Carl opened his mouth, knowing that the recent rumors had made it difficult for Nana to accept.
“I’m sorry,” Carl said sincerely, bowing his head. This was the second time he had apologized today.
Nana lowered her eyes, still exhausted. “You don’t have to apologize.”
“I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have let the reporters write whatever they wanted and make you sad.”
He knew Nana was still angry, so he could only coax her gently. “Mrs. Waters, can you forgive Mr. Waters this time?”
Nana swallowed and her heart softened a little at his words.
But her rational mind told her she couldn’t agree too quickly or there would be a next time and an endless cycle of problems waiting for her – something she couldn’t handle.
She glared at Carl and asked sharply, “Who is Mrs. Waters?”
“Isn’t it you?” Carl tried to embrace Nana but she moved away slightly saying, “Don’t touch me; it makes me sick.”
Watching Nana’s cold and distant attitude towards him made Carl sigh deeply in his heart.
He tried to explain, “Nana, listen to me; Grace means nothing to me; my heart belongs only to you.”
“Nothing?” The thought of those photos made Nana’s heart ache as she raised her voice slightly, “Are you telling me that those photos are fake?”
Carl hesitated for a moment – those photos were not fake – but he was drunk that night and didn’t remember what happened between him and Grace exactly despite how suggestive the pictures looked like.
On the other hand, Grace felt very proud when she saw all these entertainment news about their ambiguous relationship flooding everywhere:
[New Starlet Grace & Movie Emperor Carl’s CP once released with box office success!]
[Grace & Carl pretended in front of camera but became real lovers behind scenes]
[Carl will break up with Nana soon; Mrs. Waters’ position belongs only to Grace]
Looking at these trending topics online made Grace smile smugly because even if Nana got pregnant, what difference would it make? Wasn’t Carl still hers?
She couldn’t believe that Nana could tolerate seeing these reports!
One day, Carl will leave Nana and be with her.
The position of Mrs. Waters can only belong to her, Grace!
However, on this day, Grace couldn’t find any trace of Carl everywhere. In a blink of an eye, she saw the assistant who had always been by Carl’s side, “Where is Carl?”
“Miss Panchak, I don’t know either…” The assistant stammered, unable to say much for a while.
Grace grew impatient, “If you don’t speak, I’ll have you fired.”
The assistant was helpless. Carl had instructed not to disclose anything when he left today, so the assistant could only respond, “Mr. Waters took leave and went back.”
“Went back?” Grace raised an eyebrow and continued questioning, “Where did Carl go?”
“I heard it was Georgia, but I’m not entirely sure,” the assistant thought for a moment and finally said.
“What? Georgia?” At the mention of Georgia, Grace instantly reacted, “Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake?”
“No mistake,” the assistant’s tone was very certain.
Her face was filled with black lines. The Lawson Residence was in Georgia!
Unexpectedly, Carl specifically took leave to go back and find Nana. He easily brushed off such an important job.
Grace’s eyes turned pitch black and ominous. Was Nana really that important to Carl? He could directly go back to her at this critical moment!
She was infuriated, wondering what was so great about Nana that made Carl so infatuated with her.
Grace was furious. She went to her office and directly called several famous journalists in the industry.
“Publish the photos I sent you.”
Grace’s tone and expression were cold, but the journalists on the other end of the line expressed their reluctance, “But the person in these photos is Mr. Waters. It’s something that no one can handle.”
“Five hundred thousand.”
“Well…” The journalist hesitated on the other end of the phone.
“One million!” Grace gritted her teeth.
Grace directly stated the price, which immediately made the journalists eager.
“After it’s done, I will give you another million. You just need to do what I ask.” A touch of sinister intent flashed in Grace’s eyes.
She won’t let Nana off the hook!
She wanted to release the most limited photos, preferably to infuriate Nana!
…
Those journalists worked quickly. In just a short while, the photos were widely spread on the internet.
For a while, sensational gossip news flooded the internet, with various headlines catching people’s attention.
Nana was still in a standoff with Carl.
Suddenly, Nana’s phone rang, and she opened it to see the Twitter screen.
In the next second, the headline on the hot search instantly caught her eye.
[Explosive: Carl Suspected of Abandoning Pregnant Wife at Home and Having an Affair, Intimate Bed Photos Leaked!]
Nana’s hand trembled slightly, and she immediately clicked on it.
Carl noticed that something was wrong with Nana’s expression, “What’s the matter?”
Little did he know that Nana didn’t pay attention to him. Her eyes never left the screen of her phone.
Tracy realized something was wrong and looked over. To her surprise, she saw intimate photos of Carl and Grace on the screen!
If it weren’t known that Carl was married, others might have mistaken them for a couple.
Nana instantly turned red with stifled anger. She didn’t expect Carl to actually do such a thing.
“What do you mean by this?”
Tracy’s temper instantly flared up, trembling as she pointed at Carl, “My daughter is still pregnant, and you’ve already moved on and betrayed my daughter with another woman at this time!”
Carl felt confused, but he immediately knew who the “other woman” was.
“You misunderstand, I didn’t…”
Carl felt heavy-hearted and tried to explain, but Tracy interrupted him directly.
“I never expected you to be this kind of person, you, you…”
Tracy was so angry that her words became incoherent. She held her head, felt short of breath, and in a moment of rapid breathing, she closed her eyes and fainted.
“Mom!” Nana watched Tracy collapse on the ground, rushing over in a panic, crouching down, “Mom, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me!”
Carl was also stunned by the scene in front of him, “Mrs. Lawson, what happened?”
“Isn’t it because of you!” Nana’s heart felt as if it were being cut by a knife, and she shouted, “Quick, quickly take my mom to the hospital!”
