SWNOVELS Chapter 218
Chapter 218 Just Three Seconds
Aylin put down the silver teaspoon in her hand and leaned in with a tilted head.
Upon taking a look, it became apparent that Twitter was buzzing with excitement at the moment. The top three trending topics
were all related to Sebastian’s name.
After the video of Sebastian and Sally was exposed, Sebastian’s wife filed for divorce and initiated a direct confrontation.
The two of them seemingly turned Twitter into a second courtroom.
The two of them went back and forth, arguing to the point of no resolution!
Sebastian wrote: [I’ve suffered from her emotional abuse and manipulation at home for years, which caused me to lose my
dignity as a man and led to my momentary confusion outside. My heart has always been with my family, but she’s just too
heartless!]
Freya fired back by commenting: [Nonsense! You cheat and come up with so many excuses. If you weren’t so focused on
making money and neglecting our child, would I even have a reason to scold you? You’re useless, and you still expect me to
take care of you when you come back? Dream on!]
“Ha!” Aylin sneered, “All just excuses!
Men who can’t control their lower half are just rotten cabbages!”
Even though he cheated, he still managed to blame his wife for it. When it comes to making excuses for himself, this unfaithful
man is as skilled as a master of short essays!
Freya was probably infuriated by Sebastian’s skill in twisting the truth and making a mess of things, so she retaliated by
revealing several major pieces of information.
It was only then that everyone discovered that Sebastian was quite the playboy. Not only did he have Sally as his mistress, but
he also had several other secret relationships with various aspiring models and D-list actresses!
The third, fourth, fifth and sixth person – there are photos and videos for each one, and even the bills for their expenses are as
clear as day.
Men in the entertainment industry having affairs is nothing new, but it’s rare to see someone so lustful that they completely treat
their wife like a fool!
Upon seeing this, Sebastian exploded with anger.
He never imagined that his wife would go crazy enough to reveal all the evidence, making everyone uncomfortable and bringing
both parties down.
In that moment, he couldn’t care less about returning to his family. He immediately came out to debunk the rumors!
He wrote: [All of those are false evidence, just rumors being spread!)
Also, he wrote: I’m only not involving a lawyer and filing for arbitration in our marital dispute out of consideration for our
relationship. Don’t push me too far by violating my privacy and portrait rights!]
Moreover, he commented: [You’re just like a fierce tigress! Do you have even a hint of the gentleness and obedience a wife
should have?]
Sebastian was so furious that he stomped his feet and sent out several tweets in a row.
Freya had long stopped caring about saving his face and retorted without hesitation by writing: [Pah! You eat and use my stuff,
and you spend my money on other women outside! The credit card you use to pay for them is mine! My dad invested in all your
movies, so what right do you have to demand anything from me? If you could actually support this family, would I need to raise
my voice like this?1
Sebastian hated it the most when people insinuated that he had risen to power only because of his wife. This time, he was so
furious that he almost fell over backward!
The difference in family background and social status between the two was immense, and it was clear to anyone with discerning
eyes that Sebastian must have relied on the influence of his wife’s family to achieve his current success.
But which man is willing to openly admit that he relies on his wife?
Previously, this secret was only known and unspoken among insiders. Now, it’s been exposed blatantly in public, which is no
different than streaking in front of a large crowd.
The crowd is enjoying the lively atmosphere while eating melons.
After all the back and forth arguing, everyone finally understood what was going on.
Sebastian, with the support of his in-laws and wife, started his career and made several well-received films, which left him feeling
elated and on cloud nine.
Betraying the marriage by cheating, and not just once, but even going as far as financially supporting mistresses with his wife’s
money, all while showing no concern for their children.
As a husband, he couldn’t control his lower body; as a financial supporter, he stole his wife’s money; and as a father, he never
properly educated his children.
One could say that none of these identities are up to par, utterly lacking in taste to the extreme!
Upon opening the trending topics section, it was filled with spontaneous support for Freya.
One wrote: [Freya, you’re amazing! Don’t be angry about that worthless man. After the divorce, your best days are still ahead!]
Another commented: [Money, the most important thing is to get the money back. The day before yesterday, there was a case in
Seattle where a homewrecker was forced to return all the money they took Freya, go check it out quickly!]
Another wrote: [Tsk tsk, when looking for a man, never choose an ugly duckling. Ladies, keep your eyes wide open! Ugly
ducklings won’t remember your kindness, they’ll only suck the life out of you and your family!]
She was rendered speechless.
Outraged and indignant, they spoke passionately and eloquently. ̧
People can’t wait to tear apart this ungrateful ugly duckling themselves!
Robert shook his head in admiration, “Amazing.
Aylin noticed that something was off, “Robert, don’t you think this is all too coincidental?”
“How should I put it?”
“Although Sebastian is detestable, he’s not a fool. After his affair with Sally was exposed, he should have been more cautious
around his wife. How could he let her get such solid and complete evidence?”
After calmly thinking for a moment, Aylin felt that something was not quite right. “Moreover, the direction of public opinion is too
one-sided.”
Sebastian is indeed so terrible that everyone is infuriated, and everyone’s anger is genuine.
However, Aylin, who has experienced numerous crisis PR situations, could tell that someone had deliberately guided public
opinion in this direction.
Robert’s eyes narrowed slightly, “You mean, someone deliberately pushed this from behind? Who would do such a thing?”
A familiar figure flashed through Aylin’s mind, and she came up with her own answer. “If I’m not mistaken, it should be Ryker. He
loves to help me vent my anger in this way.”
Other than him, she didn’t have any friends who knew so much.
Upon hearing Ryker’s name, Robert’s eyes narrowed slightly and he paused for a moment, raising an eyebrow without saying
much.
“Guess I should give him a call for helping me like this.” Aylin murmured, taking out her phone and dialing Ryker’s number.
In just three seconds, Ryker’s joyful voice came through, “Aylin?”
“Ryker, thank you for helping me again this time,” Aylin said with a smile.
Ryker had just finished an event and was backstage removing his makeup when he heard these words. His heart skipped a
beat, and he almost dropped the makeup remover on the floor.
“Aylin, what are you...?”
He helped Aylin remove the photos that others had taken secretly, as he had promised to protect Aylin’s privacy.
How could Aylin possibly know? It’s impossible!
Aylin didn’t even realize there was a problem. She happily scrolled through Twitter and said, “How did I know? It was so easy to
guess it was you. But, I really like this wicked sense of humor. Are you free? Let’s have lunch together!”
Eat?
In an instant, Ryker cast aside all his worries, leaving only one thought in his mind...
Aylin invites him to dinner!
“I’m free, I’ll be right there!”
If it weren’t for the fact that Ryker had to remove his makeup while sitting, he would have already jumped three feet high with
excitement. Before hanging up the phone, you could still hear his thrilled voice, “Hurry up and help me remove this makeup, I
have a date with Aylin, and everyone gets the afternoon off!”
Aylin shook her head with a smile.
“This kid...”
She hung up the phone and turned to Robert with an invitation, “Robert, we’re going to have dinner. Would you like to join us?”
“No, you guys go ahead. I don’t want to be the third wheel,” Robert said with a meaningful smile and a playful lift of his eyebrows.
Aylin looked at him with a helpless expression and said, “Robert, we’re just having a simple meal, that’s all.”
“No need to explain, for explanation is just a cover-up, and what’s being covered up is the truth. Robert understands this.
