Spoiled my CEO husband after Rebirth

At this time, Lina had just been admitted to the hospital. The red paint staining her had not been cleaned up, and she looked quite the mess.

When Gwenda and Cecilia appeared, she subconsciously hid herself under the covers.

Upon seeing this, Madeleine, Lina's manager, walked up to them. "Oh, it's Miss Kelly and..."

She looked at Gwenda.

"Hello, I am Cecilia's manager. Call me Miss Evans."

Gwenda introduced herself politely.

Madeleine eyed them, and had been about to speak when Lina threw back the sheets and glared at them with hatred. "Why are you here? Did you come to have a good laugh? Or do you think that you haven't done enough?"

"Miss Wood, please don't misunderstand. We, too, had just seen the news and found out about what happened to you, so we came to visit. We have no other intentions."

Gwenda said calmly with a polite smile, neither servile nor overbearing.

"I don't need your false kindness!"

Lina covered her face before glaring at Cecilia. " You better keep an eye on your fans. Fortunately, it was red paint today. If it's sulfuric acid next time, I would be completely ruined!" Cecilia pressed her lips together and did not speak, Gwenda's instructions fresh on her mind.

"Please calm down, Miss Wood. This matter is still under investigation and does not have a definite conclusion. It would be better if there are no misunderstandings."

Gwenda reminded her with a smile.

"Misunderstanding? What kind of misunderstanding can there be?"

Lina was furious. "It was a fan of hers! I'm sure of it. I've debuted for so many years and have never once experienced something like this before! It's all thanks to her that I do now!" Gwenda pursed her lips but did not retort. Her expression was unreadable.

Lina glared balefully at them.

Nearby, Madeleine's gaze had drifted for a bit before she asked impatiently, "Why are you really here? If you're here to apologise, please show your sincerity. Don't beat around the bush!"

Right after she said that, Gwenda's phone suddenly rang with a notification.

She took it out and had a quick look.

It was a message from Hattie. "It's been confirmed, that guy isn't a fan of Cecilia."

Gwenda's eyes sharpened as she looked up. She gazed at Lina and Madeleine coldly and smiled. "You don't have to be so angry. We came to fulfil our moral responsibilities by checking on Miss Wood. As for the apology you're waiting for, forgive me for being frank, but we didn't do anything wrong. Why should we apologise?"

"You don't admit it?"

Madeleine's face was dark as she said indignantly, "That guy kept yelling about being Cecilia's fan! He said that he did it to avenge her!" Gwenda argued, "What can this prove? If I randomly picked someone off the street and said that he's a fan of Miss Wood, will you accept it?" Madeleine was struck speechless.

At this moment, Lina was so enraged that she got off the bed and stormed up to Gwenda. "Are you implying that I put on a show all by myself?"

"I didn't say that."

Even so, Gwenda's eyes were gleaming with derision.

Lina clenched her teeth so tightly that her oral muscles were taut. She sized up Gwenda with all the hostility she could muster as she sneered, "Fine. It's fine if you don't admit it. Today's matter has been blown out of proportion anyway. If you don't give me a proper explanation, I'll never let this slide!"

"Well, Miss Wood, if you insist on being hostile, then we will simply wait and see. By then, we'll also see who won't be letting this matter slide!"

Gwenda said flatly and stopped beating around the bush. After cocking an eyebrow at them, she left with Cecilia in tow.

Lina stared at Gwenda's retreating figure as her chest heaved with the force of her rage. "She... she's too arrogant!"

"Easy, she provoked you on purpose."

Madeleine's eyes flashed with annoyance as she frowned. "Though it seems that Cecilia's manager is not wasy to handle. I can't figure out her background."

Lina was a little worried. "Madeleine, will there be holes in our plan?"

"Don't worry. That guy won't leak any information, so they won't be getting anything on us. Even if they do find out that he's not a fan of Cecilia's, they have no evidence to back up their claims. By then, we can also retaliate and say that they made up a story to fool the public so that they won't have to take responsibility for their actions."

When she got to this part of their plan, Madeleine grinned darkly. "With all the hype surrounding this issue, you'll definitely be more popular, and Cecilia may likely lose her fame."

This was essentially killing two birds with one stone.

Lina smiled with satisfaction. "That's wonderful. If we actually succeed, then suffering this splash of paint will not have been in vain."

"Let's just wait and see. Cecilia Kelly is doomed for real this time..."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
