Public opinion skyrocketed to its peak.
When Ben and Susan picked up their phones, they were greeted with countless missed calls and messages all at once.

Both of them were speechless.
After a while, Susan gritted her teeth and said, “What did you do?” Ben said innocently, “I didn’t know that some people had such a wild imagination.” Susan glared at him.
Ben rubbed his chin. “Being your gigolo has a certain, uh, charm to it.” “Get lost,” Susan snapped, giving him a stern glare. “If you keep making jokes like that, | might just consider hiring a real gigolo!” Ben apologized, “... Forgive me!” “Hurry up and deal with it.” Susan couldn't be bothered with him. After saying that, she went downstairs first.
She knew it was a misunderstanding. All that mattered was for Ben to show up, and the issue would be resolved.
Therefore, she didn’t pay much attention to it. She didn’t even bother checking Twitter.
After Susan went downstairs, Ben checked his Twitter, and his brows furrowed even more with each passing moment.
Even though it was a misunderstanding.
But there were clearly some individuals who were here to guide the situation.
It was just a photo. How could it have blown up to this extent overnight? Who would JM Chapter 123 believe it if there wasn't someone behind it? L Those marketing accounts that reposted it as quickly as possible were definitely not innocent.

Suddenly, a voice filled with both astonishment and delight echoed through the room.
Leo rushed in quickly.
“Mom, Grandpa, do you know? Susan cheated on Ben!” Leo shouted.
Penelope panicked. “Leo, what are you talking about.” “Mom, I'm not just blabbering. It's all over Twitter. The Landor family can’t endure this humiliation. Grandpa, we should try to convince Ben to...” Leo said excitedly.
“To what?” Ben asked indifferently.
“Ben, | need to tell you...” Leo suddenly turned his head and gazed at Ben, who had removed all the fake scars, leaving Leo momentarily stunned.
“Keep going.” Ben looked at him expressionlessly.
Leo couldn't help trembling. “Aren't... You the one in the photo...” 09:47 HP Ben glanced at him. “What? You don't recognize me after removing the scars?” Leo was speechless with shock Could these scars be willingly removed? Then why didn’t Ben remove them in the past?

So what if Ben was capable? wx His face was so terrifying that anyone who caught sight of him would instantly feel fear.

Leo suddenly grew nervous and, in a panic, exclaimed, “It's still in progress, Ben. I'll rush over and urge them right away.
As Leo spoke, he slipped away.
Ben snorted and ignored him.
Charlie observed the spectacle and couldn't resist giving Penelope a sidelong look. “Your two sure are cut from the same cloth, like mother, like son.” Penelope smiled awkwardly. “We care too much about Ben. We're afraid that he will suffer losses.
“Come on, you know what your purpose is,” Charlie said coldly.
“Dad, what are you talking about? I'm...” Penelope was about to explain.
Charlie couldn't be bothered to listen. He looked directly at Ben and said, “Susan has been treated unfairly this time. You need to handle this matter properly.” 23% 09:47 Chapter 123 “Don't worry,” Ben replied seriously.

At the Storm Group.
At this moment, the staff forum was in chaos.
Countless people were talking about Mrs. Landor’s affair.
Some people didn’t believe it.
Some people firmly believed it.
Everyone was in a heated argument.
In the end, this opinion remained the most widely accepted, [Whether she cheated or not, a married woman having dinner with a stranger and even getting in a car with him shows a complete lack of propriety! To put it succinctly, | believe Susan has tarnished her image in my eyes.] The ones most resistant to believing were those who staunchly supported Ben and Susan as a couple.
[I don’t think Susan cheated! She and Mr. Landor are a good match.] [How could Susan be so shallow, only concerned with appearances?] These people didn’t believe it at all.
But some people also pointed out one thing, [The issue here is that the man appears to be exceptionally good-looking. Even though I'm already married, if a man like that were to pursue me, I'd find it hard to resist.] [While it might be a bit embarrassing, | have to admit, | agree with you.] Just when the forum was in a mess.

The system notification appeared, indicating that the chief administrator was online.
Wasn't this Ben's account? The onlookers thought, “It's so exciting!” After Ben logged in, his first action was to delete a significant number of posts.
Then, he went ahead and published a post, pinning it from his official account.
[First and foremost, | want to offer my sincerest apologies. Over the past decade, I've worn fake scars and played a massive joke on all of you .Secondly since last night, many people have made baseless allegations against my wife. | will be releasing a lawyer's statement on Twitter soon for those who wish to follow it. Lastly, please adjust to my new image as soon as possible] There was a lot of information in this post.
Everyone was at a loss for a long time before coming to their senses.
[What... what did he mean?] dm Chapter 123 T [Does this mean that the scars on Mr. Landor’s face are actually fake?] [Oh my god! I'm a little flustered. Let me figure everything out!] After some meaningless comments, someone finally spoke.
