Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 943

Chapter 943 Rumors Everywhere

Mrs. Williams sat on the couch, clutching her chest and breathing heavily with anger. She threw her phone onto the coffee table and demanded an explanation from her son and daughter-in-law.

"What's going on with those rumors online? In less than a day, our company's stocks have dropped so much. What are you two trying to do?" The Williams family was being criticized as penny-pinching snobs who looked down on poor people and refused to help them in times of need.

Mrs. Williams did look down upon her in-laws, but not because they were poor, it was because of Jenna's gambling addict husband.

Besides, Mrs. Stout was already hospitalized, and they had sent supplements and paid for medical expenses - what more did they want?

"Mom, it's just the media blowing things out of proportion."

"I'm sorry; it was my fault," Jenna said before Rhys could speak up. "My dad deliberately spread those rumors to get more money from the Williams family."

Rhys looked at Jenna in surprise; she had taken responsibility without hesitation.

Mrs. Williams' anger dissipated somewhat as she listened to their explanations but remained stern. "Jenna, I gave you five million when you married into our family. Isn't that enough? How much more does your family want? The Williams family can't afford such an ungrateful daughter-in-law like you two; maybe divorce is better."

Rhys froze at the mention of divorce.

When he first got married, he'd been looking for excuses to end his marriage with Jenna but now found himself agreeing with her instead. He no longer wanted a divorce.

"Mom," Rhys joked half-seriously while reminding his mother about wanting grandchildren earlier on. "Don't forget what you said before about wanting grandkids! If we get divorced now, I won't be looking for another wife anymore!"

"You've grown up indeed," Mrs. Williams chuckled softly while still maintaining a serious tone. "I'll give you three days to resolve this matter; I don't want any negative comments online about us or the William Group. Your grandfather put all his heart into building this company. I can't make his efforts a waste."

"Mom, don't worry. I'll solve the rumor in three days," Rhys nodded, giving his assurance.

After returning to the study with Jenna, he couldn't help but ask, "Why did you admit the mistake just now? It was just media blowing things out of proportion and had nothing to do with you."

"But if it wasn't for my dad contacting the media, how would they have noticed this?" Jenna sighed bitterly.

The Williams family had really helped her a lot. She felt guilty for causing such trouble. If it weren't for Rhys helping her out earlier, she would have been kicked out and faced huge penalty.

When she received money from Mrs. Williams before getting married, they were very clear that if they didn't have children or divorced midway through their marriage, all the money must be returned without any deduction.

"Thank you for speaking up earlier," Jenna looked at Rhys with sincere gratitude.

"It's nothing. I'm also helping myself because I don't want a divorce. That's because I don't want another ridiculous marriage and certainly not being forced to be with someone else whom I don't love," Rhys shook his head as he had no interest in Jenna at all; they were only forced into a marriage together so why would he care about her?
