Chapter 146:
Cathy and Kristopher both looked up sharply at the sound of the voice. Belinda, who had just been in the
consultation room, was now approaching them with measured steps.
As their eyes met hers, she spoke, her tone tinged with accusation. “Miss Miller mentioned that your outburst
was due to being overwhelmed. Why is that?”
She moved closer to Cathy, who was seated in a wheelchair, and looked down at her. “You should remember that
Kristopher and | are still married. Whether he hugsor we share a bed has nothing to do with you. Why would
that upset you? Have you, with your recent high-profile outings with Kristopher, started to think of yourself as his
wife andas the other woman? What right do you have to demand that my husband and | distance ourselves
from each other? What right do you have to react so emotionally upon seeing my husband hold me?”
Belinda continued, her gaze piercing as she observed Cathy’s face turning pale. “And as an actress, didn’t your
agency teach you to watch your words and actions in public?”

While speaking, she pulled out her phone and displayed a recent news alert to them. “If you were merely
overwhelmed by emotion earlier, then how do you explain this?”
Cathy glanced at the phone, taken aback.
The screen showed a video of their earlier altercation, now making headlines.
The sensational title read, “ Queen Publicly Begs for a Hug, Original Wife Furious!”
Kristopher’s eyes narrowed as he too caught sight of the headline.

The speed at which the media acted surpassed his expectations. Barely ten minutes had passed since the
argument was caught on camera, yet the video of Cathy and Belinda’s clash had already gone viral, dominating
the top spot on local entertainment news websites. “So, I'm labeled the queen, and Miss Miller, you're
supposedly the wronged wife?”
Belinda, taking a deep breath and pocketing her phone, turned to face Cathy and Kristopher with a grave
expression. “Look, I'm just an average person. | don’t want to be the center of gossip online. | hope you two can
sort this out quickly. Otherwise, | won't hesitate to show my marriage certificate with Mr. Cox and clear up who
the real other woman is.”
Everyone has their breaking point, and Belinda felt she had reached hers.
She had exercised considerable patience, all in the hope of facilitating a smooth divorce. She carefully managed
her reactions to avoid upsetting Cathy and Kristopher, bottling up her frustrations as much as possible.
But Cathy's actions were becoming intolerably outrageous.
Despite the looming divorce, Belinda still harbored aspirations of carving out a niche for herself in the world of
jewelry design. She dreamt of seeing her designs commercially available before her tran out. Given that the
realms of jewelry and fashion often intersected with the entertainment industry, her aspirations weren't far-
fetched. But once the scandal broke, her future prospects were in jeopardy. When Belinda cacross the news,
she was furious and could no longer hold back. She confronted Cathy.
Upon hearing Belinda’s accusations, Cathy’s complexion turned ghostly white.
She bit her lip and stared at Belinda, her face etched with sorrow. “You're upset about the headlines, so you're
lashing out at me? I didn’t cause those articles to be published. Why blme? All | did was get a bit too
emotional and raised my voice. How is that my fault?”
With those words, she hastily reached out and clung to Kristopher’s arm, her eyes brimming with tears of
injustice. “Kristopher, I've stood by your side all along. You know better than anyone that I'm not behind those
articles! | haven't even used my phone. | didn’t orchestrate those reports! Why does Miss Nelson accuse me?”
Her plea visibly troubled Kristopher.
Indeed, Belinda had just departed, and Cathy had not been near her phone.
Kristopher turned to Belinda and said, “The online articles truly aren’t Cathy's doing. It's wrong to accuse her.”
