The Apology from My Ex and His Mistress novel Chapter 179

“Yeah, she could do anything, so what did it mean when my brother got sidelined back then?”

“Yeah, and my sister too. She used to be a top star in the entertainment industry, but she got banned because of that thing.”

“If someone like Serena could keep staying in the entertainment industry, then I wanted my sister to make a comeback!”

There was a lot of talk online, and for a while, Serena’s support rate dropped like crazy.

It wasn’t just Stephanie and Jeremiah watching these, Maxwell was

too.

Maxwell didn’t say a word on the way back to Everbloom Floral Studio with Roxanne.

He just wondered if maybe he didn’t really know Roxanne anymore.

Roxanne didn’t say anything either.

Ever since she used the resources from the Humphrey Group’s entertainment division, a lot of things just couldn’t be avoided.

Adding this time that some mysterious force moved in, just using Kenneth’s team wasn’t enough for her, so she used the Humphrey Group’s resources again.

She just took a shortcut.

as a lesson, this time she made some separation.

Only used the Humphrey Group’s resources to fight back against her bad guesses.

There was also the thing about exposing Serena’s miscarriage.

The stuff about “trading power for sex” and “fraudulent donations” was secretly handled by Kenneth’s team on her orders.

So, the only info Maxwell got was that she told the team to fight back against “false rumors,” and that little pushback let others know Serena had a miscarriage.

The others might have guessed, but as long as she didn’t admit it, it was just rumors.

We stayed quiet the whole way.

It wasn’t until the car stopped in front of Everbloom Floral Studio that Roxanne spoke.

“Max, I knew you had opinions about me,” she said, “but I didn’t want to lie to you either.”

“If I wanted to do it secretly, I could just go to Simon. Simon definitely wanted to take down Jeremiah.‘

“But I chose to let you see another side of me.”

Roxanne looked at Maxwell.

At that moment, Maxwell’s dark eyes were full of emotions she couldn’t understand.

“She was targeting me like that, so I needed to fight back. I just exposed her miscarriage, and what I said was true. She really had a

“Some things we just couldn’t avoid, so let’s not avoid them.”

Looking at Roxanne crying, Maxwell didn’t know how he felt.

He knew people were complicated and had many sides.

It was like Stephanie had been by his side for so many years, and he never thought Stephanie didn’t have any tricks up her sleeve.

Even, a lot of things, he preferred to let Stephanie know, let her do them, let her feel what it was like to take things into her own hands, instead of just accepting them passively.

He hoped that even if one day he wasn’t by her side, she could still live well.

But he still thought that people needed to have boundaries.

This was the rule that made the world work, and it was also the foundation of trust between people.

Roxanne, did she really just expose Serena’s miscarriage?
