A Genius Once Fell into the Don’s Orbit Chapter 07

A Genius Once Fell into the Don’s Orbit Chapter 07

I wasn’t someone who cried easily.

Breaking down in front of Samuel for no reason made me feel embarrassed.

Suddenly, I was pulled into a warm embrace.

He didn’t hold me tightly.

He simply patted my back gently.

“Everything is over now.”

“You’re an incredible person. Losing you is their loss.”

I quietly cried against Samuel’s shoulder.

Just this once…

let me cry as much as I wanted.

In the days that followed, I continued arguing with Samuel like before.

But our relationship had grown much closer.

I invited him over to try the meals prepared by my housekeeper.

I also shared the American snacks Linda mailed me with him.

Meanwhile, back in America, Linda had been talking to me more frequently lately.

She told me that the internet was reporting that the Ricci family godfather and the Hawthorne family heiress were about to become a couple.

My father, the head of the Hawthorne family, had even liked the news.

But the Rossi family never responded.

“Seriously, isn’t this basically admitting it?”

“Alessia is really good at riding someone else’s popularity. I wouldn’t be surprised if she was the one who leaked it.”

I smiled lightly while staying on the phone.

My fingers played with the Lego set Samuel had given me.

The next day, I never expected American gossip to somehow involve me.

Samuel even sent me screenshots and asked if the person they were talking about was me.

I clicked the link.

Someone had exposed that I was Enzo’s secret wife.

Then people dug up the reality show incident.

They discovered that when Enzo visited the set, he never spoke to me.

Instead, he interacted with Alessia constantly.

The entertainment industry was always about lifting people up and tearing others down.

They said Alessia was Enzo’s first love.

Even several of Enzo’s close friends claimed that Alessia had always been like their little sister.

They said she and Enzo grew up together.

They said Enzo was stolen away from her by me.

Then the story about the real and fake daughters of the Hawthorne family was exposed too.

During an interview, Alessia cried and said that after her younger sister returned, she was terrified of being abandoned.

She went abroad to study because she wanted to prove her own worth.

But when she came back…

Enzo had already been taken away by her sister.

Fans attacked me viciously.

They accused me of stealing someone else’s boyfriend while Alessia was studying abroad.

They said Alessia and Enzo were the perfect match.

The cold-hearted godfather and the pure-hearted actress.

Fans were so obsessed with the couple that they completely lost touch with reality.

Edited fan pictures filled the internet.

I looked at those half-true, half-fake stories and smiled.

I didn’t care at all.

What did any of this have to do with me anymore?

But Samuel was furious.

“Did you really love that Enzo that much back then?”

There was obvious jealousy in his voice.

I froze for a moment, feeling slightly uncomfortable.

Samuel noticed something was wrong and quickly changed the subject.

“I just didn’t expect that you used to be in Hollywood.”

“Miss genius really is something else.”

“You’ve tried everything.”

“Not really, not really~”

I laughed.

That night, Enzo called again.

His voice was anxious.

He told me that he had already dealt with all the rumors online.

He said that he and Alessia were nothing but the past.

They could never be together.

I interrupted him.

“Enzo, we’re already divorced.”

“Please don’t contact me anymore.”

“And please tell Alessia something.”

“Lies always come back to haunt people.”

“If she tries this again, I won’t give her another chance to spread rumors about me.”

“Valentina, don’t hang up.”

“I…”

“I miss you.”

I pursed my lips and hung up immediately.

You said don’t hang up?

Who do you think you are?

I logged into my social media account that I hadn’t touched in almost a year.

I uploaded the messages where my parents forced me into the marriage.

Then I posted my marriage certificate and divorce certificate.

The chat history proved that Alessia had desperately refused to marry Enzo.

It also showed that she insisted on going abroad to study.

After uploading everything, I added one sentence.

“Nobody was stolen. Spreading false rumors is illegal. @Alessia Hawthorne”

That night, the entire internet exploded.

After all, Alessia was currently a trending actress.

Any news about her could become a massive controversy.

Even the Hawthorne couple messaged me, demanding that I return home immediately.

Immediately?

That was ridiculous.

I had already been abroad for six months.

Did they really think I was still in America waiting around for them?

My studies were overwhelming.

I ignored all of them.
