The next day, a photo pushed Caden Hawthorne to the center of a storm. When Vivian Lynch saw the photo, she was browsing Weibo and happened to see the trending list. The top ten were all about Caden Hawthorne, and there was even a red "explosive" word. [The Aethelgard Circle Prince Suspected of Infidelity] [Who’s the Woman in Master Hawthorne’s Arms] [Shocking!

With trembling fingers, she clicked on one of the trending topics, and appearing before her eyes was that photo of Caden Hawthorne and Yvonne York at the hospital. In the photo, Caden was holding Yvonne, looking very intimate. Vivian couldn’t believe her eyes. Caden had clearly explained everything to her yesterday; it was all a deliberate setup by Yvonne York. But now this photo was exposed online, making her have to suspect that someone deliberately posted it. Yesterday at the hospital, besides Yvonne York, who else would take such a photo? Could it be they were recognized and a gossip-loving netizen took the photo and posted it online to stir public opinion? At this time, Caden Hawthorne was at the company, still unaware that he was trending. Inside the CEO’s office, Caden sat at his desk, holding a file and reading it carefully. "Knock, knock, knock..." Suddenly, a knock came at the door. Caden didn’t lift his head, "Come in." Only to see Bryan Coleman walk in, hurriedly approaching Caden with an anxious look, "President Hawthorne, there’s trouble. You’re on trend." Caden frowned slightly, putting down the file, and glancing up at Bryan, "What happened?" Bryan’s face was hesitant, "Well, someone online posted a photo of you hugging another woman, claiming you cheated." "Who did it?" Hearing this, Caden was no longer calm, his handsome face turning frighteningly dark. He spoils his wife so much, yet they saddle him with a scandal? Bryan shuddered, hurriedly handing over the phone, which displayed the trending page. "President Hawthorne, look at these news titles... The photo was uploaded online, and now public opinion is one-sided, which might greatly impact the company’s image." Gazing at the photo, Caden’s eyes instantaneously turned cold. He immediately realized this matter might be related to Yvonne York. "Investigate who’s responsible for releasing the photo. Also, contact the PR department right away to suppress this matter as soon as possible." Bryan nodded in agreement, "Yes, President Hawthorne. I’ll handle it immediately." Caden leaned against his chair, his face somber. He hadn’t anticipated that Yvonne York would resort to such unscrupulous means. He must resolve this matter promptly to prevent Vivian from suffering further harm. At the same time, Vivian, at home, was restless. She didn’t know what to do, filled with worry and unease. She picked up her phone, contemplating calling Caden, yet afraid of interrupting his handling of things. Right then, her phone rang; it was a call from Mrs. Hawthorne. "Vivian, please don’t look at your phone; I’ll be back to accompany you soon." Mrs. Hawthorne’s voice was full of urgent concern. Vivian tried to keep her voice steady. "Mom, I’ve already seen it." Mrs. Hawthorne paused on the phone, hurriedly saying, "Vivian! It’s not that I’m biased towards Caden; I know him best as his mother. He would never do something to betray you. You’re pregnant and about to give birth, so please don’t get upset or agitated, and be careful about the baby in your stomach." Mrs. Hawthorne’s voice was filled with worry and urgency, "I’ll be back soon." Vivian smiled slightly, "Mom, I’m not angry, don’t worry. I know Caden is being wronged. When the photo was taken, I was with him at the hospital; it’s obvious someone deliberately posted it to create rumors." Hearing Vivian say this, Mrs. Hawthorne felt a bit relieved. "Vivian, it’s good you think that way. Caden will certainly handle this matter well; you just take care of yourself and the baby. Once I’m back, we’ll find a solution together." Vivian obediently agreed, "Okay, mom, I’ll wait for you to come back." After hanging up, though Vivian appeared calm, she was still somewhat anxious inside. She knew Caden would do his best to resolve this matter, but she also worried that Yvonne might continue to spiral the situation. Meanwhile, Caden was arranging the countermeasures in a tense hurry at the company. He tasked the PR department to quickly release a statement clarifying that the photo was maliciously fabricated, and they intended to pursue legal responsibility against the perpetrator. Caden’s clarification led some to believe him, yet some trolls weren’t buying it and started attacking him. While the photo incident was causing a heated stir, unexpectedly, Yvonne York also clarified online, issuing a video. "Apologies for occupying public resources. I didn’t foresee the situation escalating this far. What I want to say is, yesterday at the hospital, I fainted due to low blood sugar, and Caden was merely assisting me out of kindness. I didn’t anticipate the photo being posted online by malicious individuals, leading to slander and defamation. This wasn’t my intention; I am also a victim. The impact on Caden and Mrs. Hawthorne is due to my oversight. I sincerely apologize to them..." Upon Yvonne’s clarification video, online public opinion became increasingly complex. Some found her apologetic attitude sincere, possibly merely a misunderstanding; others believed she was putting on a show, with matters not being that simple. Seeing the video, Caden’s face grew immensely dark, promptly pulling out his phone, and dialed Yvonne York. "Yvonne York, what exactly are you trying to do?" On the phone, Yvonne’s voice was innocent, "Caden, I’ve already clarified in the video. This matter truly wasn’t caused by me; you need to trust me; I am a victim too!" Caden sneered, "Yvonne York, stop feigning sincerity. Do you think I’d believe your nonsense? This better not be your doing, or I won’t let you off." Yvonne’s tone was aggrieved, "Caden, how can you think this about me? I really didn’t do those things. I just want to calm this matter down quickly and prevent more harm to you and Mrs. Hawthorne." Caden was unfazed, "You’d better stick to what you said. If I discover this matter is related to you, you’ll face a painful consequence." After saying that, he hung up the phone. "Sis, what did Caden say to you just now? He wouldn’t suspect that you orchestrated this, right?" Yara York looked surprised, "How could he suspect you ?" Yvonne York lowered her eyes, with tears welling up, "He’s still angry now; it’s understandable he suspects me." Upon hearing this, Yara leapt up from the sofa, immediately looking indignant and standing up for Yvonne, "Sis, why are you still speaking up for him? He treated you so badly; it’s really too much. If you ask me, you shouldn’t have released a video clearing things up for him, let him face the pressure alone." Yvonne sighed slightly, "Yara, you don’t understand. I did it for the bigger picture. If this matter continues to escalate, it won’t benefit anyone." Yara frowned, "But sis, you’re being too hard on yourself. Obviously, you’re the victim, yet you still speak on his behalf." Yvonne shook her head, "I don’t want the situation to become too rigid. After all, we grew up together. I still hope to resolve this peacefully." Looking at Yvonne, Yara felt full of pity, "Sis, you’re just too kind. Caden Hawthorne is simply not worth such actions." Yvonne remained silent for a moment, a trace of complex emotion flashing in her eyes, "Yara, feelings aren’t that simple. I realize he only has Vivian in his heart right now, but I just can’t let go of him." Yara sighed helplessly, "Sis, why do you have to put yourself through this? Is it worth it for a man who doesn’t love you?" Yvonne’s gaze was firm, "Yes, it is. I believe that one day, he will see the good in me and return to my side." Yara watched Yvonne’s stubbornness, unsure what to say.
