Chapter 185

Chapter 185:

After saying her piece, Emeline left with Madisyn, leaving Teresa to watch their receding figures with a darkened expression. Her hands clenched into tight fists at her sides. Madisyn had always been her nemesis, and she had never once won against her. All she could do was curse Madisyn silently in her heart.

Fortunately, she and Kian had already announced their relationship publicly; they didn’t need to hide anymore. Kian sent Teresa a message, saying he would pick her up soon.

However, just as he was about to leave, his agent stopped him. “Kian, what were you thinking? Why did you announce your relationship with Teresa?” His agent attempted to reason with him. “Do you have any idea how many female fans you’ve lost?”

In the past, Kian would have been worried, but he had changed. With a confident smile, he said, “Don’t worry; I have my plans.”

The agent studied him, knowing Kian was not a fool. “That Teresa… Does she have high status?”

“Yes, of course!” Kian grinned. “Being with her is a blessing. She can make my dreams come true. Don’t worry. After I marry into a wealthy family, I won’t forget everything you’ve done for me.”

Did Teresa really come from a wealthy family? Did she have such a powerful background? The agent was surprised but remained cautious. “Are you sure about that? After officially announcing your relationship with Teresa, I did some digging. Her background seems pretty ordinary.”

“I’m sure,” Kian insisted. “She’s just keeping a low profile because she doesn’t want people to know she’s Mr. Dane Johns’s sister.”

Mr. Dane Johns’s sister? If that was Teresa’s identity, then she was something special. The agent was stunned momentarily but still felt something was off. “But how can you be so sure? My investigation didn’t show any signs that the information I found was false.”

All the details she had uncovered pointed to Teresa being an ordinary person. Yet Kian remained confident. “That’s exactly why she’s Mr. Johns’s sister. Do you think the Johns Group would leave traces for anyone to find?”

The agent thought it over and realized Kian had a point. After their discussion, Kian left to pick up Teresa.

He dressed in a stylish outfit and held a bouquet of roses, standing outside the office to wait for her. When the women in the company saw this, they were all envious of Teresa.

Teresa basked in their jealousy, her vanity fully satisfied. She left with Kian, relishing the envious comments from her colleagues.

However, those who were focused on their work remained speechless. This was a workplace, not a romantic getaway. If they wanted to flaunt their affection, couldn’t they do it outside? Didn’t they realize they were disrupting everyone else’s work?

After dinner, Kian and Teresa went straight to his place. Once they were alone, they made love, and afterward, as they lay on the bed, Teresa leaned against Kian’s chest, drawing circles on it. Suddenly, she thought of Evie. “Don’t you feel sorry for Evie at all? She’s so beautiful. Don’t you really like her?”

Kian looked at Teresa affectionately. “Honey, you’re the only one in my heart. How can you still think about other women at a time like this? I’ll be upset.”

With that, he leaned closer and sealed his lips to hers. His hand slipped under the quilt, exploring Teresa’s naked body again. The flame of passion reignited, lasting for an hour.

Once their passion was extinguished, Teresa’s face glowed with satisfaction. She hugged Kian’s waist and smiled at him. “Honey, you’re amazing.”

“You silly girl. Stop talking about Evie, okay? Otherwise, I’ll keep doing this,” Kian teased, lifting her chin. Teresa was completely smitten, nodding obediently.

After resting for a while, Teresa picked up her phone, curious to see how badly Evie was being scolded online. She logged into her Twitter account.

Evie was still trending, but the comments shocked Teresa:

“Evie is so pitiful. I feel sorry for her.”

“Kian, you bastard! You’re an adulterer!”

“Kian and Teresa, you are both shameless!”

Teresa was bewildered, not understanding what was going on. This was not the response she had expected. She opened a news article in confusion and saw screenshots of message threads between Evie and Kian, along with photos of gifts Kian had given Evie.

It turned out Evie and Kian had been in a real relationship. Teresa’s expression changed drastically. Kian leaned over to see her phone, surprised that Evie had done this. Did she love him so much that she had to ruin him? Could it be that her love had turned into hate?

But Kian wasn’t flustered. “Honey, don’t worry. I’ll have someone go to public relations to clarify the situation right away.”

Meanwhile, the online community felt sorry for Evie:

“It turns out Evie and Kian have been together for so long. Teresa is just a wicked woman who snatched someone else’s man. She’s the real side chick but dares to accuse the legitimate girlfriend!”

“I don’t know what Teresa looks like, but Evie is truly beautiful. How can Kian cheat on her? Is he blind? What a pity! He doesn’t deserve Evie at all.”

“Kian is trash. He’s such a scumbag. Let’s all block him!”

“That’s right! Kian is a shameless asshole. He had a girlfriend but still had an affair. He’s not a decent person!”

“Kian must apologize. He and Teresa must apologize to Evie.”

These two even accused Evie of ruining their relationship. It turned out they were the ones cheating on her. “How absurd! I’ve really learned a lot from these two cheaters.”

As the backlash continued, Kian released a statement:

“I admit that what Evie posted is true. But I only pretended to agree to date her because I felt sorry for her. I was afraid she would hurt herself if I rejected her. The person who truly owns my heart is Teresa. I love her. I didn’t tell Evie earlier, fearing she wouldn’t be able to accept it.”

His statement shifted some netizens’ opinions, making them feel sorry for him:

“Oh, Kian! You’re too kind. Such a gentleman!”

“Really? I didn’t expect this side of the story. This matter really has a lot of twists and turns.”

“I can’t believe this. Did Evie threaten Kian to be with him?”

“I knew Kian wasn’t that kind of person. Evie, you are so mean. You threatened him to be with you, and now you’re slandering him. But he is still very kind to you. Don’t you feel ashamed?”

“In this case, I’m curious about the threat. How did Evie threaten Kian?”
