After Jason heard what Alicia had to say, the smile in his eyes deepened. “That’s actually a great idea. I happen to have a photo of Adam with Rosalie’s assistant and another of Victor with her.”

That assistant had long been on Victor’s payroll, and the two were secretly involved.

While she wasn’t romantically linked to Adam, she still answered to him and regularly passed along information.

Over the years, she had repeatedly stirred up trouble, manipulating Rosalie into causing problems for Jason and his brother.

Jason had already intended to deal with that woman, so this presented the perfect opportunity to orchestrate a scandal while removing the assistant entirely.

After all, in Rosalie’s eyes, no woman connected to Adam could be tolerated.

Alicia smiled. “Well done.”

She added admiringly, “See, this is why you’re the genius. You catch on so fast.

Jason replied with a light laugh, “Only because I had a good teacher.”

He promptly instructed his group to execute the plan.

An hour later, two headlines shot to the top of the trending list: [The woman behind Adam] and [Shock: Father and son involved with the same mistress?]

The second topic soared straight to number one, not through paid promotion but driven entirely by overwhelming public

attention.

[Wow, this is some juicy gossip.]

[So, both Adam and his son were involved with Mrs. Farrell’s assistant? The wealthy really do live in a different world.]

[Adam always seemed so principled. Who would’ve guessed he’d mess around with his own wife’s assistant?]

[Same goes for Victor. Everyone praised him as a gentleman, yet he’s secretly entangled with his stepmother’s aide.]

[Do you think Mrs. Farrell knew about this?]

[She must have. Maybe she even arranged it herself, like some wealthy wives who assign a “companion” to their husbands.]

[Exactly. It’s like something out of a period drama, with maids serving more than one role.]

[And look at that photo of Victor kissing the assistant so passionately. Wasn’t he engaged?]

[Yes, his fiancée was injured years ago in an accident. He publicly vowed to wait for her recovery and never called off the engagement]

[That’s why everyone in their circle saw him as the loyal type. Turns out it was all an act.]

[Just when you think you’ve seen it all…]).

Before long, more revelations surfaced, all strategically leaked by Jason’s group.

He also ensured the trending topics were forwarded to another socialite who had long been at odds with Rosalie.

Upon seeing the news, that woman promptly shared the links in an exclusive group chat for wealthy wives, making sure to tag Rosalie directly.

[Your husband and stepson certainly know how to keep things interesting.]

[You’re quite impressive yourself, managing to tie them both down with just one assistant.]

[Next time you have a trick like this, do share it with the rest of us.]

The other members, curious, clicked the links and were quickly drawn into the unfolding drama.

Rosalie had always been one to flaunt her supposedly perfect marriage, constantly boasting about her devoted husband, a habit that had long irritated the group.

Now it appeared neither Adam nor Victor was the paragon of virtue she had made them out to be.

Eager to witness her embarrassment, the women joined in, tagging Rosalie repeatedly with mocking remarks and thinly- veiled ridicule.

Rosalie was at a luxury spa receiving a facial treatment when her phone began buzzing relentlessly.

She picked it up and her expression immediately darkened as she scrolled through the notifications.

Opening the trending topics, she enlarged the photos, six in total, examining each one with rising fury.

Three of the images featured Adam with her assistant.

In one, the assistant was whispering into his ear while Adam smiled, his head tilted slightly toward her.

Another had been taken in what was unmistakably a hotel corridor, with the assistant standing at a doorway as Adam opened it, his face clearly visible.

The third showed a rain-soaked scene where the assistant held an umbrella over Adam, her body leaning intimately against

his arm.

The remaining three photos depicted Victor and the same assistant in various states of passionate entanglement, each captured mid-kiss, with one particularly graphic shot showing Victor’s hand slipping beneath the assistant’s skirt.

While the images involving Victor meant little to her, it was the photos with Adam that drove Rosalie into a blind rage.

She sat bolt upright, her face a mask of fury, and stormed out of the treatment room into the lounge area where her assistant was waiting.

Without a word, Rosalie lunged at the younger woman, grabbing her hair and slapping her hard across the face. “You treacherous little bitch!” she screamed. “You dare seduce my husband? I’ll ruin you!”

It had never occurred to Rosalie that the assistant she had trusted for years would betray her so intimately, not only pursuing her husband but also becoming involved with her stepson.

And now, with the scandal publicly trending, she had been humiliated in front of the entire social circle.

The assistant cried out in pain but didn’t dare fight back, desperately trying to shield herself as Rosalie continued to strike her, tearing at her hair and clothes.

Neither woman noticed a bystander discreetly recording the entire confrontation on their phone.

Within minutes, another hashtag began climbing the trending list: [Mrs. Farrell confronts mistress.]

Across town, Adam and Victor were in the middle of a critical board meeting and remained unaware of the scandal until it was too late.

By the time their chief of staff briefed them afterward, public speculation had already spiraled out of control.

Scrolling through the trending list, Adam felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, his fury so intense it nearly blinded him.

He didn’t need to dig deeper to know who was responsible. “Jason,” he spat out through gritted teeth. “It has to be that son of

a bitch.”

Victor’s face also tightened as he scanned the trending topics.

“What is Jason playing at, Dad?” he muttered, frustration edging his voice. “How does embarrassing our family like this help him in any way?”

Victor couldn’t believe how far Jason had gone this time.

A sharp pain throbbed behind his temples as he imagined his fiancée’s family coming across the trending posts.

He had no idea how to explain. After all, the photos were not fabricated.

He had been so careful to keep things discreet, and yet somehow Jason had managed to track his every move.

In their circles, having a mistress was hardly a scandal. The real disgrace lay in the fact that both he and his father had been involved with the same woman, who also happened to be the personal assistant to his stepmother.

Victor knew the woman had never actually been involved with Adam, but explaining that now would be futile.

No one would believe it, especially not when the photos of Adam and the assistant, though less sexually explicit than his own, still radiated undeniable intimacy.

Adam’s voice was cold with fury. “That little snake planned this. He wants to watch us burn.”

And Jason was probably relishing every moment, waiting for them to fall even further from grace.

Adam swiftly issued orders to have the search rankings suppressed.

No sooner had he spoken than the office door burst open.

Rosalie marched inside, her face flushed with fury, clutching her assistant tightly by the hair.

Outside the door, a small crowd of onlookers peered curiously into the room, unable to resist the unfolding drama.

Tears brimmed in Rosalie’s eyes as she stared accusingly at the man she had once trusted completely.

“Tell me the truth, Adam, she cried, her voice thick with emotion. “Are you involved with her? How could you betray me like this

Adam felt a rush of anger at her reckless intrusion.

By storming into his office and creating such a scene, she had all but confirmed the scandalous rumors now circulating online

There was little doubt the incident would soon be leaked to the media, only adding fuel to the fire.

What a foolish, impulsive woman, he thought bitterly, struggling to contain his temper.

“Have you lost your mind?” he snapped, his voice dangerously low. “How could you believe such nonsense?

“Those photos were clearly staged, taken from angles meant to deceive. I expected more sense from you.”

Some of the tension seemed to ease from Rosalie’s shoulders. “You swear it? Promise me there’s nothing between you.”

Adam drew a slow, steadying breath. “I promise. My relationship with her is strictly professional.”

At once, Rosalie released her grip on the terrified assistant and flung herself into Adam’s arms.

“Oh, darling, I was so afraid,” she wept against his chest. “I knew you would never do this to me.”

Adam held her stiffly, thinking with contempt, ‘If you truly believed that, you wouldn’t have dragged her here and made us both a public disgrace.
