When the Contract Marriage Ended, He Stayed

Chapter 14

Chapter 14: This Isn’t My Mess to Clean Up

The next day.

Dylan Miller woke up in the hospital only to faint again. This happened several times until she had a complete breakdown. She never imagined that all the dirt she had tried so hard to hide would suddenly be exposed online in an instant.

The netizens who had previously supported her immediately turned on her. Her Weibo account had long been paralyzed by traffic, and her agent had dropped her after the first time she’d gone after Hazel Hawthorne. Now, she was well and truly isolated and helpless.

Dylan Miller broke down crying, but no one cared.

Hazel Hawthorne, who had heard the news, was too busy basking in the joy of passing her job interview to care how Aiden Xavier was handling his latest tabloid scandal.

When Aiden Xavier called her, she was in high spirits, shopping at a mall. Aiden gave her a generous monthly allowance, and since she was about to officially start work, she had to buy herself a few new outfits.

She couldn’t embarrass Aiden Xavier, nor could she embarrass herself, Hazel Hawthorne. More importantly, she couldn’t let her own stunning looks go to waste.

With just a little effort, she could be the most dazzling sight on the street.

After trying on some clothes, Hazel Hawthorne asked the sales associate to bag up the ones she liked. She was in the middle of paying when Aiden Xavier’s call came through.

Lately, Aiden Xavier had been calling a bit too frequently for her liking, and it was making Hazel somewhat uncomfortable.

A flash of impatience crossed her face. She handed her card to the cashier and stepped aside to answer the call.

"You haven’t seen the news?" Having dealt with the Dylan Miller situation, Aiden Xavier had waited a long time for a thank-you call from Hazel that never came.

Hazel was confused. "I don’t particularly enjoy reading your tabloid scandals. I do follow other current events, though. What is it? Do you have a new rumored girlfriend that you need me to deal with?"
