Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

Chapter 1325

Valarie pulled out her phone and saw a message from a friend.

[Valarie, you need to check the trending topics online! Jayden just exposed Brandon to the media for being ungrateful to his lifesaver.]

She pressed her lips together, her thoughts momentarily frozen.

After a brief hesitation, she searched for the news.

A journalist had posted an accusation against Brandon, claiming he had neglected Michelle, the woman who had been injured while saving him. Since her hospitalization, he hadn't visited her once.

The comments were scathing, condemning Brandon as a heartless capitalist with no sense of gratitude.

Across the table, Stefan noticed Valarie's sudden pallor. "Veevee, is something wrong? You look really pale."

His voice pulled her from her thoughts. She quickly placed her phone face down

on the table, forcing a smile. "It's nothing, just some news I saw."

Stefan didn't press her further, though his gaze lingered on her phone.

Their food arrived soon after.
