381 The Past
At that time, even their friends and families, who had some understanding of the Huo Family’s situation, seemed to have forgotten that the wealthy businessman already had a wife and two children. When they saw the female celebrity, they would respectfully call her sister-in-law.
For Mrs. Huo, this was the third marriage crisis she had experienced ever since her maternal family had fallen as well as when Mr. Huo had wanted a political marriage with an uprising wealthy family.
The marriage crisis this time made Mrs. Huo even more panicked than the previous two times. This was because, in the previous two times, she had been able to convince Mr. Huo to give up on the idea of divorce by showing her value and tying him down with benefits. However, this time, Mr. Huo seemed to have really fallen for that female celebrity.
Back then, Mr. Huo had lived for more than 30 years and finally had the taste of love for the first time.
Mrs. Huo knew very well that love would make people lose their rationality. If their relationship became deeper and more passionate, Mr. Huo would definitely make up his mind to abandon his family and marry his true love.
When Mrs. Huo first heard this news, she wasn’t as afraid as she was later on. She thought that she understood Mr. Huo’s personality well enough and felt that he was just fooling around outside. In the end, he would return to his family.
Therefore, Mrs. Huo only got a private investigator to keep an eye on Mr. Huo and his lover out of the wariness that a wealthy lady should have.
Mrs. Huo was determined to be a good wife and mother. She had never shown any abnormality in front of Mr. Huo and had even invested more time and energy into taking care of the children. She was determined to let Mr. Huo feel a warm family atmosphere the moment he returned home.
However, one day, Mrs. Huo received a message from the private investigator. Mr. Huo had personally looked for a designer to customize a diamond ring for him. This made Mrs. Huo start to feel nervous and afraid.
After a while, the private investigator sent another message saying that Mr. Huo had secretly planned a grand ceremony and wanted to propose to his lover in public on her birthday.
This news caught Mrs. Huo off guard. What made her even more panicked was that the female celebrity’s birthday was coming soon and she no longer had time to make any preparations.
In a hurry, Mrs. Huo thought of a method that was unknown if it was a brilliant or foolish one. She brought the two children with her and secretly contacted a few paparazzi. The group of them blocked Mr. Huo and her lover in their newly bought villa.
That was an extremely chaotic day. Mrs. Huo hugged the two children and cried non-stop in front of Mr. Huo and his lover. The flashes captured everyone’s expressions clearly. Under the reporters’ lethal penmanship, everything was decided.
A popular female celebrity was shameless to be a third party who deliberately destroyed other people’s families and was despised by everyone.
Amongst them, the only person who had a positive image was Mrs. Huo. She had been portrayed by the paparazzi as a pitiful woman who had painstakingly raised her two children. Although she knew that her husband was fooling around outside, she had always been quietly protecting her family, hoping that her husband would change his mind.
Overnight, the popular celebrity with a good reputation and image was criticized by public opinion. No matter where she went, she would meet reporters who were holding cameras and microphones and forcing her to confess her crime.
The fans who supported her and praised her also turned from loving to hating her. They would even camp outside her house and throw rotten vegetables and rotten eggs at her the moment she appeared…
That popular celebrity wasn’t ruthless enough, nor did she cultivate the shamelessness to ignore public opinion. In the end, she was still crushed by public opinion back then. She left the country with her family with the savings she had saved up from acting.
Back then, Mr. Huo naturally hated Mrs. Huo, who had caused this mess. However, because of the exposure of the scandal, the Huo Corporation also suffered some impact. By the time Mr. Huo was done with the company’s crisis, his beloved lover had already left for another country.
Back then, Mr. Huo had probably really fallen in love with that woman. He had chased her abroad, wanting to salvage this relationship, but in the end, he came back alone in a sorry state.
In Mrs. Huo’s memories, that was the first time Mr. Huo had gotten so angry. He glared at her as if he wanted to kill her.
