The Love I Begged For Was Never Real novel Chapter 114

He didn't ask for a reason. He didn't weigh the pros and cons. He simply used the most swift, brutal methods to throw out the person who dared to humiliate her.

The phone screen on her desk lit up.

Nora walked over and picked it up. It was a message from Janie Fisher.

"Nora! Did you see the anonymous post on the finance gossip forum just now?! I heard Mr. Hayes completely destroyed the Sterling family at the European Commerce Alliance gala tonight just to protect you! Is it true?! That's straight out of a billionaire romance novel!"

A row of shocked and screaming emojis followed.

Janie also sent several screenshots of the forum leaks. The posts described in detail how coldly Gideon had ordered security to drag Seraphina out, and how he publicly commanded the legal team to terminate the contracts immediately.

The commenters were all marveling at the ruthless tactics of the Hayes patriarch and envying the absolute devotion showered upon Mrs. Hayes.

"Everyone at the studio is losing their minds! They're saying you're the true love of his life!"

Nora stared at the text on the screen, the corners of her lips turning up uncontrollably.

Her fingers lightly tapped the keyboard, typing back a simple reply.

"It's true."

...

The next day happened to be the weekend.
