The photo left Vivian speechless, her anxiety palpable. Her heart pounded as she gripped the photograph, her fingers trembling so much that the edges crumpled under the pressure.

Marcelo had tasked Wyatt with uncovering the origins of the rumo, leading to the discovery of Vivian’s involvement.

Given her unique status, Wyatt approached the situation with caution, seeking guidance. “Marcelo, how should we proceed?” Marcelo decided, “Issue a denial on KM Group’s official T*****r. No, better yet, I’ll handle it personally. Set up a new account for me.”

He intended to set the record straight under his own name, marking a departure from his usual preference for traditional communication methods.

Wyatt nodded, a hint of surprise on his face at Marcelo’s modern approach, and left to carry out the instructions.

The lounge, a modest space of 20 square meters, became the backdrop for a tense moment between Marcelo and Vivian. Vivian’s anxiety mounted under his silent gaze, feeling as though she was on trial.

“Marcelo, the woman behind this is a friend who’s supported me in the past. She thought some shocking news would draw attention and asked for my help, so I… I helped her,” she stammered between sobs.

“Marcelo, I realize now how disruptive my actions were. I’m sorry if they’ve upset you,” she pleaded, hoping for his understanding.

Marcelo, growing weary of her excuses yet maintaining a calm demeanor, interrupted, “Vivian, I’m not angry at you.”

His reassurance caught her off guard.

“Really?” she inquired, a flicker of hope in her eyes.

“Yes,” he confirmed, “but Renee is angry at me.”

Vivian’s brief relief was shattered by this revelation, leaving her momentarily frozen.

Was Marcelo confronting her because Renee had expressed her displeasure to him?

“Marcelo, you’ve always been indifferent to gossip. Even when rumors of us circulated, you paid them no mind. I assumed this wouldn’t bother you either.” She tried to pin the problem on his unexpected reaction, aiming to absolve herself of guilt.

Marcelo, in search of a brief escape from the tension, lit a cigarette Previously, he’d dismissed rumors as harmless, but this recent one had driven a wedge between him and Renee.

“Vivian, I’ve told you countless times: Renee is my wife.” His statement hinted at the importance of considering Renee’s feelings.

Guilt surfaced on Vivian’s tear–streaked face. “I’m sorry. I didn’t think it through. I’ll apologize to Miss Gordon.”

He corrected her firmly, “If you see me as your brother, then Rene is your sister–in–law. You should address her as my wite or as ‘Mrs. King‘.”
