40 A Tangled Web of Accusations 

The release of Emma’s statements sent shockwaves through the entire community. People were stunned, reevaluating their perceptions of Emma. “Did we misjudge her all along?” became a common sentiment. 

The backlash against Nathan and Alex was immediate and fierce. While many were unclear about Alex’s involvement, his connection to Nathan’s indiscretions was enough to drag him into the maelstrom. 

Alex, feeling the pressure, took to the internet with an apology. “I acknowledge my past errors that contributed to Emma’s damaged reputation. I regret my oversight and will ensure Nathan offers his apologies.” 

Despite his public statement, Alex struggled internally. He was accustomed to flawlessly managing his public image, but this situation was spiraling beyond his control. 

Meanwhile, Nathan’s world was crumbling irreparably. His wife, incensed by his actions, demanded a divorce. The business implications were severe, yet she was resolute, leaving Nathan reeling and deeply regretting his actions. 

“This can’t be happening,” Nathan muttered to himself, refusing to accept the divorce. But his wife’s family was unyielding, their decision final. 

As Nathan’s reputation plummeted, the public’s vitriol intensified. He became the target of widespread condemnation for his actions and disrespect towards his wife.  sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

In a state of panic, Nathan sought out Alex, hoping for a way out. “Apologize? After all this? It’s not my fault,” Nathan protested. 

Alex, incredulous, countered, “You caused this mess. You didn’t verify that photo before releasing it. Apologizing is the least you can do.” 

Nathan, obstinate, refused to accept blame. “I did this for you, Alex! Afterwhat Emma did to you, and now you just apologize? She’ll walk all over us if we show weakness.” 

Alex sighed, exasperated. “If you won’t apologize, fine. But don’t expect me to clean up your mess. I’ve barely salvaged my own reputation. If you keep this up, it’ll look like we’re conspiring against 

Emma.” 

Nathan’s defiance was unwavering. “So what if I divorce? I won’t be bullied into apologizing. Emma thinks she’s won, but I won’t let her have the last word.” 

Alex shook his head, realizing Nathan’s stubbornness would only worsen the situation. “You’re only digging a deeper hole for yourself. I’ve done what I can to distance myself from this debacle.” 

Nathan, fueled by a mix of pride and spite, remained adamant. “I won’t bow to Emma. This isn’t just about you anymore; it’s about standing up for what’s right.”
