A Wedding Night Gone Terribly Wrong novel Chapter 228

*IfImLyingImFlying: Fame brings drama, Iris. Don't worry about the rumors, just come clean yourself!*

Iris clutched her chest, her heart hammering. The cyberbullying was terrifying.

And it wasn't just the comments. Clickbait articles were spinning wildly out of control, fueled by amateur bloggers eager for views.

*Did Iris Morgan Retire Due to Mother-in-Law's Poisoning Scandal?*

*Iris Morgan Spotted Drinking in Panic Following Family Arrest!*

Some even edited clips from her reality TV shows, twisting her words to narrate Madeleine's crimes.

"Madeleine ruined everything!" Iris screamed, hurling her phone across the room.

Her manager glanced nervously at Holden, giving Iris a subtle look. "Listen, why don't you just take a break? Lay low for a while. Treat it as a pre-wedding vacation. Once the heat dies down, we'll get the endorsements back."

"The industry moves too fast!" Iris yelled, furious. "If I vanish for three months, everyone will forget me!"

Holden stepped in, his voice soft and soothing. "Don't be afraid."

He was always so gentle, so comforting.

"I don't want my career to end like this!" Iris cried.

Holden sat beside her. "If it comes to that, it's fine. You can take over as CEO of Iris-Adams Biopharma. Plus..."

He smiled warmly. "If you leave the entertainment industry, you won't be so busy. We'll finally have time to plan our wedding."

"Holden..."

The dark clouds over her head suddenly parted.

"Marrying you is all I've ever wanted," Holden said firmly.

"Sure thing," the bodyguard replied, following the sales associate to the fitting room.

She browsed the racks, planning to buy two sets for Leland.

That was when Iris, walking arm-in-arm with Yvette, spotted her.

Iris immediately blocked her path, her anger flaring.

"You think you're so special just because you hooked up with Leland? You think you scare us? You used my mother-in-law to attack me and ruin my image. You think you won?"

Iris ground her teeth, glaring at Winifred.

"You're going to be furious when you hear what I got out of it!"

Yvette lifted her chin, chiming in. "Holden is getting married. He's marrying his true love, Iris. He said if Iris quits showbiz, she can finally be his bride."
