Chapter 606
Chapter 606:
However, Richard stood next to her, shielding her from the people. His expression was grave as he kept his arm firmly around her, blocking the reporters the entire way to the stage.
Finally, they sat down in their designated seats. One of the reporters in the front row immediately shouted, “Sloane, what relationship do you have with Richard? Are you really dating p>
Jenessa studied the reporters, and her heartbeat sped up slightly. She held her breath and answered resolutely…
“That’s right. I’m dating Richard now,” Jenessa announced, her voice steady and confident.
As soon as the words left her lips, a wave of relief washed over her. There was no turning back now.
Everyone knew about her divorce from Ryan, but this was different—this was her stepping into a new chapter.
There was no way she could reconcile with Ryan now.
Although there were photos of Jenessa and Richard’s candlelight dinner circulating on the internet, her words still left the reporters in an uproar. After all, her relationship wasn’t just a rumor anymore; it was a fact.
A reporter leaned forward, eyes gleaming with curiosity.
“Sloane, did you divorce because you cheated on Ryan?” her voice was sharp, ready to pounce on any hint of scandal.
Jenessa met the reporter’s gaze head-on. She replied firmly, “I have never cheated on him p>
The room fell silent for a moment, the reporters exchanging skeptical glances. They weren’t convinced, and Jenessa could feel their doubt hanging in the air like a thick fog.
“But someone took pictures of you and Richard having a romantic dinner,” the reporter pressed, her voice rising with excitement.
“You looked pretty intimate. Are you saying those photos are fake p>
Jenessa held her ground, her expression calm and unwavering.

“Those pictures are real, yes,” she admitted.
“But that doesn’t mean I was having an affair. I know it’s hard to believe, but I can show you the evidence p>
“Evidence? What evidence?” another reporter called out, curiosity piqued.
The crowd leaned in, eager to hear more.
Jenessa took a deep breath as the evidence appeared on the big screen behind her.
She stood expressionless, letting the documents speak for themselves: the divorce papers with Ryan and the prenuptial agreement.
They showed, without a doubt, that she and Ryan had never truly loved each other during their three years of marriage.
Their union was a convenient arrangement because of…
Nadine’s illness.
With Nadine’s condition stable, they had chosen divorce.
She had never cheated on Ryan—they had never even been a real couple.
The crowd erupted into whispers of shock and speculation.
“They never had feelings for each other? That explains why they kept their relationship hidden,” one voice murmured.
“The seal on that paper looks official. It can’t be fake,” another chimed in.
“Check the divorce date. Richard had just returned from abroad then. She must have met him after the divorce,” someone added.
Despite the evidence, some reporters remained skeptical. A particularly sharp voice cut through the noise.
“If you and Ryan didn’t love each other, why did he defend you in public so many times? According to the date on your divorce papers, when your marriage was exposed, you’d already divorced. Was he just acting before the media p>
Jenessa paused, the weight of past memories pressing down on her.
She had wondered the same things—what had Ryan truly felt for her? Which of his words were genuine, and which were just for show?
The reporter noticed the shift in Jenessa’s expression, her demeanor suddenly vulnerable. Sensing an opportunity, they pressed on.
