Chapter 450
"Are you suggesting that I should blame myself, rather than you?" The words hung heavy in the air, echoing with a bitter sting.
Mr. Cox, the epitome of nonchalance, lounged comfortably in his chair, a lit cigarette held loosely between his fingers.
"Why so hostile, Getty?" he questioned, a smirk playing on his lips. "Wasn't our encounter a matter of mutual consent? If you had been unwilling, would we have ended up in bed together?"Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
Getty fell silent, her anger only inflamed further by Mr. Cox's audacious demeanor. In front of the camera, Mr. Cox was the consummate gentleman. His approachable nature during filming and his willingness to engage with fans, even going so far as to initiate photo opportunities, had earned him a reputation as a man of the people.
His good looks and undeniable talent had catapulted him to stardom three years prior. He was adored by many, but Getty now saw him for what he truly was. The realization filled her with revulsion. His ability to maintain this facade for so many years was a testament to his exceptional acting skills.
Clutching the blanket tightly, Getty fixed him with a glare of pure loathing. "Do you have any idea who my lover is? Aren't you afraid that Alexander will come after you?"
Mr. Cox's laughter echoed through the room, a cruel parody of mirth. His gaze drifted towards the bedsheet, a knowing glint in his eyes. "You claim to be Alexander's lover, yet you're still a virgin? Could it be that he's impotent?" Getty's face flushed with anger. She hastily grabbed the blanket, using it to cover the incriminating bedsheet. She was so incensed that words failed her.
Mr. Cox attempted to placate her. "Don't be so tense. This isn't a big deal. Rest assured, our PR team will handle the fallout."
To him, this was just another scandal in a long line of indiscretions. As long as the PR team did their job, any scandal could be reduced to mere rumor. But for Getty, this was far from trivial. How could she possibly explain this to Alexander? If he were to reject her because of this... the mere thought was enough to make her feel as though the world was collapsing around her.
In the past, she would have immediately turned to Alexander in times of crisis. But now, she feared the moment he would discover the explosive news about her and Mr. Cox. Both Mr. Cox and Getty were well-known figures, and the news agencies would undoubtedly seize this opportunity to create a sensational story. She couldn't bear to look at her phone. Major entertainment headlines were already reporting on the scandal, and a trending topic on Instagram had been created. The news of her affair with Mr. Cox was being widely circulated, and the story of Alexander's unfaithful lover was gaining traction.
Alexander's Instagram, which was managed by his assistant Kyle, was being inundated with comments and shares about Getty's infidelity. Kyle, who usually used the account to post company updates, was taken aback by the sudden influx of attention.
Initially, Kyle had assumed that the scandal involved Quinn, another of Alexander's lovers. But upon discovering that it was Getty who had been unfaithful, he felt a sense of satisfaction. He had never been fond of Getty, and this news meant that Alexander would likely sever ties with her.
However, he couldn't ignore the fact that this scandal would tarnish Alexander's reputation. With a sense of urgency, Kyle rushed to Alexander's office, laptop in hand.
Alexander had just arrived at the office and was in the process of draping his coat over a chair when Kyle burst in.
"Alexander, there's been a serious development," he announced, handing over his laptop.
"What's happened?" Alexander asked, his tone casual.
"See for yourself," Kyle replied.
Alexander took the laptop, his eyes widening as he was met with a barrage of comments from netizens mocking him for his lover's infidelity.
