The phone carried Sebastian Sheldon’s probing voice: "Hello?"
"Sebastian Sheldon, why are you calling me?"
"I saw today’s news, seems like there really is no wall in this world that can’t be pierced through.
The past you’re trying to hide, it just so happened that journalists dug it out."
"The past that I’m trying to conceal? Haha," Faye Townsend chuckled casually: "How come I don’t know about a past I want to hide.
And what are you referring to by ’news’? Is it the one where you got beaten black and blue, or the stuff about you and Hunter Warren from the past?
Regardless of which one, I’ve seen it all, how should I put it...
Sebastian Sheldon, you really are quite unlucky, I think you should go burn some incense in gratitude.
You’re such a bad person, even the heavens are disgusted with you.
That’s why they let your ex-husband beat you up like that."
"Faye Townsend, drop the useless talk with me.
My affair with Hunter getting exposed, don’t you think it’s your karma?"
"My karma? Really, such thoughts could make me laugh my teeth out."
Faye Townsend thought Sebastian Sheldon was a smart person, but sometimes she just did the dumbest things.
Sebastian Sheldon must believe that this exposure would affect her.
But in reality, it not only didn’t affect her, she could also use this to completely sever any connection between Hunter Warren and Sebastian Sheldon.
Sebastian Sheldon thought her actions were flawless, that no one knew it was her doing.
But any slightly intelligent person could guess who leaked the information.
Back then, there were only a few that knew about her and Hunter Warren’s affair.
Roman Hughes, Owen Lennon, brother Henry and her, none of them would be bored enough to go tell the media.
The only one left, then, was Sebastian Sheldon.
She thought revealing this would be good for her, playing the pitiable fool.
Even though indeed her image as the tragic heroine gained a lot of sympathy, once her facade was stripped away, she would be the most unfortunate one of all.
Faye Townsend sneered: "You said that you once dated my husband, I’m curious, do you have any evidence? Any witnesses?
I really can’t understand why my husband, a man with wealth and power, would bother with a plain woman like you.
Do you think you’re more excellent than me? Have a better family background? Or are you saying you’re more attractive, that’s why you’re spouting nonsense here?
You claim you were previously in a relationship with Hunter, your word is taken as truth?
Then should all the women in the world come forward claiming they’ve dated Hunter, and he should just accept it?
Stop joking, Sebastian Sheldon, do you know why until now we’re still letting you perform your solo act, with nobody coming to debunk you?"
Faye Townsend stopped here, her sneer causing Sebastian Sheldon to grow suspicious.
She wondered why Faye Townsend didn’t continue.
"You really think I have no evidence?
Back then, Hunter moved out of his home and stayed in the apartment I rented.
The old neighbors from that time can vouch for me."
"Ha, I have never heard of Hunter Warren running away from home for you before?
Sebastian Sheldon, are you shooting a romance film?
Or do you really believe that ugly duckling to swan story, the one where she ends up by the Prince’s side?
Marrying within one’s social class is a deeply entrenched idea in our circle.
From birth, we know that our future marriages should either be to someone from the political scene or the business world.
Only by such marriages can we form powerful alliances and create benefits for the family.
We all understand this principle, do you think someone as wise as Hunter would not?
You say Hunter once lived with you in the Commoners’ Slum?
Ha, that’s utterly laughable.
Go on then, try getting those old neighbors to testify for you, see if they can remember what Hunter looked like back then.
I believe, no one can help you, because Hunter Warren has never lived there."
Sebastian Sheldon let out a cold laugh: "You really know how to twist the truth."
"Who’s twisting the truth, we both know very well, so Sebastian Sheldon, spare me the nonsense."
"Faye Townsend, let me tell you, don’t be so smug. I’m not the same person I used to be.
You should be well aware that if I want to deal with you and Hunter, I have plenty of ways."
"Hah," Faye Townsend’s sarcastic laugh: "Suit yourself, do you think I’ll just sit around doing nothing?
Since you’ve warned me , I might as well give you a serious warning in return.
Listen well, even God deals out cards in order.
Do you think you’re the only one who can draw good cards? I’m holding cards in my hand that can crush you."
