I didn't know why George wanted me to leave Charles.
But I agreed.
Instead of Liam finding these pictures and going after Charles, I'd like to make a deal with George.
I lost sleep this night.
The next morning, I asked Tess to post Simon's recording online.
That was the first thing George promised me.
He thought I was trying to get back at Simon, so he helped me pay off the press to create 20 trending topics with various hashtags.
"Simon was an asshole", "Simon cheated", "Simon's ex-girlfriend", and "Simon out".
Twitter even went down for five minutes.
Half an hour later, George walked in with his phone and asked me to answer.
It was Simon's girlfriend Elaine.
"Hi, Nicole. George contacted me and I heard the recording you posted. I didn't realize Simon was a jerk. He swore to me that he broke up with you a long time ago. I trusted him and that's why I was with him. I'm sorry, Nicole, and I hope this won't affect the relationship between our families."
