Stand Me Up? I'll Marry His Billionaire Uncle novel Chapter 126

Sunny had assumed he would linger a while longer, so she was surprised when he made to leave.

She walked him to the elevator.

"No need to see me off. Go back inside. See you this weekend!" he said with a relaxed smile.

Sunny smiled back. "See you this weekend."

Once she returned to her apartment, she noticed a pair of silver-rimmed glasses sitting on her dresser. She hadn't even realized when he'd left them behind.

She immediately dialed his number. "Hey, you forgot your glasses."

Stellan had just stepped out of the elevator, his voice lazy and unhurried. "Ah, right. I forgot. I'm already in my car though. I'll just grab them next time."

He hung up before she could respond.

Sunny frowned. Couldn't she just bring them to him this weekend?

The next morning, Sunny hadn't even reached the office when she got a call from Sean.

"Sunny, are you the one behind your sister's story blowing up online?"

Sunny's brow furrowed. "What story?"

"It… wasn't you?"

"No."

From his tone, Sunny could more or less guess what kind of news he meant.

Sean hung up, clearly frustrated.

He looked down at his daughter, who was now sobbing hysterically on the couch, and felt a headache coming on.

"I already told you, this isn't your sister's doing! You get yourself into this mess and now you want to blame her?"

If he was honest with himself, Sean had always favored his younger daughter, Chloe. Maybe too much. It was obvious now that all that spoiling had only made her more reckless.

Now she'd gone and thrown herself at a married man—caught red-handed by the real wife and splashed all over the internet by paparazzi.

"Did you guys see the news? The Carrington heiress sleeping with a married man—caught by the wife herself!"

"You mean the Carrington Technologies girl?"

"That's her, right? Wasn't there talk about her breaking off an engagement with the Lawsons recently?"

Someone gasped. "Which Lawsons? Stellan's family? Was it because of this?"

"Of course. What other Lawsons could possibly make the news?"

Sunny scowled. How had the rumor mill twisted the story so that she became the center of the scandal?

Her phone buzzed with a direct message on social media.

[Sunny, is this what you've come to after we broke up? Sneaking around with a married man?]

She lowered her gaze, her expression turning cold.

Not this again. Tristan, refusing to let her go, haunting her like a ghost.
