The anxiety in her heart intensified. Rosiley clicked on the voice message Xiaoxiao sent her.
“Rosiley, something serious has happened. Why aren’t you answering my calls? Are you trying to make me die from anxiety?”
Xiaoxiao’s voice sounded very anxious and frantic. Rosiley could not help but frown deeply.
“Rosiley, your alleged affair with Yan Xu is all over the Internet. They claim that you two had a rendezvous in his car. There are even videos and some photos. What really happened?”
“An affair? With Yan Xu? A rendezvous in his car?”
Rosiley widened her eyes, her face full of shock.
It could not be so coincidental, could it?
She had just gone to see Yan Xu, and they had taken photos of them. So the paparazzi were making a big deal out of it?
Rosiley did not know whether to laugh or cry at this nonexistent affair.
This must be why Corey and Morphy were so anxious.
Rosiley could not help but burst out laughing. She raised her eyes inadvertently and saw Sachin standing just outside the bathroom.
Her expression instantly froze. The two of them watched each other quietly, not saying a word.
The room lapsed into a deathly silence.
After a long time, Rosiley finally forced out a smile. She asked tentatively, “Sachin, have you heard the rumor?”
Sachin said nothing, merely stared at her intently.
She bit her lip and wanted to explain, but did not know where to start.
In the end, she could only give a soft sigh and say quietly, “None of it’s true.”
Sachin stared at her for a long time before whispering, “Come down after you’ve brushed your teeth and washed up.”
With that, he turned and walked out of the room.
The door closed gently. The room instantly resumed its former quietness.
“Ah!” Rosiley sighed heavily. She felt defeated, as though she would be unable to explain herself even with a hundred mouths.
…
Corey, who was waiting in the living room, seemed somewhat anxious and restless. He would turn his head from time to time to look up at the stairs.
Upon seeing this, Morphy could not help but smile. He mocked, “Second Cousin, why are you even more anxious than Big Brother?”
“Aren’t you nervous too?” Corey asked him back, displeasure showing on his handsome face. “You’ve seen the video in today’s news. sister-in-law really got into his car. Even if there’s nothing between them, she shouldn’t have done that so late at night.”
Morphy thought otherwise. “sister-in-law knows Yan Xu. They’re friends, so there’s nothing wrong with them meeting. You don’t have to brood too much over it.”
“But…”
Corey wanted to retort, but saw Morphy stand up.
“Big Brother.” Morphy looked at Sachin, who had just descended the stairs.
When he heard him, Corey hastily stood up and turned around. He cried anxiously, “Big Brother, something serious has happened.”
Sachin glanced at him, walked to the opposite side of the pair, and sat down. His sharp eyes fell on them both.
“What serious thing has happened?” he asked.
“sister-in-law has had a rendezvous with another man. She… ”
When he heard Corey say that, Morphy really wanted to slap him over the head. “Couldn’t he be more tactful?”
So he raised his hand and covered Corey’s mouth, throwing him a fierce glare. Then he continued for him, “The paparazzi have taken photos of sister-in-law getting into Yan Xu’s car. Big Brother, you know how those paparazzi are. They like to make up stories based on photos. So it wasn’t a rendezvous, just a casual meeting between two innocent friends.”
Rosiley, who was hurrying down, heard Morphy. Her eyes immediately welled up with tears. She was right to have treated him so well.
He had spoken up for her at this crucial moment.
