- title: Private Scandal
- slug: private-scandal-official-24a870

## Chapter
- number: 70
- release_date: 2025-03-12

### Summary
The central conflict escalates dramatically as the primary antagonist, James Taylor, seemingly acts on the previous chapter's foreshadowing by committing arson. This destructive act pushes his character beyond obsessive stalking into outright criminality, provoking extreme animosity from readers who now view him as more "crazy than usual" and call for his violent death or legal prosecution. While James's campaign of abuse reaches a dangerous new peak, a significant and unexpected romantic subplot captures reader attention. A relationship between Kyle's brother, Gale, and Helen Taylor's assistant, Robin, is heavily implied and widely accepted by the audience. The primary evidence for this pairing is Gale's affectionate nickname for his lover, "my darling songbird," which readers have connected to Robin's appearance, specifically their hair color. This development is seen as "steamy tea" and a major twist, overshadowing previous fan ships and creating a new dynamic within the supporting cast. The chapter thus balances the intensifying threat posed by James with the surprising revelation of a new romance.
