Story: His Ex Was the Wife

It also included Nick and Damian’s paternity test results, as well as a timeline comparison that proved he had cheated on me with his ex-wife while I was pregnant.
I included video clips from that day at the filming location, when they falsely accused me of wearing a fake sapphire necklace and purchasing the car with stolen company funds.
I’ve also attached the payment proof from the auction where my father purchased the sapphire necklace for me.
There was also video footage of our later confrontation, in which they attempted to take possession of my car for no reason.
The article was lengthy, detailing how, over the years, he abandoned me ninety-nine times for ridiculous reasons involving Gianna.
It sparked outrage, and Gianna’s fans began to unfollow and turn against her.
The reality show was suspended, and all of her previous TV dramas were removed.
Then a second trending topic emerged.
[Ashford Group’s Public Offering is in jeopardy, CEO Nick Ashford loses clients’ trust, all projects demand contract termination, face massive compensation payments.]
Another trending topic quickly emerged: [Ashford Group’s Financial Director Embezzles Large Sums for Illegal Gambling; How Will the Company Overcome This Crisis?].
Cole’s phone rang suddenly, just as we were enjoying the spectacle.
He turned it on speaker.
Nick’s anxious voice rang out immediately, “Mr. Harrington, did Helen suddenly tell you to stop all of our collaborations? Do not listen to her nonsense. There is nothing between us. I was planning to remarry her.”
Cole responded indifferently: “Oh, I’ll ask her about it later.”
“Mr. Harrington, what’s with all these penalty fees? How did our building materials suddenly become non-compliant? We’ve been using the same standards for years. How are they not meeting the requirements now?”
“Oh, the government has set new standards for construction safety. Perhaps you’ve been too preoccupied reuniting with your ex-wife to notice the news?”
“Mr. Harrington!”
Nick tried to continue, but Cole cut him off.
“That is enough. If you have any other questions, please contact my assistant. I need to leave now.”
He hung up without any courtesy.
My phone rang shortly after, and I knew it was him without looking.
I did not respond and blocked all of his contact information.
Seeing this, my father couldn’t help but give me a thumbs up.
“As expected of my daughter, you inherited my excellent genes.”
My mother gave him a side-eye and said, “Mine, too.”
My father apologised and smiled, “Yes, yes, mostly from my precious wife’s superior genes, and a small part from mine.”
Looking at our happy family scene, the dark cloud in my heart lifted completely.
“Dad, for the final act, it’s your turn to make an appearance.”
“Great! How could such an interesting game not include me!”
Three days later, my father held a grand banquet to reveal my identity to the community.
The event was attended by prominent figures from a variety of fields, including members of the mainstream media.
