The assistant's voice carried a strange edge, one Alex could not quite identify. It unsettled him in a way he could not explain.
Still, he forced himself to remain composed, suppressing the tight knot that had begun to twist uncomfortably in his chest.
"What scandal?" Alex asked, his eyes fixed on his phone as he attempted to pull up the news. His tone was controlled, but there was an underlying tension he could not hide.
Before his assistant could respond, a notification flashed across his screen. The headline alone was enough to make his breath hitch.
Shocking Reveal: Daughter of the Whyte family proved to be a mistress.
Alex's brows drew together sharply. The bluntness of the statement irritated him, but curiosity drove him to tap on it.
However, before he could even open the article, more notifications began flooding in, one after another, each more outrageous than the last.
And they all pointed to one person.
