Hearing this, Estelle put her arm around her mom and then glared at Gretchen and Melody with hatred. “You two hurt my daughter before and now bully my mother. I didn’t get even with you because I had no time before. Do you think I’m a pushover? Now it’s time to get even with you.”
Melody immediately retorted, “Who hurt your daughter? Do you have any evidence?”
“Whether I have evidence doesn’t matter,” Estelle sneered and said. “I know it’s you two who did that. That’s enough.”
After saying that, she helped Aurora up and said, “Mom, let’s go. I’ll send you back to the hospital first.”
“No, Estelle. I won’t go. How can I let you face these people alone?” Aurora said worriedly.
“Don’t worry. Mom, I’m not alone.”
“Did you come back with anybody?” Aurora asked.
“Yes. Mr. Mysterious came with me.”
With a confused look, Aurora asked, “Who is Mr. Mysterious?”
“A man who helped me when I was in despair,” Estelle explained.
After getting out of Hudson’s house with Aurora, Estelle dialed the number of Mr. Mysterious.
The phone was picked up immediately, and a man’s voice came from the other end.
“Hello, Miss Hudson. Mr. Mysterious asked me to pick you up. I’m at the Osmanthus tree at the intersection. Wait a moment, please. I’ll be there right now.”
Estelle recognized Ron’s voice at once and then asked, “Hi, Ron. Isn’t Mr. Mysterious with you?”
“It’s inconvenient for him to show up, so he asked me to pick you up. Miss Hudson, don’t worry. Mr. Mysterious let me tell you that he will handle everything for you,” Ron gently uttered.
The next moment, Estelle saw a black Maybach come over slowly and stop in front of her and Aurora.
Ron quickly exited the car, opened the rear door for them, and helped Aurora enter the car.
Aurora was over fifty years old this year and had been in poor health. What happened today was undoubtedly a big blow for her, and at this moment, she looked very haggard.
If Estelle hadn’t hurriedly sent Aurora back to the hospital, she would have slapped Melody and Gretchen and taught them a lesson.
“Miss Hudson, Mr. Mysterious said that beating them will dirty your hands. He will do it for you,” Ron stated.
Estelle was surprised and, meanwhile, couldn’t help chuckling. “Does he even know that I want to beat them?” She asked.
“Yes,” Ron said as he started the car and headed to the hospital. “Mr. Mysterious also knew that you would ask such a question when hearing what I said. And he let me tell you that he knows what you think because he knows you very well.”
“Did Mr. Mysterious leave his phone to you?”
“No. He switched to the call-forwarding mode so that you can contact me. He keeps his phone to himself all the time.”
‘That is to say, if I text Mr. Mysterious, he can receive my message,’ Estelle thought.
Then she sent a message to Mr. Mysterious.
‘Sir, I want to take revenge on them now.’
‘Okay.’ Mr. Mysterious replied to her quickly.
At the same time, Ron received a call from Mr. Mysterious.
“Okay. I’ll do it right now,” Ron said respectfully and turned on the car radio after Mr. Mysterious said something.
Then the host’s clear voice came from the sound system.
“Recently, the news that the president of Hans International Corporation, Cristofer, and a woman was caught doing something indecent in a clothing store fitting room has hit the headlines. Just now, the entertainment media reported more shocking news. The woman with Cristofer is a person full of stories of affairs. Seven years ago, she was photographed spending a night in a hotel with the president of Livin Real Estate Group, Jack. In June of the same year, she was photographed walking on the street hand in hand with a manager of Larry Garment Company and kissing him.”
At this moment, Estelle’s phone rang.
As soon as she answered the phone, Rebecca laughed and said excitedly, “Estelle, have you seen the news? All of Gretchen’s past skeletons in her closet have been exposed! Haha. Someone acted as the agent for God! It’s awesome!”
The radio was still on, and the host listed the men that Gretchen had dated.
Estelle knew some of the men. Those men were all rich and powerful in Hadale and were all aged.
She remembered that the man called Jack, whom the host had mentioned just now, was six years older than York.
“Estelle, Gretchen is doomed! All the men she dated before were from the big companies in our city. Her scandals have caused these companies’ share prices to go tailspin! The companies suffered a great loss, and those men must hate her to the core! However, she will get her just deserts soon!”
Estelle didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Mr. Mysterious is powerful, and it should be easy for him to know all about Gretchen’s previous love affairs. But it would take time to do such a thorough investigation. To help me take revenge, Mr. Mysterious might have launched the investigation long ago.
On the other side of the phone, Rebecca still talked happily, “It is so gratifying! I didn’t expect that what I did in the Chanel store that day would cause such a stir. Oh, I’m so great!”
Estelle then echoed, “Yes, Rebecca. You’re really great. If I had been alone that day, I would have secretly left when I found that they were also in the store.”
“Estelle, you are too kind and merciful. That’s why Cristofer and Gretchen always bully you. Don’t let your kindness become the weapon with which others hurt you. If you have a grudge, go take revenge, just like I did. Your permissive tolerance will only make you unhappy.”
Estelle chuckled and said, “I see, my heroine.”
“Hahaha. By the way, Estelle, who do you think has secretly investigated Gretchen and exposed these scandals?” Rebecca asked.
“It’s...”
“I see! It’s Mr. Mysterious, right?” Rebecca said before Estelle could say anything more.
“Yes.”
Rebecca gasped and said, “Estelle, Mr. Mysterious is so omnipotent and unfathomable. I can see that many photos on the news report were taken a few years ago. He might have gotten those photos long ago but didn’t expose them.”
“The photos were taken a few years ago?” Estelle asked in surprise.
“Yes. But I was so excited just now that I didn’t look at all the photos carefully. I only remember that one of the photos seemed to be taken more than ten years ago. Oh, my God. Gretchen was underage at that time! She actually had illicit sexual relations with those old men at such an age! It’s so disgusting!”
Actually, Estelle was not surprised about what Gretchen had done.
Like a mother, like a daughter. Without Melody’s abetting her, Gretchen wouldn’t have become like this.
Everyone had the right to choose the way they lived, and Gretchen and Melody had the right to pursue a rich life.
