cedrick couldn’t muster any energy. “What?”
“Cedrick, what are you doing?
Haven’t you seen the trending topics list?
It’s completely blown up!
The one Robert posted has been number one this whole time, you need to make a statement!”
Robert?
Number one?
Cedrick’s mind was a mess. As Harlan’s voice boomed in his ear like an explosion, he clicked on the trending topics list to see.
Oh, he’d forgotten about the trending topics…
“Cedrick, listen to me. The only thing you can do right now is quickly release a statement saying you and Lucille are already divorced. That way, you’re not cheating, and Maricela isn’t the mistress!
Cedrick, no matter what, you have to think about the company’s stock! If this trending topic doesn’t go away, our stock will hit its limit down tomorrow!”
Harlan rattled all this off, but didn’t hear a single word back from Cedrick.
“Cedrick!”

Cedrick, who had been reading all the hate about himself on the trending topics list, snapped out of it and grunted, “Yeah.”
“Did you hear what I said or not!
?”
Harlan said loudly.
“I heard you.”
Cedrick answered slowly, “Release a statement.”
“Right!
You need to post it now!
Hurry up!”
“Okay.”
Cedrick was already getting ready to write it.
After Harlan hung up, he felt relieved and said to Maricela, “It’s done. Cedrick agreed to release a statement.
But Maricela’s mood didn’t improve. A strange fear weighed on her heart, and she still felt scared.
“Don’t think about it. Take a shower, get some rest, eat something. Everything will be fine when
up tomorrow.” you wake
Harlan said.
But Maricela just sobbed.
Harlan sighed, ordered takeout, and then went to take a shower himself.
When he got out of the shower, the takeout had arrived. Before eating, he wanted to see the effect of Cedrick’s statement, so he opened the trending topics list and saw a new topic on it: Cedrick apologizes.
