Chapter 452

Everything was like a script polished and rehearsed to perfection.

The sordid footage of Elspeth overdosing in the lounge had just been leaked, and the cops were on her like hawks, swooping in for the arrest.

The big screen cut to the action at that very moment. Elspeth’s face was a mask of mania and despair as she wet herself and was hauled away by the police, her mortifying moment projected in a massive close–up for all to see.

Back during her days in showbiz, she was green with envy of Myra, the leading lady who always got the close–ups, whose face everyone remembered. She too had yearned for the day when she’d receive such attention. Now, she had it. And her infamous breakdown would be the talk of the town, her name etched in history as gossip fodder.

“Good lord. Did Elspeth just pee herself? The high–and–mighty socialite scared to that extent by a few beat cops? Hilarious. Talk about a fall from grace!” “Are you daft? That’s not from fear; that’s a side effect of the drugs!”

“I’m telling ya, this isn’t Elspeth’s first rodeo with the cops. With the Abernathy Group backing her, even if she gets nabbed, they won’t just stand by. What’s she got to fear? I bet she just couldn’t hold it in! How mortifying, haha, I’d rather die than suffering embarrassment!”

As the police dragged Elspeth away, she trembled, her urine continuing to drip shamefully to the floor.

‘Frederic, save me. I’m innocent. I’ve been framed! Frederic!”

Frederic, staring at the dirty puddle and Elspeth’s pitiful state, was too shocked for words. His wife was constantly resetting his expectations, pushing his limits!

“Mr. Frederic Abernathy, I tried to cut the feed, but the Chambers family was blocking our guys from the control.room. Seems like this was a setup, including the police presence,” Dennis whispered to Frederic.

“Set up by whom?!” Frederic demanded, his voice tense.

“I’m not sure yet, but I’ll get to the bottom of this.”

Frederic’s mind was a buzz of confusion, but amidst the chaos, he recalled an incident from over two decades ago.

At TVC’s anniversary gala, Myra had suffered the same public humiliation as Elspeth, live on air! As a VIP guest, he and Emeric had witnessed the whole thing.

Myra’s downfall due to the “doping scandal” was public knowledge. Rumors said she’d been driven to severe depression, with multiple suicide attempts. It was only Emeric’s unwavering support and treatment abroad that helped her escape the dark shadows of despair,

Now, Elspeth’s nightmare unfolded before the audience, and Frederic couldn’t help but sense a carefully orchestrated revenge. His furious and resentful gaze instinctively found Evadne.

Coincidentally, Evadne–and Thaddeus were exchanging loving glances, smiling triumphantly. Her sly, beautiful eyes and barely concealed smile of victory were an insult to him, a blinding offense.

Evadne squinted her charming eyes, bumping Thaddeus with
