Too Late, Mr. Billionaire: You Can't Afford Me by Thedora Birnir

Chapter 1229:

“I’ll take it from here. You don’t need to lift a finger,” he said.

Hadley nodded faintly, fingers tightening around her phone.

Thirty minutes later, a tweet from Eric’s official account went viral.

It featured the controversial photo with a bold red “FAKE” stamped across it, accompanied by a formal statement below.

“I was just made aware of the situation. When I first saw Hadley perform at Galant, I was captivated and pursued her. Sadly, I didn’t meet her expectations as a life partner. After nearly a year of dating, we peacefully ended our relationship at the end of last month. We are no longer together, and I fully respect her decision. The rumors circulating online recently are false. The past is the past—let it remain there. I apologize for the disturbance and wish her all the best.”

The post confirmed they had once dated, clarified they’d broken up, and denied all current scandalous implications. Notably, Hadley wasn’t tagged in the tweet.

Just like he claimed, he really didn’t want to drag her into more drama.

Hadley stared at the post, heart conflicted. “Will this be enough? What if the person behind this speaks up again?”
