Filed to story: My Husband Regrets Divorcing Me (Audrey & Cornell)
“You’re so strong, my queen! Keep going!”
“Sherry, why are you apologizing to us? You did nothing wrong!”
There were some reporters in the audience whom Sherry had hired. They asked questions she had given them.
“Mrs. Blake, what do you think about the recent scandal of your husband cheating?”
“Do you know who the home wrecker is who destroyed your marriage?”
They fired question after question, just as Sherry had told them to.
Sherry lifted teary eyes to the crowd. “Everyone, I trust my husband.
He isn’t a man who would cheat of his own accord. I firmly believed it would only happen when he was drugged and seduced. And as for the woman who did it… Well, she’s here right now! You can just ask her the questions you have.”
A wave of gasps rolled over the audience and everyone began looking around, wondering who it could be.
Audrey was unfazed. She knew it was a false accusation, so she had no reason to react.
Right then, Cecilia decided to add fuel to the drama by pushing Audrey and sporting a pained expression while exclaiming, “Audrey!
How could you continue to be so shameless? Do you not have restraint?
Going as far as provoking a man’s wife like this!”
Immediately, all eyes turned to them.
The reporters surrounded Cecilia in an instant, fighting to shove their mics in front of her to hear her words.
Some knew Cecilia already, so they asked, “Miss Murray, is this a friend of yours? What did you mean by those words?”
Cecilia slapped her hand over her mouth, acting like she’d said something she shouldn’t have. “I didn’t say anything about her seducing my boyfriend before! Don’t put words in my mouth!”
The reporters put things together quickly. “You mean this lady has meddled in your relationship before?”
“Please… That’s all in the past… Be careful what you say before you make the powerful men supporting Audrey punish you.” Cecilia was acting like she was worried for the reporters. “Forget about me.
Let’s focus on what happened to Sherry,” she said gently.
The reporters were painting the story in their head. Cecilia looked pitiful and couldn’t speak about things because she was being pressured.
Some insane people brought Cecilia’s story without thinking and began to throw water bottles at Audrey in a fit of anger.
Victor wasted no time catching them all and flinging them back at those assaulters with more than enough strength. The force of the hits sent several of them falling down in pain.
That got everyone quiet very quickly.
The reporters, spotting new prey, swarmed Audrey instead.
“Why are you at this press conference, Miss? Is what Miss Murray said true?”
“Did you really seduce Miss Murray’s ex, and now Mrs. Blake’s husband?”
“Miss Murray said you have supporters? Is that true? How many are there?”
The reporters did not mince their words. They were asking the questions as though they already knew Cecilia’s words to be true. It was clear Sherry set this whole thing up.
Instantly, the misled folks got rowdy again.
“What a shameless whore! Stealing men frequently!”
“How do I share the earth with such a disgusting human being?”
“Wow! Women like her must have slept with thousands of men. She probably carries loads of infections and STDs. You better stay away!”
Hearing all this, Cecilia had to try her hardest not to burst out laughing. She was so overjoyed. She just said a few words, and now the crowd was doing everything she wanted for her.
Unbeknownst to them, there was someone waiting backstage. Cornell.
His aura was so noble that it made him seem unapproachable. He watched the scene unfolding with pinched brows.
Matteo had to speak up. “Do you think we should do something, Mr. Clement?”
Cornell raised his eyebrows and looked at the crowd coldly. Then, he said emotionlessly, “Throw all of them out!”
When Matteo recognized those people, he hesitated. Among them were leaders of those misled folks, a group of reporters, Cecilia, and Sherry. Wasn’t it absurd? Throwing out Sherry who initiated the press conference was equivalent to ending the event.
However, Matteo had no choice. He could only carry out Cornell’s orders, Matteo immediately signaled to the bodyguards to make a move.
“Wait…” Cornell suddenly stopped them. He paused and said with a frown, “Let’s see a while longer.”
Cornell almost lost control of himself just now. Fortunately, he remembered in time that Audrey didn’t want him to interfere in her affairs. Moreover, Audrey had a trump card that could turn the tables.
He knew she could handle the matter well by herself. He just regarded it as giving her a chance to exercise her ability to deal with scumbags.
Cornell pondered for a while. Although he knew Audrey could handle it, he was still a bit worried. He glanced at Matteo and ordered, “Arrange some bodyguards to protect Audrey. Take down anyone who will attempt to harm her. Make sure nothing happens to her.”
Cornell was worried that Victor would have difficulty beating all the bad people alone. After all, the venue was packed with people from all walks of life.
No matter what Audrey wanted to do, Cornell didn’t care. But her safety was his top priority.
At the press conference, the crowd’s emotion was stirred up by a few words from the reporters.
“Why don’t you say something? Answer the question.”
“Bitch, say something! I’m sure you were not as silent as this when you seduced other women’s husbands.”
Some restless folks were about to charge at Audrey. But before they could make a move, they were pressed to the floor by the men in black.
Audrey was surprised to see this. When she followed the receding figures of those bodyguards, she saw Matteo. Behind Matteo was Cornell’s tall figure standing at the back door.
Cornell stood there with one hand in his pocket. He had a calm expression, like a solid and reliable mountain. Just looking at him made Audrey feel inexplicably at ease.
At this moment, Audrey said to Sherry, “Mrs. Blake, you keep saying that I seduced your husband. Do you have any evidence?”
Sherry was caught off guard. She didn’t see this coming. Even the complacent smile she just had now disappeared without a trace. She coughed awkwardly in embarrassment and hastily replied, “Of course!
I have proof. And I will take this opportunity to show it to the public.”
Audrey knew the so-called evidence Sherry was talking about. It must be the surveillance video that captured her and Cary entering the lounge one after another.
Someone hacked the surveillance footage that day. All the surveillance videos were deleted. Only this seemingly suggestive clip was left.
Back then, Audrey and Cary were drugged. Their faces were flushed, making the scene look suspicious. It made people feel they went to the lounge to have sex.
The clip was posted online by Sherry. It was just that it soon disappeared without any trace. Sherry thought it was Audrey who paid someone to take it down.
Therefore, even if Audrey didn’t mention the evidence, Sherry would find an excuse to play the video at the press conference to garner attention.
At this moment, the video played on the big screen behind Sherry.
Indeed, it was the surveillance footage of that night.
At first, it revealed Audrey’s arrival at the dinner party. Then, the scenes that followed were some ambiguous interactions between Audrey and Cary.
Cecilia and Sherry exchanged knowing glances. They winked at each other and smiled complacently. They believed it was enough to ruin Audrey’s reputation.
But suddenly, the scene changed.
Suggestive moans were heard from the big screen, making people blush.
Their hearts unconsciously beat faster.
Then, heavy breathings of a man and woman followed.
Some obscene words were also audible.
“Do you also play like this with your wife when you have sex with her at home? Mr. Blake, your wife used to do something more exciting than this. I heard she often had sex with several men in one night.
Do you know about it?”
“Damn! I’ve only found out about that after I had married her. It’s too late. I’ve been tricked by the bitch.”
Sherry had her back to the screen, so she didn’t know that the scene had been changed. But when she heard the sound, the expression on her face immediately changed. The folks below the stage were stunned.
The recording… Sherry found something amiss. Why did the voices of the man and the woman in the recording sound so familiar? The man must be Cary and the woman…
Sherry pivoted abruptly, only to be met by such a shocking scene. In the video, Cary and Cecilia were having sex in the bathroom. Obviously, they were having a great time.
Under the influence of the drug? Nah. Seduction? Not possible. One could easily tell from the video that Cary and Cecilia were having an affair with the knowledge of Cary’s marriage.
