Chapter 657 Does He Even Have This Kind of Awareness
Daphne went straight home after leaving the recording site.
Her assistant tentatively asked, "Daph, should I stay and keep you company?"
Hearing that, Daphne shook her head with a smile on her face. "I really am okay. I'll be fine after I take
a shower and sleep. Lucky me, I even had a legit reason to skip work today!
"So…"
"Think of today as your vacation and go have fun."
There was no way the assistant could possibly be in the mood to play around given the current
situation, but it wasn't like she could say much when she saw how Daphne was. As she turned to look
back repeatedly at every step, she reminded Daphne, "I'm off then, Daph. Please call me if you need
anything."
Daphne nodded and sent her to the door. "Be careful on the road."
The assistant then turned around and waved at Daphne before she left.
Daphne only looked away after the assistant went into the elevator. After she closed the door and
dragged herself to the living room, she weakly plopped on her couch and zoned out looking at the
ceiling.
After a while, she took out her phone and read the comments online.
Although her fans were still trying their best to defend her and clear things up, it was as the person in
charge said in the afternoon. She and Theodore were together, and the timeline and lines drawn were
ambiguous.
She might have a clear conscience, but she couldn't persuade the outside world to believe her,
Now that Tina and Theodore had put on a show together and involved many innocent people, Daphne
couldn't just stay at "having a clear conscience."
She couldn't ignore all those comments about her from the outside world.
As she thought about this, she put down her phone and sat up. I can't just not do anything about it.

and went to the underground garage.
But when she arrived at Theodore's company, the receptionist told her that Theodore had left ten
minutes ago.
"Did he say where he's going?"
"I'm not sure about this."
Daphne pursed her lips upon hearing that. She then gave her thanks and left the company.
The sun was setting at this exact moment, casting silhouette after silhouette with its afterglow that hit
the ground at an incline.
She loitered along the road until the sky turned dark and the streetlights were lit.
All the pedestrians were in a hurry as if they were rushing to get home.
Without knowing where she was going, she went from one street to another.
Some time must have passed when she noticed how there were fewer people on the street.
It was already 11.00PM by the time she sat down on a bench she found and took out her phone.
She still couldn't think of a way to solve the problem.
What solution could I possibly have, anyway?
Sighing, she typed out a Twitter post that she planned to post after the PR department had issued a
statement. She could minimize the impact this way.
She then grabbed her phone and waited for time to pass.
At 11.30PM, Pearson Group's PR department used her studio to post on Twitter.
However, the content of the post was not an accusation against Tina; it was a clarification of the online
rumors about her being a mistress. Tina wasn't mentioned even once in the post.
After Daphne refreshed the page, she noticed on the homepage that an audio recording had been
posted on Highside Daily's official Twitter account five minutes ago. Instead of an audio recording, it
was more like an interview.
The interviewee was Theodore's ex-wife. She was the one who accused Daphne of ruining her family
and later gathered the media to keep Daphne under their control.
During the interview, Theodore's ex-wife complained, "Theodore has always loved to screw around
even before he married me, but I turned a blind eye and didn't bother about him much. And yet, he
actually hooked up with a celebrity when I wasn't paying attention! Of course, it irked me to see him so
generous with her on top of him putting on that affectionate act."
The reporter asked, "In other words, he kept his marriage a secret from the world? And that was why
he could get involved with other women without much care?"
"Have you ever met a cheater who would tell you how shameless they have been?" Theodore's ex-wife
continued, "I warned him so many times, but he ignored my words. I only exposed him and his mistress
because I lost my temper."
"Did you get in touch with Daphne Shirley and talk to her about the situation first?"
"Why should I? Also, it's because of her influence that Theodore started getting wary back then. He
would come home as he should. He wouldn't have stayed put for so many years otherwise," the ex-wife
huffed.
"So, you knew that Daphne Shirley was innocent? That she was also a victim?"
"What's that got anything to do with me? I only care about getting what I want."
Even though Theodore's ex-wife did not directly admit it, this interview fully explained the entire matter.
The audio recording of this interview instantly became the number one trending topic.
After seeing this, Daphne exited the page and dialed the number of the person in charge.
She blurted out as soon as the call got through. "The interview that Highside Daily posted! Did you—"
"It wasn't us. I have no idea what's going on as well. However, I received a notice from the assistant's
office half an hour ago, asking me to issue this statement straight away."
"Was it Jonathan?"
"That's right." The person in charge added, "You can retweet Highside Daily's post now."
"Alright, I understand. Thank you."
After she hung up, she started to call Jonathan, only to notice something else on the list of trending
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtopics.
It was a letter of apology from Theodore.
In his letter, he admitted that he intentionally hid the fact that he was married and pursued Daphne.
Even though he gave her a lot of gifts, she took none of them and returned them all to him.
By the end of his letter, he did not forget to express his sincerity by saying that the reason he made
such a mistake back then was because he loved Daphne too much. He wanted to apologize to
everyone who was hurt during the entire ordeal.
Daphne was slightly flabbergasted when she saw the genuine apology. Is this the power of money?
she wondered.
But even if President Presgrave did get involved, he wouldn't have taken it this far…
With a suspicious heart, she gave Jonathan a call.
Jonathan knew why she called him, and he began to explain, "I did it under Madam's instruction.
Madam was also the one who contacted the reporter from Highside Daily."
"You mean Leanna?"
"Yes. Madam was pretty hung up on it. She spent the entire afternoon thinking of a solution."
As Jonathan spoke, he let out a sigh. "Madam's the only one who would do something like this. She
must have caught Theodore Frost by surprise and rendered him speechless when she went to his ex-
wife. I bet he is so pissed he could explode now."
"But he apologized…"
Jonathan, who didn't get what she said right off the bat, asked, "Sorry?"
She repeated herself. "Theodore apologized just a few minutes ago."
"Does he even have this kind of awareness?"
Daphne also found the apology letter baffling, but judging from Jonathan's tone of voice, it didn't sound
like he knew anything about this.
As for Leanna, she didn't need to go to Theodore when she had already gotten to his ex-wife.
Daphne knew just what kind of man Theodore was. He definitely was not someone who would so
readily write a letter of apology.
