Flash Marriage: A Wife For A Stranger

Stephen flinched, and hurriedly zipped his fingers across his mouth and sat quietly.

Henry let out a snort.

After a while, Stephen finally could not make it to hold back his curiosity and said to the two in front of him, “Bro, when did you get married? How come I did not know this at all?”

Henry didn’t even bother to look at him.

“You won’t think I have to report to you first when I get married, will you?”

“No, huh.”

Stephen gave an awkward smile, “But you see, our grandfather had been waiting for so many years, you should let him know and he would be so happy.”

Henry’s eyes darkened and said nothing.

Naturally, Zoe won’t comment on such a thing, either.

After all, the situation between she and Henry had been quite special. She was not ready to meet the other members of the Han family yet. However, there was no way she could tell this to Stephen.

So she could only keep silent.

Seeing that they were all being quiet, Stephen sure had doubts in his head, but he knew better than to ask more questions.

Soon, the dishes were served. After they finished the meal, Henry summoned a waiter to have the plates replaced by a tea set.

Zoe took a sip of the tea, and she asked, “So you can tell me now. What happened? I need details.”

Now that they had got to the business, Stephone immediately stopped his playfulness, and became serious.

The story was quite simple.

It was just the story of a pair of lovebirds with a sorry ending.

Stephen did have a girlfriend before. But he was an idol, and his care was currently on the rise, so he kept the relationship with the girl a secret and did not make it public.

The girl also agreed, and they had a very sweet period of time together.

But about half a year ago, they began to quarrel often.

The girl began to ask him for money, a lot of money every time, and Stephen was not stingy and he just gave her almost every time.

But that’s not enough. He found her behavior weird since then. He had no idea where she had been, and she got irritated and angry easily. It was not uncommon for her to yell at him.

Sometimes, even when he was in the middle of filming or preparing for a show, she would just get angry for no reason.

She would then just threaten him that if he did not just show up immediately, she would expose their relationship and ruin his career.

He had no choice but to give up the show and went back to soothe his girlfriend.

Because of his girlfriend, he lost several endorsement contracts, and some crews even said he was being arrogant.

How could he be arrogant? He was simply anxious and helpless.

He had always thought that the reason why she was being so unreasonable was because he

did not make their relationship public and she felt uncertain about their relationship, and that if he could do a little more for her, everything would be just alright.

But to his surprise, half a month ago, she asked to break up with him.

After all these troubles, naturally, he felt tired too.

It was not just him. Even his agent team had been complaining about the girl. He felt awkward in the middle of such a dilemma.

Now that she looked so determined, he just said yes and did not say anything more.

After they broke up, he just focused on entirely on his work.

Unexpectedly, news suddenly broke out one day. The girl had publicly accused him of cheating on her, beating her, and stealing ten million dollars from her!

He was rendered speechless.

How ridiculous it was, he thought, since he had done nothing to her.

He had immediately tried to contact the girl, only to find that she had blocked his call.

His agents had also posted an announcement for clarification, but it had little effect.

After all, the public just loved to know more about the love affair of the celebrities.

Especially the love affair of a popular actor like him.

After all, though nobody could understand the reason, watching the falling of this originally rising star alone could give some internet haters a sense of pride and pleasure.

“So you see, I told you, he’s not some good shit. Now you know what I mean, huh?”

In almost no time, the whole internet seemed to be flooded with criticism against him.

But that’s not it. A few days later, the girl posted a few more photos on her social media account.

On those photos, she was just covered with bruises.

She told everyone that Stephen had caused all these bruises and there was even a recording of her, giving many details as to how he had beaten her up.

The post soon stirred up a storm of criticism on all social media platforms and suddenly became the most trending topics for several days.

The seriousness of these topics soon

crushed this rising star.

Soon, for the sake of his safety and out of many other concerns, all of the endorsement and activity contracts were simply suspended.

Even one of the movies he had been filming had been temporarily on hold.

Though he was the cousin of Henry, few people in the company knew their relationship.

But it was unlikely that people would think better of him just because he was his cousin.

Therefore, Stephen could only suffer in silence.

The only way to save him was to find the girl immediately and let him confront her face to face.

But it had been half a month since then, he and his agents had tried everything they could but still they could not find her.

As if she had planned the whole thing, after the post, she just disappeared.

Stephen had no choice but to wait. He had sent someone to find her, and at the same time, he was looking for a more experienced PR expert to try to stabilize the situation.

Hearing what Stephen had said, Zoe fell into silence.

She said nothing, and the man next to her, who had already handed the case over to her, of course also said nothing as well.

Stephen felt nervous, and stared at her.

“So … what do you think?”

Zoe looked up at him and smiled, “What do you think?”

Stephen lowered his face in frustration.

He thought he was screwed up this time.

He just could not see how he could possibly

solve the problem.

Watching his gloomy face, Natalia laughed, “The whole thing became difficult just because the woman does not show up again and whatever we do, there just won’t be a response and therefore it just won’t work. For now, you would have to find this woman and the rest of the problem would simply take care of itself.”

Stephen knitted his brows.

“Of course I know that. But damn it! She has just disappeared, where should I find her?”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Henry cast a cold glance at him, “Language!”

Only then did he remember, the woman in front of him was not just his PR expert, but also the wife of his own brother.

He hurriedly put on a smiling face, “Sorry, Natalia, I was just being anxious. I did not watch my mouth. Sorry.”

Zoe did not mind, but smiled.

“Actually, I have been thinking about one thing.”

“What?”

“People make trouble basically just for two reasons. It’s either for money or for love. Now that your ex has made you such a big trouble, for sure she would not be thinking about going back with you?”

“But after the post, she has never asked you for even a penny until today. Then why did she even bother to ruin your reputation?”

Stephen was stunned.

Henry curled his lips and looked at the woman next to him approvingly.

He did not say it just so that Zoe could find it herself.
