Husband With Benefits-Chapter 836: Breaking News

"Dr. Caius Frost Accused of Manipulating Young Woman’s Longstanding Crush"

Confession: "I am a replacement for Jasmine. I don’t care."

In a shocking revelation, sources close to Dr. Caius Frost, the celebrated young neurosurgeon, claim he may be using his late girlfriend’s younger sister, Lily, as a mere "replacement." The accusations paint a troubling picture of Dr. Frost as someone taking advantage of Lily’s longstanding feelings, allegedly aware of her childhood crush on him and choosing to view her as a convenient stand-in for her sister, Jasmine.

Insiders close to the family reveal that Lily seems resigned to her role, reportedly stating, "Maybe he is using me... maybe I’m just a way for him to satisfy himself. If that’s what he needs, then I’ll be that person."

These statements, filled with apparent heartbreak and disillusionment, have stirred public opinion, dividing fans and onlookers alike. Many express sympathy for Lily, viewing her words as a glimpse into her conflicted emotions, while others are shocked at what they see as Caius Frost’s manipulation of his late girlfriend’s sister.

On social media, opinions vary widely. Some netizens argue that because Lily seems aware of her role as a replacement, the situation is not as scandalous as it might seem. "She knows what she’s getting into—she’s making her own choices," one user commented while another stated that even they would be willing to act as a stand-in for the handsome Caius Frost.

However, a larger wave of netizens are voicing outrage, denouncing Dr. Frost for what they consider unethical and emotionally damaging behavior.

"If he’s aware of her feelings and is still willing to use her like this, it’s incredibly selfish and cold-hearted," another commenter wrote. "For someone in the medical field, he’s doing serious emotional harm."

As Dr. Caius Frost’s public image continues to take a hit, industry colleagues and acquaintances remain silent, awaiting either clarification or denial from Dr. Frost himself, though if we take into account the prevous rumours circulating about him then his trustworthy reputation might be taking a hit. This scandal has cast a shadow over his budding career in neurosurgery, leaving many wondering if such personal controversies will affect his professional reputation.

Rafe closed yet another tab on his laptop, the countless headlines and threads all echoing the same damning story. He glanced over at Cai, who sat with a frown, a far away look on his face as he stared down at his own screen, possibly reading the documents in front of him.

Rafe finally spoke up, his tone sharp. "Are you sure you warned her, Cai? This mess is exactly what I said would happen if this got out." But he received no reply or acknowledgement from Cai as he continued to stare at his phone.

Rafe shook his head, his expression a mixture of frustration and sympathy at his friend. "Well, now it’s everywhere. I’ve already contacted the legal team to get a defamation and slander case going along with spreading of false rumors. We’ll do what we can to control this. You might have to ask Lily to get involved in this. In fact, if she can just add something on her social media page..." He paused as his phone buzzed, checking the caller ID before stepping away to take it. A minute later, he returned, his face clouded with a thundering expression

"That was the team," he said, crossing his arms as he looked down at Cai. "They’re saying the quotes are real, Cai. Apparently, Lily actually said those words, and they have evidence."

Cai’s hand tightened around his phone as he stared at Rafe, finally taken out of her stupor. "Lily wouldn’t say something like that... not to the press. She—" He broke off, glancing back at his phone with growing frustration. "She’s not answering any of my calls or messages, and now she’s out of reach. I don’t know what’s going on." freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Rafe’s brow furrowed, his eyes narrowing as he considered the situation. "Are you sure you can trust her, Cai? I mean, do you really know if she’s fully on your side?"

Cai scoffed, brushing off Rafe’s concerns with a wave of his hand. "Of course she’s on my side," he replied, his tone hardening defensively. "Lily’s not like that. She’s been through enough herself; she’s not the type to sell someone out for a quick profit."

Rafe sighed, crossing his arms as he leaned against the desk, his gaze steady. "Maybe you’re right. But Cai, sometimes money changes people. She’s had a thing for you, sure, but she’s also been well aware of your... comfortable circumstances. She’s a struggling student living on the bare minimum; it’s not easy for someone in her position. And this whole mess could’ve presented her with a pretty tempting opportunity."

Cai’s jaw tightened, the idea visibly hitting him, despite his reluctance to believe it. "So you’re suggesting she just... what? Sold me out to the tabloids?" he said, his voice low but laced with disbelief.

"Look, I’m just saying, you need to keep a realistic view here," Rafe continued calmly. "Maybe she thought it wouldn’t blow up this badly. Or maybe the press twisted her words—but whatever the case, she said what she said. And if they’ve got her confession on record..." He trailed off, leaving the unsaid implications hanging heavily in the air.

"She’s not answering your calls. She’s disappeared without a word," he murmured, "If she was loyal... she’d at least talk to you."

Rafe placed a steady hand on his shoulder. "Look, Cai, sometimes people have reasons for what they do that have nothing to do with loyalty. Maybe she’s been struggling in ways you don’t even know. This is tough on you both, but you need to be careful about who you put your faith in right now. Just be sure before you go down defending her blindly. People are already going on about how you are not yet mature enough to handle all this power and stuff...and demanding a resignation."

At those words, Cai stood up and walked out of the office," Don’t do anything for now, Rafe. I’ll make sure this does not affect you ultimately.
