Chapter 185: “Miss Miller, there’s talk online that Mr. Cox is parading your relationship to get back at his wife for her infidelity. What’s your take on that?”’ “Miss Miller, do you believe Mr. Cox’s affections are real, or is this merely a way for him to retaliate against his wife?”’ “Miss Miller, are you planning to continue seeing Mr. Cox?”’ Reporters swarmed around Cathy, firing off question after question. Holding Kristopher’s arm tightly, Cathy answered each question in a gentle voice, “Kristopher is a wonderful man. Perhaps he was wronged by someone who didn’t truly understand him. It breaks my heart. I’ve known Kristopher for five years. Though we spent three of those years apart, our connection is solid. Looking ahead, Kristopher and I will remain close friends!”’ After saying this, she couldn’t resist giving Kristopher a shy glance. The reporters couldn’t resist teasing her. “Just close friends, or perhaps more?”’ Cathy’s cheeks turned pink. “Really, we’re just friends. Let’s not jump to conclusions!”’ One reporter laughed. “Understood, understood!”’ “So, it’s ‘just friends’ until Mr. Cox parts ways with his ungrateful wife, huh?”’ Laughter erupted among the reporters at this remark. Cathy shot a playful glare at the cluster of reporters. “Don’t fabricate anything in your reports. If this messes with Kristopher’s divorce proceedings, I’ll hold you accountable.”’ The reporters chuckled. “No worries, Miss Miller.

Growing concerned, he moved closer to her and noticed she was subtly capturing Cathy’s interactions with Kristopher and the reporters on her phone. Updated stories Allen’s eyes widened in surprise. Once Belinda ceased recording, he furrowed his brow. “Belinda, what are you up to?”’ “Just saving memories,”’ Belinda responded with a shrug as she uploaded the video to a cloud server. She gave him a side glance. “Isn’t it interesting?”’ Allen stared at Belinda’s serene face, momentarily speechless. Belinda was nothing like the rumors had suggested. “Hey, who’s that?”’ A reporter suddenly shouted, pointing toward the elevator. His voice escalated. “Isn’t she Mr. Cox’s ungrateful wife?”’ With those words, all eyes shifted to Belinda and Allen. “It really is her!”’ Instantly, the reporters swarmed like vultures, their cameras trained on Belinda. “Miss Nelson, why did you betray Mr. Cox during your marriage, conceive with another man, and then secretly abort the baby?”’ “Miss Nelson, with Mr. Cox here to collect Miss Miller from the hospital, what brings you here? Are you envious and following them?”’ “Miss Nelson, how do you respond to allegations that you coerced Mr. Cox into marrying you three years ago while he was incapacitated?”’…
