My Secret Billionaire Husband Chapter 2853: 2863: Alright, then you explain

But that moment has passed; such actions are no longer necessary.

Her sole focus now is on enacting retribution against the two accursed journalists from the previous night.

Following the whistleblower's detailed exposé, complete with photographic and video evidence, and the appearance of an individual claiming insider knowledge in the comment section, asserting that Frank Parker and Joanna Lawrence had been companions for some time, known to everyone within their social circle, the situation escalated.

A significant portion of the onlookers, unaware of the genuine circumstances, readily accepted this fabricated narrative.

Consequently, many directed criticism at them in the comments, citing their perceived moral failings.

The majority of internet users were castigating Joanna.

They branded her as promiscuous, utterly shameless, and incapable of contentment with her exceptionally gifted husband, Ashton Heath, even going as far as to engage in an affair with another man.

Numerous netizens also made mention of Frank Parker in their posts, issuing warnings for him to steer clear of Joanna.

“Joanna is utterly repulsive. Her husband is so remarkable, so flawless, yet she isn't satisfied? And out of all the available men, she selects Frank Parker, a long-standing confidant of Ashton Heath. It’s said even rabbits refrain from grazing near their own burrows.”

“Now I finally comprehend the rift between Frank Parker and Ashton Heath; it was all because of Joanna. Ah, both are my darlings, but their discernment in women is woefully inadequate! They both fell for such a disreputable woman.”

“What sort of woman can’t the esteemed Young Master Parker find? Why did he set his sights on a married woman? Both of Closia’s heartthrobs have succumbed to her; I wonder what sorcery she employs, perhaps she’s a siren.”

“Were I Ashton Heath, I would have initiated divorce proceedings immediately.”

“Now that their clandestine rendezvous has been brought to light, Ashton Heath cannot possibly overlook this. The entire internet is aware of his humiliation; should he refrain from divorcing Joanna Lawrence, his reputation would be irrevocably damaged.”

Within the comment section, a substantial number of individuals had already concluded that a divorce between Joanna Lawrence and Ashton Heath was inevitable.

Some even expressed that it would have been far better had Ashton Heath chosen Rebecca Kelloway from the outset.

Rebecca Kelloway had harbored affections for him for years, demonstrating unwavering devotion and loyalty; she would never contemplate betrayal.

“Ah, what a tragedy for Ms. Rebecca.”

“Indeed, I believe Ms. Rebecca and Ashton Heath would have constituted a far superior match. Had they been united from the beginning, none of these unfortunate events would have transpired.”

“It’s truly regrettable, as it appears Ms. Rebecca has lost her composure. Even if Ashton Heath were to divorce, it’s unlikely they would reconcile, would they?”

“Yes, it is genuinely a shame.”

Joanna consulted her watch precisely when the news broke.

She navigated to Twitter and checked her call log, searching for any attempts by Ashton to contact her.

There were no incoming calls or messages from him.

In the past, Ashton would invariably communicate with her via calls and messages, morning, noon, and night, without fail.

The news had been disseminated across the internet merely an hour prior.

By this point, Ashton’s communication should have certainly reached her.

But presently…

Joanna pondered whether Ashton had perceived the circulating rumors.

Would he lend credence to the fabrications presented in the exposé?

After a brief deliberation, she resolved to dispatch a message to him.

Joanna: Have you seen the scandal involving me and Frank Parker? It’s entirely untrue; I can provide a full explanation.

Immediately after sending it, Ashton responded with remarkable swiftness.

Ashton: Very well, proceed with your explanation.

Joanna: “…”

It seemed her apprehensions were not unfounded.

He was, in fact, distancing himself emotionally due to the scandal surrounding her and Frank Parker.
