Chapter 151
In just one night, rumors of Alexander and Sabrina’s public display of affection swept throughout River City's high society circles.
The Forbes Family, which had been so glamorous just yesterday, instantly became River City's most humiliating punchline.
Early in the morning, both Debra and Amanda called Charlotte.
However, they spoke very cautiously,assuring her that if she was hurting, they would unhesitatingly stand by her side.
Charlotte didn't quite understand, but she vaguely guessed that it must be related to what happened at the exhibition yesterday.
Sure enough, a bit later, a call from Jenna confirmed everything.
"Alexander hasn’t even signed the divorce papers, yet he’s flaunting Sabrina in public. He’s utterly shameless!"
"By the way, they didn't bully you, did they?"
"If they dare bully you,I’ll grab a knife and settle the score myself!"
Jenna had heard the news from a high school classmate.
As soon as she heard it, she immediately called Charlotte.
Hearing Jenna's voice, Charlotte felt warm inside: "I'm fine, and I even splashed red wine all over Sabrina and Alexander."
Jenna paused for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Serves them right!"
Charlotte laughed too: "Don't worry, the day after tomorrow I can officially divorce Alexander."
Jenna's voice also sounded cheerful: "That's great! Then you'll be completely free!"
"By the way, once I finish with the shop, I'll come keep you company. Wait for me."
"Okay."
The exhibition ran for three consecutive days.
Because of yesterday's incident with the stolen brooch, Alexander urged Sabrina to rest well at home, saying he'd arrange for someone else to handle the exhibition.
But Sabrina refused, insisting on attending in person.
Alexander had no choice but to have his driver take her there.
As soon as Sabrina entered the exhibition hall, she immediately sensed an unusual atmosphere.
Probably because of The Forbes Group and Alexander's reputation, some people still came to view the exhibition today.
However, when they saw Sabrina appear, their expressions were a bit strange, and they even whispered to each other from time to time.
Sabrina watched them for a moment before summoning a staff member to ask what had happened.
The staff member naturally wouldn't say, so he evaded her questions until she dismissed him in a fit of pique.
After Sabrina impatiently dismissed him, she went straight into the lounge.
Before long, she suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps.
Just as she was about to go out and see what was happening, Calvin had already stormed in angrily!
"I'm so mad! Those bastards went too far!"
Seeing the bruises on Calvin's face, Sabrina quickly went up to him: "Calvin, what happened to you? How did you get hurt like this?"
Calvin just pounded the table: "It's nothing, they're hurt worse than me."
Sabrina gave him a look of practiced disappointment.: "Didn't you promise me you wouldn't fight with others anymore? How could you forget again?"
"Don't you know it pains me to see you injured?"
Seeing Sabrina's eyes gradually reddening, Calvin was speechless.
After a long while, he scratched his head helplessly: "Actually, I didn't want to fight with them either, but they went too far."
Sabrina looked at him disapprovingly: "If they want to talk, let them talk. It won't hurt you one bit anyway."
Calvin stood his ground. "I don't care if they talk about me, but they were talking about you."
Calvin's voice stopped abruptly.
Across from him, Sabrina stared at him without blinking: "Tell me, what did they say about me?"
Calvin regretted saying the wrong thing: "Actually, they didn't say much."
"If they didn't say much, would you fight them like this?"
Sabrina stared at him, then turned around: "If you don't tell me the truth, don't come looking for me anymore."
Calvin feared this phrase from Sabrina the most, so he immediately gave in and told her everything.
"They said I'm shameless and seduced Alexander?" Sabrina looked as if she'd received a huge blow, swayed, and collapsed onto the sofa.
Calvin was terrified. He rushed forward and crouched down: "Sabrina, what's wrong? Please don't scare me."
Sabrina slowly raised her head, tears welling in her eyes: "How could they do this? It's so cruel."
Calvin felt terrible. He wanted to wipe away Sabrina's tears, but his hand froze halfway.
Sabrina's eyes shifted, and seeing him like this,she called him an idiot under her breath.
The next moment, she pretended to be heartbroken and slowly rested her head on Calvin's shoulder.
The moment they made contact, Calvin's whole body trembled! He even held his breath for a moment.
But he quickly steadied himself, holding his breath, afraid to move and ruin the moment.
They stayed like this quietly for a while, and Calvin finally managed to say: "Sabrina, don't worry, I'll have my people refute the rumors right away."
"Those people are talking nonsense! If you and Alexander were actually a thing, why would he have married Charlotte in the first place?"
Seeing Sabrina still silently wiping her tears, he became anxious again: "Sabrina, don't worry,"I’ll find someone to fix this for you right now."
Sabrina hurriedly stopped him: "Calvin, don't, I'm fine."
The more she tried to stop him, the more determined Calvin became: "Don't worry, I've already found people. I definitely won't let Charlotte off easy."
With that, Calvin walked outside and made a phone call.
"Hey, quickly get more people to leave comments under that post."
"Remember, tell them to say this..."
Hearing Calvin's voice outside, Sabrina’s face lit up with a dark, playful smile.
Actually, when she threw herself into Alexander's arms yesterday, she had already anticipated today's scene.
But she wasn't afraid at all, nor was she angry.
Because this was exactly the result she wanted.
Jasmine always said: Money and power make people forget everything.
As long as she completely angered Charlotte and made her give up and divorce Alexander, the position of Mrs. Forbes would eventually be Sabrina's.
Once Sabrina became Mrs. Forbes and won a few major design awards.
By that time, those people would betoo busy trying to get on her good side!Who would remember these current rumors?
As for Calvin, letting him cause a scene worked for her too.
This way Charlotte would only become more upset and more likely to give up on Alexander.
The day after tomorrow was the day she and Alexander would officially divorce.
Don’t let me down, Calvin, she mused darkly.
Acorn Lane.
Jenna had just finished arranging things at the shop and was about to go keep Charlotte company when an employee rushed over with a phone.
"Jenna! Something's happened!"
