I Signed With The Wrong Husband Chapter 13
Early the next morning, Henrietta’s name dominated the trending topic list–each topic tagged with a red exclamation mark and swarmed with false rumors.
“The CEO’s fiancée is an ingrate”
“Confirmed–Henrietta Meskill’s marriage collapsed and she clings to a company higher–up”
“Henrietta ignores her father Bruno Meskill’s death in a nursing home”
The comments overflowed with curses. Her DM inbox was bombarded with vicious messages. Even Cedric was dragged into the scandal, labeled as the tycoon who “used his clout to steal another man’s fiancée“.
Cedric saw the trending topics while having breakfast with Henrietta.
Frowning, he reached for his phone. “Don’t worry. I’ll have the PR team clear this up and find who’s behind it.”
But Henrietta gently pressed his hand and shook her head, her eyes calm and steady. “There’s no need. Some secrets have been buried too long, and it’s time to bring them into the light. Otherwise, someone will always try to use them against us.”
That afternoon, she posted a long statement on her personal social media account, attaching a detailed PPT file.
She didn’t play the victim. In a measured, factual tone, she laid out the truth. Her father’s affair had driven her mother to suicide, after which he treated her as a “cash cow“, constantly demanding money.
For ten years, she had been with Sylvester, yet he consistently sided with Miranda, dismissed her pain, and even doubted her when Miranda set her up.
The attached file was a meticulously compiled portfolio of evidence. There were screenshots of her father’s affair chats, her mother’s suicide note, intimate photos of Sylvester and Miranda, a copy of the fabricated marriage license, and her hospital diagnosis after being pushed into the valley.
The moment she posted, public opinion reversed instantly.
New topics surged to the top, including “Poor Henrietta“, “Sylvester, Confirmed Scum“, and “Miranda, Scheming Homewrecker“.
The comment section was flooded with voices supporting Henrietta. Netizen A: “Gosh, my heart breaks for Hattic. A trash father and the world’s blindest ex.”
Netizen B: “Ten years wasted… But she ended up winning–Mr. Hammond clearly adores her. She’s finally found the one.”
Netizen C: “Miranda, come out and apologize! And whoever started the rumors needs to be sued to the fullest.”
To everyone’s surprise, Sylvester posted a video the next day.
Sitting in an empty room, unshaven, his eyes bloodshot, he seemed utterly haggard.
He made no attempt to defend himself. In a subdued voice, he said, “I failed Hattie. It’s all my fault. Every sweet scene she wrote in her novel… We lived those moments. I didn’t cherish her. Now that she has a new life, I hope everyone can let her be. Don’t bring up the past again–or there will be consequences.”
Netizens reacted with mixed emotions. Some said he deserved it, but one comment resonated widely. “He really seems to regret it. But it’s too late.”
Soon, netizens uncovered evidence that Miranda had hired online trolls to spread the rumors. Even the story about Bruno’s death was a lie–he had been beaten over gambling debts and died in the hospital from neglect. It had nothing to do with Henrietta.
In no time, the public turned its fury on Miranda. Even Sylvester was implicated again–for “sheltering a villainess all along“.
