himself up–showering, shaving, and getting dressed. And just before leaving, he even wore the first tie Noelle had bought him after their marriage.
Their love had been strong back then, and each day they would give each other a good morning kiss before heading out. Yet, as time went on, he had been the one to shatter their perfect world.
At that moment, the audience in the studio had filled every seat, all eager to witness the scandalous event that had unfolded.
In fact, the host of the TV show had noticed how exhausted Shawn looked. He then, with a few carefully worded questions, tried to pry into the reasons behind his divorce. Yet, to everyone’s surprise, Shawn didn’t hold back and laid everything bare.
“I came here to apologize to my wife, Noelle. I had promised her many things, believing we would spend our lives together, loving each other like we did in the beginning. Yet, in the end, I succumbed to temptation, leading me to commit a terrible mistake.
“I take full responsibility for the breakdown of our marriage. It was my infidelity that drove Noelle away. I’m here today, hoping that she’ll give me a chance to beg for her forgiveness.”
He expressed deep regret for his actions toward Noelle. His voice was thick with emotion as he finished his apology.
In the end, with the help of the production team’s promotion tactics, the video went viral, igniting heated debates across various online platforms. Some online users had even tracked down Noelle’s previous artwork and identified Jessica as the mistress of the affair.
Yet, despite all the buzz, there was no news or update about Noelle herself.

After several days of deliberation, Shawn finally called Charlie, “I would apology video on the company website’s homepage–in the designated video section. It must be kept there until there’s news about Noelle.”
It was an act that could drag one’s and the company’s reputation through the mud! Yet, despite thinking so, Charlie didn’t dare to dissuade Shawn. He simply asked, “Where do you want to put the video, the main company website or the branch one?”
“All of them,” Shawn replied, sounding somewhat displeased. “There are ad slots on social media, right? Get those as well–top headlines, domestically and internationally. If anyone has any news about Noelle, they can contact me directly. Also, make sure to include my personal phone number in the ads.”

A simple missing person notice ignited a firestorm of controversy Noelle’s identity and the story that came with it.
Shawn believed that after going to these lengths Noelle would feel compelled to reach out, especially after seeing how haggard he looked on the TV show. Yet, she never reached out to him, despite his phone being on around the clock with the ringtone set to the loudest setting.

A few days later, Shawn got a call from an unknown number. Upon answering the phone, the caller immediately asked, “Is the hefty reward for tips in the missing person ad genuine?”
“Yes!”
“If that’s the case, give me 100 thousand dollars, and I’ll tell you where I saw her yesterday.”
“You saw her yesterday?”
“Yes, I did. You better hurry up and transfer me the money now.”
Upon hearing that, Shawn immediately transferred the money without hesitation.
