Chapter 34
Jensen didn’t know how to answer Gilda’s questions.
He had always stood by Carol and Sherry and never really listened to what Gilda said.
Jensen thought, ‘Is this one of the reasons she insisted on divorce?‘
Thinking of this, a burst of unspeakable self–reproach surged into his heart.
“Apologize to her,” Jensen said to Sherry with a sullen face.
Sherry lowered her head but didn’t say anything.
“Three years of humiliation and slander after divorce can’t be erased by a simple apology.”
Patrick walked to Gilda, looking angry, cold, and fierce. His sister was bullied by the Harrington family, which made him disgusted when looking at them.
Patrick glanced at Madeleine and said, “I have found out who slandered our company’s executive on the trending topic.”
Being stared at by Patrick’s terrifying eyes, Madeleine unconsciously gripped her dress with guilt.
Madeleine thought, ‘It’s okay. No one can track me down.
Those photos were sent to the writer anonymously and will never reveal my identity.‘
“This report distorted the facts, slandered the executive of our company, and caused extremely bad influence on the Internet. The police are coming. You have to go with them by then, Ms. Donovan.”
When Madeleine heard this, her face turned pale at once. She was so frightened and she kept stepping back. She met Jensen’s questioning eyes and kept shaking her head.
Madeleine instantly burst into tears and then looked at Jensen with an almost pleading look. “Jensen, believe me. I would never do such a thing.”
Jensen protected Madeleine behind him and asked coldly, “Mr. Lynch, is there any misunderstanding about this?”
“Any misunderstanding? This adulterous couple must want to slander Madeleine. Madeleine is so gentle and delicate. Why would she bother harming you?”
Sherry defended Madeleine. “She’s pregnant. If she’s shocked and has an abortion, who will take the responsibility?!”
Gilda sneered, “Since you wanna protect her so much, you can go to the police station with her later.”
Hearing this, Sherry was even more furious. “What do you mean?”
“Have you forgotten what you have done? I haven’t asked you to pay for smashing my store a few days ago!”

“How… How did you trace me?” Sherry was stunned.
Sherry couldn’t bear being humiliated in Gilda’s store before, so she hired some gangsters to smash Gilda’s
store.
