âWhat exactly is going on?â Arianaâs anxiety grew, as she suddenly realized something might be wrong.
âDid something happen to Theodore? Was he in a car accident or kidnapped?â
âHe has an affair!â Sonia yelled, livid.
âDarn it! One of my friends took photos of Theodore and the woman in white in a manor in the southern suburbs.
They appeared to be living together.
â
Ariana was dumbstruck by the revelation.
âThatâs why I asked how long itâs been since you spoke to him.
It appears Theodore has spent the last three days with this woman in white, and his assistant has been buying the photos at high prices to keep them from leaking.

Ariana, growing angrier as she continued, âIf it werenât for my friend, we would have been kept in the dark.
I only managed to get a blurry photo.
You can see their figures in it, and Iâm sending it to you right now.
â
A moment later, with a âdingâ sound, Ariana received the picture.
Although the figures in the photo were indistinct, Ariana could discern that they were Theodore and Helen.
Even sitting in a wheelchair, Theodore still exuded an extraordinary aura that no one in Eleymond could replicate.
Moreover, Helenâs long hair cascading down to her waist was unmistakable and easy to recognize.
Arianaâs mood soured, and she exchanged a few words with Sonia before hanging up the phone.
Soon after, Horace called.
âMrs.
Anderson, what can I help you with?â
âWhere is he? Why is his phone off?â Ariana inquired.
Horace appeared to be hesitant for a brief moment before he spoke up.
âMr.
Anderson has been taking a break for the past two days and has not been in contact with anyone, so his phone is turned off.
However, if there is an urgent matter, I can inform him immediately.
â
Ariana sneered and replied, âNo need, forget it.
I wonât bother him.
â
After ending the call, Ariana felt increasingly disheartened the more she examined the photo.

She couldnât comprehend why Theodore always treated Helen differently, even though he claimed to have no connection with her.
What could a man and a woman be doing together in a secluded house? No one would believe they didnât share a romantic bond.
Moreover, Horaceâs evasive demeanor only fueled her suspicions.
She didnât want to doubt Theodore, but her thoughts spiraled out of control.
Eventually, she chose to immerse herself in work as a distraction.
During this time, Sonia called Ariana multiple times, worried she might do something reckless out of anger.
Sonia offered comforting words, thoughtfully asked for Arianaâs current hotel address, and arranged a lavish meal for her.
Gazing at the exquisite dishes, Ariana was touched.
âIs being a paparazzo so lucrative now? How can you afford to treat me to Michelin-starred cuisine?â
âDonât underestimate me! Iâm a prominent paparazzo now.
Plenty of stars worry that I possess their secrets,â Sonia boasted.
