Chapter 11
She said. “The result of being harassed by a lunatic is a late night hospital visit luckily I have a lover wh there to protect me @Charles.”
Almost immediately, Charles liked and reposted it. “Good baby, don’t let this lunatic affect your mood. Dorsdag that you’re going to shine on stage, and some people only deserve to rot in the gutter?
The comments section was flooded with @messages to me, and the insults kept coming
The most liked comments were from certified famous accounts,all pretending to be my former
colleagues,elaborating on how I had bullied them in the workplace,
Among them were close junior sisters,poor boys I had helped out of sympathy, and even my good friend who used to share lunch with me….
I trembled as I reached for the comments section,
“Don’t look.”
Rogerio grabbed my hand,holding it tightly,
“Rebecca,they don’t deserve it.”
I gripped his hand back,slowly applying more pressure. “No,I need to remember their true faces now.”
Just like when the Smith family fell,those who once held me up high now couldn’t wait to tear me apart,to show off
their victim status.
I had learned my lesson,yet I still misused my trust in so many people.
“Rogerio,am I a fool?”
Rogerio gently wiped away the tears on my cheek.
“Rebecca,if a flower blooms in the mud,there will always be pests jealous of its beauty,trying to gnaw it into pieces. The flower is not wrong,it’s those damn pests.”
“In the future, I’ll be the strong wall that holds you up. You just need to grow upwards and bloom.”
“Thank you,Rogerio,” I pulled out my phone card and without hesitation,threw it into the trash. “You’re right. I need to say goodbye to the past.”
Whether it was the joy of youth or the redemption from despair,it shouldn’t be used by Charles as an excuse to hurt
- me.
We went from supporting each other to becoming strangers,and not revealing the evidence of his affair during our marriage was already me showing mercy.

Rogerio was a man of acti
One phone call from him coated the hang oras sa pet the vis

It showed net nly the whacks on’s fo the red carpet as the faces of Charles and others
prenting me indde
Koon, those former redeagues who desdered for workplace bullying began receiving legal notion and termination letters
They didn’t even get a chance to savor the human blood bus before losing their jobs
Charles the instigator was hit even harder
I heard his entire production line was in trouble
Rogerio told me that Charles was trying to track down my whereabouts.
“If he apologizes to you, what will you do?”
When he asked that question.Rogerio was gently rubbing his brow–something he only did when he was anxious or
stressed.
I handed him the freshly baked cake. “Charles would never think he did anything wrong.”
The cream stuck to Rogerio ‘s sensual lips,a bit of an unexpected charm. “Why do you say that?”
“There were signs earlier,” I said with a mocking smile, “I just got used to being a turtle hiding its head.”
From the first time I found out he kissed Olivia and the media caught them,when I cried and questioned him he said I was being unreasonable and then took Olivia to see the northern lights,I already knew there were changes I
couldn’t hold on to.
I had seen Charles’s arrogance,but I never imagined his retaliation would come in the form of an extravagant fireworks display for Olivia,followed by a high–profile proposal.
Under the deliberate guidance of the internet trolls,many netizens once again turned their attention towards me.
“Although President Carter was a bit excessive at the banquet that day,who wouldn’t be annoyed if a madman kept bothering them?”
“Yeah,Charlotte Edwards totally brought this on herself.”
Rogerio was always particularly quick to catch wind of any issues. As soon as he saw trouble brewing,he was ready to take action,but I stopped him in time.
“I’ll handle this myself,” I said calmly, “I need to make a final decision with Charles.”
Charles had drained the last bit of gratitude I had towards him. This time,I wouldn’t go soft.

I turned the memories of all the years I spent with him into a PowerPoint presentation and posted it online.
This was something I had secretly prepared as a birthday gift for him.
Now,in this way,it had been sent to Charles’s hands.
Amid the uproar,I reposted our wedding photo. This time,the top comment in the thread came from an official staff member of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
“They are indeed a married couple; I personally handled their marriage registration,”
“The couple has been married for seven years. I can understand why President Carter chose to keep the marriage hidden for his career,but proposing to Miss Wright during their marriage is illegal,just so everyone knows.”
