Chapter 946
Chapter 946:
The image of Fernanda, once so prideful, now reduced to nothing, filled her with a deep sense of triumph.
With that satisfying thought in mind, Michelle slept soundly that night.
The next morning, her phone rang loudly, jolting her awake. It was an early call from Ector.
Michelle answered groggily, disoriented. Ector’s furious voice cut through her haze. “What the hell were you thinking? What did you do to Fernanda?”
Still half-asleep, Michelle frowned in confusion. “What are you talking about?”
“You haven’t checked the news?” Ector growled, his anger palpable. “It’s everywhere! Do you even realize how badly you’ve screwed us over? You’re on the verge of destroying everything we’ve built!”
Before Michelle had a chance to respond, he ended the call abruptly. Massaging his temples, Ector pulled back the curtains, only to be greeted by the sight of paparazzi swarming outside.
He had been working nonstop the previous night, only wrapping up his work at six in the morning.
Plans to rest briefly before his next meeting were quickly dashed as the news exploded across media outlets.
Bright Lights Media had broken the scandalous story, its headline screaming, “Shocking! Father Sells Daughter for a Company in a Despicable Deal!”
As he clicked on the link, Ector’s stomach sank when he realized the article was about his family.
A contract had been leaked, revealing that Robert had essentially traded Fernanda for a company. The public’s outrage was immediate and fierce.
Bright Lights Media was known for its credibility, and their history of accurate reporting meant that no one questioned the validity of the story.

Outraged netizens turned their anger directly toward Robert.
Ector’s secretary called urgently, advising him to stay away from the office to avoid further unrest. Paparazzi had already gathered outside the Voligny Company building, and now they were camped outside his apartment.
Fully awake now, Michelle saw the unfolding scandal on the news and immediately shook Robert awake. “Honey, we have a serious problem.”
Robert, already in a foul mood from being woken up, only grew more irritable after seeing the news.
He glanced at the headlines dismissively. “It’s nothing to worry about. It’s just a minor scandal. Fulton promised he’d handle it. Nothing will come of it.”
What Robert didn’t know was that Fernanda’s boyfriend was Cristian. Fulton’s promises had already fallen apart under the weight of Cristian’s influence.
After a short nap, Robert woke to a call from Ector.
