Broken Bond: Claimed by My Ex-Husband's Alpha Billionaire Uncle-Chapter 38: Fun Comments

Just as many had predicted, within a mere two hours, Charlotte’s name was soaring across the internet.

News portals. Social media. TV broadcasts.

From everyday people to celebrities, everyone couldn’t stop talking about her.

Many were thrilled at the thought of seeing her on the big screen again, while others were moved to tears upon learning what she had endured over the past five years.

[Pink_butterfly: That ugly-duckling Julian really has the audacity to abuse our beautiful goddess!]

[Yoyoyoyo: I don’t even understand how Charlotte was attracted to him in the first place.]

[Babygee48: His face looks like a fucking horse.]

[Lenitanita: Hey, don’t insult a horse like that! Even a horse wouldn’t have sex with that many females in a year!]

Charlotte smiled faintly as she scrolled through social media. Occasionally, she even laughed at the jokes people made about Julian.

Her fingers paused mid-scroll when she noticed several comments about Damon.

[Babygee48: Did anyone else notice the handsome man beside her? Who is he?]

[Greenlady: You don’t know him? He’s the famous CEO of Luminix Entertainment! I was actually kind of surprised to see him at an actress’s press conference.]

[Bonita555: That’s him?? I thought the CEO was an old man with a big belly!!!]

[Yoorozu: Wait... isn’t he Julian’s uncle? Does he also despise his own nephew?]

[CC_Uno: Of course he has to despise his nephew! If he defends that bastard, then his handsome face card will be such a waste!]

[RedLady: I hope he’s not a jerk. I’m not sure, but they look like they could be a good couple.]

Charlotte’s smile widened as she read the comments, amusement sparkling in her eyes. It was interesting to see how people’s curiosity about Damon was growing, especially with his unexpected public support of her.

Everyone seemed to like him and wouldn’t mind if he became Charlotte’s next husband.

However, Charlotte only chuckled at the idea. Marriage was the last thing on her mind right now.

Still, she couldn’t deny that Damon’s presence had made everything easier. He had been her reason to stay calm in the entire conference. If he weren’t there, she wasn’t sure she would have made it through without breaking down.

Her fingers hovered over the screen as more comments flooded in.

[SweetChoco: So... are they dating or what?]

[MysticRose: If Charlotte ends up with him, I’ll believe in love again *cry emoji*]

The comments were endless, and the conversation had swiftly shifted from dragging Julian through the mud to obsessing over Damon’s ridiculously good looks—and, of course, his relationship with Charlotte.

People even went as far as comparing Damon and Julian’s pictures side by side, ultimately concluding that Julian was the failed product of the Sullivan bloodline.

Good thing he didn’t share their last name.

To be fair, Julian wasn’t exactly ugly, but when his face was placed next to Damon’s, he might as well have been a blurry, pixelated image next to a high-definition masterpiece.

Charlotte groaned softly, rubbing her temples. How in the world had she ever fallen for Julian back then?

As she continued scrolling, the comments took a strange turn.

[Madame_redd: I’ve heard a rumor that the Sullivan family are werewolves. Is that actually true?]

[Yoyoyoyo: Are you from the 18th century or something? Of course, werewolves aren’t real!]

Even though supernatural beings had their own organization, their identities remained a closely guarded secret from the public.

The only people who truly understood the existence of the Nocturnal Order were politicians and other influential figures, while the rest of society simply assumed that those who looked impossibly young for their age were just blessed with exceptional genetics.

And honestly, it was better that way.

Most people would probably lose their minds if they knew that werewolves or vampires were casually walking among them.

"Auntie," Haven’s small voice pulled Charlotte from her thoughts. The little girl had been sitting beside her the whole time, watching her giggle and smile at her phone screen. "What are you reading?"

"Oh, just a funny story." Charlotte finally put her phone down, not wanting to explain the jokes she had been laughing at. "Where’s your mommy?"

Haven shrugged. "She said she had something important to discuss with Daddy in their room, and my head will hurt if I listen to their conversation."

Charlotte raised an eyebrow. "How long have they been talking?"

Haven tilted her head in thought before answering innocently, "I’m not sure... maybe around two hours? I tried to open the door, but it’s locked."

Charlotte let out a quiet sigh, already guessing what kind of conversation they were having.

Yeah... they’re definitely not just talking.

"Well, that’s okay." Charlotte reached out and gently stroked Haven’s hair. "You can keep Auntie company for now. I don’t have anyone to talk to either."

Because of her press conference, many parties immediately contacted Luminix. They questioned the validity of Charlotte’s statements and sent invitations for her to appear on their TV shows.

Charlotte didn’t have an official manager yet, so no one was handling her schedule. Fortunately, Damon reassured her that she didn’t have to worry—he would take care of everything.

Aside from that, Damon also had to manage social control to ensure that public discourse didn’t shift in a negative direction, especially regarding her divorce.

Charlotte had already prepared herself for any possibility. When a statement was released to the public, it was like throwing a burning ball into a crowd. Some people would try to put out the fire, but others would only fan the flames.

She couldn’t expect everyone to believe her story or respond with kindness.

However, Damon was determined not to let any negative news about her spread on media portals or social networks.

Handling a public backlash would be a nightmare, but fortunately, the majority of people stood by her and offered their support.

Besides, Charlotte thought, no sane person would hear about her situation and still choose to defend a man like Julian.

"Are you really going to act in a movie again?" Haven asked, her eyes shining with excitement. She had watched many of Charlotte’s films over and over again.

Charlotte nodded, moving closer to the little girl and gently caressing her hair. "Yes. If you want, you can visit me on set anytime. There’s a little girl named Lily there, and I think you two would get along well."
