Goodbye My Arrogant Ex (Marguerite and Leonard) novel Chapter 151

The headlines practically leapt off the screen, bold and irresistible:

“Murphy Corp. heir Leonard spotted at hospital late at night with Ms. Brown—wedding bells soon?”

“Murphy Corp. CEO Leonard set to announce engagement—romance with Ms. Brown confirmed!”

“Congratulations on your engagement, Leonard of Murphy Corp.!”

Leonard heard the news almost immediately. One of his assistants rushed in to report it, looking anxious. He distinctly remembered how late it had been when he’d taken that woman to the hospital the night before—how on earth had this story exploded so quickly, and right onto the front page?

Within mere minutes, the article’s comment section was flooded, numbers climbing by the second. The buzz was even hotter than when a celebrity announces their new relationship.

Someone had to be pulling strings behind the scenes. That was the only explanation.

What bothered him most was how suddenly the news had broken. It had been almost midnight, the hospital halls practically deserted—how had the paparazzi managed to catch them at that hour? He’d been careful, thorough, making sure no one followed. The whole thing reeked of a setup.

And deep down, he couldn’t shake the suspicion that Winifred was behind it all—she was the only one who stood to gain.

The comments section was a tidal wave. People were sending congratulations, dredging up old stories, even mentioning that Winifred had once saved Leonard’s life.

Marguerite shivered—the internet could be a terrifying place. The story was being twisted, exaggerated, and no one seemed to care about the truth.

Some said Leonard was only with Winifred out of obligation, that there was no real love there—just a debt to repay. Others insisted that if he didn’t end up with Winifred, karma would catch up with him, that he owed her his happiness.

Marguerite felt a headache blooming behind her eyes. Their engagement was right around the corner—why did this have to happen now?
