Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below **Mars Wright Digs His Own Grave** As Mrs. Lopez gazed at her husband, who appeared utterly defeated and despondent, a wave of frustration surged within her. The sight of him, so pitiful, only intensified her anger. "If I had known you were this useless, I never would have married you!" she spat, her voice rising with each word. "Look at us now! My daughter is ruined! She'll never find a husband with you as her father, doing absolutely nothing while Autumn Lopez walks all over us. What's the point of our existence? We might as well just die!" As Mrs.

Lopez's words hung heavy in the air, tears began to stream down her cheeks, and soon Lydia, feeling the weight of her mother's despair, joined in the sobbing. The once vibrant villa was now engulfed in an oppressive atmosphere of gloom and despair. Mr. Lopez felt a sharp throb in his head, a reminder of the chaos that had erupted in his home. "Enough!" he interjected, his voice cutting through the tension like a knife. A pang of guilt gnawed at him; he couldn't deny his part in this disarray.

Yet, he couldn't shake the feeling that it was this mother-daughter duo that continuously found themselves in trouble. If they hadn't been so fixated on scheming to ensnare Mars Wright, would they be in this predicament? Before the incident that marred her beauty, Lydia had been a wealthy socialite, a promising student returning from abroad. Even if her degree was little more than a façade, her name alone would have opened doors to potential suitors for a respectable marriage. But this relentless duo had badgered him, insisting that Mars Wright was a rising star worth pursuing.

They kept whispering that Autumn wasn't on their side and that he needed to prepare for her inevitable betrayal. How could he guard against his own flesh and blood? Reflecting on the past, Mr. Lopez realized that Autumn had always shown him respect. It was Lydia and her mother who had been planting seeds of doubt in his mind, creating a rift between him and his daughter. Autumn had been running the company with remarkable competence, and all he had to do was collect his dividends annually.

Now, he found himself not just working himself to exhaustion but also returning home to a mother-daughter duo who berated him for being inadequate. They treated him like a mere workhorse, devoid of any dignity. "If you want to die, then go die outside," he snapped, frustration bubbling over. "Don't poison the atmosphere in this house. We all know how we ended up here. I shouldn't need to spell it out for you. If you can live with it, fine. If you can't, then we'll get a divorce. You can take your daughter and find your own place to live." Mrs.

Lopez's jaw dropped, a tear precariously perched on her lip. She stared at Mr. Lopez, her mind racing with disbelief. "What did you just say?" He met her gaze with a chilling stare. "Was I not clear enough?" A shiver coursed down Mrs. Lopez's spine. They had experienced fierce arguments in the past, but never had he looked at her with such frigid indifference. It was as if he had completely detached himself from her, from their marriage. How could this be? Despite her own selfish desires, Mrs. Lopez had always believed that Mr. Lopez had chosen her out of genuine affection.

She never envisioned a day when he would regard her with the same coldness he once reserved for Autumn's mother. Panic gripped her heart. "Oliver, what are you talking about..." Her tone softened, her features morphing into a mask of vulnerability. "I was just so angry; I didn't mean what I said." "Why are you taking this so seriously? The entire internet is attacking our daughter right now. As her parents, we should be supporting her, not bickering among ourselves." In the past, he might have succumbed to her theatrics. But not anymore.

Although he found his job draining and the novelty of being a CEO had waned, he relished the perks that came with the title. Having indulged in the company of younger women, he had gradually lost interest in Mrs. Lopez, who, despite her best efforts to maintain her appearance, was undeniably aging. Especially after she had, in so many words, laid bare her true feelings. There was no way Mr. Lopez would forgive her. A woman who owed her very existence to him had the audacity to label him useless! Ha!

An aging woman who had failed to provide him with a son, and she expected him to pamper her as he once did during their affair? Were there not eager eighteen-year-olds out there who were far more appealing? He was not sterile. Once one of those younger women became pregnant and confirmed it was a boy, he would promptly cast this old hag aside! She and her scarred daughter were nothing but a burden to the Lopez family, utterly unworthy of his efforts. "I'm tired.

I'm going upstairs to rest," he declared, turning on his heel and striding up the stairs, leaving Lydia behind without a second glance. Lydia crumpled, her sobs escalating into a frantic wail. "Mom, what does Dad mean? Is he really going to abandon me? Is he giving up on me completely?" "Everyone online is attacking me! What am I going to do?" With each passing moment, more of Lydia's dirty laundry was being aired publicly, and as she witnessed people dredging up her past from her time abroad, a genuine fear gripped her heart.

Even though she had looked down on Mars Wright, if she couldn't even hold onto him, who else would ever want her? "Lydia, don't panic yet," her mother urged, attempting to regain control of the situation. "At the very least, your relationship with Mars has now been exposed. No matter what happens, you two are in the same boat. His reputation is damaged too. If he wants to salvage his image, he has to make a move." "He and Autumn are already divorced. If he marries you and spins a narrative of 'true love,' this will all blow over. People online have short attention spans.

Soon enough, they will only remember the happy ending. They'll be rooting for you, not judging you." "Listen to me. Call Mars right now. Tell him the only way to quiet this storm is for the two of you to tie the knot." Lydia's mind was a chaotic whirlwind. The incident that had disfigured her had nearly shattered her spirit. Completely lost, she could only follow her mother's directive. With trembling hands, she took out her phone and dialed Mars Wright. "Hello." Mars's voice was hoarse, clearly strained by the online turmoil as well.

"Mars, about what's happening on the internet-" Mars interrupted her with a bitter laugh. "You have the audacity to bring that up?" "Lydia, I must have been cursed for eight lifetimes to have ever fallen for you." "Let me make this clear: you fix the mess you created. I'm not coming to your rescue." With that, Mars severed the call, leaving Lydia in stunned silence. Mrs. Lopez, equally shocked, had not anticipated Mars to turn against them at such a critical moment. After a brief pause, she scoffed. "Fine.

If Mars is going to be so heartless, then we don't have to play nice either." Quickly, Mrs. Lopez reached out to several gossip blogs, plotting to twist the cheating scandal into an assault narrative. But before she could set her plan in motion, Mars outmaneuvered her. He posted an extensive, thirty-thousand-word apology letter on his personal Twitter account. The scrollbar was so lengthy that it seemed to stretch on indefinitely at first glance.

In his post, he detailed the entanglement with the Lopez sisters, emphasizing that Lydia had seduced him first and even included evidence to back up his claims. Ironically, the evidence consisted of the same photos Lydia had once sent to Autumn to boast about her life. Those images had made waves at Mars's birthday party once before, and now they reemerged on his Twitter feed. What had begun as a local scandal erupted into a national sensation.

Thanks to Mars's self-sabotaging confession, the story skyrocketed to the top of the trending list, and now the entire country was aware of the sordid affair between Mars Wright and Lydia Lopez. Conclusion In the aftermath of the explosive confrontation, the Lopez household lay in shambles, each member grappling with their own sense of betrayal and loss. Mr. Lopez, once a man caught in the web of his family's expectations, had finally severed the ties that bound him to a life of resentment and disillusionment. His cold indifference towards Mrs.

Lopez marked a pivotal shift; he was no longer the man who would tolerate her insults or her manipulative schemes. The realization that their marriage was built on a foundation of mutual disdain rather than love left Mrs. Lopez reeling, her heart heavy with the weight of her own choices. Lydia, caught in the crossfire, faced the stark reality of her situation: the very man she had pursued had turned his back on her, leaving her to confront the consequences of her actions alone.

As the public spectacle unfolded, the once-glamorous facade of the Lopez family crumbled, revealing the raw vulnerabilities that lay beneath. Lydia's frantic attempts to salvage her reputation only deepened her sense of isolation, while her mother's desperate schemes to regain control spiraled into chaos. The world outside was unforgiving, and the very people they had sought to impress now reveled in their downfall. In chasing the light of social status and acceptance, they had only succeeded in chasing away their own peace.

Lopez will find themselves grappling not only with public humiliation but also with the crumbling foundations of their family dynamic. As the gossip blogs thrive on the chaos, they will be forced to confront the consequences of their actions and the choices that have led them to this point. Will they unite in their desperation, or will the pressure of public scrutiny drive them further apart? Meanwhile, Mars's decision to publicly disclose the truth will send shockwaves through his life and career, leaving him to navigate the treacherous waters of public opinion and personal regret.
