Sophia walked away before Michael could reply. She was afraid that she might hear an answer that would disappoint her.
When Celine heard the news, she came back too. She comforted Sophia by saying, “It has nothing to do with her losing her memories! Back then, Irene believed that Mikey had no future because he refused to join the army and left to pursue a career in the film industry! Moreover, that little brat, Nate, was a burden she wasn’t willing to bear. Since she couldn’t find an excuse for their breakup, she pretended to have amnesia. Mikey knows that. Don’t worry; he only has eyes for you.”
…
Sophia smiled weakly. The stitches on the wound in her mouth had not been taken out yet. Of course, I know that. But, Irene wants to return to Michael’s side now. If Michael is swayed by her…
Justin and Nathan, who were close by, had the same cold and indifferent look on their faces as they coolly watched the two women chatting.
Haha…
During that time, Michael stayed in Bayside City to keep Sophia company. He did not go anywhere else. Sophia rested at home for two days before going back to work—even before the stitches in her wound were taken out. She was rushing to set a good performance record for the year in preparation for New Year’s.
When she arrived at the company, she noticed that everybody was secretly talking about her behind her back. She knew what they were talking about but couldn’t be bothered to do anything about it.
As soon as she arrived, Sarah ran up to her. “Sofie, you’re here! Quickly; look at the news!”
Sophia knew that the entertainment news had been buzzing recently, but she was too lazy to look at it. Even so, Sarah pushed her phone in front of Sophia’s face. “Sofie, look! Look! The media has gone overboard with this! You should file a complaint!”
Photos of Sophia’s swollen and makeup-free face had been published in entertainment magazines. In the photo, her brows were slightly furrowed. It was a full-frontal photo taken in high definition and was unedited. She had just finished her operation, and her condition had been poor at the time. However, that photo had been secretly taken and spread all over the entertainment news. Not only were her bare-faced photos circulated on the internet, but they also had ridiculous captions attached to them such as ‘Sophia Edwards Panicking At the Scene of Irene Weber’s Accident’ or ‘Sophia Edwards Suspected of Deliberately Causing Harm; Arrested by the Police for Investigation’.
Sophia knew the media would report the incident indiscriminately. Besides, she just couldn’t bring herself to care anymore. On the other hand, Sarah cursed at the reporters while reading the news. Then, she refreshed the page and discovered that all the news was gone; even Sophia’s swollen, bare-faced photos were gone. Everything had probably been deleted.
Even so, the netizens seemed convinced that Sophia had pushed Irene down the stairs. In a short while, all of Sophia’s public social accounts were overwhelmed by thousands of people. These people included Michael’s disappointed fans, Irene’s furious fans, as well as her own fans. These groups of people gathered together, and the atmosphere online was very lively.
Knowing that Sophia was not in a good mood today, Stanley let her off early. Thus, she packed up and went home in the afternoon.
When she returned home, Michael was not at home. So, she had a simple lunch before taking an afternoon nap. Unexpectedly, she picked up her phone to check the time after waking up from her nap and saw a pop-up notification on her phone stating, ‘Secret Meeting Between Taylor Murray and Irene Weber Revealed—Old Flames Rekindled!’
Curious, she clicked into the news and saw a high-definition photo that was secretly taken. Inside the photo, Michael and Irene were sitting in a café and seemed to be having a happy conversation… The comments attached to the news article were full of blessings such as ‘Get together!’, ‘What a matching couple!’, and ‘Divorce Sophia!’.
Within the span of a few days, the media had hyped up the history of love between Michael and Irene. The media reported that they were childhood sweethearts that were very much in love. The media also reportedly claimed that they had gotten back together after missing each other for eight years. Even if they were secretly photographed on a date together, nobody had any issues with it, and their fans were encouraging them to get back together.
Haha…
