She's Too Busy Winning to Watch Him Cry novel Chapter 673

High-definition photos from Zane and Lena's wedding leaked online shortly after. Aside from shots with the newlyweds, a few specific frames of Rowan's family of three went completely viral across all major social media platforms. Even the leading fashion and financial magazines in Seaborne City carved out special sections just to feature them.

The aesthetic in the photos was flawless. Rowan, dressed in a sharply tailored custom suit, looked towering and aristocratic, though the usual coldness in his eyes was replaced by a protective tenderness as he shielded his wife and son. Lyra looked elegant and radiant in her luxury gown. Little Pip, safely nestled between them, had soft, pale cheeks and stared curiously into the lens with big, innocent eyes. In a few of the shots, his chubby little hands were tightly clutching his mother's dress, looking overwhelmingly adorable. The sheer visual perfection of the family instantly captured everyone's attention.

The comment sections exploded with praise:

[They are the absolute peak of genetics in Seaborne City. This family is flawless!]

[Mr. Jameson looks so commanding, Mrs. Jameson is breathtaking, and the baby is the cutest thing alive. They look like a movie poster!]

[The aura is just unmatched. This is the definition of elite old money.]

Related hashtags rapidly climbed the trending charts, firmly dominating the social circles of Seaborne City.

But while one star rose, another crashed and burned at the exact same wedding.

The live stream had perfectly captured the private conversation between Josie and Lyra. Though the audio was muffled, their secluded interaction and serious expressions were fully recorded. Netizens quickly clipped the footage, and it spread like wildfire.

Given Josie's lingering crush on Rowan, the public backlash was instantaneous and brutal.

A tidal wave of hateful comments flooded the internet:

[It's been years, and she's still trying to corner Mrs. Jameson for a private chat? She's clearly not over him.]

[She knows Mr. Jameson is happily married with a kid, but she keeps trying to stay relevant. She's just begging to be the other woman at this point.]

Vivienne shook her head. "Rowan just told me that the person who saved him from the ocean all those years ago wasn't Jasmine—it was Lyra. Jasmine deliberately hid the truth and stole the credit to manipulate his gratitude and force a relationship... I never thought she was that kind of person."

Maisie was equally stunned. She had dined with Jasmine and Rowan in the past and even asked Jasmine how she managed to pull off the rescue. Jasmine had spun a very convincing lie. She had never expected...

That Lyra was the one who had saved Rowan.

No wonder Rowan had turned completely cold toward Jasmine later on. He must have figured out the truth a long time ago.

...

A few days later, Lyra held Pip in her arms as Rowan escorted them to the car, and the family of three drove toward the Jameson Residence for a family dinner.
