Chapter 110
It had never occurred to Rosalic that the assistant she had trusted for years would betray her so intimately, not only pursuing her husband but also becoming involved with her stepson.
And now, with the scandal publicly trending, she had been humiliated in front of the entire social circle.
The assistant cried out in pain but didn’t dare fight back, desperately trying to shield herself as Rosalie continued to strike her, tearing at her hair and clothes.
Neither woman noticed a bystander discreetly recording the entire confrontation on their phone.
Within minutes, another hashtag began climbing the trending list: [Mrs. Farrell confronts mistress p>
Across town, Adam and Victor were in the middle of a critical board meeting and remained unaware of the scandal until it was too late.
By the time their chief of staff briefed them afterward, public speculation had already spiraled out of control.
Scrolling through the trending list, Adam felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, his fury so intense it nearly blinded him.
He didn’t need to dig deeper to know who was responsible. “Jason,” he spat out through gritted teeth. “It has to be that son of a bitch p>
Victor’s face also tightened as he scanned the trending topics.
“What is Jason playing at, Dad?” he muttered, frustration edging his voice. “How does embarrassing our family like this help him in any way p>
Victor couldn’t believe how far Jason had gone this time.
A sharp pain throbbed behind his temples as he imagined his fiancée’s family coming across the trending posts.
He had no idea how to explain. After all, the photos were not fabricated.
He had been so careful to keep things discreet, and yet somehow Jason had managed to track his every move.
In their circles, having a mistress was hardly a scandal. The real disgrace lay in the fact that both he and his father had been involved with the same woman, who also happened to be the personal assistant to his stepmother.
Victor knew the woman had never actually been involved with Adam, but explaining that now would be futile.
No one would believe it, especially not when the photos of Adam and the assistant, though less sexually explicit than his own, still radiated undeniable intimacy.
Adam’s voice was cold with fury. “That little snake planned this. He wants to watch us burn p>

And Jason was probably relishing every moment, waiting for them to fall even further from grace.
Adam swiftly issued orders to have the search rankings suppressed.
No sooner had he spoken than the office door burst open.
Rosalie marched inside, her face flushed with fury, clutching her assistant tightly by the hair.
Outside the door, a small crowd of onlookers peered curiously into the room, unable to resist the unfolding drama.
Tears brimmed in Rosalie’s eyes as she stared accusingly at the man she had once trusted completely.
“Tell me the truth, Adam,” she cried, her voice thick with emotion. “Are you involved with her? How could you betray me like this p>
Adam felt a rush of anger at her reckless intrusion.
By storming into his office and creating such a scene, she had all but confirmed the scandalous rumors now circulating online.
There was little doubt the incident would soon be leaked to the media, only adding fuel to the fire.
‘What a foolish, impulsive woman,‘ he thought bitterly, struggling to contain his temper.
“Have you
lost your mind?” he snapped, his voice dangerously low. “How could you believe such nonsense?
“Those photos were clearly staged, taken from angles meant to deceive. I expected more sense from you p>
Some of the tension seemed to ease from Rosalie’s shoulders. “You swear it? Promise me there’s nothing between you p>
Adam drew a slow, steadying breath. “I promise. My relationship with her is strictly professional p>
At once, Rosalie released her grip on the terrified assistant and flung herself into Adam’s arms.
“Oh, darling, I was so afraid,” she wept against his chest. “I knew you would never do this to me p>
Adam held her stiffly, thinking with contempt, ‘If you truly believed that, you wouldn’t have dragged her here and made us both a public disgrace!
