You Cheated I Moved On novel Chapter 4

By Julian’s bedside, Jane let her lashes flutter down, anxiety weighing heavily on her features. “Julian, what if Chloe refuses to delete those reports?”

Julian patted her hand gently to soothe her, his tone steady with unwavering confidence. “Chloe keeps her word. Don’t worry.”

His trust in Chloe soured Jane’s mood. She forced a weak smile, masking her resentment. “I guess I was overthinking.”

Julian was certain Chloe would obey.

Over the past five years of marriage, she’d never turned down a request—always compliant, always eager to please.

Jane, however, seethed with frustration; the thought of Chloe snatching her favorite jewelry as a price for deleting the posts made her blood boil.

Suddenly, Jane’s phone rang, cutting through the silence.

She picked it up, her voice soft with concern. “Nina? What’s wrong?”

Color drained from her face as she listened, her eyes widening in stunned disbelief. “What did you say?”

Once the call ended, Jane dissolved into tears and threw herself into Julian’s arms.

“What’s happened?” Lauren hurried over, rubbing her aching lower back and hovering near Jane with concern.

Julian wrapped his arms around Jane, concern etched on his face. “Tell us what’s wrong.”

Sniffling, Jane recounted her friend’s words.

“Dozens of tabloids are saying I’m having an affair with you. They posted photos, and now everyone online is attacking me.”

She pulled out her Instagram and handed it to Julian.

Julian scanned the feed, his jaw tightening with anger.

Tabloids hinted heavily at their relationship, sharing screenshots from Jane’s posts. Comments flooded in.

[You can tell that’s Julian even without a full face! He was on a business trip in Houston last month, and Jane’s location was there, too.]

[Disgusting! A war correspondent acting as a homewrecker?]

[They were trending yesterday—this rumor is probably true.]

Backlash hit both of them—Jane faced relentless online attacks, while Julian was branded a cheater and dragged through the mud.

At 28, he’d never endured such public humiliation.

He grabbed his phone and called his assistant, ordering an immediate investigation into the leak.

Minutes later, the assistant called back.

“Mr. Summers, all the tabloids got the story from Grapevine Entertainment. They specialize in digging up celebrity gossip and privacy.”

“Make them stop—whatever it takes,” Julian snapped.

“We’ve contacted them, but the story’s spread too fast—the damage is irreversible.”

Even if Grapevine Entertainment retracted it, countless people had already shared the posts, leaving Julian and Jane to swallow the insult in silence.

Julian slammed the phone down in fury. Jane and Lauren exchanged nervous glances, neither daring to speak.

“I told you not to post those things online,” Julian snapped, frustration edging his tone as he shifted blame to Jane.

Jane simmered with anger, too. She was the real Mrs. Summers, yet forced into hiding because Julian craved his grandfather Logan Summers’ shares—even forbidden from quietly showing affection on Instagram.

A chilling thought crossed her mind.
