Seven Years of Marriage with Jake novel Chapter 87

Chapter 8

In the following days, my situation continued to escalate online.

Streamers posted videos and statements, fiercely condemning me. The comment sections were flooded with insults, tearing me apart.

To avoid further trouble, I stayed inside, waiting.

Waiting for Richard to uncover the truth.

Finally, one night, explosive news spread like wildfire.

"The city's richest man, Richard, has turned himself in after killing his wife and brother. He is now in prison!"

As soon as the news broke, it went viral.

At the same time, the Williams Group's official account released a pre-recorded video from Richard.

The video was concise, revealing the truth.

Richard stated that I had been falsely accused and that Jessica had maliciously fabricated everything.

He revealed that Jessica and his brother had been involved even before their marriage. In fact, the child Jessica was carrying was his brother's.

Unable to accept this betrayal, Richard took their lives with his own hands.

At the end of the video, Richard bowed deeply, sincerely apologizing and clearing my name.

The video caused an immediate uproar.

Bloggers who had previously attacked me either deleted their posts or issued new apologies.

In the comments section, those who had previously insulted me began to apologize, with many expressing sympathy and suggesting I start an account so they could offer their support.

Even James, who had separated from me and filed for divorce, showed up at my door.

When I opened it, James stood there, remorseful, apologizing profusely: "Mary, I know the truth now. I'm sorry for how I misjudged you."

His apology was sincere, but it didn't move me at all.

I looked at him calmly and said: "Don't you think your apology is a bit too late?"

"James, we've been married for years. Don't you know who I am?"

"We've shared a life together. How could you believe such terrible things about me based on the accusations of others?"

No matter how much Richard and others misunderstood or slandered me, I didn't care.

Because they didn't matter to me, and their opinions couldn't hurt me.

But James's attitude was different. It cut me deeply.
