Chapter 104:
Many fans posted their thoughts:
“I can’t believe it. How could such an abstinent man say these words?”
“I really wish I was that woman. Mr. Lopez is so worth it.”
“I wish Mr. Lopez said that to me.”
“Mr. Lopez is so cool and super charming!”
“Mr. Lopez, please notice me. I’m sure I’m better than that married woman.”
“Please give me a chance.”
“I didn’t expect Mr. Lopez’s first love to be such a taboo.”
“Look, Mr. Lopez’s followers have increased by several million.”
Of course, some criticized Candice:
“This woman has no idea how lucky she is. How dare she sue Mr. Lopez? Is she out of her mind?”
“Don’t be so pretentious. You should feel lucky and grateful.”
“If I were her, I’d have thrown myself into Mr. Lopez’s arms without hesitation.”
Candice could only shake her head. She had no words for what was happening.
This was society as it stood—unfaithful women were crucified while unfaithful men were forgiven.
She didn’t think the issue would harm Milton’s image much. Still, she was surprised at how he gained more fans than ever because of it.
However, the effect on the stock market was an entirely different story.
It was nine o’clock.
When the stock market opened, Raul knitted his brows and clenched his jaw.
In the office, he and Milton discussed countermeasures. It was the first time Candice had seen Milton so focused on work. Although the situation was critical, Milton remained calm and gave orders in an orderly manner.
Milton had been on the phone frequently.
Sometimes, he stood by his office’s large floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the spectacular mountain in the distance.

Other times, he sat elegantly at his desk.
There were moments when he simply leaned back in his chair, playing with his sapphire-inlaid pen.
Still, no sign of anxiety showed on his face.
From their discussion, Candice roughly understood the situation.
The stock market opened at nine, and since then, Royal Garden Corporation’s stock price had plummeted, nearly hitting the limit down.
In response, Raul decided to release the second-quarter financial statements early. The company’s strong performance helped redeem the stock price.
Any scandal, especially a sex scandal, was fatal to a company’s stock price.
“I’ve seen the table. Someone took the opportunity to short sell,” Milton told the marketing director.
