Press Conference, Part I

Liam and Amelie read through the gossip feed in stunned silence, their eyes widening with every word. The high society was buzzing with a vicious rumor: Amelie Bennett was infertile, and Liam Bennett had attempted to seduce his sister-in-law, Vanessa, to have her carry his child.

"Another scandal around these two? And Mrs. Amelie Bennett has just started regaining her standing."

"Infertile? And where is the proof of that? How can you spread such rumors so easily?"

"Well, it kind of makes sense, considering how she never gave birth while she was married to Richard Clark. His new woman, however, got pregnant right away..."

"Still... Sleeping with his sister-in-law??? It would have been a lot better if it was just another mistress..."

The room seemed to close in around them as they continued reading, and Amelie felt her heart beating faster as a wave of cold swept over her entire body.
