The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 458

Ashlynn’s whole body tensed up when she heard that. Her head dropped, and she gripped the fabric in her lap so tightly her knuckles turned white.

Luke’s phone started buzzing again. He answered, listened for a moment, and his face grew dark. Without a word, he hung up and pulled up the trending news on his phone.

Felicia walked over, concern written all over her face. “What happened?”

Luke handed her the phone. “Just look.”

Felicia took it and read the headline splashed across the screen: CEO of Light Chaser Gaming and Actress Ashlynn Caught in Intimate Hotel Encounter.

Ashlynn was already a famous actress, so the moment the story broke, her name shot straight to the top of every trending list.

Before this, there had been whispers about her dating another celebrity. Neither of them had ever confirmed it, but everyone pretty much took it as fact. Fans loved shipping them together and treated them like the perfect couple.

Now, this new scandal basically shouted that someone else had come between them.

There was even a photo. The picture showed Luke helping a girl who looked like Ashlynn out of an elevator. You couldn’t see her whole face, just her profile. It looked like it could be her, but it was impossible to say for sure.

The angle made it seem like she was leaning right into him, almost like she was cuddling up to him. But there was no mistaking Luke was the man in the photo. He’d been to plenty of public events, and his good looks had already earned him a bunch of loyal fans online.

Not long after, another post started gaining traction. This one claimed the girl in the photo wasn’t Ashlynn at all but a TV anchor from a finance channel.

Felicia wasn’t a typical celebrity, but her finance show and striking appearance had made her a hot topic on social media before. Add in the old rumors about her, and people definitely remembered her face.

Ashlynn’s fame had just been used to draw more attention and make the story blow up even faster.

Everything happened so fast, and the rumors hust spread and went viral. It was obvious this had all been planned in advance. Someone had pulled the strings to make sure the story hit the internet at just the right time.

Luke was starting to see it too. Ashlynn was just a convenient distraction.

Now, people were crowding the Light Chaser website, posting comments nonstop and demanding to know if the girl with Luke at the hotel was Ashlynn or Evelynn.

It felt like everyone was trying to force Luke into admitting it was Evelynn, not Ashlynn, just to stir up even more drama about the two of them.

And outside, there was no doubt the hotel was already surrounded by paparazzi and reporters, all waiting for their next big scoop.
