Female Novel
Chapter 1571
The three then finished their lunch in silence. After that, Cindy cleared the table, whereas Aurora laydown on the sofa again.
Cindy felt like laughing when she saw Aurora like this. The latter looked particularly dejected right nowas she was already past her prime. Cindy had no idea how long she would remain in such a state—sheprobably wouldn’t get better until this time’s incident was over.
Cindy put the dishes into the dishwasher before coming over to tune the TV to a variety show that shefound quite funny. However, Aurora never smiled even when the show ended, whereas Cindy shookwith laughter next to her.
Meanwhile, Ian had returned to his room and was sitting at his desk, looking at his cell phone. Heheard Cindy laughing outside very distinctly.
Ian wasn’t really in a bad mood, but he wasn’t in a good mood either. However, now that he heardCindy laughing merrily, he couldn’t help but want to laugh as well. He used to think that Cindy was asteady, composed person. But now, it seemed that she was only a child at heart.
To Ian’s surprise, he got a phone call from Sean in the afternoon. Sean sounded a bit surly on thephone as he more or less told him that the Morgan Family had been brought into trouble due to hisscandals online. Some meddlesome reporters had found the Morgan Residence’s address and wereblocking its entrance, and the same thing happened to the Morgan Group, where many reporters hadbeen keeping watch outside. Sean had been ambushed twice by the reporters, who annoyed him byfiring all kinds of personal questions at him.
Ian retorted flatly, “Do you think I asked for this to happen? I, too, can’t wait for this matter to be over as
soon as possible.”
Sean’s voice sounded somewhat cold on the other end of the line. “I’m calling today to remind you thatyou know what kind of people Simon and Sally are. The news media haven’t spotted them both rightnow, but they would say anything once the news media finds them.” novelbin
Ian knew that, of course. Simon and Sally hated his guts. Now that such a great opportunity hadpresented itself, they were probably eager to condemn him to hell in front of the news media. Still, eventhough he knew that, he could do nothing about it. He couldn’t have someone stitch up their mouths,after all.
After a moment’s hesitation, Ian replied, “Just let them be. It’s fine as long as I know what the truth islike.”
Sean let out a snorting laugh. “You’re quite optimistic about this.”
Ian didn’t say a word in reply. Regardless of whether he was optimistic or not, this was the only thing hecould do.
Sean fell silent for a few seconds. Then, he asked, “Are you with your mother right now?”
“Yeah, she’s come to me for help,” Ian replied right away without hiding anything.
Sean’s tone of voice didn’t change, nor did he show any so-called resentment at the mention of Aurora.“That’s fine. Now that you’re doing well, she’ll have someone to depend on for support.”
Ian didn’t want to talk about Aurora with Sean, so he merely told Sean to avoid the reporters as much
as possible if he ran into them. The reporters in show business loved to fan the flames. If Seananswered any of their questions, his answers would easily be interpreted as something else. If thathappened, Ian’s family would probably be caught up in a difficult situation for real.
Sean also knew what Ian meant. He replied, “Don’t worry. I don’t have the time for that. And I don’t seethe need to go around spreading more news, especially when it’s not a good one.” Then, he added,“Tell your agency to settle the problem as quickly as possible. The longer the problem drags on, themore unfavorable the situation will be to you, not to mention its negative impact on the Morgan Family.”Still, he complained, “We’re running a legitimate business here. We’re not like you guys, who work inshow business and have to be gossiped about and gain popularity to get a better job. You know howbad the consequences are if there is too much gossip about our family’s company.”
Ian let out a long sigh. “I’ll do what I can. Now that the matter is out of our control, I can’t promiseanything. But we’ll try our best to minimize the impact.”
That was about the end of their conversation. Since Sean had some other things to attend to, he hungup right away.
Ian put down his cell phone, then turned around and went to the window.
