Chapter 494: Love Is Not Marriage

As soon as Susan spoke, the room erupted. It was clear there was more to the story, and for the media, nothing was more enticing than hidden truths.

"Miss Simmons, what do you mean by saying there's more to this story?"

Susan took a deep breath and began, "Actually, Hayden and I are divorced. That night didn't happen the way many media outlets have described it. Those are fabricated lies.

As for Mr. Giron's identity, let me explain. He was my childhood neighbor. We grew up together.

That night, I had too much to drink. He helped me get home, where I slept in the guest room. The housekeeper can testify to this.

As for the video showing me kissing him the next morning, it's not what it seems. It was a simple goodbye kiss, like I used to give him when we were kids. The camera angle made it look much more intimate than it actually was.

When this story broke, rumors spread like wildfire. As a public figure, I know these things come with the territory. But now these rumors are hurting my family, my friends, and even others' reputations. I have to set the record straight."

The reporters were relentless.

"Miss Simmons, you say you're divorced, but you and Mr. Alvarez were only married for a few months. After all those years of being together, always appearing so in love at public events, how could you get divorced so suddenly?"

"Yeah, Miss Simmons, are you sure you're not just using this as an excuse? The video clearly shows you initiating the kiss, and it lasted more than a few seconds. It didn't look as innocent as you're claiming."

"Miss Simmons, if you want to clear the air, shouldn't you offer some substantial proof?"

"You have so many fans who adore you. Don't you think you owe them an explanation? They deserve to know the truth."
