A Wedding Night Gone Terribly Wrong novel Chapter 227

Iris was jolted awake by frantic knocking at her door.

"Who is it?!" she snapped, thoroughly irritated.

She had terrible insomnia and always kept her phone off before bed. After dealing with the absolute nightmare of running into Winifred and Leland at the hospital, she had popped half a sleeping pill just to get some rest.

"Ma'am, your manager is here," Heather, the maid, called out.

Her manager visiting in the middle of the night? That couldn't be good.

Iris sat up and turned on her phone to check the time. As soon as the screen lit up, a massive news alert popped up:

*Headline: Actress Iris Morgan's Mother-in-Law Arrested; Rumored to Have Poisoned Biological Daughter.*

Iris gasped. Her hands shook as she tapped the notification and read the article.

"Oh my god!"

She scrambled out of bed, not even bothering with slippers, and sprinted out of her room.

She hammered furiously on the door next to hers. "Holden! Holden!"

A moment later, the door opened. Holden looked groggy. "What's wrong? Slow down."

"I'm ruined!" Iris shoved her phone into his hands.

"This is a disaster! We just got engaged, and your mother pulls this! I told her you were over Winifred, but she had to go and frame her anyway!"

"She... she dragged me down with her! Look at the comments, I'm getting slaughtered online!"

Unable to handle the stress, Iris burst into tears.

She hadn't expected this. When Madeleine got arrested, Iris had actually been thrilled. It meant she and Holden wouldn't have to deal with her overbearing presence anymore. She had even hoped the cancer would take Madeleine out quickly.

*Forever & Always Jewels: Ms. Morgan, tomorrow's event is canceled.*

*Orchard TV: Next week's shoot is postponed indefinitely.*

*Frostbloom Pictures: We have decided to recast the lead role in Shadow of Glass.*

Overnight, every brand that had previously begged to work with her jumped ship.

"Do something! Get PR on this!" Iris cried, looking desperately at her manager.

"If I could fix it, I wouldn't be here at midnight," her manager groaned. "Our PR team got completely annihilated by Lockwood Group's PR. I checked—Leland Lockwood personally authorized the press release. The media outlets refuse to take it down, citing factual reporting."

It was a highly influential news outlet. The article detailed Madeleine's crimes and confirmed her eldest daughter's death. Madeleine's actions had sparked massive public outrage.
