I Became His Sweetheart

Chapter 25 A Shocking Revelation The sound of shattering glass echoed as Felix West’s wine glass fell from his grasp, leaving shattered remnants on the floor. “Idiots!” Felix couldn’t care less about maintaining his composure. He yelled at his subordinates, “Get this mess sorted out! Now!”

His subordinates hurriedly tried to figure out what was happening, but the control system for the live feed had been compromised. No one knew the exact location of Bryan West and Lena Jones. The entire city was in an uproar due to the live broadcast of the city’s tycoon and the famous actress.

People on the streets stopped in their tracks, pointing and gossiping. The guests at the West Corp’s celebration were in disarray, and even the online live—streaming platforms were overwhelmed, briefly crashing.

However, amid the city’s frenzy, the couple continued their intimate encounter on screen, unaware of the chaos going on.

“You were with Melanie last night, and now you're lying to me!” Lena accused.

“| didn’t! You’re insane!” Bryan retorted.

He managed to free himself from Lena’s grasp, but she swiftly pounced on him, biting his shoulder and passionately kissing him. “You said it yourself! You love the way | make you feel. No one else can replace me!” Lena exclaimed.

Bryan quickly succumbed to her seduction, and the ensuing scenes were too explicit for the media to handle.

The reporters were in an uproar.

*Lena Jones marketed herself as pure and innocent, but she was secretly seducing her cousin's boyfriend. What a shocking revelation!”

*Lena Jones is unmarried and pregnant, yet she plans to keep it a secret from the public!”

*Bryan West, who publicly claimed to be a doting boyfriend, has been revealed as a fraud! Lena Jones as the ‘other woman‘ shamelessly demands that he can’t be with his girlfriend. This is outrageous!”

It took ten minutes for the West Corp’s team to finally cut off the live feed from the skyscraper. However, the explicit images and content were already stored on everyone’s phone in Harbor City, making a lasting impression.

Amid the chaos, Felix and his wife, along with the shareholders of the West Corp, retreated hastily. They locked themselves inside the

headquarters, their voices raised in protest.

“Mr. West, we strongly oppose Bryan’s inclusion in the board of directors!”

*If you insist on pushing Bryan into the board of directors, then the West Corp would be heading toward bankruptcy!” Felix had no immediate response, but his anger was evident in his gaze. “Find that troublemaker and bring him to me!”

Outside the office, the event's guests and media began to disperse. Some of the elite business figures who had conversed with the Joneses just moments ago could not resist making snide remarks as they left.

‘Mr. Jones's daughter is quite a master at what she does!”

“No doubt about it. Watching Lena Jones, one would think she’s a seasoned professional. An innocent songbird? What a joke!” Daniel and Lily Jones were utterly embarrassed and wished there was a hole to hide in.

A few journalists managed to corner Melanie, the only person around who was closest to the Wests.

“Miss Jones, given your close relationship with Bryan West and Lena Jones, were you aware of their affair?”

“|... [had no idea...”

Melanie responded, feigning surprise and helplessness in her voice.

“Who do you think orchestrated this? Could it be Lena Jones?” The journalist relentlessly questioned Melanie.

Surrounded, Melanie stood her ground and put on a pitiable expression. “If | knew, the engagement banquet wouldn’t have been abruptly canceled two days ago...”

The reporters seemed to agree with what Melanie said.

Just then, Annie Snow, flanked by a team of security guards, pushed through the crowd. She stood by Melanie’s side and said, “Melanie hasn’t married Bryan West yet. She’s not part of the Wests. She’s just a victim of these circumstances. If you have any questions, why not ask the individuals involved? Besides, isn’t an independent woman pursuing a career just as appealing as being a good wife and mother?”

Annie’s words left the reporters momentarily stunned. Seizing the opportunity, Annie escorted Melanie away from the press, and they quickly got into a waiting car and drove off.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“Not bad.” Melanie teased as they settled into the car. “You delivered that ‘independent woman’ speech quite smoothly!” “| sure did!” Annie replied, feeling a huge sense of satisfaction.

Melanie leaned back in her seat. She closed her eyes and savored the chaos that had unfolded outside the West Corp building moments ago. Since discovering the betrayal, she felt a heavy weight on her chest. Now, it finally felt like she could breathe.

The car had barely traveled when it abruptly screeched to a halt. Annie exclaimed, “Are they out of their mind?” Melanie opened her eyes and saw another vehicle up ahead, obstructing their car.
