Chapter 308
She was so angry back then that she ran off, but he told her not to be mad at Harlan, that Harlan was just joking…
It turned out that joke wasn’t funny at all…
She didn’t come home that night.
How hurt must she have been to not come home…
At that moment, Cedrick lost even the desire to punch Harlan, because he had no right to.
What right did he have to punch Harlan?
What was the difference between him and Harlan?
He shot to his feet.
“Where are you going?
Cedrick!”
Harlan called out to him.
“I’m going to clear things up!”
He was going to get on stage, grab the microphone, and tell everyone that the video was edited.
“Cedrick, don’t go!”
But the image on the projection screen changed again.
It switched to Leo’s account.
It was obviously a brand–new account, with only one post: “Hello everyone, I’m Rossi. I’m the person you’ve all been cursing out on the trending topics list tonight. I have some material for you to see. After you watch it, you can judge for yourselves.”
It was a display of chat logs.
The photos and messages Maricela had once sent to Lucille.

For example “Hurry up and get a divorce, don’t cling to him like a leech.”
“What can you give him?”
“Can you have sex with him?”
“Can you have his children?”
“Guess where we are right now?”
“In the new house Cedrick bought for me!”
“And more expensive bags, more expensive watches, guess who bought them for me…

Besides Maricela’s provocative texts, there were also the conversations Lucille used to deliberately bait Maricela, where she intentionally emphasized in her texts to Maricela that she and Cedrick were married, asking what she meant by interfering, and that he was now her husband, married for five years, registered at City Hall, with a marriage certificate, protected by law, and so on.
Maricela’s replies made it completely clear that she was the other woman.
Things like, “Cedrick just loves me. No matter how long I’m gone, I’m still the one Cedrick
cherishes most.”
And. “Who at the company doesn’t treat me like Mrs. Maynard?”
“Which of Cedrick’s buddies doesn’t call me sister–in–law?”
And “Go ahead, show Cedrick. Cedrick won’t blame me. He gets me, he’ll never blame me…‘
These texts, one by one, had all been saved by Lucille as screen recordings, and were now projected on the big screen, posted online for everyone to see clearly.
Lucille had originally kept these chat logs as a backup, planning to use them as legal evidence if she ran into trouble with the divorce; if the divorce went smoothly, she wouldn’t need them.
She never expected they would come in handy now.
At the same time, the photo Maricela had sent her–of a shirtless Cedrick with her in a sexy nightgown sleeping on his shoulder–was also released.
Other people could buy clickbait social media accounts, and Robert could too.
Other people could buy their way onto the trending topics list, and Robert could too.

From the previous narrative of a capitalist humiliating a worker to “Oh, so she’s the mistress, she deserved to be hit,” the reversal took less than half an hour.
At the same time, Maricela’s lovey–dovey posts on Facebook were also exposed. One of them was that very photo of a naked, sleeping Cedrick, except Maricela had censored Cedrick’s face.
But aside from the face, the released photo and the censored one were a 100% match.
So. Maricela’s Facebook posts were flooded with comments.
The beautiful love story that people had previously admired and blessed turned into “So it was an affair.” and the comments on her posts were vicious.
The screen in the banquet hall, which was syncing with the trending topics list, caused an uproar
in the room.
