Chapter 385
Cassie offered a wry smile, her words lost in the silence. She couldn't help but wonder if Rosalind had forgotten the disheveled state she was in.
The aftermath of Joseph's interview had sent shockwaves through the online community, causing a swift and dramatic shift in public sentiment.
"Good heavens, so Joseph and Cassie have been wedded all this while. That implies Cassie wasn't the mistress; they're a legally bound couple, with Luna playing the role of the interloper."
"Upon reflection, aside from those snapshots of Joseph and Luna in the grass, there was never any public display of affection, whereas Joseph was seen purchasing jewelry alongside Cassie. It's evidently a genuine love story."
"Suddenly, I find myself empathizing with Cassie; the Hernandez family didn't accept her, and we've all been unjustly criticizing her."
"Joseph, I apologize. You're truly honorable, defending your wife against the New York elite. That's commendable."
"So, it appears the Hernandez family stripped him of his CEO title because he chose to be with Cassie."
"Goodness, Joseph renounced his position for Cassie. Such noble men still exist. I'm deeply moved."
"I regret boycotting Joseph. Henceforth, I'll endorse products from any of his enterprises."
At the Chapman residence, Luna and Vera were seething with fury.
Leo Chapman had grown weary of their tantrums, observing as the mother-daughter pair wreaked havoc throughout the house like tempests.
"This can't be true! How could Joseph and Cassie have wed four months ago?" Luna's features contorted in rage. "He claimed he never courted me. How could he betray me like this? He even visited our home, held my hand... And now, everyone's labeling me the other woman, shaming me..."
"That blasted Joseph, who could've predicted?" Vera was equally taken aback. She had spent days basking in the delight that her daughter was on the brink of an engagement with a member of the esteemed Stark family.
She had assumed Joseph would be ruined, incapable of bouncing back.
She had even contemplated molding Luna's image in Madison as a woman of high standing.
But the situation had reversed within a day.
Joseph held a marriage certificate, tangible evidence of his commitment.
Infuriated, Vera directed her ire towards Leo. "Were you aware of this all along, feigning that David was Cassie's betrothed? Are you making fools of us?"
Luna, too, vented her anguish. "Father, why didn't you inform me? You've always favored Cassie."
"You two are out of your minds. I'm tired of this incessant chaos. Keep the house. Once Luna's wedding with the Starks is over, we're getting a divorce."
With that, Leo Chapman packed his belongings and promptly vacated the Chapman estate.
