Mommy,We Got a Husband -
Chapter 301 Rowena's Retaliation
"Sorry! The subscriber you dialed is power off."
Hearing the busy tone, Stellan grew increasingly anxious. Almost a full day had passed, and Rowena hadn't reacted to the rumors publicly. When she called Rowena, her phone was off.
"Do you think something might have happened to Rowena with her phone off at this time?" Stellan asked worriedly.
"Probably not," Alaric speculated. "She has a team now; she's not alone. She should be fine."
"Good then. It seems she just needs some time to calm down," Stellan guessed. "That's possible," Alaric said.
Stellan was furious after reading those comments, let alone Rowena and Cormac. Stellan angrily cursed, "I knew from the first time I met Richard that he wasn't a good person. Cheating is one thing, but to turn around and blame someone else is just despicable."
Stellan kept ranting for a while, then couldn't help but feel heartbroken. "Cormac and Rowena are so unfortunate, getting cyberbullied for no reason. What kind of fate is this? They truly love each other but can't be together, and they've both experienced despair."
Alaric also felt sympathetic. Understanding that they had both grappled with despair and even attempted suicide, he regarded their experiences as truly unfortunate.
"Alaric, is there any way we can help them? It's so unfair that the bad guys get away with it while the good people get blamed!" Stellan exclaimed.
"Relationship issues are tricky. Anything we do might just make things worse," Alaric replied.
"You're right, but just watching them get blamed is so frustrating," Stellan said.
"It's just a temporary frenzy from the netizens. Time will prove everything. The truth will always come out." After saying this, Alaric coughed again. Rowena quickly patted him on the back and handed him some water. "Alright, alright, let's not worry about others' problems. Your health is more important." Stellan asked with concern, "How are you feeling today?"
"Much better," Alaric said optimistically. "Only ten days left, and then you'll have some relief."
Yes, only ten days left. After the first treatment cycle, Alaric would get checked to see the results. If the results were good, they could really breathe a sigh of relief and proceed to the second cycle. "Yes, you're doing great, honey. Just hang in there for ten more days," Stellan encouraged.
Seeing Stellan comforting him like a child, Alaric couldn't help but smile wryly. "Alright, then I'll have to trouble you to hang in there for ten more days too."
Alaric knew that while he was physically suffering, Stellan was facing immense psychological pressure. It was a torment for both of them. Finally, there were only ten days left in the first treatment cycle. Stellan was very worried about Rowena, but she really couldn't help with Rowena's situation this time. Meanwhile, Rowena had already figured out how to respond.
Rowena didn't follow the agency's suggested explanation but used her own method. She believed that the truth could never be overturned.
Rowena didn't want to shift the blame to anyone else; she just wanted to speak the truth. Whether people believed her or not was beyond her control.
So Rowena wrote a long article this time without informing the company or discussing it with anyone. She simply expressed her thoughts and feelings exactly as she desired.
The article truthfully recounted the entire process, from when her agent informed her about the opportunity to be a promotional ambassador for the entertainment center to showing the plane ticket back to Arizona on that day.
She included all her schedules from the days leading up to that day, as she was busy with concerts abroad. Her phone was with her assistant, and she hadn't contacted Cormac or Alaric in advance. The reunion at the entertainment center was purely coincidental.
She also included her chat records with the contractor, who explained that Richard had deliberately asked Cormac to be the driver. Additionally, she mentioned that several staff members at the filming base could testify to the fact that Rowena, Richard, and Cormac had indeed traveled together on that particular day.
Rowena firmly stated that she had never met Cormac alone. After returning to the country, she met Cormac three times, and Richard was present each time. On her birthday, Richard claimed that Rowena didn't let him return to the country. Rowena questioned Richard about this.
Rowena: [Since Mr. Walker went abroad for filming, we haven't contacted each other. On my birthday, Mr. Walker only sent a Facebook message and didn't call or text me. If Mr. Walker claims that I didn't let him return to the country to celebrate my birthday, please show the chat records or call logs.]
Rowena: [I can vouch for the truthfulness of every word I've said. If there's any lie, I will not only leave the industry but also willingly accept the legal consequences of spreading false information. I also urge Mr. Walker to quickly provide solid evidence of my alleged infidelity, or we'll see each other in court!]
It was just a breakup, and Rowena didn't want to make it public, but Richard was too shameless, so she decided to fight him to the end!
Rowena was telling the truth, so she wasn't afraid. She wasn't nervous about going to court. Rowena's strong stance once again made netizens doubt the rumors.
Public opinion was polarized. Some posted: [Rowena's strong stance shows she has confidence. Let's see if Richard can provide chat records or evidence of her infidelity.]
Others: [Rowena took so long to respond; she must have prepared everything. The evidence she provided is just testimonies from bystanders, nothing verified. And she has the backing of Nexus Innovations. With such capital power, what can't be smoothed over?]
Now, the main public opinion was divided into these two views: one believed Rowena, and the other thought capital had covered everything up to suppress Richard.
Seeing the latter comments gave Richard's team a new idea. Richard didn't provide any screenshots and simply gave up.
Richard: [I admit defeat. I can't fight against capital power.]
Richard's words caused another uproar. Rowena could only find testimonies from bystanders. She never thought she would need such evidence to prove her innocence. Richard's response also polarized opinions. Some said: [He can't provide evidence, so he just gave up. If he had evidence, why not release it at this point?]
But others firmly believed: [Richard was threatened by capital. I'm worried about his safety. His evidence must have been destroyed by the capital. Capitalists have so many means; they might have even planted spies around him.]
In short, neither side could provide conclusive evidence, and netizens were divided. Richard's infidelity could have been a clear-cut case, but he portrayed himself as a deeply wronged victim, gaining support from many brainless fans and preventing his immediate abandonment by the company.
