Chapter 449 How Much Longer Should Her Torment Last?
“This article is proof!”
“Article?” Declan’s features twisted into an unamused glare. “I can write a hundred of those fake articles with a slightly different bend. People don’t even have to attach their real names to half of this trashy fake news now, let alone do old-fashioned things like corroborating it with solid evidence.
“Honestly, who gave you the right to harass someone innocent over some tabloid’s piss-poor excuse of

“You’re all right, Miss McKinnon. Ain’t no reason to play nice to *ssholes, right?” he replied reassuringly. “Wait, Miss ‘McKinnon’? Her name is McKinnon!?”
“What’s that to you, news as well?” Declan clapped back. “Should I call the cops and have them read her personal information to you too?”
The woman finally quaked. Her friend tugged on her shirt, and they left in embarrassment.
Deirdre fought back her tears. It felt like a crater had erupted from the inside of her skull. She had to calm herself down with several deep breaths before muttering, “Mr. King, what is going on?”
Declan was just as confused. “Someone’s got their eyes on you.”
“What does that mean?”
“Someone must have recognized you while you were walking around the hospital, taken your picture, and sold it to fake news agencies with sh*tty rep. They made a big story about you being Brighthall’s ex-wife, and you’re now back here ‘trying to get together again.”
“You know what the media is like nowadays. They will publish anything to get views and clicks. This is especially true when one of the protagonists is at his most milkable moments right now, so with your story, they spread it out like it was the plague.”
Deirdre felt her head spinning. “You’re telling me it’s already out there? The news?”
