Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 251 Announcing the Relationship

I never thought Emily would actually follow Arthur back to his hometown.

When Jason brought her back in the middle of the night, she was already out cold, but there were tear stains on her face and her feet were blistered. I was so pissed at Emily then; she knew Arthur was a total jerk.

But I couldn't sleep, thinking about how he treated her again just made my blood boil. I ended up getting drunk alone in the living room.

She came down for water in the middle of the night, and I, pretending to be drunk, kissed her and pulled out that million-dollar contract.

I was such an idiot back then. I knew she'd be heartbroken and desperate after seeing it, and she'd doubt my feelings for her even more. Jason came over and took her away, and I just collapsed on the sofa, unable to move.

When I woke up at dawn, my head was pounding.

When I saw the floor littered with empty bottles and the contract lying there, everything from last night came rushing back.

I went upstairs and took a cold shower, letting the water shock my senses. Suddenly, I punched the wall.

The things I did made me no better than a jerk like Arthur. I was even worse.

I put on my suit and drove to the office.

As soon as I walked in, the people who were chatting in groups suddenly went quiet, sneaking glances at me.

Back in my office, I made an internal call, and my assistant came quickly. She seemed more cautious than usual.

"Good morning, Mr. Windsor. Did you need me?" she asked.

"What's everyone talking about?" I asked, looking at her.

She bit her lip, looking a bit troubled.

"Tell me the truth," I said.

She finally handed me her phone after scrolling through it.

It was a photo of Emily and me. She was wrapped in a towel, and I was shirtless. The picture was pretty suggestive. But my face was pixelated, and hers wasn't.

After looking at it, I handed the phone back to her and told her to call the lawyer.

During this time, I tried calling Emily, but I couldn't get through.

From the moment I decided to marry her, I wanted her to stay low-key by my side, but it seemed that this time, staying low-key wasn't an option.

I immediately drove home to get the marriage certificate and returned to the office, asking the lawyer to issue an official statement on Skyline International Corporation's Twitter account to clear Emily's name. It was the only way. The lawyer got the message and started working on it right away.
