Novel & Cerita Magkapatid Scandal

He set his glass down, walked around the table, and turned his tablet toward me instead, sliding it across the wood until it stopped in front of my plate. My whole body went cold before I even fully processed the image. The rooftop. Jace's hand on my jaw. Us, caught mid-kiss at an angle that left absolutely nothing ambiguous, blown up across what looked like every local news outlet at once, a headline running underneath in bold red letters: **SCANDAL THREATENS MONROE CAMPAIGN — SENATOR'S SON IN SECRET RELATIONSHIP WITH RIVAL'S SON.** "Where did this even..." I couldn't finish the sentence. My hands had gone numb around the edge of the tablet.

Today, there was a new scandal. Based on the scandal, I was an illegitimate child of the current president of Michaelson Real Estate, Finn Michaelson. And my mother, Jessica, was exposed as well. For a moment, my scandal overshadowed Oogway's scandal. At the same time, reporters reorganized the relationship between Dave, Teresa Michaelson, and I. Immediately, they figured out a campy story where two sisters were fighting over a man. Reading the news, I felt extremely complicated in my heart. And I had many confusions.

Camila collapsed on the spot, slumping in her chair and crying incoherently. Maria, under immense psychological pressure and overwhelming online condemnation, suddenly turned pale. She clutched her stomach and let out a painful scream. “Ah! My stomach… it hurts…” Blood began to flow down her pant legs—premature labor! The scene instantly fell into chaos. Medical staff rushed her onto a stretcher and sent her to the operating room. The hearing was forced to pause. However, public opinion had already undergone a dramatic reversal. During the livestream, Saint World Medical’s stock price surged sharply, closing the day at the upper limit.

“I think we are not looking at this the right way. If want to handle this matter strategically, we want to start by knowing why who dug out the scandal dug it out in the first place.” Damnit. Goddamnit. I hated that he was right the first moment he spoke. Mr. Hardman turned to him. “What are you talking about?” He leaned forward. “If this scandal got out the moment the recent project started flying, doesn’t that call for a cross examination of our oppositions? It could be that a neighbouring company is feeling threatened.” “Seconded,” Patrice sat up. “Sarah Fay reported told me last night that some of the Coutours in Wall Street are capitalizing on the scandal to make sales.”

And underneath it, the headline that made her stomach drop: “Elite Power Couple or Secret Lovers? High-Profile Figures Caught in a Scandalous Affair!” Margaret’s blood ran cold. Her hand trembled as she grabbed the remote and turned up the volume. “Though their identities remain unknown, this mystery affair has the entire city buzzing. Some are speculating that this could be a massive corporate scandal involving well-known figures. Others believe this might be linked to the ongoing controversies surrounding Winters Corp…” Margaret’s head spun at the mention of winter corp.

“We’ve weathered storms before. We survived recessions, bad press, and all sorts of other things. This company doesn’t get to crumble because of one scandal.” But even as the words left my mouth, they sounded hollow. I was a silly child hoping to still keep his candy after it fell in the ditch. Another director, Patel, adjusted his glasses and sighed. “Dean, with respect, this isn’t just one scandal. Evelyn is in prison for life. Richard Caldwell’s testimony revealed decades of fraud, and now he’s gone… bless his soul. Your brother was involved in so many scandalous things and is now locked up in a rehab facility. The name ‘Caldwell Holdings’ is toxic. The clients who haven’t pulled out yet

As soon as Marco fell asleep, the butler came to fetch me, just as I expected. “Your father would like to see you.” I slipped out of bed quietly, making sure not to wake Marco. “Was it you who leaked this video?” My father asked as soon as I entered the room. The screen displayed footage of several men r.aping underage girls. “Do you understand what this means, Harper? In America, the elite, the mafia, and politicians are intertwined. Our family has never been involved in exploiting girls, but if our partners are caught up in this scandal, it will affect us too. We're an interest group, and if they go down, our family goes down. This isn’t a game, Harper.”

"The NCCC said they would send them to me after the call." As they waited for the documents to arrive, Alexander couldn't help but feel a sense of paranoia creeping up on him. The same person who had orchestrated the false scandal with Harley Smith was now after him again. But who could it be? And what did they want with him? As the minutes ticked by, the tension in the room grew palpable. Finally, the sound of an email notification broke the silence, causing both friends to jump. "It's them," Alexander said, quickly pulling up the email on his computer. As he scrolled through the documents, his eyes widened in shock and disbelief. There were emails, financial records, and even personal phot

"Three potential contracts on hold pending resolution of this matter." I opened the folder, my jaw tightening as I saw the names. All major deals, and all worth millions. "They'll come around once the initial shock wears off." "Will they?" Margaret spoke up from the other end of the table. "Or will they take their business to competitors who aren't involved in sex scandals?" "It's not a sex scandal." I kept my voice level. "It's a relationship between two consenting adults." "One of whom is young enough to be your daughter," Marcus shot back. "The optics are terrible, Trenton. You have to see that."
