Chapter 1663 First Love
"When Megan had an accident, you accused Laura of kidnapping her and angrily called us.
"During the divorce, you and Laura fought over the child. You said Megan couldn't have children due to an unexpected pregnancy and wanted to take Laura's child as compensation.
"After the divorce, you didn't give Laura a single cent in alimony. Even so, she didn't stop you from seeing Maeve. But how many times have you visited the child?
"Once you saw Megan's true colors, you wanted to reconcile with Laura. She refused because she had moved on with her life, and you started to slander her.
"I've never met a man as vicious as you. I won't let you bully my daughter anymore. She was extremely unfortunate to marry you.
"Back when Laura worked at your company, you bullied her and accused her of plagiarism. We never mentioned those things, but it doesn't mean we've forgotten.
"When you accuse others, think about yourself. Who's the real bully here?"
After Rose finished angrily, the video ended.
Rose, over fifty years old, appeared on a public platform for the first time.
But Rose didn't care. Laura had suffered enough injustice, and Rose didn't want to endure it any longer.
It was already the next morning, and the scandal had spread all over Madison.
Even office workers were discussing the Presidential Palace incident while at work.
"Did you see the news about Derek and Laura this morning?"
As soon as the question was asked, the whole office buzzed with discussion.
"Who doesn't know? Even my seventy-year-old grandma knows. Look at my dark circles; I didn't sleep at all last night, just following this."
"It was on the morning news today. My parents are also following it."
"So, what do you think is going on? Did you see the interview with Laura's mom?"
"Yeah, I saw it. This is the first time someone from the Miller family has appeared in public, right? They didn't even speak up during Laura's divorce. They must be really angry this time."
"I can understand. If my daughter were treated like that, I'd be furious too."
"But what did Laura's mom mean when she said Michael accused Laura of plagiarism?"
"I vaguely remember that. A few years ago, there were rumors about Laura seducing Megan's brother. Laura was bashed online, and then it came out that her product was plagiarized. She was blacklisted by the entire beauty industry in Madison."
"I remember now. I think I saw an interview with Laura back then. She was forced to leave the country. When she came back, she became the youngest formulator globally, clearing her name with her skills."
"So, Laura's mom is saying Michael deliberately accused Laura?"
"That could be true. I heard Laura worked at the Ocean Blue Group years ago."
"Fuck, and then Laura married Michael? Laura's really unlucky."
"When Megan was sentenced, it was said that Nathan drugged Laura, and she ended up sleeping with Michael, leading to her pregnancy and marriage. Women always get the short end of the stick in these situations."
"So, Laura's really had it rough."
"Don't be so quick to pity Laura. The circles of the rich are dark; the truth is often more complicated than it seems."
"True."
Similar conversations were happening all over Madison.
By 9:30 AM, an account registered as "Mr. Harrison, CEO of the Hayes Group" posted a statement on a public platform: [I've been following the online discussions about Laura since last night. It's been a long time, but I feel the need to speak up for Laura.
I was Laura's first love. We met in college. Laura is a wonderful girl. Unfortunately, I was foolish back then and repeatedly hurt her because of a girl I grew up with.
I even stood her family up on the day I was supposed to meet them to discuss marriage because of another woman.
Later, Laura broke up with me.
We went through a lot and had many unpleasant experiences.
But I eventually realized that I didn't cherish that relationship.
We were together for three years. When Laura was sick, I wasn't there for her. When we went shopping or on dates, there was always a girl I grew up with tagging along.
Looking back, I was foolish and selfish.
Laura is genuinely a good person. As her first love, I believe no one knows her better than I do. The Miller family may not be as prominent as the Jude family, but she was raised with love by her parents and brother. She is optimistic, kind, generous, sincere, and passionate about love.
Although she sometimes speaks bluntly and can hurt people, Laura never has bad intentions.
I don't understand why Michael would use such words to slander her.
Justice is in people's hearts. Michael knows what kind of person Laura is, but he wants to defame his ex-wife, and there's nothing we can do about it.
All I can say is that the Laura I know has a strong sense of morality. She would never be involved with another man while married.
Not even during our relationship. Even when I was often cold to her and rarely spent time with her, she never got close to other men. She just kept her grievances to herself.
She is such a hardworking and upward-moving girl. She shouldn't have to live a life of being criticized.
Her life and love shouldn't be so rocky.
This is all I can do for her.
My name is Benjamin. If you don't believe me, you can investigate. Everything I said is true.]
Benjamin didn't have many followers initially, but because it involved Laura, it quickly gained a lot of attention online.
Netizens immediately started digging, and soon, photos of Laura and Benjamin during their college romance surfaced. Even Benjamin's past was thoroughly investigated.
[I can vouch for this. Laura and Benjamin were college sweethearts and were an enviable couple at our school.]
[I remember now. Laura pursued Benjamin, but he was pretty indifferent to her. Later, I heard they broke up, and Benjamin got together with a girl he grew up with.]
[That girl he grew up with wasn't a good person either. She married an old man. I heard Benjamin betrayed Laura first.]
[So, Laura's really pitiful. Her first love betrayed her, her husband betrayed her, and now her ex-husband is trying to smear her name just as she's starting over.]
