Losing to My Substitute (Katerina and Joshu)
Substitute 28

Chapter 28

"Since we can't apologize to Kate in person, then apologize to the entire internet. The news will get to her eyes, and she will see it!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, he opened a live stream on his phone.

Soon, countless viewers flooded the stream.

It was his first time going live, and the crowd was stunned.

"Say it, apologize to Kate!"

Tony threatened, and Ethan silently agreed.

Bethany, lying on the ground, was desperate, tears streaming down her face as she choked out:

"If I apologize, will you let me go?"

"I really won't do anything again. I'll stay far away from you all!"

Tony's face grew colder, "Don't worry, once you atone, there will be a place for you."

Upon hearing this, Bethany didn't hesitate, thinking she had found a lifeline, and confessed everything she had done.

She truly couldn't bear the torment anymore. She just wanted to live a peaceful life.

At first, when the netizens saw her in such a sorry state, they felt some sympathy for her.

(

After all, they recognized the girl lying on the ground as the same one who, just a few days ago, had

been thanked by Tony at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.

But no one expected her circumstances to change so drastically in such a short period, from being high on stage to being dragged into the dirt. However, after hearing about the things she had done, the netizens began to turn against her. In no

time, news about Bethany shot straight to the top of the trending list.

Katerina saw the push notification for the news and frowned when she saw the videos.

"What's wrong?" Seeing her face darken, Joshua placed two coconuts with straws on the side table. 11:13

After seeing the news on her phone, he felt an uneasy tightness in his chest.

Are you going to forgive them?"

He asked, a bit nervously.

Katerina turned to him, comfortingly slipping her hand into his, their fingers intertwining.

"Don't worry. I won't forgive those who have hurt me. I just think the ones who really owe me an apology are the three brothers, not just Bethany." "They let Bethany grow too ambitious. The real harm came from their attitude towards me."

"But all of this is no longer important. I just don't want to be discussed online."

Public opinion shifts quickly, and she had no idea how the internet would react tomorrow.

She had no interest in being the subject of online discussions.

Joshua wrapped his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his embrace.

"Don't worry, leave it to me. They won't affect you."

Katerina looked at his serious profile and suddenly smiled.

"How powerful are you, really?"

"I'll let you discover that slowly."

Joshua's frosty gaze melted instantly, and he smiled gently.

With Joshua's intervention, within no time, other news broke, and almost no one was discussing the entanglements between Katerina and Ethan anymore. Ethan and Tony both received warnings.

It was a formal warning from the government, advising them not to take any actions that could damage the reputation of Mrs. Joshua.

When they saw the warning, both their faces darkened.

Andrew, who was in a closed training session, also saw the news and understood that it was Joshua

who had intervened.

But he did nothing. Instead, he lovingly stroked the picture of Katerina's smiling face on his phone screen.

It had been a long time since he last saw her.

He had thought that time and distance would sever his thoughts of her, but his longing only

deepened.

The countless memories from the past had already replayed in his mind more times than he could

count.

But he constantly reminded himself that he couldn't see her.

He couldn't let her hate him.

Ethan and Tony, however, were unwilling to accept it.

They bought another villa in the Floral Garden complex, waiting there for several days until finally, Katerina returned from her honeymoon.

"Kate..." Ethan's voice was hoarse, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at Katerina, trying to imprint her face deeply into his mind.

Tony's eyes were similarly dark, his face pale and fragile.

"Kate, I'm sorry."

"It was our mistake. Bethany and her mother have been dealt with. They're already in the police station, and Bethany has received the punishment she deserved. We've realized our mistakes, and... can you..."

Forgive us?

Before the final words could escape, Katerina interrupted quickly.

"No."
