Chapter 0127
Madison wasn’t sure how long she had slept. Amidst drifting between dreams and reality, turning over several times, she finally opened her eyes for the last time to the afternoon sun streaming through the window.
Judging by the sunlight, it was well into the afternoon.
She glanced around to find herself alone.
Swallowing hurt so much that Madison winced.
Sitting up, she allowed her brain to clear for a moment, feeling a bit -sapped of strength, she eventually shuffled out of the bedroom.
“Ding-dong-”
Her phone chimed. Absentmindedly glancing at it, she froze on the
spot.
The latest news alert was about her.
Clicking in.
The more she read, the darker her expression became.
Her past divorce had been exposed, and not just that, Lucas was dragged into the spotlight.
That would have been enough.
But what truly ignited her fury was that Lucas had actually given an interview to a reporter, admitting that she had cheated during their marriage?
She had an affair?
Moreover, Lucas audaciously claimed that Ethan had used his power

to break into their marriage like a thief, stealing love with force.
The news article didn’t show a video interview but rather a typed transcript of the conversation.
However, it still stirred up a tempest online, and the backlash was all aimed at her and Ethan.
In the study.
“Have you lost your mind?” Michael regarded the man before him incredulously.
With his back turned to Michael and the Mukino International PR Director, Ethan’s voice was firm: “Do as I said.”
The PR Director dared not object and immediately began coordinating
the strategy.
Within twenty minutes, another scandalous headline appeared online:
[Newly awarded Miss X, an actress, had an illicit affair with the owner of an airline during her marriage, secretly forming ties, eventually leading him to abandon his wife for her.]
This news would typically fall under entertainment gossip, but the phrase “owner of an airline” instantly intrigued some netizens with its
curious undertone.
Miss X? Newly awarded?
Soon, the tide of public opinion turned towards actresses with the surname starting with X and various civil aviation airlines.
Behind the scenes, small airline owners who learned the news was leaked by official Mukino International sources started posting their marriage certificates with their wives on F******k to clear their names.

Sorry, I’m still married, not me, don’t drag my little company into this! Small fish can’t afford to get caught in the splash of a showdown between the titans.
After a bustling afternoon, the American internet was in an uproar.
Those with a bit of sense never really bought Lucas’ story. Now they were sarcastically swamping his F******k, nearly giving him a heart attack.
He did give an interview and paid the reporter to keep the video hidden, only releasing a typed transcript.
It was a ploy to threaten Ethan, hoping he would pay Lucas to shut him up.
Life had been getting harder for Lucas with Mukino International’s rising prominence.
Supporting the high-maintenance Sophia and struggling to pay his company’s pilots, he was on the brink of collapse.
Especially after learning Madison had won an international
championship, he was so furious he couldn’t sleep and had tried to contact Madison, only to find she had blocked him.
Lucas gritted his teeth. “Ethan, I don’t believe you can protect Madison forever!”
In his view, it must have been Madison who seduced Ethan. How else could a man of Ethan’s status fancy a divorced woman?
So what if he was the first to cheat?
Did they have proof?
Lucas scoffed in disdain.

The situation intensified, becoming a hot topic of national interest.
The most trending questions were:
Did the first female pilot have an affair?
Was there a transaction of power and sexuality between the Chairman of Mukino International and Madison?
Of course, there were also sarcastic comments: “There must be something shady. How else could a woman in her twenties with little experience be allowed to compete in such a big international
competition? Maybe there are even underhanded dealings in the competition itself! Mukino’s boss sure is willing to spend money on her, huh.”
The sarcastic voices grew louder.
Then, at four o’clock in the afternoon, when the Civil Aviation Administration was alarmed by the uproar, Ethan surprisingly called Hou An. “President Grant?”
“There’s something I need help with.
Hou An couldn’t refuse such a request. “Please, go ahead.”
At five o’clock that day.
F******k was ablaze once more.
Michael’s cousin, Sophia’s ex-husband, personally shared WeChat messages from their cooling-off period and their divorce certificate on his newly activated F******k.
The chat transcript showed his cousin’s calm demeanor: “Lucas is
wealthier and treats you better than I ever could. I know all about it. I wish you happiness.”
Sophia: “I’m sorry, and I wish you happiness too. Remember our agreement not to disclose my private affairs. I hope you keep your word.”
Just a few words were enough to cast Lucas into the abyss and vindicate Madison.
After Michael’s cousin posted on F******k, Ethan immediately had a sum transferred to his account from the company.
The amount was sufficient for Michael’s cousin to pay the breach of contract fee to Sophia.
During their divorce, Sophia forcefully made her ex-husband sign a confidentiality agreement.
But now, to protect Ethan and Madison, Michael reached out to his cousin, persuading him with various arguments.
“What are you up to?”
In the living room of Wood Lake Vastness.
Just two minutes ago, Amelia had been daydreaming for a solid fi minutes, looking at the balance in her bank account.
A fortune! A massive fortune!
On WeChat.
Chairman Jiang: Keeping you around was due to the favor you did. Madison when you cursed out that beast. Isn’t it time you showed your loyalty?
Amelia sprang to her feet, tapping her phone screen fiercely.
F******k, plus sign, type a message, attach photos, post!

The entire process didn’t take ten minutes.
Only then did Amelia answer Jessica’s question with a smile: “From today on, please, call me Madame Zhuo the Rich.”
Jessica: “???”
Before she could grasp what Amelia was up to, the latest update on the affair scandal appeared on F*******.
After reading the entire post, Jessica’s eyes widened in shock: ” Amelia, you… you’re actually not supporting your brother???”
Amelia smoothed her hair, her smile serene: “I’ve always been on the side of justice. Besides, who could refuse money?”
Chairman Jiang had just transferred fifty million to her!!!
Fifty million!!!
Brother or no brother…
Who was Lucas again?
Sorry, Madame Zhuo doesn’t recognize the name.
None of the previous evidence was as compelling as Amelia’s F**** k post.
As Lucas’s own sister, she publicly accused him of cheating during
his marriage.
Suddenly, those who had been slandering Madison as promiscuous shifted their barrage towards Lucas and Sophia of Envoy Airlines, deeming them the adulterous couple.
Michael watched with relish as the netizens unleashed a variety of sarcastic insults with a cold laugh.

This despicable pair, even if they grew eight hundred mouths, they couldn’t wash away their sins now.
