Free Web NovelChapter 119: Chapter 119: The Cheating Exposé
"Of course it’s none of my business."
Jaden feigned composure and lay back on the hospital bed. "I’m just worried she’ll give up on herself."
"Just worry about yourself."
"It’s one thing for Nina Halloway to give up on herself, but it’s a much bigger deal if she corrupts your wife. Shouldn’t you do something about her?"
Alaric Blackwood ignored Jaden and made a call to Ethan Austin.
His phone suddenly rang. Seeing that the call was from Alaric Blackwood, Ethan Austin’s heart started pounding.
"I need to take this call."
He got up, slipped out of the private room, and found an inconspicuous corner to answer Alaric Blackwood’s call.
"Which bar are they going to?"
"I don’t know."
"Then find out. Send me the bar’s address."
Alaric Blackwood was always decisive. As soon as he finished speaking, he hung up without any hesitation.
’From the sound of it, he’s planning to go to the bar tonight to catch them in the act.’
Jaden’s interest was suddenly piqued. "Are you planning on catching them?"
Alaric Blackwood grunted in affirmation.
’The woman wouldn’t even go on a honeymoon with me. If she dares to hire male escorts at a bar, I’ll definitely drag her back and teach her a proper lesson.’
"If you’re going to catch them, count me in."
Jaden sat up again and said to Evan Ford, "Quick, help me with the discharge papers."
After lunch, Sophie Shaw brought Nina Halloway and Ethan Austin to Heart of the Ocean. The new furniture was due to arrive in a little over half an hour, and they needed to move the old sofa and cabinet from the breakroom to the trash area downstairs.
Nina Halloway helped Sophie Shaw empty the cabinet and wanted to help carry it, but Sophie stopped her.
She remembered Alaric Blackwood saying that Nina Halloway had a back injury. "Ethan and I can carry it. The cabinet isn’t made of solid material; it’s pretty light, not that heavy. Nina, you don’t need to help with this."
"But I want to help."
"Then you can help by making us a pot of coffee."
Nina Halloway smiled and nodded. "Leave it to me."
Sophie Shaw and Ethan Austin worked together to carry the cabinet out of the breakroom and toward the elevator, leaving Nina alone to fiddle with a second-hand coffee machine.
The coffee machine she had at home was a high-end, imported model. The one at Sophie’s company was a bit old and a very dated model. As she was trying to figure out how to use it, a call came in from Alaric Blackwood.
She answered, pressing the phone to her ear with her shoulder. Before she could even speak, she heard Alaric Blackwood’s slightly furious voice, "Thinking of taking my wife to play with male escorts?"
"..."
"Can’t you be a better influence? My dear sister."
Nina Halloway: "..."
"If you cause any more trouble, I’ll have Mom and Dad arrange a blind date for you."
"Don’t..."
"Scared now?"
Nina Halloway instantly backed down. "Alright, I was wrong, okay?"
"Don’t let it happen again. I’m hanging up."
"Wait, don’t hang up yet. I have something serious to tell you."
"What is it?"
Nina Halloway told Alaric Blackwood everything that had happened at the furniture store, down to the last detail. Alaric listened patiently, then hung up.
He got up and left Jaden’s hospital room, ignoring Jaden’s shouts as he walked away quickly.
Evan Ford followed behind him. "What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"I’m making a trip home."
"Is something wrong?"
"Yes. You should come with me."
The two cars arrived at Maplewood Estate, one after the other. Evan Ford followed Alaric Blackwood into the house.
After changing into slippers in the foyer, Alaric Blackwood went to the kitchen, opened the fridge, took out two bottles of water, and tossed one to Evan Ford before striding upstairs.
Curious, Evan Ford followed him into the study.
He watched as the man opened his computer and, with a few skilled taps on the keyboard, recovered a recently deleted video.
"What’s this?"
The corner of Alaric Blackwood’s lip curled up. "Evidence of Damian Morgan’s affair."
With that, he picked up his phone and contacted a senior media professional. "I’m sending you a scoop. A video. I want it trending for at least three days."
After the call, he sent the video to the media contact. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
An hour later, the internet exploded.
#HeiressActressVianneKane: Newlywed Husband Caught Cheating#
This exposé quickly shot to the top of the entertainment trending list.
When Vianne Kane came across this trending topic, she was at a beauty salon getting a facial and a full-body massage.
She was lying face down on a massage table with a black cream mask on her face, scrolling through entertainment news about herself on her phone. As she scrolled, she stumbled upon the news of her husband’s affair.
"AHHH!!!"
A blood-curdling scream erupted from the VIP room, terrifying the masseuse who was working on her.
With trembling hands, she scrambled off the massage table. Not waiting for the esthetician to come and wash the mask off, she rushed toward the changing room with her face still black.
’That damn Damian Morgan! He really is having an affair with another woman.’
The exposé didn’t show the full video, but it included several clips where the faces of Damian Morgan and Yara Valentine were clearly visible.
Fuming, Vianne Kane changed back into her clothes, grabbed her purse, and stormed out of the salon, completely forgetting she still had the mask on and her face was still covered in the black paste.
She drove home and called Damian Morgan the moment she walked in the door.
The man had already seen the news online and was contacting his company’s PR team to try and get the topic taken down from the trending list.
"You get your ass back here now."
She yelled and hung up.
Damian Morgan’s heart was pounding with panic. He couldn’t continue looking at furniture and appliances with his mother. He drove Yvonne Quinn back to her place and immediately rushed back to the Kane Family home.
On the way, he had already come up with an excuse and even remembered to call Yara Valentine so they could get their stories straight.
Seizing the opportunity, Yara Valentine made a demand. "I’m unemployed now. I need a job. Find a way to get me into the Kane Group’s design department."
"The scandal is already blowing up everywhere, and you want to get into the Kane Group? Are you insane?"
"I don’t care. If you don’t get me a job, I won’t play along with your act in front of Vianne Kane."
"You’re really crazy. Didn’t I tell you that you don’t need to work? I can support you." frёewebηovel.cѳm
"It’s better if we both work hard together, rather than you struggling alone. I just want to share your burden. Besides, I’m very talented in design. I just need a stage to show what I can do."
Damian Morgan couldn’t win the argument with her and had no choice but to agree.
When he rushed home, Vianne Kane had already been waiting for him for a long time.
"What the hell is this story online? Didn’t you say you weren’t seeing anyone else? That you weren’t cheating?"
Vianne Kane screamed at him, her eyes red, like she had gone mad.
The black mask had been washed off her face. She was bare-faced, and since she had just had a deep cleanse and treatment, her cheeks and the tip of her nose were red. That, combined with her hysterical shrieking, made her look extremely ugly in Damian Morgan’s eyes.
He suppressed the urge to call her a hag and pulled her into his arms. "Vianne, let me explain."
"A famous media figure already exposed it! What the hell is there to explain? You lied to me! You cheated on me with another woman! Isn’t the woman in the video Yara Valentine, that former designer from Heart of the Ocean?"
"Are you playing me for a fool?"
"When did you get together with that woman?"
"You’ve been together for a long time, haven’t you? Cheating behind my back over and over?"
Vianne Kane was overcome with emotion and raised her hand to slap Damian Morgan across the face.
Slap after slap echoed through the vast living room. She hit him so hard that his nose and mouth started to bleed, and his cheeks swelled up.
