Chapter 38
“Lanny has contacted the hospital in Frencia. You will go abroad three days later,” Jensen said to Madeline.
When Madeline heard the news that she would be sent abroad, she pleaded softly with unwillingness, “Jensen, I don’t want to go. I will stay in Allath with the baby and you,”
Jensen’s sullen expression didn’t change at all. He was unmoved.
Madeleine stepped forward, grabbed Jensen’s arm, and said with tears in his eyes, “Even if you don’t care about the baby, think of my sister Maria. She died because of the Harrington family. You can’t do this to
me…”
“We’re sorry about Maria, but you have to leave,” said Jensen.
Hearing Jensen’s words, Madeleine collapsed on the sofa.
The atmosphere at home was so depressing that Jensen felt very uncomfortable.
At this time, Dillan happened to call.
“Dude, have you seen the trending topic yet?” Dillan asked on the other end of the phone.
Jensen thought Dillan was talking about the smear campaign against Gilda, so he said, “It’s a fabrication. Law enforcement has intervened to halt its dissemination.”
“Are we talking about the same thing? Go and have a look. Your family has been on the trending topic, and everyone is scolding you. Let the company’s public relations handle it,” Dillan said.
After hanging up the phone, Jensen checked the news. After reading the trending topic, Jensen turned gloomy instantly, and his eyes were filled with anger.
Gilda’s retaliation was really quick and accurate.
Since Madeleine sent out a false slander against Gilda, Gilda immediately countered the Harrington family cruelly.
Jensen immediately called Fanny to arrange for someone to block the trending topic, but Lanny replied that he couldn’t do it.
The reason was that the editor–in–chief of Global Entertainment claimed that the trending topic about the Harrington family had to stay on the trending list for at least three days. So no one else dared to take any action.
On hearing the news, Jensen was so angry that he broke several glasses.
Standing on the table in the private room of Halo Club, Dillan poured out champagne and said, “Come! Let’s celebrate my return to Allath. Cheers, guys!”
Kylan and several other friends below also exclaimed, “We miss you a lot. We’re eagerly anticipating your rise to fame!”
“Come on! Cheers!”
After a few drinks, Dillan found that Jensen in the corner was drinking alone.
Knowing the reason, Dillan ran to comfort Jensen. “Don’t be sad. There are so many good women out there. You should celebrate that you have gotten rid of the marriage. Don’t care about the annoying news!” Dillan said.
“That woman is so cruel.” Kylan was so drunk that his face turned red. He staggered over and lay on the sofa, gasping for breath. “What a vicious woman!” Kylan said drunkenly.
“I don’t think so. We are all men. Let’s be fair. Who was wrong first?” Dillan couldn’t stand Kylan’s words and argued with him.
Dillan had always been a straightforward man in front of his friends.
“Jensen was the first one to betray Gilda, and he even fathered an illegitimate child. Madeleine is his mistress. Is there anything wrong with what I said?” Dillan said.
