The Divorce That Brought Us Back novel Chapter 194

In the video.

The temporary stage in the center's garden, which was supposed to be dismantled, had instead been adorned with an explosion of vibrant, colorful flowers. Bathed in the warm winter sunlight, it looked like a dreamscape.

In the center of the stage, an elderly woman sat elegantly with a classical harp resting against her shoulder. She wore a dark, subtly patterned dress draped in a cream-colored fur shawl, radiating a gentle yet undeniable majesty.

As her fingers plucked the strings, a haunting, classical symphony echoed, filling the air with a sense of resolute sorrow and profound longing.

[Picture] "Raise your hand if you came here from that other video."

"Is this the place? The sisters who fell for the same guy? Why is it just an old lady? Anyone have pictures of the sisters?"

"I saw a picture of the guy. He looks average as hell. I could do better. Any sisters want to hit me up? [Shy face]"

"The comments are unhinged! Did you guys even watch the lawyer's video? This scumbag got engaged to the younger sister while trying to groom the older one!"

"I suggest you all watch your mouths. The grandmother in this video is a national-level harpist who performed on massive broadcasts thirty years ago. She used to be a doctoral advisor at the most prestigious conservatory..."

It was noon.

Nora had finished lunch and was lounging on the single sofa in her studio, sipping an iced coffee while scrolling through the videos.

Three days had passed since the scandal exploded.

Jasmine's personal account, Night Owl Jasmine, had gained over two hundred thousand followers in just seventy-two hours.

The comment section was a wild mix of trolls and lunatics.

But there were also plenty of supportive women offering comfort and solidarity.

Nora asked herself honestly—if she had been the one caught in this media crossfire, she wasn't sure she could handle the brutal wave of public scrutiny.

Years ago, when Bella Monroe and Vivian Cole had drugged her and dragged her into a corrupt official's hotel room, the police only charged Bella for using illegal substances. They didn't investigate the official.

Nora had even been forced to sign a letter of forgiveness for Bella.

Maloney had asked her back then if she wanted to risk the public fallout to crush Bella immediately, or swallow the injustice, close the case, protect her reputation, and find another way later.

Nora hadn't made a choice.

She didn't know how to choose.

It was Maloney who told her to endure it for now.

He explained that once the media got hold of it, the entire university would be buzzing with rumors that she "almost got assaulted by a high-ranking official."
