Chapter 120 Aprice slander saga
Rose had been feeling that something was amiss since the day of the auction.
But despite all that, she could not rest while her daughter was anxious. Lester was making things difficult as well. He had been directly and indirectly questioning her stupidity for spending that much money without proper investigation.
She spent a lot of money getting the paid trolls to pivot the public to separate Jonathan and Liliana. Jonathan and Smiths would never accept being cuckolded.
Moreover, even if Jonathan had fallen head over heels in love with Liliana, the Smiths wouldn’t agree and the public would point to him as a home-wrecker.
Rose was convinced that there was no way out for Jonathan and Liliana from her intricate trap.
On the one hand, Jonathan and the Smiths would condemn her for cuckolding him and giving birth to some other man’s bastards. On the other hand, she would never be allowed to live with Jonathan when her children belonged to someone else.
Rose thought it was very fortunate that Anne’s goody-two-shoes daughter had ruined herself by having someone else’s children.
The clash might even benefit her daughter as the Smiths could hastily arrange a marriage between Jonathan and Lydia to hide the fact that he was married to Liliana and cuckolded.
They could spin the whole thing by painting Lydia as Jonathan’s childhood sweetheart and child-bride. Liliana would be blamed for being manipulative and marrying Jonathan in Lydia’s stead through some schemes and then not even keeping those marriage vows after separating the two destined lovers.
Rose could finally see the light ever since Liliana had been back.
Rose felt free and liberated as she planned things through.
She instructed her minions to divert the public towards Liliana’s husband and the biological father of her child.
She wanted to draw attention towards Liliana’s husband and her child’s father being different people and Liliana being a promiscuous person in private despite acting all innocent.
She also passed on an ambiguous picture of Liliana to the media where she was seen being carried to a car by an old man with her clothes partially torn. And another similar picture where she was hugging an old man who kissed her head.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
The netizens guided by the paid trolls were once again provoked to curse Liliana and call her names.
The online opinion was against her completely and she was once again in the limelight for her private life.
‘I can’t believe she is such a bitch.’
‘She was a slut even when she was still a teenager.’
‘I wonder if she became successful owing to her sugar-daddies.’
‘No wonder she hides under a veil, she is afraid of being recognized by her many lovers.’
‘I bet her kids are not even her husbands.’
‘I bet she is not even married. She is just using privacy to shield her outrageous behavior.’
‘She is such a slut. Never thought she would be such a vixen under that facade.’
‘President Smith, please distance yourself from her, lest you get some unmentionable diseases.’
‘Yes, president Smith, you should cancel your collaboration with her.’
Liliana laughed out loud when the pictures came about.
She had been waiting for it to come out, or how else would she be able to have her vengeance.
Mariana called her fuming in anger. Liliana spent some time pacifying her and making her see reason.
She could not retaliate in clear conscience without them provoking her first.
Liliana would have forgiven the Aprices for the things they had done to her, but she had found out all the things they had done to her mother and she was not going to let them be without driving them to their utter ruin.
Mariana finally agreed to leave things be and watch the play after she found out she had it all under control.
Jonathan recognized one of the men in the picture as Andrew Jacobsen and he had a bad feeling about how Liliana’s childhood had been. He carefully analyzed the picture and it seemed Andrew was carrying an unconscious Liliana whose clothes seemed to have been torn when she was beaten.
He had known that her life with the Aprices had been bad, she had said as much. But the picture made him panic.
When he combined that with how their marriage had been and how he had treated her, he wanted to castrate himself and whip himself with nails. He was utterly grateful that she had given him a chance.
Unable to handle his feelings, he drove back to their Villa.
