Drowning Him In Regret novel Chapter 75

Chapter 75 Request

I wasn’t too bothered by the situation. I figured it was the Carson family who should be panicking.

Jude’s scandal would definitely affect the stock price. When that happens, the Carson family will suffer heavy losses.

After all, my family was already gone. There was no one left for me to worry about but myself.

But the moment I stepped out of the hotel that morning, several men blocked my path. “Mrs. Carson, Mr. Ewan Carson requests you return home.”

I recognized the man in front. He was the head of Ewan’s security team. Clearly, Ewan had heard about the incident too.

Ever since last time, he had been particularly sensitive to public opinion online.

I got in the car and sent a message to Dorian, letting him know I wouldn’t be going to work today.

I also sent a message to Jude. This wasn’t my fault. If anyone should face punishment, it should be him.

When I arrived, Ewan looked like he’d just taken heart medication. He didn’t seem in good shape.

“Ada! Look at the mess you’ve made!” Mireille stormed over like she was about to hit me. I stepped aside, and she almost stumbled.

Mireille asked, “You dare dodge me?”

“If I didn’t, it’d be intentional injury. You’d end up in jail.” I looked at her emotionlessly.

Anyone watching might think she really cared about Jude. But in truth, she just never liked me.

Juno stepped in to stop her and looked at me with some hesitation. “Ada, could this be a misunderstanding? How could you go to a hotel with that Huxley family’s boy…”

She couldn’t even bring herself to say the words “get a room.”

I looked over at the angry Ewan. “There’s nothing between us. He just lent me a corporate suite for the night. He left the hotel immediately. There’s surveillance footage. You can check it.”

There were 24/7 businesses all around that hotel. It wouldn’t be hard to get the footage. It wouldn’t be hard to clear my name. Clearing Jude’s name, on the other hand, would be much harder.

Mireille, still humiliated from earlier, jumped back in. “We’re just supposed to believe your claim? Surveillance means nothing. Everyone already thinks you’re a promiscuous woman!”

She continued, “I knew it. You two have been married for so long, and still no kids? So you just didn’t want to have Jude’s child? Has Jude ever wronged you? When your family got into that accident while you were abroad, he nearly…”

I interrupted. “That’s my business. Not yours to comment on!”

Jude rushed in and quickly pulled me behind him. But I kept my gaze fixed on that woman. My mom never told me anything about what happened back then. So what exactly did Jude do for me?

I wanted to ask, but I knew this wasn’t the time.

Jude turned to Ewan and explained, “Grandpa, I went to see Ada that night too. There’s nothing between her and Dorian.” Ewan asked, “I know exactly what kind of person Ada is. But what about you? What’s going on with Vivian?”

Ewan gripped his cane and tried to stand. Bodhi hurried to support him.

He said, “Uncle Ewan, it’s normal for men to fool around a bit outside.”

He looked at Jude with clear schadenfreude in his eyes.

He added, “But if it affects the company, that’s a different story. Especially since all the past scandals are being dug up again!”

Mireille seemed to finally realize why she was here and immediately chimed in.

She said, “Ewan, this situation is serious. Several shareholders have been asking what’s going on. We didn’t even know what to tell them! If the shareholders get riled up, Carson Group is in real trouble.”

Ewan slammed his cane on the floor a few times, furious. “Enough! Shut up!”

He snapped, “Jude, I’m warning you. You have three days to fix this! And the two of you need to start having a child immediately. With a child, the rumors will die down.”

He brought up the baby thing again and shot me a stern glare. I quickly lowered my head. I didn’t want to talk about it. There was actually another solution, but one no one had said aloud.

Jude could divorce me and marry Vivian, proving that he truly loved a girl from an ordinary background. That way, people would think I was just a fleeting part of his past.
