Contract Marriage with My CEO Boss

Chapter 134

arms crossed, a look of barely contained frustration on his face.

A month later, the family of four was in their living room watching the television, the news anchor's voice cutting through the tension like a knife. Katrina sat on the couch, Theo nestled in her arms while Clarence played quietly on the floor. Kylan stood by the window, his "...In a shocking twist, Isabella Stone, the former personal assistant of Kylan Ross, has claimed she was wrongfully accused of orchestrating the attack on his wife Katrina Ross. Isabella's legal team has released a statement, citing her as a victim of a targeted." Katrina tensed, her grip on Theo tightening slightly. She glanced at Kylan, whose jaw clenched as the broadcast continued.

The screen switched to footage of Isabella in her prison uniform during a recent interview. Her expression was one of practiced sorrow, her words dripping with manipulation.

"I loved Katrina like a sister," Isabella said, her voice trembling. "To be accused of something so vile, of attacking her, it breaks my heart. The truth is, I'm being used as a scapegoat. Kylan had always been close to me. When I started working, he was seducing me. He tried to do what he did to his wife before. And I didn't know anything about him being that manipulative. Kylan Ross is a billionaire. He can do whatever he wants. When we..." Isabella paused to control her sobs. "When we went on a business trip, he drugged me. He..." she paused again.

The camera cut to reporters, who were shocked at her revelation.

"After everything failed, Kylan Ross turned the media against me, and now I'm paying the price for his lies." She looked at the camera with tears falling from her eyes. "Katrina... I know you loved Kylan so much. But don't let yourself be deceived."

The screen then switched to the headlines casting doubt on Katrina and Kylan's claims.

"She's playing the victim card again," Katrina muttered, her voice low but filled with anger.

Kylan turned, his eyes narrowing at the screen. "She doesn't just play the victim, she's a master at rewriting the narrative."

The anchor continued, "Despite her imprisonment, Isabella's claims have sparked debates online. Public opinion remains divided, with some questioning whether the couple fabricated the allegations to protect their own interests."

"That's it," Kylan said, his voice sharp. He grabbed the remote and turned off the TV. "We're not letting her win this."

Katrina nodded, her mind already racing. "She's counting on her image to sway people, but we have the truth on our side. We just have to show it."
