Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 586

The title confused Carla, but her curiosity forced her to read on.

She skimmed through the article quickly. As she pieced together the meanings behind the words, a feeling of dread started to gnaw at her stomach.

The writer hadn't included their names. He or she was completely anonymous, appearing to know all about her. In this article, the writer had laid bare all the sordid details of her past. Admittedly, some of the statements were true. Others, however, were entirely fictional. The author, whoever he or she was, had exaggerated the truth and taken liberties with it.

There was no doubt about it, the article was written to discredit her.

Somebody wanted to tarnish her reputation.

This article was even more surprising given that recently she had been on the receiving end of a surplus of positive articles about her. Journalists had been singing her praises and depicting her as angelic, composed and selfless. They said she deserved to be the wife of the president of the AJ Group. In those articles, Carla was the perfect, untarnished embodiment of every rich housewife in JA City. She was serene and poised, but also generous, often putting others before herself.

But this article was something else entirely...

"What the actual fuck?" Violet swore in a loud voice.

She, like everyone else in town, had just seen the article about Carla.

As her eyes greedily absorbed line after line of the article, the anger inside her grew. "Who the hell wrote this? Did the writer receive some kind of bribe? How could they write these kinds of things? For fuck's sake! People are so stupid online! They'll believe anything, even these blatant lies!"

The more Violet read, the more indignant she felt.

Worried about whether Carla had seen the article, she glanced over at her. Carla's phone was in her hand and her head was down, looking listlessly at the screen. She lifted her face and her eyes met Violet's. The color had left her pretty face entirely. And Carla was white with shock at that moment.

In the article, Carla was portrayed as a scheming bitch. And not just that, she was also a rampant and ruthless seducer of men.

The article even claimed that she feigned the devastating flood in her home just to make Terence feel sorry for her and take her back.

And that by far was not the worst of it.

The article went even further with its sordid lies.

She did whatever she could to seduce a young general manager of the Hua family, even causing him to lose his job. The article called into question her legitimacy as heir to the Hua family estate, claiming that she obtained this position after sleeping with the young and naive general manager.

And the article still said that after Carla successfully became the heir to the Hua family, she discarded the poor young manager like he was an old toy and set her sights on seducing Terence once again. According to an inside source, Carla knew Terence was in a serious and stable relationship with a woman he was considering marrying. But that meant nothing to Carla. She did all she could to lure Terence to her bed and win him back.

It said she had schemed a marvelous and manipulative plan to get Terence back.

The article glossed over their beautiful wedding and all the years they had spent happily married. It didn't fail to mention, however, that Terence had discovered her in bed with a vast array of different men, not just once but on several different occasions.

And there were also those two photos at the end of the article. They were private photos of Carla and Johnny getting intimate.

Somehow Carla summoned the strength to keep reading. She read that Terence once filed for divorce, so Carla feigned the devastating flood in her home.

She designed to go through all that trouble just to make Terence feel sorry for her and change his mind!

Carla stopped reading there. She just couldn't take any more of it and so, in frustration, she slammed her phone down on the table.

She couldn't keep her anger under control for a second longer.

And she couldn't read another word of that article.

"Carla, don't take it to heart! Honestly, those bastards are talking pure nonsense! They are complete imbeciles! Don't be angry. We all know the truth and you're innocent!" said Violet.

She rubbed Carla's back gently, and tried to soothe her with kind words, "I guess someone must be so jealous of you that they tried to embarrass and discredit you."

Carla was really angry. She took the glass of water from the table, and almost drank all its contents in one long gulp. But it did nothing to extinguish the tight knot of rage forming in her stomach.

"Violet, I just can't bear to read the last few paragraphs. Could you help me to?" asked Carla.

"Carla..." Violet hesitated.

"Someone is trying to smear my good name, and I think the clues for who he or she is must be in the article somewhere. Read it out loud for me. I want to know how they end the article and try to guess who wrote it!" said Carla.

She knew she didn't have the energy to read it by herself anymore.

Recently, her life had been tranquil and peaceful, some would even say mundane. The newspaper articles about her had shown her in a complimentary light. So why had the tide of public opinion turned against her so quickly?

"Well, the article says that in the past four years, you have been deliberately hiding from Terence in order to make him feel sorry for you." And when you knew that Terence had gotten married again, you couldn't bear it and returned to the public spotlight with another man's child,"
