SWNOVELS Chapter 1488
Everyone knew how hurtful words could be. However, most of them still choose to believe in rumors and make their own judgment on who to blame instead of listening to those directly involved. In Vanessa's view, people like this were most detestable and hated. It was because of people like this who fanned the flames... And her mother committed suicide from depression.
Fiona was well aware of the power of public opinion. Back then, despite being the homewrecking mistress, she made the first move to get the unknowing public on her side and defeat those who opposed her. Fiona emerged a victor with such a strategy, and was now using the same old tactic to hurt Vanessa.
Since Vanessa had already known that Fiona had something plotted, she would not let Fiona succeed.
While everyone was gossiping, Vanessa pointed at some people behind her who had just appeared at the scene. She glared at them and as she questioned, "And you, what did you see? Do you know what happened?"
The people who came after did not see anything at all. They had just heard the people who were at the scene before them talking about Vanessa, so they joined in. Now that Vanessa had called them out, they found themselves unable to say a single word because they truly did not know anything.
Vanessa sneered and continued, "See, you don't know what happened. You're just following whatever that was said by the people around you. You were given brains to think, not to blindly follow what the crowds say. Don't you get that?"
The people around were truly rendered speechless.
Although they were unhappy to hear this, what Vanessa said was the truth. There was nothing they could say to refute it.
In the face of Vanessa's harsh speech, everyone kept to their silence. But Fiona was not willing to back down. Tears started streaming down her face. "Vanessa, I don't need to know a lot, but I just hope that my daughter will not be lied to and get hurt. I hope you can have a happy family like other women, instead of becoming a mother before marriage with a son whose father's identity you don't even know of." "Who told you she doesn't know who the child's father is?"
A cold but steady and powerful voice suddenly came from behind the crowd, making everyone look back in unison. They saw a tall and handsome man standing at the very back of the crowd. Given his height, it was easy for everyone to see him at a glance.
Who was this handsome and powerful man? Why did he suddenly appear here?
It did not matter to him who he was to the onlookers. Unfortunately, it was a natural instinct for humans to meddle in other people's business.
Vanessa had caught sight of the man as well. She knew who the man was just by the sound of his voice. He had been gone for twenty days. She never thought she would see Julien again. She had the same question as everyone else. Why would he suddenly show up here?
Vanessa did not know why Julien was here, but one thing was clear. Whether it was when they were dating in the past or now, as long as she needed him, he would always show up at her side. Most of the time, Vanessa felt that Julien was still the old him whom she had known from before.
Julien glanced at the people around with a poker face, and then said to the head of the hospital who had just arrived at the scene, "Mr. Marcus, when did Rovio Hospital turn into a common flea market? Are people allowed to enter as they wish?"
Marcus wiped away his cold sweat and said, "You're right, Mr. Kyle. We have been negligent with security. I'll be more careful with this in the future."
Julien barked, "Not in the future, but now. I don't want to see random people here in the VIP ward that would cause disturbance to the family." Marcus kept nodding his head as he said, "Yes, yes, yes..."
At this moment, Fiona hurriedly rushed to Julien from the crowd and said, "Julien, my son-in-law... Now that Vanessa is with you, I can finally be at ease."
Fiona had never seen Julien before. Moreover, the Kyle family had always kept a low profile where Julien had never revealed his photo to the public. Even during press conferences, only its audio is released to the media. However, Fiona was an observant person. Since he had such a strong presence, it must have meant that he was of high status. Additionally, the hospital staff addressed him very respectfully. So, Fiona was completely sure that this man was Vanessa's boss. Fiona had always wanted to curry favor with him but never had the opportunity to do so.
Now that her chance was here, Fiona immediately flocked to his side. She had referred to Julien as her son-in-law as if that were true...
Julien did not bother about that vicious old lady at all. Without even casting a glance at Fiona, he brazenly said, "Marcus, what are you waiting for?"
Marcus was stunned that Julien had called his name. He did not know what Julien wanted from him. Just as he was lost in his own puzzlement, Vanessa stepped forward and gave him a hand, "Mr. Marcus, this woman is here to cause trouble. We don't know her, so kindly send her away and do not let her set foot in the hospital again. It'd be best if we could stop her from even being in close proximity to the hospital. I'd lose my appetite every time I see her."
Marcus nodded and said, "Yes, I will have someone remove her from the premises immediately."
Fiona heard Vanessa loud and clear. Now that Julien was here, she could not no longer do anything to Vanessa. She was furious, but she still had to continue pretending to be a loving mother. She said, "Fiona Julien, I know we have problems with each other. But you'll understand one day that everything I've done is for your own good."
Vanessa said intolerantly, "Get her out of here."
Although Fiona had been taken away temporarily, Vanessa knew that the end of this matter was not so easily achieved. Since Fiona was now in Chatterton Town, she would surely be causing more trouble. She expected that her father would be next to make an appearance.
Huh!
Every time the Love family wanted something out of her, they would pretend to be loving. They would claim that they raised her well and provided her with good education. Although Vanessa admitted it was the truth, she would never forget that they were indirectly involved in her mother's death. How could they think that she would want to have anything to do with them?
