“Belinda! Have you checked the news recently?” Bethany sounded excited over the phone. “There’s been another update on the matter of Lucas and Verena.”

I don’t understand the motive of the person who shared them, but this behavior damages Lucas’ relationship with his wife and tarnishes the friendship between us. It’s unethical, and I urge everyone to stop spreading baseless rumors.”
