Whispers of betrayal (Selena and Ryan) novel Chapter 157

Chapter 157

“Anastasia… The art exhibition is about to start,” Christopher whispered and took a deep breath.

It was almost time, yet nobody came.

In the past, every year’s art exhibition would be crowded a few hours ago before the opening.

People would come for Alastor, Anastasia’s painting style, or just for Charles. There would always be a massive wave of a crowd.

Even if she became a housewife after graduation, Anastasia’s painting still had a high reputation in the industry.

Of course, although she was highly talented, she had also made a lot of effort.

Yet now, the uproar of public opinion easily destroyed everything she had.

“Anastasia…” Kimberly also panicked. “Is Alastor not here yet?”

Anastasia stood there with no confidence.

In fact, she didn’t care whether others came or not.

There were so many media, yet she did not care if they were here to see her making a fool of herself.

However, Alastor promised to clarify the rumors for her and Charles.

It was Alastor’s promise.

“Ms. Lawson, no one visits your art exhibition up till now except for some students. How do you feel?”

“Ms. Lawson, is it true that you had an extramarital affair?”

“Anastasia, someone said you had an inappropriate relationship with your mentor, Charles. Is it true? Is it true that Mr. Charles Lexington was suspended for further investigation?”

Anastasia stood where she was and looked at the flashlights from those reporters numbly.

In the Digital Era, public opinion was like a sharp blade that could crush people to pieces.

They were no longer living in an era when one could prove one’s innocence by declaring that one had a clear conscience and did not fear accusation.

These people wanted popularity and trending headlines. They would make up all kinds of rumors to get what they wanted Those rumors were like a pool of concentrated sulfuric acid corroding everyone’s face.

“Mr. Lopez hasn’t shown up yet. Are you indeed on bad terms with him due to problems in your marriage?”

“Regarding those indecent videos on the internet, please explain whether you have an incestuous relationship with your stepmother’s younger brother.”
