Were her feelings played?”
“What’s the game here? Did these guys toy with her emotions?
Despicable! She’s no pawn; she’s a person!”
“We can’t judge without the full story, but she seems genuinely hurt.”
“Gossip’s not all fun nowadays!”
Once a prominent star, Sadie was now a topic trending online, with bystanders from all walks of life jumping in, reinforcing the notion that marrying into wealth was more complicated than it seemed.
Sadie could sense the online storm brewing even without checking the trends. With her assistant and manager’s help, she exited the church and promptly dismissed the reporters. Choosing solitude in the car, she let out a heart-wrenching cry, tossing aside concerns for her image.
