“Unbelievable! The only news more sensational than a divorce is that Rhys is actually alive.

Even more shocking, he’s with another woman now!”

Soon, hashtags like “#RhysIsStillAlive”, “#RhysCheatsOnHarlee”, and “#HarleeIsDivorcingRhys” surfaced. They swiftly climbed to the top of trending charts on major social platforms within a mere ten minutes.

The main live stream of the press conference attracted millions of viewers. Viewer numbers soared to tens of millions, nearly overwhelming the streaming equipment. Luckily, Brenton had the foresight to equip the venue with top-of-the-line streaming technology, ensuring the broadcast went uninterrupted.

In the lounge, Nathaniel occupied the main seat, his gaze fixed on the live stream, a look of concern etched across his face.

He had repeatedly felt a compelling need to be there beside Harlee, to offer his moral support physically.

However, Brenton consistently intervened, urging patience.

As the sentiments on social media began to shift favorably for Harlee and the critics redirected their fire at Rhys, a visible sigh of relief escaped Nathaniel’s lips, easing the tension in his shoulders.

Nathaniel remarked, “Harlee really should’ve brought Rhys’ unfaithfulness into the light much earlier. She bore too much on his behalf, which is utterly agonizing to witness.”

Belinda leaned forward, nodding emphatically.

“Absolutely! Some people are just vile.

Harlee is not one to enter a marriage as a mere facade. She’d have stayed out of the limelight if it weren’t for this dreadful divorce.”

Lonnie, after gently pacifying Skyla with a tender pat on her hand, assumed a more authoritative tone as he addressed the room, “Harlee is quite aware of her actions. Our sole duty is to back her up. She clearly had substantial reasons for requesting our absence from the live stream today.”

We need to trust her judgment and continue our unwavering support.”

Earlier, when Brenton shared Harlee’s plan, Lonnie had harbored some skepticism but ultimately conceded.

He recognized Harlee’s intention to spare the Sanderson family from a public scandal.

Bravely, she chose to face the fierce storm of online scrutiny alone.

Had they appeared in the livestream against her will, it would have only deepened her sense of guilt.

Harlee often found herself caught in a whirlwind of self-reproach, from which she struggled to escape.

Hence, Lonnie chose to hold back his paternal instincts to protect her, rather than intensify her mental anguish.

Skyla echoed this sentiment. She, too, feared Harlee would spiral into self-blame, so she refrained from attending the livestream.

Nathaniel, closely observing the Sandersons’ faces, pursed his lips and offered a warm smile.

“Harlee is clever. Let’s wait and see how she handles this.” Nathaniel shared the concern that Harlee might fall into self-blame. Otherwise, Brenton’s interference wouldn’t have deterred him.

Amidst the swirling tumult, Harlee managed a serene smile and directed her gaze toward the backstage area.
