“Trending?” Grant asked, puzzled. Noticing Luna’s phone screen was still on the trending tab, he snatched it away.
“Grant?”
He impatiently refreshed the page twice. The hot topic about the two of them getting their marriage license had already been pushed down, replaced by a video personally posted by Xander!
Grant’s heart skipped a beat, a bad feeling creeping in. With trembling fingers, he tapped to play it.
Xander’s sharp gaze locked onto the camera, his voice firm and clear with every word. “In light of the false rumors about me since the summit, I want to set the record straight for everyone.
“I have no relationship whatsoever with Aurora’s founder, Grant, and his wife, Luna. “I have no relationship whatsoever wi Everything before was just me misjudging people and being exploited for sympathy.
“I’m making this clear now. If either of them tries to profit or ride on my reputation again, come to me first. I won’t let them off easy!”
In just two minutes, Xander cut straight to the chase, completely severing ties with them and leaving no room for misinterpretation.
Luna covered her mouth. “No way. That video can’t be real. How could Mr. Stone do something like this?”
She scrambled to grab her phone back and call Xander. “I’m calling him. I’ll get him to explain this to everyone.”
“This is fake? You’re saying it’s fake?”
Grant pushed her hand away and slammed the trending headlines in front of Luna’s eyes-
“Mr. Boone shares Mr. Stone’s video.”
“Smart Drive announces termination of cooperation with Grant and his team.”
“Jindiwood Oncology Center declares suspension of projects with Grant and his team.”
Luna felt the blood drain from her face, staring in disbelief at the chaos unfolding before her.

The message echoed Xander’s. He had never supported or endorsed Grant, and all the ‘talent scout‘ hype was nonsense.
At the same time, both Smart Drive and Jindiwood Oncology Center released official statements, citing Grant and Luna’s misconduct as the reason for cutting ties.
Suddenly, the whole internet exploded with debate, the discussion volume skyrocketing at lightning speed.
[Oh my God! Mr. Stone actually spoke out personally! This is the first time I’ve ever seen him post on social media! Is he in trouble or something?]
[Ridiculous. Mr. Stone’s health is rock solid! But yeah, it’s unusual. How did this couple get on his bad side? He’s always so low–key, never makes a fuss like this.]
[Obviously, they’ve been riding his coattails, trying to cash in on his reputation and score a massive contract with Dudbein–rumor has it, worth hundreds of millions! They totally treated Mr. Stone like a stepping stone. Who could stand that?]
[No wonder at the summit, they were all over Mr. Stone, but he didn’t even glance their way. I thought he just hated that scene, but looks like Mr. Stone simply refused to engage with them!]
[Even Mr. Boone and the Smart Drive CEO chimed in. Something must have gone seriously wrong behind the scenes!]
[They love to show off–getting pregnant, rushing to get their license, acting like celebrities chasing clout. Serves them right! Now they’re getting backlash!]
[They have terrible character! First time I’ve ever seen official statements calling someone out like this. I’m so curious what kind of awful things they did!]

“Luna, what the hell did you do?”
Grant trembled, his eyes
bloodshot.
“I–I don’t know! I didn’t do anything! This isn’t
my fault!”
Luna was shaking hard, too. She was scared, flustered, but mostly in disbelief.
She couldn’t believe Xander would choose this exact moment, her big day to get married, to strike back at her!

Grant grabbed the retreating Luna by the arm, fury burning in his eyes. “You kept saying you were close with Mr. Stone. You told me that once we got our license, he’d finally drop all his suspicions and prejudices against me!”
