And what would his family think if they saw those posts? After all, his fiancée was Tessa.

Meanwhile, after hanging up the phone, Aurora stared at the growing storm of online rumors, completely at a loss for what to do. Left with no other option, she made the decision to publicly announce her marriage. She attached a photo of Lucas from behind, his profile faintly visible, along with the cover of their wedding photo album. After writing a brief caption and tagging Walton Corporation, she posted everything online. Only then did she feel like she could finally breathe again.

Right now, many eyes were on her; even the slightest move could cause a frenzy. She had to be careful with every word and action. Exposing Lucas wasn’t what she wanted, but if she didn’t, no one would believe her.

Sure enough, within moments of her post going live, the internet practically crashed. People flooded the post with likes, comments, and shares. So, the second heiress of Walton Corporation is actually married? If that was true, then the entire rumor about her seducing Julian instantly lost credibility.

Some users became obsessed with one detail in particular—what her husband looked like.

“No way… Look at that profile! Even half his face is ridiculously good-looking.”

“Forget everything else. Just that sharp nose—no plastic surgeon could recreate that.”

“Wait, haven’t you been to a Walton Corp gala? He showed his full face there—absolute perfection.”

Once that comment made the rounds, people started realizing Aurora hadn’t been lying. She really was married. The surprise was widespread. After all the noise and speculation online, most people had bought into the scandal. Now, realizing they’d been misled, a different kind of uproar spread—one of embarrassment, even indignation.

They’d fallen for a false narrative. They had truly believed the rumors—convinced that Aurora had done something wrong. But now, some netizens had begun to reflect.

“I think the problem is that we’re too quick to believe everything we see online. That’s how we end up getting misled.”

“Hasn’t this happened enough times already? How are we still falling for it?”

“Yeah, people get manipulated so easily. And every time, there’s always some big twist at the end.”

“After everything we’ve seen, we should’ve learned by now not to pick sides too fast. It always ends in a reversal.”

Discussions like these filled the internet as people debated and dissected the situation. Aurora read through the commentary, her heart full of mixed emotions. If she’d known things would escalate like this, maybe she should’ve released the proof earlier. But it wasn’t long before the backlash started shifting again—new volleys rising in doubt.

“Wait a second, if Aurora was married this whole time, then why would she seduce her own brother-in-law?”

“Exactly. And why didn’t she clear things up right away? Why let the rumors spread for days before saying anything?”

These comments stirred a fresh wave of confusion. People began to question why Aurora hadn’t spoken up sooner.

“And all those saying they saw her husband at the gala? That’s probably fake too.”

“Yeah, I heard she’s just one of those women who goes around flirting with her brother-in-law.”

Just like that, the tide of public opinion began to teeter again.
