All Novel Sweet
Chapter 477
Alex found herself at a loss for words; trying to offer comfort felt pointless. She quietly slipped out of the hospital room. As she closed the door, her eyes caught a glimpse of something-a tear rolling down the man's cheek.
A week later, Margot was at a glitzy promotional event for a luxury jewelry brand. She was decked out in high-end fashion, looking every bit the high society figure she aspired to be. After her provocative posts had driven Selena away, Everett had stopped searching for her. Margot was just a step away from claiming the title of Mrs. Bennett. Recently, she'd been waking up with a smile, dreaming of her success.
But as she stood on stage, basking in the spotlight, chaos erupted. A group stormed in, dousing her with water guns and pelting her with eggs, all while shouting insults. They called her a homewrecker, shameless and disgraceful. Her perfect appearance was shattered; she was soaked, her hair, face, and clothes smeared with egg, leaving her furious.
Then came the journalists, armed with probing questions. They grilled her on what it was like to be "the other woman," how she could be so heartless to push away someone's wife, and why she thought she could marry into wealth with such a reputation. Enraged, she denied it all, but no one bought her defense. She threatened lawsuits against the rumor-mongers, but her threats fell on deaf ears.
Surrounded and overwhelmed, staff tried to help her escape, but in the chaos, she stumbled in her dress and high heels, crashing to the ground. Disheveled and humiliated, her image was captured and plastered across the media, making her a subject of ridicule for quite some time.novelbin
Two weeks later, Everett was out of the hospital and back at work. His expansive top-floor office was filled with sunlight, but his demeanor was colder than ever, as if even the sun couldn't warm his icy presence. Alex felt a chill run down her spine. The boss had become even more intimidating after everything...
Love, it seemed, was the most treacherous of all. From now on, she'd have to be even more cautious around him. Clearing her throat, she decided to check on his health first. "Mr. Everett, don't you think you should take more time to rest? Your injuries were quite severe." "No need," he replied, his tone frosty and detached.
Alex knew better than to argue. After finishing her report, she was about to leave when something important crossed her mind. She hesitated, choosing her words carefully. "Mr. Everett, Bradley called yesterday to ask about the end of your and your wife's cooling-off period. Are you sure... you want to go through with the divorce?"
