guards approaching to escort them out, everyone realized that they had just messed with someone they never should’ve crossed.
Chapter 22
As the group watched the surveillance footage replay on the big screen, looping over and over, it became painfully clear that Brittany had been the one to stir up
Trouble.
Everyone who had jumped in to defend her was now filled with regret–but not for what they said or did. They regretted that their actions had put their own
interests at risk
Among them were employees working under Sinclair Group. It didn’t take long before they received emails terminating their contracts. Furious, they wanted to lash out at Brittany, but seeing Josiah still shielding her made them hesitate.
He wasn’t someone they could afford to offend either. All they could do was swallow their anger and accept their fate
It really was a case of gods fighting while the little people suffered.
Other former classmates who worked for companies partnered with Sinclair Coup were also fired, just in case the situation turned political. No one wanted to risk getting caught in the crosshire.
After everyone had left, the gossip expluded across social media. People discussed how Brittany’s scheme had completely backfired on her. Her reputation, already on shaky ground, was now in shambles.
When she confessed her feelings to Josiah right after his divorce, people had been critical of her decision. Even so, many still defended her, saying that Josiah had pursued her. They insisted that she was just dragged Into a mess she didn’t ask for.
But this time, things completely flipped. A small, unknown content creator posted the surveillance footage online, quickly stirring up heated discussion on social media.
The moment the wall cracked, the crowd rushed in. No one stood by Brittany’s side anymore. Everyone was calling her out, saying that it took two people to start a scandal, accusing herif knowingly becoming the “other woman”
Furious after seeing the posts, Brittany trashed the room, breaking anything she could get her hands on
Meanwhile, Josiah was overwhelmed. His partners with active contracts began stalling payments and shipments, saying they couldn’t risk offending the wrong people.
Even those preparing to renew their contracts abruptly turned to work with his competitors. Josiah ended up so swamped with work that he moved into his office.
Brittany couldn’t reach him at all. She called repeatedly, but Joslah never picked up. On the other hand, Floyd kept checking in on her, offering sweet words and comfort.
Brittany, already imitable and on edge, finally gave in. With Floyd’s coasting and a heavy dose of alcohol they ended up sleeping together.
Afterward, Brittany convinced herself that no matter how distant Josiah had been lately, it was only because he was overworked and adjusting to life without Priscilla. Deep down, she still believed that he was the same childhood friend who had always indulged her.
So Brittany grew even bolder in how she spent time with Floyd. They went shopping and took trips together. She even brought him home to fool around- frequently.
And every swipe of the credit card? It was Josiah’s secondary credit card.
back at the office, Josiah was buried in work, stressed and exhausted. Every time he saw another notification about a charge on that card, his frustration deepened.
Brittany didn’t seem to care about him, not even when his company was in trouble. She was still spending recklessly, living as if nothing had changed.
Even though his schedule was packed, Josiah made time to visit her place. The moment he opened the door, he saw clothes strewn all over the floor. From the bedroom caine uremistakable sounds of couples being intimate.
Josiah walked to the bedroom and pushed the door open in disbelief–only to see Brittany and Floyd, who were completely naked, still going at it.
When Brittany saw Josiah standing there, she screamed in panic, scrambling to cover herself with the blanket. Her panic made Floyd tense up, too. In the middle of the chaos, the lower part of his body accidentally got stuck inside Brittany.
Staring at the absurd scene before him, Jostali felt a surge of rage and disbelief. Then everything went black as he collapsed on the spot.
Two ambulances amved at the scene. One took pastah away while the other was for Brittany and Floyd.
Neither of them could get dressed, so paramedics had to wrap them up in blankets before loading them into the vehicle.
Getting caught cheating was already a scandal, but getting stuck together afterward? That was gomething people didn’t see every day. Everyone’s eyes instinctively followed them. Some even snapped photos. Naturally, someone shot a video and posted it online.
And once that the internet, it exploded. Netizens instantly tumed the whole thing into a meme fest.
People who knew them started dropping background stories in the comments. Even the older drama–about Brittany being a shameless childhood friend who didn’t know has place and knowingly became the third party–resurfaced.
Bootage from Jesiah’s birthday party also reappeared.
Soon, everyone knew that the woman who got “stuck” during Intercourse was the same woman who once stole her roommate’s husband, And now, she was caught cheating with her lover by that very same childhood friend.
For a while, no one knew whether to laugh at Josiah, the childhood sweetheart, for getting what he deserved, or to pity him as a complete fool
Meanwhile, the online frenzy about the scandal went unnoticed by the three of thein at the hospital.
When Josiah regained consciousness, the first thing he did was cancel Brittany’s supplementary credit card. He also cut off all support to the Dresler family and ordered her to move out of the luxury apartment he had rented for her
He had Ruth handle everything. He didn’t even want to see her Lace.
The Dresler family, already struggling due to Brittany’s father’s poor business decisions, could no longer maintain their previous extravagant lifestyle. That was why Brittany had returned from abroad in the first place. It was so she could push Priscilla out and lock Josiah down before it was too late.
Now that Josiah had decided to cut ties, losing his support meant financial rain for her family. Bankruptcy was practically inevitable.
Sering Brittany kicked out and now squeezed into a small, shabby apartment, Floyd tumed and walked away without saying a single word. He had only stuck around because she was his cash cow. Now that the money tree had stopped producing gold, he couldn’t find another reason for him to stay.
Left with nothing, Brittany scrambled for ways to win Josiah back. But every attempt she made to approach him was blocked by his bodyguards without exception
