After Divorcing my Captain Husband

Chapter 547 Realization

The deeper Zooey scrolled, the more blatant the insinuations became.

Candy had snapped Aaron entering a room at a massage parlor, his arms around a female therapist, caught in the act. Zooey gripped her phone tightly, her eyes fixed on the screen, her teeth clenched.

Despite the low murmurs of gossip around her, the whispers still pricked at her ears, amplifying her embarrassment. Finally, she put her phone down and glared at Chloe. "These photos can be doctored. Why should I believe you?" With the prevalence of celebrity scandal pics and Al-generated images online, she questioned the authenticity of it all. "Chloe, what's your angle in creating these fakes?"

Zooey's voice rose deliberately, aiming to let everyone overhear that the photos were fabricated, hoping to salvage what little dignity she had left.

Chloe shook her head, seeing the absurdity in Zooey's defense. "If I were fabricating these, I would've approached you or Aaron for a payoff right after making them. Why wait until now to release them?"

Chloe observed Zooey, who could barely muster a response and smirked. "If you hadn't tried to provoke me, I would've kept these photos hidden forever."

Zooey fell silent, her face reflecting the dawning realization. She finally waved her hand dismissively. "So what if there are photos? All men cheat. Michael was with other women during your marriage. Men are like that; it's no big deal." Chloe was torn between calling her magnanimous or foolish.

But it made sense-Zooey had always relied on Aaron and wasn't ready to face the truth.
