Chapter 250
Hugo Wilde's eyes flickered with surprise.
Lucy White's observational skills were truly remarkable.
Recalling his relationship with Tiffany Quinn, the beginning had indeed been sweet.
She would wait for him after work with gentle smiles, occasionally撒娇asking him to pick her up.
Back then, he thought she was the perfect match.
But gradually, everything soured.
"Hugo, my brother wants an internship at your company."
"My father mentioned that project..."
The Gould family's demands were endless, one after another.
The final straw came last week.
When Winston Gould's drunk driving caused an accident, Tiffany tearfully begged him to cover it up.
In that moment, he saw their relationship for what it truly was.
"Miss White has sharp eyes indeed." He shook his head with a bitter smile.
This relationship should have ended long ago.
Hunter Wilde interjected nervously, "Bro, this won't affect your luck, right?"
Still traumatized by his ex's craziness.
"Relax." Hugo ruffled his brother's hair. "Your brother has terrible taste in women but decent karma."
Turning to Lucy, an idea struck him.
"Miss White, would you consider endorsing Stellar Watches?"
Lucy's lashes fluttered.
Stellar Watches? That was a top luxury brand.
Last year's ambassador was Oscar-winning actress Vanessa Knight, and this year several A-listers were vying for the spot.
"I'd be honored." She accepted gracefully. "My agent will contact you with details."
Ethan Smith's grip tightened on the steering wheel.
Through the rearview mirror, he saw the appreciative look Hugo gave Lucy.
Late at night.
Lucy opened her laptop, a cold smile playing on her lips.
Her slender fingers flew across the keyboard.
#SHOCKING! Forbidden Affair in High Society#
The headline instantly went viral.
The nine-grid photos showed Winston Gould's hand resting on his stepdaughter's waist.
Giselle Gould gazed up at him with unmistakably flirtatious eyes.
The internet exploded.
[WTF! He's old enough to be her father!]
[Mrs. Von's got interesting hobbies... someone check on Frederick's hairline]
More damning evidence surfaced.
Intimate photos of Giselle with various men.
Each oozing with questionable intimacy.
Von Jewelry's website crashed under the onslaught.
[Mr. Von, seen your wife's greatest hits?]
[Might want a paternity test lol]
Gould Group's stocks plummeted.
High society watched the scandal unfold with popcorn-ready glee.
Lucy closed her laptop and sipped her black tea.
This was only the beginning.
