Chapter 46: I Will Not Let You Be Wronged
When Gwenda left the hotel, she carefully looked around and found that lan's men were all gone.
She heaved a sigh of relief.
After getting into Olivier's car, she was quiet. Seeing that Olivier was also silent, Gwenda gave him a cursory glance. "Did I cause trouble for you?"
"No, you did a great job."
Olivier turned to look at her, his eyes filled with doting affection. "I was just wondering if you've suffered any grievances."
Gwenda was surprised, "You don't blame me?"
"Why should I? She was the one who provoked you first. You were perfectly justified to fight back. Even if you did make a big mistake today, I would still back you up."
Olivier took it for granted.
Gwenda could not believe it though. "You're serious?"
"Of course."
Gwenda's eyes teared up a little, her heart feeling like as if something was squeezing it. She had trouble breathing for a minute.
No one had ever said anything like this to her before no matter in her previous life or now.
She thought that there would be nothing left for her but revenge after her rebirth.
But who knew that she would run into him...?
The calm that Gwenda had struggled to maintain fell apart once more.
After dropping Gwenda off at her apartment building, Olivier only left after she had gone upstairs to her home.
On the ride back, the car was quiet.
As he drove, Otto tentatively asked, "Boss, I'm guessing that the business deal today isn't successful?"
"Yeah,"
Olivier replied in a detached manner.
Even if the business deal had been successful, they had dared to hurt the one he cared about. Thus, the deal would have been voided in the end.
"But the Greens doesn't seem like an easy bunch of people to deal with. They have tried for a whole month just to get today's meeting. I doubt they wouldn't give up so quickly." "Then find a way to make them give up!"
Olivier said flatly. When the light from the streetlamps outside shone on him, his eyes were flinty with anger.
Seeing Olivier's darkened face from the rearview mirror, Otto felt a chill go down his spine as he silently mourned for the Green family.
"Of all the people they could provoke, why they chose the one who my boss cared the most?" Otto thought with a quiet sigh.
...
Meanwhile, Laurinda had disclosed the news of lan's scandal on the internet, causing a heated discussion to blow up online.
The hashtag of "Viral" soon began to trend on Twitter.
"Breaking news! Famous male singer caught cheating by wife!"
"Useless fools!"
Benson Evans swept the folders off his table with a whoosh as he roared. "Useless fools! Hurry up and take down the news! Don't you think that the company's in enough trouble already?" Rubbing his injured forehead that had been struck by the flying folders, the head of the Public Relations Department said hesitantly, "It's not that we don't want to take down the news, Mr. Evans, but we essentially can't since Russell's scandal is all over the Internet. We have already posted an announcement but it's ineffectual."
The head of the PR Department was also at a loss.
Because of Cecilia's leaving, the rumours in regards to the matter was already a big blow to KG Entertainment's reputation.
Now, with this scandal added onto their plate, the PR Department's hands were tied.
"Did I employ you to hear your nonsensical babbling? I don't care how you do it, but you have to cover up this scandal! If you can't, you can forget about coming to work tomorrow! Get out!" Benson angrily threw out an ultimatum before driving the man out of his office. He slumped onto his chair with red eyes, his chest heaving violently.
A while later, someone knocked on the door, and Pauline Evans entered with a cup of tea.
Seeing the mess that the office was in, a dark look passed briefly over her face before she brought the tea over to her husband.
"I made you a cup of tea, Benson. Please calm down, it will do you no good to be so angry."
Seeing that it was his wife, Benson relaxed a little and rubbed his forehead wearily. "I don't know what's wrong with my company these days. Something keeps coming up and it's frustrating." "Try not to dwell on it too much. Your health is much more important than that."
Pauline advised him with gentle tones as she gave him the cup of tea.
Frowning, Benson took a sip of tea before asking, "How's Gretchen doing these days?"
"She's doing fine. But Martin came over a few times only to be turned away by her."
Pauline sighed with resignation and continued. "Benson, I know that this incident was caused by Gretchen, but what is done is done. There is no other way to resolve this. Besides, I think that Martin really cares about Gretchen. If we just let things go on like this... I'm afraid that it will hurt our relations with the Morels."
"What, you still want Gretchen to marry Martin?"
Benson's eyes became sharp as he eyed his wife with displeasure.
Pauline bit her lip before saying with a sigh, "Or what? Gretchen is already doing her best to stay out of sight, but Martin keeps coming over. I just can't bear to see them like this..."
"Gretchen is right to stay out of sight. After all, Martin is supposed to be Gwenda's fiancé!"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
