When Love Breaks (Josephine)

Josephine didn't mean to criticize her benefactor-it was just that the timing of the acquisition was terrible.

Anyone could see that Forbes Group's stock value was plummeting, with no guarantee of recovery. If the buyer got stuck holding it, he could lose nearly a billion dollars.

But who cared?

The finance world thrived on speculation—maybe this buyer just had a unique vision.

For now, her top priority was to refute the rumors Joe had spread.

However, she needed to be careful about how to clarify things-and in what capacity.

With so much mud already slung at her, revealing her identity as the director wasn't an option. The only feasible approach was to respond as "Mrs. Forbes."

Should she register a separate "Mrs. Forbes" account for this?

To get a better grasp of the situation, she braced herself and clicked on the trending topic "Zayn's Statement."

As expected, the comments section was flooded with insults against her.

The top comment, with 70 thousand likes, read:

"I thought Zayn was a scumbag, but turns out, he's just a lovesick fool who fell for a gold digger."

The second top comment, also with 70 thousand likes, said:

"If you're getting divorced, shouldn't you return the gifts? Selling everything- seriously? That's just greedy."

The third comment, with 60 thousand likes, mocked her endlessly.

"Mr. Forbes is such a lovestruck fool! Mrs. Forbes is practically counting her profits in his face, and he still wants her back? I'd take a dozen men like Mr. Forbes!"

The fourth comment, with 50 thousand likes, joked:

"Haha, even billionaires fall for romance scams. I bet Mrs. Forbes was the one who leaked the video."

And the fifth comment, also with 50 thousand likes, declared:

"If Mr. Forbes had any backbone, he'd report her for fraud and send her to prison where she belongs!"

Gold digger? Romance scam?

Angered by the comments, Josephine hurled her phone to the ground.

Was this the Forbes family's goal all along? paint her as a heartless

a who deceived a

billionaire?

lovestruck billionaire? Genel

Indeed, Zayn had given her some

gifts over the past three years, bet

she never once asked for

he had done it willingly.

Besides, the money she spent supporting him was worth far more than the value of those gifts!

It was a pity she had never cared for social media. Now, she didn't even have an account to clear her name.

Suddenly, a chilling realization struck her.

For three years, Zayn had refused to let the media expose her or allow her to appear in public.

Could it be that he had been deliberately stripping away her ability to speak out?

If she had no platform to tell her side of the story, he could smear her

name however he wanted wheel

went wrong. Content! Belongs

She was reluctant to think so maliciously of Zayn-but everything he had done

since the incident shattered her trust.

If anything, her trust in him had dropped below zero!

As she cycled through worry, anger, and determination, her phone suddenly rang

-it was Mason.

"Ms. Dunn, check the Internet right now-quickly!"

Hearing the urgency in his tone, Josephine's hand trembled slightly.

Had someone else started slandering her?

Or had her true identity been exposed?noveldrama

With a pounding heart, she typed "Josephine Dunn" into the search bar—and to her surprise, her name was trending.

How unusual!

Earlier, searching her name had yielded nothing. All she could find were stories related to "Mrs. Forbes."

But this time, she was trending under her real name-Josephine Dunn.

The headline read:

"Josephine donated all of Zayn's gifts!"

Huh?

Josephine was utterly confused as she read the title.
