Chapter 4
With my luggage, I left the Matthews’s manor and found a cheap hotel to stay in.
The next morning, someone vigorously knocked on the hotel room door and woke me up.
After checking in yesterday, I only told my good friend Sophia Reynolds the address.
She opened the door and anxiously held up her phone for me to see.
The news about Ethan’s extramarital affair forcing his ex–wife to leave has already gone viral on
the internet.
Mr. Matthews found it difficult to bear the loneliness, so he brought his beloved back home to seek
excitement.
Mrs. Matthews was betrayed and she left in distress late at night.
Iris,
who had gained some popularity online, suddenly became the target of public criticism and was relentlessly attacked by keyboard warriors.
Oh, it’s this trick again, self–directed and self–acted.
Did you also increase your traffic by the way?
Anyway, black is also red.
But Ethan, being infatuated with authority, saw me and without a word, slapped me.
“Megan, you treacherous and venomous woman! No wonder you didn’t seem to mind last night, turns out you knew the paparazzi were going to take pictures! You are going to ruin Iris!”
“She was about to be forced to quit the circle by you, and she even said it’s not your fault. How could you be so heartless and ruthless!”
“Come with me to Iris’s press conference right away, publicly apologize to her, and tell everyone that she is innocent!”
Innocent?
I touched my face and laughed out loud.
“Was she innocent or not? How did it become about me when she was the one looking at you?”
Ethan couldn’t listen to a word, he just grabbed my collar and dragged me to the
press
conference.
Iris had a plain face, her eyes swollen and red like walnuts, as she bowed ninety degrees to

apologize.
As soon as they saw me appear, the journalists immediately surrounded me.
“Mrs. Matthews, were those passionate photos taken under your instruction?”
“Mrs. Matthews, did Iris really interfere in your relationship with Mr. Matthews?”
Beside me, Ethan stared at me with a warning look in his eyes, which were as cold as ice.
I gave a faint smile and helped Iris up.
“Ms. Hess, you were wronged. Everything was my fault.”
Then I lowered my head and bent over.
“Ms. Hess was innocent, she was not an intruder. The despicable person was me, intentionally photoshopping to create fake news for attention.”
After saying that, I slapped myself.
“Ms. Hess and my husband were clearly just ordinary business partners, and I, out of jealousy, shamelessly framed and blamed her. I was a despicable person.”
After saying that, I slapped myself on the other side of the face.
Iris was shaking her leg, looking at me in panic.
“What a scary woman! She appeared to be apologizing, but in reality, she was constantly making
veiled threats!”
There were people shouting loudly in the audience, speaking on behalf of Iris.
She suddenly felt weak in her legs and collapsed directly onto the ground, looking as if she was
about to faint.
Ethan rushed forward in one stride and embraced her, glaring at me angrily.
“Megan, kneel down! Apologize sincerely!”
Iris, locked in my arms, clearly sparkled with defiance in her eyes.
I suddenly recalled the heavy rain half a month ago, in which I knelt down. It not only caused me to give birth prematurely but also made me the laughingstock of the whole city.
Under the gaze of hundreds of cameras, I knelt down to Iris, and in doing so, I completely lost my
dignity.

Ethan raised a cold smile, causing someone to bring over the work badge of a good friend who used to work at the Matthews Group and smash it at my feet.
The meaning is clear.
Choose between obeying and kneeling down, or keeping a good relationship with friends.
I lifted my head, preventing the tears from falling.
The knees slowly touched the ground, causing a commotion in the crowd.
I opened my mouth with a hoarse voice.
I, Megan, was a mountain poverty–stricken student sponsored by the Matthews Group, and I previously saved Ethan’s grandmother’s life.
“It was me who wanted to fly to the top of the branch like a phoenix, using my favor to force Ethan to break up with Iris, who truly loved him, and marry me.”
Ethan looked at me incredulously, as if he hadn’t expected me to betray myself and help them.
And I, with great effort, finally let the tears slide down my

cheeks.
All night long, his heart beat unusually fast and his eye twitched constantly.
All I could see was myself kneeling in the pouring rain, kneeling in front of Iris.
A face from despair to calmness.
Just as he couldn’t hold back any longer and was about to rush out to find me, the secretary burst in.
“Mr. Matthews, something happened, Mrs. Matthews, she fell off a cliff!”
