Chapter 655 Scandalous Photos
People were deliberately sharing and reporting on June’s pornographic photos and videos, and the attention it had gotten on the internet was through the roof. With the netizens actively trying to hype things up, their inappropriate videos became the second most watched content. The most watched was obviously the movie Tiffany had written. At the same time, the couple had also become a sensation on Twitter.
Despite not being celebrities, the couple had experienced what it was like to go viral.
June’s explicit photos were inevitably seen by Cassie. She was utterly humiliated when she saw them. While one of them was a man she was supposed to marry, the other was a friend she had formed an alliance with for personal gain. These two have brazenly linked up and betrayed me!
She took the betrayal badly. It had nothing to do with romance but utter humiliation.
Cassie crushed the newspaper in her hands and threw a tantrum in the room.
Elizabeth heard the commotion and went to check on her. When she opened the door, she saw the place was all messed up. Her face turned grim, and she dashed toward Cassie angrily. “Cassie, what has gotten into you? You were just fine, no? Why are you throwing a tantrum all of a sudden? You’re almost thirty now, so please be more mature, will you?”
Cassie’s eyes bulged in fury, and she threw the newspaper at Elizabeth. “Mom, look at what your future son-in-law has done! He’s now a famous figure, and he’s all over the internet.”
Confused, Elizabeth picked up the newspaper.
When she saw the contents, her face darkened.
Elizabeth couldn’t believe her eyes, and she asked with trembling lips, “Cassie, what’s going on?”
“Mom, the son-in-law you’ve approved was at a hotel with the daughter of the Larsons. They were caught by reporters, and their videos are all over the internet. In fact, their photos are even more famous than the celebrity with leaked photos back then. I bet he’s now the most talked about person in Tayhaven,” Cassie uttered sarcastically.
However, Elizabeth was still unconvinced. “That’s impossible. June is so nice to you. Why would he mess around with other women? It must be a misunderstanding.”
Cassie scoffed and replied mockingly, “Mom, the evidence is before your eyes. How could you say it’s a misunderstanding? Are you trying to be funny?”
Taking a deep breath, she clenched her fists. She was so angry that the veins on her neck were bulging. “Mom, you have no idea what kind of pervert he is. You don’t know how he has been torturing your daughter behind closed doors. He’s just acting like a gentleman, and he has also been acting nice to me. The truth is, he has been in contact with all sorts of girls. He has even gone after Amelia at one point. How could you still say he’s nice to me? You have no idea how silly you sound.”
Elizabeth calmed herself down and asked, “Is what you’re saying all true?”
“Mom, the evidence is laid out in the newspaper. He’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing,” Cassie answered.
After taking a moment to collect her thoughts, Elizabeth said, “It’s all right, Cassie. It’s okay for men to fool around a bit. Once he marries you, you’re going to be one of the Adertons. Women don’t need to marry for love. As long as you marry someone who can provide, nothing else matters.” After a pause, she added calmly, “I can tell June is sincere toward you. It’s okay if he has a few other women other than you. Don’t think too much about it.”
Cassie glared at Elizabeth in response. As my mother, how could she say such things? Is she saying that I should throw myself at June regardless of how monstrous he is?
“Mom, how could you say such things? His pornographic photos are all over the internet, and I’ve been humiliated! Do you still want me to marry him? How about me? Are you even my biological mother?” Cassie asked.
“Considering the situation you’re in, June is the only man who doesn’t mind marrying you. Why are you still so picky?”
At that moment, Cassie’s eyes were brimming with tears, and she was utterly heartbroken. Oscar has abandoned me, and June is leaving a trail of lovers everywhere. Now, my mom wants me to marry a monster because he’s the only man who wants me? What kind of failure have I turned out to be? Why is no one on my side even after what has happened?
“Mom, what do you mean by the situation I’m in? Enlighten me.”
“Cassie, I shouldn’t have said that. Don’t be angry, okay? Calm down.” Elizabeth was so anxious that she ended up rambling incoherently.
