Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 663

For a moment, the entire Capital's high society was set in a stormy uproar.

Every media outlet reported on the incident.

The Thomas family, although not part of the entertainment industry, have always been the object of the media's keen interest.

Berlin's notorious philandering was well-known, and half of the model circle had some entanglement with him. But since he remarried four years ago, he seemed to have toned down quite a bit.

Everyone said that this second wife of Berlin's was a formidable woman, able to keep this playboy's heart tethered.

Unexpectedly, rumors of infidelity surfaced.

Internet gossip was rampant.

"Berlin has been a playboy all his life, finally someone has cuckolded him. This is karma, he's eating his just desserts."

"I think Mrs. Thomas simply couldn't take it anymore. After all, what a woman wants is a family. With a husband as unloyal as hers, which woman can tolerate it? Afterall, women are emotional creatures."

"Why is it that when a man cheats it's taken for granted, but when a woman cheats it's unreasonable? This society's discrimination against women is enough, but never has anyone looked into the difficulties of women. Regardless, I stand with Mrs. Thomas this time."

Surprisingly, despite the fact that the media of the Capital reported on this incident these days, the overwhelming public opinion surprisingly stood on Laura's side.

Agnes knew that Laura must have hired internet trolls to guide public opinion.

Diluting the fact of infidelity, instead, the discussion was elevated to some societal issues surrounding infidelity, stirring up public sentiment. At the same time, Laura dug out Berlin's philandering over the years, establishing the label of scumbag.

Laura had also been immersed in the entertainment industry for half her life.

She was well-versed in public relations.

So even though she was the one who cheated, public opinion was actually standing on her side, helping her criticize Berlin.

Agnes guessed that Laura was probably preparing for a divorce.

The direction of public opinion was in her favor to fight for the Thomas family's fortune.

Sure enough, Agnes noticed that although Laura stayed in her room these days, she had Beatrice contact several law firms.
