Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness novel Chapter 138

The news that Jonas Gu of Soaring Group had beaten his wife was the most sensational in A City. No one was intervening with this or even bothered to explain anything, which made the media even more excited.

The reporters couldn't reach Jonas, so they went to the hospital to look for Melinda. But it wasn't easy to sneak to the floor where Melinda was in. Instead, the reporters just wandered outside, trying to get bits from the medical staff.

Melinda was quietly recuperating from her minor injury. But the media made it seem that it was a serious injury. Luckily, the media hadn't got a hold of Jonas nor Melinda.

The more the media exaggerated, the angrier Melinda's fans got. Her fans wanted to hear from her, even in places like book comments and microblogs. Some people even went straight to Jonas's and Soaring Group's Weibo to make comments about this.

At that moment, Weibo had become very lively.

When Kent went to visit Melinda in the hospital, he couldn't help but mention that.

"If I am seriously injured, how could they know?" Melinda said.

She touched the wound on her forehead. It was getting better. The doctor finally covered it with a Band-Aid, instead of a thick gauze.

With a bandage on her hand, Melinda almost doubted that she was seriously ill.

"A reporter can confound white into black. The medias are good in making groundless accusations and making comments. But the netizens, they like it," Kent said.

But he was feeling a strangeness in his heart. The trouble had gotten severer. Why didn't anyone in the Gu family deal with it?

Jonas was currently worrying about his internal and foreign affairs. His family was questioning him and the company's shareholders were making everything difficult for him.

"Is your periodical office like that?"

Melinda rolled her eyes upon hearing what Kent had just said. She even mocked him. As the editor-in-chief who was responsible for the novel section, he couldn't avoid to publish news.

"Our magazine didn't write anything about this matter at all."

"Oh my God! No one will read that then!"

Her mood wasn't affected at all. Even though she appeared to lack energy, she still claimed to be happy. But Kent felt that she was deliberately hiding something.

Her smile never reached the bottom of her eyes, which made the people thought she was crying.

Despite being contradictory, it didn't make others feel strange.

Kent stayed in the hospital for the whole afternoon. He didn't leave until Mary arrived. He didn't expect that the media still hadn't given up. He was even photographed.

A news article said that it was Kent who took Melinda to the hospital on that day. A lot of different versions were fed to the audiences.

One of Ken's colleagues came to his office, hoping that Kent would agree to an interview.

An exclusive interview, for that matter.

"Why should I do that?" Kent asked.

He looked at his colleague with a disdainful look. He was really against all this gossiping.

"In the beginning, we took your advice and didn't take part in this matter. Now we really need you to do your part," the man replied.

Kent's response made his colleague lose his temper. He even told the others that Kent was incompetent and it was baffling that he was in his current position.

He wasn't going to let Kent go easily.

This made Kent really unhappy. He simply didn't want his magazine to be involved in such a mess. He didn't expect that there would be a turning point.

However, what he said was right.

If he really wanted to clarify things, he would rather let their own periodical office find an advantage. Melinda didn't make fun of him at all when she said that he was in a loss today.

"After all, we should respect Melinda's privacy. I have to ask her if I want to do it. And that's the bottom line!" Kent demanded.

Kent rarely spoke in such a bossy manner, so his colleague wasn't able to say anything back at him.

The priority of every entertainment magazine was entertainment because the netizens would like it. Few people would investigate the authenticity of reports like those.

Some of the stars didn't care about the exposure they were getting. Some of them even created rumors for themselves.

But rich families were different, especially Nelson. So, naturally, they were a little afraid.

After browsing the news on the Internet, Kent found a summarized section. He immediately sent it to Melinda's WeChat.

"Kent, it doesn't matter. You can decide for yourself."

In fact, she had been seeing these news for a long time already. She hesitated and gave her answer when Kent asked about it.

As soon as Kent saw the news, a big smile appeared on his face. He knew how much she cared about Jonas even though she didn't pay much attention to him.

She even came to a compromise.

The next day, Kent's magazine sent an exclusive interview. They stated that Jonas was only drunk, and that he didn't beat his wife.

The reporters seized the chance to ask why Kent was the one who sent Melinda to the hospital. Kent claimed that it was because drunk people always said they could drive.

Just like that, he became the most famous editor in A City.
