My coldhearted ex demands a remarriage

Chapter 651:

Carrie’s curiosity deepened. “Did something happen?”

If it weren’t for the fact that their suggestions were all tied to wealth and influence, she might have thought the Morrison family’s stock prices had plummeted.

Arion suddenly stood up, his movements unnaturally hurried as he tried to hide something behind his back. “Carrie, whatever you do, don’t check your phone today.”

Before he could finish, Kody gave him a tap on the head with a financial magazine. “From now on, keep your mouth shut at home. No talking unless it’s absolutely necessary.”

Carrie, not thinking much of it, instinctively asked, “Is there another trending topic on social media, like Twitter?”

Jenesis gently led her to the mahogany sofa. “It’s nothing serious, really. Reece is already handling the situation. Do not worry, it won’t affect your career. It’s just that it will take a bit of effort to explain things in Isonridge’s high society.”

Carrie, sensing something was off, pulled out her phone and checked the social media platform.

The first headline she saw read: The Morrison Brothers Compete for the Affection of the Same Woman, Extraordinary Tactics of the Divorced Woman from a Small Town.

The images attached showed her and Reece arm in arm in a restaurant, followed by photos of a scene with Arion, cleverly staged to look like an intimate moment between the two of them, rather than a rehearsed scene.

The controversy quickly snowballed. While her marriage to Kristopher had not yet been made public, netizens had already pieced together her celebrity status as Carrie, drawing conclusions that her success was tied to the Morrison family’s influence. Some even speculated that her identity as Katrine had been bought, questioning how someone so young could have written such profound scripts.

Luca slammed his fist on the table in frustration. “The media in Isonridge needs to be shaken up. They will write anything to gain attention.”

Carrie quickly stood up, trying to calm Luca down. “Luca, it’s not worth getting upset over. I have dealt with these kinds of negative topics before. It’s normal for public figures to face these things.”

Luca was unmoved. “Normal? Jenesis is in the entertainment industry, but when has anyone ever dared to write about her like this?”

Carrie fell silent.

Which paparazzi would ever dare to target Jenesis, the Morrison family’s princess?

Reece, guilt flickering in his eyes, spoke up, his voice low. “This is my fault. That day, I did not clarify my relationship with Carrie, thinking the misunderstanding would make Kristopher give up. I never imagined it would bring this kind of trouble her way. In the end, it’s because of Carrie’s background that people in Isonridge do not take her seriously. We need to bring forward the family recognition banquet—so no one dares to underestimate her again.”

Upon hearing this, Luca gave a firm nod and turned toward Kody. “How are the preparations for the family reunion banquet coming along?” he asked, his tone businesslike.

Kody let out a weary sigh, rubbing his temples. “I reviewed the guest list you put together. Honestly, Dad, you’ve practically invited half of Isonridge’s elite. There is no way the family estate can accommodate that crowd. I had to arrange for the event to be held at the suburban estate. We haven’t been there in years, so it needs some serious sprucing up.”

“Speaking of events,” Jenesis chimed in, rummaging through her handbag. “I almost forgot something important. The day after tomorrow is Kyson Webster’s birthday. The invitation arrived a few days ago, but since none of you were home, I held onto it.” She pulled out an embossed invitation and waved it at them.

Kody shrugged dismissively. “It’s just another younger person’s birthday. Reece or Arion can handle it, like they always do.”noveldrama
