Chapter 22
Marina was almost shedding tears as she spoke.
“You have to help me, Keely. Remember I did all that you suggested.”
Keely looked at her with concern as she Lay in the bed. Under the quilt, she clenched her fists. A trace of resentment flashed in her eyes.
How could Loraine turn the tables so easily?
Despite her fury, Keely thought it wise to calm Marina first before thinking of the next step to take.
Keely put on a feigned smile immediately.
“Don’t panic, Marina. Leave this to me. I’ll figure out a way. However, you shouldn’t tell Marco that I had a hand in what happened. I won’t be able to persuade him on your behalf if he finds out.”
“What if he becomes angrier after finding out I still hide something from him?”
Since Marina was a little hesitant, Keely said with guilt, “It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have made you do that before having a concrete plan.
As soon as I found out that Loraine was seeing someone else, I felt sorry for Marco…”
A strange expression suddenly appeared on Marina’s face. She sprang to her feet, balling her fists.
“No, this is all Loraine’s fault! If that bitch wasn’t in the picture, my brother wouldn’t have turned against me. Loraine stay married to
Marco and Leeched off him for three years. Now, she’s doing the same to another man. How shameless of her! She‘s also the reason why you are labeled a mistress!”
What? A mistress?
Keely’s face turned pale in horror.
Once Marina left, Keely turned on her phone. She logged on to Twitter and saw all the insults hurled at her.
Keely was so angry that her hands trembled. She called her family’s PR department immediately.
“I don’t care how you will go about this. Just shut down the rumors. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Remove my name from the top trending topic online immediately!”
“Miss Haywood, I’m afraid that will not be possible. We can’t wipe the scandal off the internet just like that. The person behind this is so powerful. Besides, he said that…”
“What did he say?”
There was a suspicious feeling in Keely’s guts.
“He said that this scandal will sit comfortably on Twitter’s trend table for a week.”
