"Josephine, I just saw the news. What's going on?"
"Mrs. Forbes, the news is fake, right? Mr. Forbes loves you so much. He wouldn't do such a thing. The reporters are crossing the line."
"Mrs. Forbes, is that really Mr. Forbes in the video? Could the video be AI-generated?"
When she saw the names of the senders were all tagged with the title of "Mrs.", she found it amusing and pathetic.
Before getting married, these women had their own names. However, after marrying into their high-status households, their identities had been reduced to nothing more than their husbands' last names.
Suddenly, she noticed a message from Winnie. "Josephine, are you alright?"
She could easily distinguish between those who cared for her and those who cared about the gossip.
She quickly replied, "Winnie, don't worry. I'm fine. I'm feeling sad, and I don't know how to deal with this."
"Zayn is such an idiot. How could he let himself get caught? What a moron. Listen, the mistress must have set him up. If you make a scene and break up with him, you'll be playing right into her hands!"
Josephine let out a helpless laugh. "I won't make a scene. Don't worry."
"That's great!" Winnie let out a sigh of relief. "It must be chaos on your side. Go handle them. When you're done and want someone to talk to, call me.
"Also, if you need my help, just tell me. You're like a sister to me. Don't hold back. You hear me?"
Josephine's nose tingled, and tears rolled down her face. "I hear you. Thank you, Winnie."
"Silly girl. Leave him, and be free."
Her phone kept buzzing with messages, but she had no intention of replying. She put the phone face down on her lap. However, she received a call soon after.
She flipped the phone over and it was Joe.
"Josephine, don't worry about this. I'll make sure you get an explanation!"
Unexpectedly, the moment the call went through, Joe gave her a promise in a serious tone.
