Billionaire's Regret: Losing Me And Our Son - Chapter 60: Chapter 60

After we had our fill, I used the excuse of going to the washroom to leave the table and pay the bill. Then, I found out that Shirley had paid for it in advance.
After sending York away, Shirley held my arm affectionately and asked, "Natalia, are you free to go shopping with me today?"
"Sure." I smiled. For some reason, I was drawn to Shirley.
Since I didn't get to pay for lunch, I could treat her to afternoon tea later.
I accompanied Shirley while she checked out various high-end brands. She was picky and only bought two dresses after three hours of shopping.
"Mrs. Smith, you don't seem to be interested in these brands." Seeing her lack of interest, I asked curiously, "Do you have a brand you like?"
Shirley replied, "I've always lived abroad and am used to all kinds of popular styles, but I like our Neglanan style the most. I especially love Neglanan-style gowns. It fits me nicely and accentuates my curves. I think it's the best design in the world."
Indeed, Shirley looked elegant in Neglanan-style gowns.
She told me that the Smith family had their own tailor. The emerald-colored gown she was wearing when I first met her was made by their tailor, Penny Stone.
"Speaking of which, Penny has made many of my clothes since I was young. Not only do all the clothes she makes fit me perfectly, but she is also proficient in embroidery." Shirley looked at me and smiled gently. "Next time, I'll get her to tailor a gown for you. Natalia, you'll definitely look great in a Neglanan-style gown."
I said, "I'll thank you in advance then."
In the blink of an eye, it was time for afternoon tea. We walked into a cafe.
My phone rang. It was a call from Raelynn. The moment I picked up the call, she asked without any context, "Ms. Hinton, are you and Mr. Madden really divorced?"
"What?" I was stunned. I wasn't sure what had happened.
Right then, a news reporter was reporting the latest news on the television in the cafe. The reporter reported, "This afternoon, the Madden Group publicly announced the divorce of Mr. Quinn Madden, the CEO, and Ms. Natalia Hinton."
I hung up the call, my eyes glued to the screen.
The footage from the press conference was shown on screen. The spokesperson from the Madden Group's PR department held a press conference to formally announce my divorce with Quinn.
The spokesperson announced, "Mr. Quinn Madden and Ms. Natalia Hinton have ended their three-year marriage due to personal reasons."
Raelynn sent me a bunch of stuff over WhatsApp.
I clicked into a Twitter link she had sent me. It was a post by someone whom the Madden Group had paid to defame me. This anonymous informant exposed the reason for my divorce online.
The post read: [Natalia Hinton was lucky to be able to marry Quinn Madden, but she was discontented with what she had. As a married woman, she flirted with many men and brought chaos to the Madden family. The death of her child might be karma. After the child passed away, Quinn was extremely sad, while Natalia acted as if nothing had happened. She even went on a date with a man on the day of her child's funeral. Recently, the Hinton family used the Madden family's name to ask for investment funds. Natalia was also caught red-handed sleeping with someone. Unable to bear the stress any longer, Quinn finally requested for a divorce.]
The same account posted another post. [Since Natalia was caught cheating, she didn't get any alimony. Rumor has it that she asked for Madden Group shares, but her request was, of course, denied by Mr. Alex Madden. She was shameless.]
The Madden Group's PR department was worthy of its reputation. These posts portrayed me as an ungrateful and shameless street rat.
