Chapter 263: The Recording Exposed
In the aftermath of her sobbing, Rachel had lost everything.
Colin threw five thousand dollars onto the ground and left without a second thought. He had always been a playboy, changing women as easily as changing clothes. Once he had what he wanted, he never cherished it. Expecting any compassion from such a man was futile.
Rachel, trembling, picked up the scattered bills from the floor, tears streaming down her face. Her eyes burned with hatred. If only she had been born into a wealthy family, she wouldn’t have to worry about money, and none of this would have happened.
Sitting on the floor, clutching the money tightly in her hands, she gritted her teeth, muttering through her sobs, "Leah, Ella... you two bitches, just wait and see!"

A few days passed, and things seemed calm.
Just when James thought the storm had passed, his assistant knocked frantically on his office door. Before James could respond, the assistant barged in, panting with panic written all over his face, holding an iPad but struggling to find the right words.
"Mr. Nelson... something bad has happened... really bad!" the assistant stammered, his breath ragged.
James’ expression darkened. The unease in his chest intensified. "What is it? Speak up!" he barked.
The assistant, trembling, handed over the iPad. "This morning... someone posted an audio recording on that popular forum... and the news outlets have already picked it up!"
"What recording?" James was on the verge of losing his temper. His assistant’s fragmented explanations were infuriating.
