Chapter 713
Amelia murmured, “Yes. He has nothing to do with us.”
The news of Irene’s miscarriage trended. A video of it was even uploaded, showing Amelia shoving Irene and Irene’s body hitting the table and chair.
In the video, Irene covered her stomach with a painful expression as items on the table fell and hit her.
The video’s uploader claimed that he couldn’t stand the injustice and said he heard the pregnant woman in the video had a miscarriage due to the incident, losing her three-month-old fetus.
Then, someone recognized the woman in the video as Irene, the eldest daughter of the Fletcher family and Warren’s fiancee.
Following that, someone found Amelia and exposed her criminal record.
Suddenly, the netizens’ favor tipped toward Irene. Many keyboard warriors scolded Amelia for her viciousness of harming an unborn fetus. Some even threatened to kill and intimidate her.
On the hospital bed, Irene slowly scrolled through the comments under the trending news with a smile. Sure enough, she was the victim in the eyes of the public.
Many people thought that she had lost two children from the incident. Warren would be in the wrong if he didn’t marry her.
Someone even commented on the official Twitter account of York Group, asking Warren to marry her and send Amelia to prison again.
“As long as the public is on our side, even if the York family finds out that the bone marrow donor was not you, they won’t dare to break off the engagement. The York family can’t afford to tarnish their reputation. Besides, it’s a fact that Amelia had hurt you twice. Warren himself was the witness who testified the first time!” Thomas said firmly.
“But… will Irene be happy if she marries like this?” Ivy was worried.
“As long as Irene’s married to Warren, she will have plenty of time to steal his heart. Why are you worried? You know the York family and the Haab family are enemies. How sincere were Warren’s feelings toward Amelia anyway?” Thomas
reasoned.
Irene also said confidently, “Mom, don’t worry. I will definitely find a way to make Warren treat me as before.” Besides, Amelia won’t live long anyway.”
Once Amelia was dead, the truth of the past would be buried.
Irene began to think about what kind of excuse she should give Warren when he arrived.
At that moment, several news notifications from different applications popped up

on her phone. All of them had the same headline.
It read: [The evidence of Irene’s cheating is conclusive. The chairman of York Group had been cheated on. Who is the actual victim?]
Shocked, Irene nearly dropped her phone on the ground.
She hurriedly tapped on one of the notifications and watched the news. The video showed the bustling street with people walking around noon and buildings on both sides. The facades of those buildings were covered with LED screens, displaying advertisements.
Suddenly, the advertisement on one of the screens transitioned into a covert video recording, showing a man and a woman engaged in a sexual act in a small inn.
Irene’s face turned pale all of a sudden. She recognized that the man and woman in the clip were her and Brayden.
She thought scarily, ‘How can this happen? When was the video shot? Who took it?
If it was played on the huge LED screen on the buildings, didn’t that mean… that everyone had seen it?’
Irene’s entire body shivered as she held her phone tightly. Her pale face flushed red.
She saw many pedestrians had stopped walking and looked up at the screen. Several of them even took out their phones and started recording the video.
“Who is it? Who’s trying to ruin me? What should I tell Warren?” she thought anxiously.
Irene panicked.
At that moment, Thomas and Ivy finally noticed that their daughter was acting. strangely. Ivy stepped closer to her and asked, “What’s wrong? What are you looking at?”
Anger marred Ivy’s countenance when her gaze dipped to her daughter’s phone. “What… What’s going on? Who did it? Hurry and find someone to take down and destroy the news and videos before Warren sees them!”
Thomas also stepped forward in a hurry and grabbed her phone. Rage twisted his features after watching the video. “Isn’t it enough that you got pregnant? Why did you let someone take such/videos?” he scolded angrily.
“I… I don’t know! I don’t know this video even exists?” Irene asked in a panic, “Dad, what should we do? Warren will surely find out about this news and video. What… What should I do?”
She was most concerned that her marriage to Warren would fall through and that she would lose the chance to be the young lady of the York family.
It took her a long time to reach where she was. She couldn’t fall at the last hurdle.

“It must be… Rosalie, who framed me! Isn’t she Amelia’s friend? I’m sure she’s the one behind it!” Irene’s eyes gleamed with resentment.
“Why does Rosalie have to be such a meddler and ruin me like this?” she
wondered grudgingly.
“Rosalie?” Thomas’ heart dropped as he remembered the day Rosalie barged into the ward with Jonathan, the local tyrant of Strico, by her side.
The Youngblood family of Strico was an even more fearsome existence than the York family.
If he messed with the York family, the Fletcher family might get away with it. However, if he offended the Youngblood family, it was unlikely that they would survive.
“We still don’t know whether Rosalie is the one behind this, but at least for now… let’s focus on appeasing Warren,” Thomas suggested. “As long as we have Warren on our side, we still have a chance.”
In the hotel suite, Warren was also watching the video Irene had just seen.
The man and woman in the clip were engaged in an intimate act that could only be done between the closest people.
Yet, the woman in the recording was his fiancée, whom he would marry in a few days. He should be furious upon watching such a video.
Strangely enough, he didn’t feel anything. It was as if he was watching a joke or a farce.
He merely felt like a clown.
Even when he scrolled through the comments beneath the video, he saw many netizens comment about him. They called him the Magnanimous Cuckold for trusting Irene so much that he wanted to marry her despite not knowing whether the baby Irene miscarried was even his.
