Chapter 93 Embroiled in Scandal
“Am I right?” Gwen’s mocking voice came through the receiver.
Jake showed no signs of remorse. “You really don’t have the ability to confront Anthony right now, I’m just looking out for you.”
“Save your hypocrisy. Get him to come after me directly if he has an issue!”
The call ended abruptly. As Jake stared at the darkened screen, a flicker of anger at her rejection passed through his eyes. What a foolish woman! He wanted to see how she would handle this.
In the front seat, his assistant reported, “Mr. Hall, Cedar just informed me that there are some issues with the project in Findley, and they need you to go there in person.”
Jake closed his eyes to suppress his anger. “Understood. Book the earliest flight.”
The business in Findley was crucial, which was why he had sent Cedar there to oversee it.
Recently, the company had been busier than ever, noticeably more so than when Gwen was around.
It was best that she experienced some challenges. Extending an olive branch and getting her to work for him again would be easier when she had nothing left.
After ending the call, Gwen turned and found Leon restraining Ryan from rushing in to interrupt. Once the call was over, he finally let go.
“Why did you stop me? I wanted to help Gwen confront that scumbag!”
“Are you itching for a fight?” Leon shot him a warning glance, and Ryan immediately complied.
Initially feeling down after the call, Gwen found her spirits lifted at the sight of her brothers. How could she be against the world? Behind her were her most important family and friends.
With them by her side, she felt she had the entire world,
Gwen smiled lightly. “Leon, be gentle. Ryan’s arm is just starting to heal.”
“Right! How could you be so rough on your beloved younger brother? I’ll report you to Henry and Grandpa!” Ryan immediately counterattacked when he saw the opportunity.
“I didn’t uch that arm.” Leon took a seat calmly. “If it’s really bad, I’ll call the family doctor. I’ll cover the
expense..
“You!” Ryan tugged Gwen over. “Gwen, you be the judge of this.”
She quickly made her way upstairs. “I’m going to sleep first. I have a lot to do tomorrow!”
The next morning, her phone rang.
“Babe! The internet is in chaos right now!” Yara exclaimed.
Gwen knew exactly what was going on and sighed. “Is everyone online trashing me?” Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
“It’s not just trashing. It’s turned into outright hatred!” Yara was extremely
anxious
I had Judy help you take down the posts, but she said it’s impossible. Deleting comments doesn’t really
make a difference!”
Gwen ended the call and promptly went online to check Her name had skyrocketed to the top of the

trending topics.
A prominent influencer directly accused her of having an affair with Simon and claimed she seduced the CEO of Savant Group to secure her position as general manager while still married to Jake.
The so–called evidence included a photo of her and Ryan driving home together before the divorce and a photo of her meeting Henry at a café in Dornwick.
Then, a classmate of Gwen’s suddenly emerged and posted a video of hallway bullying with the person’s face blurred out. The caption read, “She used to be the school bully. There are plenty of these videos. I don’t even need to film it secretly!”
The allegations of marital infidelity combined with school bullying struck every nerve. Instantly, the internet exploded with criticism.
“So this is Gwen’s true nature!”
“It’s one thing to be a nobody who got lucky with a rich guy, but she’s cheating on him too!”
“Of all the people to seduce, she goes for my idol, Simon!”
“I can’t believe Simon is like this! What a surprise!”
“If she bullied classmates in school, what good can she be?”
“Expose her! Let’s keep digging!”
Both the tags #GwenTheVixen and #GwenTheVillain claimed the top spots.
Even stock investors lost confidence, and the stock market plummeted by over ten percent due to the appointment of such a notoriously ill–reputed individual by the CEO.
Ryan and Leon soon entered her room. They were clearly aware of the trending topics.
“Gwen, are you okay?” Ryan approached and smoothed down her hair.
“Ryan, I’m sorry for dragging you into this mess.”
“Don’t worry. I have plenty of loyal fans who won’t care about something so minor,” Ryan reassured her
“I can help you delete these posts, but it would attract too much attention,” Leon said calmly.
“It’s okay, Leon. Deleting them won’t help. This is a planned attack.”
Was this what dake had meant about Anthony rallying the entertainment industry for revenge?
It certainly seemed more powerful than before.
“Henry just called. He’ll be arriving soon. He wants you to stay home for a few days and not go to the company. Let Alfie handle any business for now.”
