The Woman From Hell

I went to the living room and sat down on the sofa to scroll through my phone. My name appeared

twice on the top trending hashtags, so the netizens were naturally curious about my identity and

what made m e so special that I was able to get so involved in the lives of two leading companies'

bosses.

I must say that the netizens were truly powerful because my identity had become transparent now.

Only the Schumans were not a business family, so the netizens dared not talk about them. They just

focused on what my relationship with Theo and Matthew was at the moment.

There were all sorts of speculations, and after reading several comments, I could not read further.

After all, n o one would be so free as to read criticisms about oneself.

Initially, I thought these reporters would stand outside the house for at least four to five days, but

most of them had left by evening when I woke up to check.

I figured Theo had probably pressured the majority of the media companies. Munchkin must not

have his photos taken by the media, hence he had no choice but to stay over at Tyler's place for

now.

I was just about to give Theo a call to ask about the situation there when Cassey called.

She had always been a straightforward person, so she asked straight away, "Have you thought of a

way to thank me?"

I was stunned, and my gaze fell on the reporters outside the yard. I finally reacted. "Were you the

one who pressured the media?"

She smacked her tongue. "If my name was on the top trending hashtags, I’d be eager to glue my

phone to my hand. You, however, are completely not bothered by it at all!"

I removed the phone from my ear and checked the top trending hashtag.

I realized that the news about me had been replaced b y the news about Cassey marrying a

professor from Canona University in a low-key arrangement.

"The headline..."

Caleb was a professor in a distinguished university, and even though he came from a humble origin,

his ability and educational qualifications were worthy of recognition. A headline like that was

undoubtedly demeaning to Caleb.

She pursed her lips and said, "Caleb said that only by writing it this way will the article be able to

capture interest, so I commissioned the media to put it this way. We did not intend to announce our

marriage to the public because that meant that our lives would likely be exposed to the public eye,

but I don't mind. I'm just worried that he’ll feel pressured by it."

After a pause, she continued, "It's clear that someone i s deliberately messing with you this time,

someone who understands you and Theo, as well as you and Matthew, very well. If what the media

says is false, then that's fine, but most of it is true. My brother hopes that you’ll stop being exposed

to the public eye, that’s why he approached me in hopes of using Caleb and my wedding to keep

your news down."

For a moment I did not know what to say.

There were only so many reporters in Whaldorf City. The news that concerned them was only

related to the gossip between the aristocratic families and celebrities.

Cassey was more than 30 this year and she was the precious daughter of the Louises. When news

of her marriage was exposed, the hype was no less than that of Matthew and my news. Therefore,

the majority of the reporters left.

"What will you and Caleb do now?" Once they were exposed, their wedding would have to be held

in public.

She said indifferently, sounding nonchalant about it," What can we do? At most, we’ll just hold our

wedding i n public. But Caleb will now get more attention at the university."

"I'm sorry." I felt quite sorry about it. "I encountered Matthew by chance that day but did not expect

someone to maliciously take a photo of us."

"We’re a family, so why are you apologizing to me?" she said, pausing for a moment before saying,

"But though we're a family, you'll still have to thank me properly.”

I was amused. "Sure, I'll definitely buy you a meal one day."

When Theo came back at night, I had already fallen asleep.

I woke up to the sound of water coming from the bathroom and stared at the ceiling for a while

before sitting up from the bed.

I picked up the glass of water on the bedside table and took a sip of it while looking in the direction

of the bathroom.
