Everything she had done had not caused Michael's reputation to plummet but instead implicated her family's business. She did not expect this outcome nor that Michael's power could cover the sky to this extent.
He could control her scandal within that small area and spread it in the places he wanted to control. He could let most of the outside world remain unknown to the many things happening in the medical world of Harken.
She also did not expect those indecent photos she had sent to Michael to be exposed by him and that he would allow everyone in the medical field to see them.
Of course, she did not care. If Michael had not cleaned up the internet, she would have exposed these photos to everyone. She had long been prepared to lose her reputation. As long as she did not marry Michael, she could do anything. She never thought that there would be another man who would love her or that she would ever fall in love again, so she could be very thorough.
