The Wife He Forgot to Marry (Winona and Yule) novel Chapter 508

In her caption, she played the ultimate victim. She bragged about her beautiful, happy family, her thriving career, and her immense wealth, arguing she had absolutely no reason to do something as twisted as animal cruelty.

Then, she claimed she had recently lost her old phone. She suggested someone had hacked her device and logged into her abandoned burner account to post deepfaked abuse videos just to frame her.

Finally, she went for the throat, dropping heavily implied hints that Winona had tried to destroy her marriage in the past. Because her husband had violently rejected Winona, Winona was now running a malicious smear campaign against her out of pure jealousy.

The moment the post went live, Tallulah's die-hard fans mobilized, flooding Winona's comment section with vile insults and death threats.

During her lunch break, Winona opened the app, saw Tallulah's post, and actually laughed out loud.

Tallulah's ability to gaslight the entire internet was almost impressive.

She texted Rhea Sheffield: *"The video Tallulah just posted is definitely a deepfake. Is there any way to prove it forensically?"*

Rhea had been slammed with work all week and hadn't been following the drama. The moment she read up on the abuse scandal and saw Tallulah's slanderous post, she literally jumped out of her office chair in a blind rage.

*"There are a lot of elite teams out there making AI videos that are nearly impossible to spot with the naked eye, but that doesn't mean they can't be debunked! I've handled IP infringement cases involving deepfakes before. I know a certified digital forensics lab that can tear this apart. Give me a second, I'm sending them the file right now."*

Rhea immediately forwarded the footage to the lab.

Winona patiently waited for the results.

She completely ignored the thousands of hate comments flooding her page and went back to work for the rest of the afternoon.

Just as she was clocking out, Rhea texted her: *"Results are in. The video is a confirmed AI composite. I'm sending you the forensic report right now."*

Winona reviewed the official documentation, took screenshots of the most damning forensic evidence, and posted them online. Then, she got into Ezra's car and headed home.

Stefan wasn't back yet, so she ate the dinner Lexie had prepared, played with Biscuit for a bit, and then pulled out her laptop to review some case files.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

It was Tallulah.

Upstairs, Camille kicked open Tallulah's bedroom door.

The second she saw her, she marched over and slapped Tallulah so hard her head whipped to the side.

Having been slapped by Camille multiple times before, Tallulah flinched out of pure reflex, too terrified to strike back, just staring up at her in horror.

Camille sneered, her voice dripping with disgust. "You are nothing but a vessel for this family's heir! The only reason Yulen married you was so the kid would have a legitimate title! Do you seriously think you're some untouchable matriarch?! You cause nothing but chaos! Pack your shit and get the hell out of my house!"

Tallulah bit her lip, not daring to make a sound. She was desperately waiting for Yulen to come upstairs and defend her.

Yulen walked into the room a second later. He saw the angry red handprint on Tallulah's cheek and the murderous look on his sister's face, but all he felt was an overwhelming, soul-crushing exhaustion.

He worked himself to the bone at the office to provide for this family, and this was the nightmare he came home to every night. He just didn't have the energy to care anymore.

Seeing Yulen turn around to leave, Tallulah panicked. She lunged forward and grabbed his arm in a death grip. "Yulen! Camille hit me! She's trying to kick me out! I'm carrying your baby, you can't just abandon me! You're my husband! How can you just stand there and watch me get abused?!"
