Chapter 1661 I Have Nothing Left to Lose
[I never thought about getting a divorce. Yes, I was stupid and got tricked by Megan, but at that time, I just felt sorry for her. I always knew I loved Laura. It was just that your frequent contact with each other provoked me. That time, I got drunk and was sent to Megan's place by a friend, and that's how I accidentally ended up sleeping with her.
[It was just that one time. When I woke up, my clothes were intact. I had no idea I had done something wrong, which led to Megan getting pregnant. I begged not to get a divorce. I didn't want to lose my wife and child."
[It was Derek who forced me to divorce. He even teamed up with my own sister to kick me out of the Jude family, leaving me with nothing and unable to fight back. I could only watch helplessly as I was forced to divorce and see my wife and child go with someone else."
[The child is my own. How could I not like my own child? But some people kept preventing me from visiting my daughter at the Presidential Palace, causing our relationship to become more and more distant. I just want to say, you shouldn't use their status to push others too far."
[In the past, I kept quiet for the sake of the child, but now I've been pushed to the edge. I don't want to endure it anymore. Anyway, I have nothing left to lose.]
At the end, Michael posted a video and a photo.
The video showed Laura and Derek hugging as they walked out of a restaurant, with Derek occasionally lowering his head to kiss Laura.
The photo was from a party, showing Derek and Laura standing together. Laura had her head down, and Derek was touching her head with a gentle look in his eyes.
Netizens who were repeatedly checking the messages saw Michael's post and immediately got excited again.
However, many netizens had different opinions.
[So is the video evidence that Laura and Derek betrayed their marriage while she was still married? If so, these two are really disgusting.]
[To summarize Michael's point: 1. Derek is lying; Laura betrayed Michael while she was still married. 2. Derek used his status as the president's son to steal his Michael's wife and teamed up with Julia to suppress Michael. 3. The president's family doesn't allow Michael to see his daughter. 4. Michael never wanted to divorce Laura; he loved her, and the divorce was forced upon him.]
[Michael seems quite pitiful. I heard he was the heir to the Jude Group but was inexplicably kicked out of the Jude family. Turns out it was Derek's doing. If I were Michael, I'd be furious too. The world of the rich is indeed complicated.]
[Please, open your eyes and look carefully. Didn't you notice? The Laura in the video is very slim, with longer, dyed hair, similar to her recent photos. It's clearly a recent video. But in the photo, Laura is chubbier, with shoulder-length hair, more like how she looked around the time of the divorce.]
[Now that you mention it, Derek did say they were dating. So it's normal for couples to occasionally hug and kiss, even recently.]
[Even if the video is recent, the photo can't be faked. Just look at the photo; they seem so intimate, especially Derek's gaze. Laura couldn't possibly not know. These two must have been together for a long time.]
[Please, didn't you see Laura with her head down? How could she see Derek's gaze? And Derek admitted he liked Laura a long time ago. Isn't it normal to look at the person you love with gentle eyes?]
[Is touching her head normal? I think it's very improper. Derek's words may not be true.]
[What's so strange about that? During that time, Laura's husband betrayed her. Derek touching her head to comfort her is normal, isn't it?]
[Touching her head can show that Derek has feelings for Laura, but to say they were together last year is not certain. Think about it, if they really had something going on before, why would Michael post a recent kissing video and a photo from last year together? Clearly, he's trying to confuse us. And did you notice? The video and photo have no timestamps. Michael is really cunning.]
[Although I'm not sure what's going on between Derek and Laura, Michael isn't a good person Does he think the internet has no memory? Now that time has passed, he makes himself look pitiful. If Michael had any sense of responsibility as a husband, he shouldn't have taken in his ex-girlfriend and arranged a place for Megan to stay."
"That's true. He got drunk, and his friends didn't send him back to his wife but to Megan's place. What does that say? It says Michael's friends knew he liked Megan more."
"Michael's entire post doesn't show any sign of him admitting his mistakes, which means he's an extremely selfish person."
Netizens were fiercely debating.
Some were cursing Derek, some were cursing Michael, and some were cursing Laura.
The internet was no longer entirely supportive of Laura and Derek as it had been before.
In the Presidential Palace, Derek had barely slept all night.
When he saw Michael's post, he immediately asked his secretary to gather information from the internet.
"Mr. Derek Jude, we investigated the data. Michael hired people to comment. Although a large portion of people online remain rational and don't blindly believe Michael, some have started to doubt your words. When the day breaks and traffic surges again, many might believe those hired commenters and side with Michael."
The secretary was very angry as he spoke. "Michael is really shameless. He's slandering you and the Presidential Palace. When has the president or the first lady ever made things difficult for Michael? It's clearly Michael who doesn't want to come and spend time with his child, yet he blames it on you."
Derek crossed his hands on the table, staring at the photo of him touching Laura's head on his phone without saying a word.
He just didn't expect Michael to have such a good memory.
The only time he touched Laura's head in public, and Michael remembered it.
Seeing this, the assistant cautiously asked, "Should we hire people to comment?"
"Of course, but we also need to provide evidence to show the netizens how many lies Michael has told." Derek lifted his eyes. "Didn't he say the Presidential Palace doesn't let him see his child? Then find the surveillance footage from the Presidential Palace that shows every time he came and took Maeve to the garden. There must be plenty of footage. Also, this photo was taken at a party we attended with Michael years ago. Get the entire video and post it so people can see what the situation was like between Laura and me at that time. And the video Michael posted."
