Chapter 138: Another Thing Coming
"What the actual fuck—" Gloria’s voice was cut off as the call ended abruptly. She glared at the screen, muttering curses under her breath. Her first instinct was to call Amalia back and demand an explanation, but her curiosity got the better of her.
Switching off her phone’s "Do Not Disturb" mode, Gloria was immediately bombarded with a flood of messages and missed notifications. The sheer volume made her stomach churn. Among the chaos, one text caught her eye:
"Madam Gloria! The stock prices are plummeting, and the shares—"
Her heart raced. Stock prices? Shares? What was going on? She opened Instagram, where a trending post immediately caught her attention.
"Alan Latham and His Fiancée, Myra Allen, Caught in Scandalous Sex Video!"
Her breath hitched as she clicked on the post. Beneath the attention-grabbing headline, the caption read:
"The leaked video has sent shockwaves through the business world and the elite social circle of the Lathams. In the footage, the focus isn’t just on the act itself but the shocking conversation between Alan Latham and Myra Allen during their intimate encounter."
Gloria’s jaw tightened, as she continued reading.
"Myra Allen, who has recently been revealed as an illegitimate daughter by her stepsister, Ephyra Allen, is heard admitting to her role in her family’s criminal schemes. In the video, Myra is heard wishing that Ephyra had died during the car accident and subsequent attack orchestrated by her mother. She gleefully admits that Ephyra’s survival was nothing short of infuriating. Alan responds by agreeing and laughing, stating that Ephyra was lucky to have survived and adding that Marianna could always ’try again.’ This damning conversation has caused uproar online and further tarnished the Latham and Allen families’ already crumbling reputations."
