Chapter 905
Today was the weekend, and Central Plaza was jamâpacked. When a video started playing on the big screen at Central Plaza, it immediately caused a huge stir.
Residents of Rosenberg were all too familiar with the incident that happened years ago, so the moment they saw Orlandoâs face, they knew the leading lady in the video was Comelia. Before long, someone put the incident online. With Cornelia and others pushing behind the scenes, in just over an hour, the video had spread widely on the internet and quickly sparked heated debates.
Soon after, Comelia received a message from Hannah in Harbor City: âCornelia, did you catch the Video Incident?â
Comelia replied, âI saw it.â
Hannah said, âComelia, Iâm just gonna cut to the chase. Donât get mad, but doesnât the leading lady in the video look a lot like you?â
Comelia answered, âYou still recognize me, huh?â
Hannah took a few seconds before responding: âIs that really you?â
Before Cornelia had a chance to reply, her personal and work phones both buzzed with new messages. But she didnât check them immediately and continued to reply to Hannah: âYes, itâs me. I was forced to run away from home because of this incident years ago. Now, itâs time to settle the score *
Hannah asked, âWhat on earth is going on? Who released the video? You should get President Hartley to take action immediately to stop the video from spreading. But, Iâm glad that whoever posted the video had some decency and blurred out your face. As long as you donât admit it, no one can confirm itâs you.
Comelia replied, âWe released the video ourselves. We did it to get more people to watch, firstly to prove my innocence, and secondly, I hope more girls who have been through what I have can come forward, ensure their own safety and no longer suffer in silence.â
Hannah said, âCornelia, youâre so brave! Youâre setting an example for girls. This incident has garnered so much attention, and itâs widespread. You can definitely help more girls step out of the shadows.â
Cornelia replied, âI hope I can help them. I originally didnât plan to blur out the video, but President Hartley insisted I do. I didnât win that argument.â
Hannah bluntly said, âBlurring out the video is to protect you, which is the right thing to do. Besides, no man, in love or not, would want others to see his wife undressed.â
Hannah added, âI guess you must be busy now. Take care of your stuff. If you need any help, just let me know.â
Cornelia said, âOkayâ
After finishing chatting with Hannah, Cornelia started checking messages from others.
Among them, there was a message from Leonardo, who was usually flippant but absolutely reliable in times of need. He sent several messages in a row: âComelia, is the leading lady in the Video Incident you?â
âIf it really is you, Iâll tell Marc right away to delete all these videos from the internet, not leaving a single one.â
âWhoâs trying to hurt you? Itâs got me steamed! Tell me where that person is now. If Marc doesnât deal with him, Iâll do it for you.â
He sent so many messages without a reply from Cornelia, so he started getting anxious, âComelia, why arenât you replying? Are you crying at home? Donât cry, youâre the lady of the Hartley Group now. Youâve got Marc backing you up, and thereâs nothing to be scared of.â
He was totally freaking out.
