Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After Prison novel Chapter 572

Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After… 

1/5 

Chapter 572 Spreading Rumors 

Christine had thought Meryl was just lucky to become Harvey’s 

student. But now, knowing Meryl’s connection to Galaxy Holdings 

Group, the truth was much harder to digest. 

“If Meryl is truly the wife of the company’s CEO, why hadn’t she 

told anyone?” she wondered. 

Christine pointed a trembling finger at her. “You… you’re married?” 

Meryl’s cold gaze swept over Christine. “Didn’t you just accuse 

me of being someone’s mistress and using connections to get in? Don’t back down now. Why are you shaking?” 

With that, Meryl raised her hand and patted Christine on the 

shoulder. 

“Next time you want to slander someone, at least get your facts 

straight. Oh, and before you gossip about others, take a good look 

at yourself in the mirror. Didn’t you notice your recently fixed nose 

is crooked?” 

Christine’s face fell. Her hand instinctively shot up to touch her 

nose. 

Someone in the crowd muttered, “So her nose is fake? I thought it 

looked a bit odd.”

Another chimed in, “We’re all part of the same orchestra. Isn’t 

it embarrassing for Christine to spread rumors like this? Meryl 

is Galaxy Holdings Group’s CEO’s wife, and she accuses her of 

being a mistress?” 

Christine’s face flushed. She wanted nothing more than to 

disappear. 

Worst of all, she could feel everyone staring at her nose. 

Her plan to embarrass Meryl had backfired spectacularly. Now, 

she was the one who looked foolish. 

The whispers grew more outrageous. Some even speculated 

she’d had her whole face done. 

She hadn’t touched anything except her nose! 

Christine was on the verge of a meltdown. 

Tina Price and Norma Shearer, Christine’s usual allies, began to 

worry. If Christine turned her wrath on them later, they’d be in trouble. They quickly stepped in to defuse the situation. 

“Alright, everyone, break it up! Don’t you all have practice to get to? What if the deputy conductor catches you loitering?” 

The reminder worked, and the crowd gradually dispersed.

Christine wasn’t just anyone; her father was the orchestra’s

deputy conductor. Though they loved gossip, most knew better 

than to push things too far. 

When the hallway finally cleared, only Christine, Tina, and Norma 

remained. 

Thinking about the humiliation Meryl had just subjected 

her to, Christine was extremely angry, her hands trembling 

uncontrollably. 

She’d never been humiliated like this before, and her pride and 

reputation were crushed in one blow. 

Norma tried to console her. “Christine, don’t let her get to you. 

She’s new here. You’re the principal cellist. No matter what, she 

can’t outshine you.” 

Tina nodded in agreement. “Exactly. With her skill level, she 

doesn’t even qualify as an ordinary ensemble member yet.” 

Christine’s expression softened slightly under their reassurances. 

In her mind, Meryl’s position as Harvey’s student could only be 

attributed to sheer luck. 

She had been immersed in music since she was young and still 

wasn’t qualified to become Harvey’s student. 

Christine had looked into Meryl’s background before. She hadn’t

attended any prestigious music academies, nor had she undergone formal training.
