Chapter 1113 The Headlines


    "Sheryl, don''t worry. We trust you," one of the employees of Cloud Advertising Companyforted


    Sheryl. She felt very sorry for her boss to be humiliated in public.


    Working together with Sheryl for such a long time made some of the employees understand her nature


    very well, so they were willing to console her and offer words of encouragement at such a crucial


    moment.


    But their moral support and words of constion did nothing in helping her in that dire situation. The


    majority of people barely knew her or didn''t know her at all. What was worse, some of her employees


    began looking at her with skeptical eyes—doubting her.


    To most of them, "women in power" who were getting involved with different men were considered


    leading a dissolute life. However, one of these so-called "women in power" was Sheryl, who was the


    CEO''s wife, so naturally, certain people would me her out of jealousy.


    Sheryl felt hurt catching the usation from her colleagues, but she maintained her calm demeanor.


    "She is responsible for this design and knows every detail about it. It must be an ident that she put


    her own naked picture in and exposed her secrets. Oh, what a shameless woman!"


    They spoke of her in a hushed tone. Though they were fully aware that their usation was just a


    N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    devious suspicion without any proof, they pretended to have seen through everything—clearly


    revealing their jealousy.


    It seemed to be of human nature that nobody cared whether the photos were real or not. Envious


    people only wanted to see those exceptional and extraordinary women lose face in public.


    With deep animosity, they hoped Sheryl to lose everything in this event.


    "Ms. Xia, can you exin for the photos disyed on the screen?" Reporters made their way towards


    Sheryl, who was already out of the stage, and surrounded her immediately. But Sheryl could only


    notice that they were all aiming at her direction to film her and capture photos of her. Confused as she


    was, she managed to lookposed and collected. She was utterly undisturbed.


    "Who is the man in the photos?" "When did you begin dating this man?"


    "Ms. Xia, please tell us which man you feel happier with. Is it Mr. Lu or this guy?"


    With the intent of exaggerating the whole situation, reporters deliberately raised questions which were


    too oppressive. They wanted to create malicious gossips that would haunt her in the long run.


    "What are you doing? Get away! The photos are falsified. Ms. Xia has never done that!" I defended


    Sheryl and at the same time sheltered her.


    But I''s words didn''t draw at all the attention of all the reporters circling them. Theypletely


    ignored her. They crowded around Sheryl, and I was forced to move aside soonter.


    "Ms. Xia, please exin now that those photos are revealed." The reporters unrelentingly kept


    bombarding her with a series of questions.


    "There is no need to exin it. The woman in the photos is not me." Refraining her anger, she forced


    herself to maintain her calmness.


    "But the photos presented are clear. Are you kidding us by denying it?" Unmistakably, the reporters


    were dissatisfied with her exnation.


    "I..." Sheryl wanted to defend herself, but couldn''t utter any words with so many people around her.


    "Enough!" Charles had stepped out of the stage and walked towards Sheryl, sheltering her with his


    hands and pushing the reporters out. They were stunned by Charles''s cold face and walked backside


    instinctively.


    "Sher has exined to you that the photos are falsified. Is it not enough? What else do you want to


    hear? Do you want to force her to admit what she didn''t do?" Charles eximed in a loud and clear


    tone that all the reporters got mute out of fear.


    "Sher, let''s go!"


    That moment the reporters were inplete silence. Holding Sheryl''s hand, Charles took the chance


    to take Sheryl away and firmly set on leaving all the ruckus behind.


    "Hold on, Mr. Lu! How can you make sure she didn''t betray you? Why do you trust her so much?" A


    bold reporter followed them as Charles just walked a few steps.


    "There is nothing needed to be exined! She is my wife. Of course I trust her!" Charles retorted in


    anger and left with Sheryl immediately.


    He led her at his car, parked nearby. And in no time, they got in. "Charles, you do trust me, don''t you?"


    Sheryl asked nervously.


    Although Charles showed his trust for her before the reporters, she was still worried because she knew


    him very well. She was concerned that he might suspect her deep in his heart. Thest thing Charles


    wanted to know was that Sheryl would get involved with another man.


    Charles didn''t answer her question directly and hesitated for a while before he said, "Don''t worry. I''ll


    handle it."


    Sheryl felt so heartbroken because Charles denied her an affirmative answer and to make her felt the


    worst he only stated "he would handle it!"


    "Charles, I really don''t know where the photos came from. It must be Rachel ying her trick! I have


    never..."


    Sheryl helplessly reasoned to Charles. She told herself that this would be thest time she would


    exin to him. If he chose not to believe her, she would not say anything to defend herself anymore.


    "Anyway, this matter will impact a crisis for both Shining Company and Cloud Advertising Company.


    We should deal with it ordingly and with all our efforts," Charles interrupted.


    Sheryl carefully gazed at Charles'' profile as he never changed his focus and expression. Ever since


    they settled themselves in the car, he spared not a single nce at her.


    Maybe he knew the photos were fake, but they were too vivid that he couldn''t help doubting its


    authenticity. What if they were real?


    As much as he didn''t want to think about it at all, he couldn''t stop himself from connecting the photos


    with reality in his mind and that of his jealousy.


    He couldn''t help being tortured by them, even though he regarded that those images couldn''t be real.


    Deep inside Charles, he believed his woman should only be his. But now her naked body had been


    seen by so many people in public, and what was more, she was lying in another man''s bed!


    Nevertheless, the guests and reporters were convinced not to buy the idea that those pictures were


    modified, even though Sheryl and Charles had openly denied it.


    What they saw was so vivid. Their wild reactions and the gossip they carefully crafted about Sheryl left


    an impact for Charles.


    Everybody had assumed Sheryl was the woman disyed on the screen.


    "Charles, you still don''t believe me, right?" Sheryl inquired bluntly in a small voice. Sheryl could not


    take his silence anymore. The anguish swelling within her heart was threatening to explode. Now, her


    heart was broken. She lowered her head in despair and demanded, "Let me get out of the car."


    "Why? What are you doing? Do you want the reporters to make up some fake news? If you get out of


    the car now, your scandal will be the headlines of tomorrow''s newspapers. Then you will have no


    chance to defend yourself!"
