Return, My Love: Wooing the Neglected Ex-Wife

Chapter 759:

She rose to her feet, about to walk out, when the three declared in unison, “No way!”

Fannie pulled her back. “You’re both public figures, and you’ve just started filming. If what happened here gets leaked, it won’t be good for either of you.”

Judie crossed her arms. “So, what do we do? Everyone’s just playing the field. Why take it so seriously? It’s normal for celebrities to have scandals. I don’t need him to take responsibility. I can handle myself.”

Bobby’s anger flared. Judie’s brother had begged for his help to get her into the entertainment industry and protect her from its harsh realities. But here she was, thoughtlessly throwing everything away.

“Fine. If you just want to play the field, then quit this job and go home. Do whatever the hell you want, sleep with whoever you want, and tell your brother I won’t look after you anymore.”

Seeing Bobby’s fury for what it was, Judie reluctantly sat back down.

As the tension around them grew thick, Mayer’s voice sliced through the silence.

“The boss suggested we get involved in a scandal to draw attention to the new show.” He clenched his fist and looked at Judie. “If you don’t mind, we can tell the public that…”

“We’re dating.” Judie blinked. Mayer was an idol, and everyone knew idols weren’t supposed to date. It was an unspoken rule in the industry.

A top idol had recently announced a relationship and faced massive backlash from his fans.

Fannie wouldn’t let him sabotage his career like that, and Judie was sure of it. “You can’t be serious right now.”

But Mayer didn’t look like he was bluffing. “I’m serious. I made a mistake, and I’ll own up to it. Besides, I don’t want this to be used against us in the future. It’s better if we confirm it and take advantage of the situation than let the media manipulate the narrative when it blows up and ruins us. But it might be unfair to you.”

Judie was too shocked to respond.

Fannie turned to Bobby. “Are you okay with that?”

Bobby snorted, his eyes fixed on Mayer.

Of course, he was okay with it. In fact, he had no reason not to be.

Mayer would be too busy handling this cover-up to bother Fannie.noveldrama

And if it turned into a real relationship, Bobby would explain it to Judie’s brother, making sure Judie wouldn’t lose out.

It was a triple-win situation.

Bobby’s steely gaze jerked to Mayer. “You’ll break up when it’s the right time. Until then, you can’t be involved with someone else and make a fool of Judie in the public eye. Otherwise, you can kiss your career goodbye.”

Fannie asked for Judie’s opinion, but the latter asked, “What if he faces backlash from his fans because of this?”

Bobby’s anger surged immediately. “Why are you so concerned about Mayer after what happened?”
