Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20 Blocked List Aidan’s deep voice became significantly colder. “For you, would you accept any woman to marry into the family as long as they carry my child?” “I’m doing this for your own good. Otherwise, do you intend for your child to be born out of wedlock? In the past, you—” “I don’t need your reminder. I won’t let this happen again.” After Aidan said that, he hung up the phone instantly. His eyes remained glued to the divorce papers on the table for quite some time before he suddenly stood up and placed them in his pocket. Subsequently, he took large strides and left the office. … Meanwhile at Lux Jewelry, during the entire press conference, Leanna behaved very calmly the whole time and did not flinch from the stinging, barbed questions from the press members.

She was not a celebrity nor did she need the publicity. Besides, she did not have any public image to maintain. Her main goal was to prove her innocence and restore the reputation for herself and Lux Jewelry before any irrevocable damage was done. One of the reporters asked, “Miss McK, since you’ve just mentioned that the post on the Internet calling you a homewrecker is just a rumor, then could you explain why you disappeared from the public eye all of a sudden three years ago?” “I got married.”

“Then, is your husband the wealthy man mentioned in the post?” Leanna replied, “I’m very sorry, but I can’t disclose any information regarding my ex-husband. All I have to say is that both my ex-husband and I were single from the moment we met each other and until we wedded.” Several reporters perceptively picked up the word ‘ex-husband’ from her statement and they continued to ask her questions related to her marriage. However, she smiled and responded indifferently, “I think that we’re all seated here at the moment for me to clarify the untruth rumors on the internet, so forgive me, but I’m not prepared to disclose anything further regarding my personal life.”

Her words rendered the reporters speechless. Nonetheless, her words made perfect sense. She was not in fact a public figure, hence, there was no need for her to front up to the public about her personal life. As for right now, the reason there was such a huge fuss about this matter was mainly because everyone reckoned that she was a shameless homewrecker who had succeeded in advancing her social status. Therefore, it essentially became a boycott campaign toward her as a designer. Currently, she came forward to face the media to clarify things while Lux Jewelry backed her words too.

As for the reporters in attendance today, they were generally on good terms with Lux Jewelry and hence, no one was planning to offend them. After the press conference ended, there were various articles published soon after that. Lux Jewelry also issued a statement at the same time, debunking the rumors on the Internet. Lux Jewelry would be acting on behalf of their designer to seek criminal charges against the parties who slandered their employee. They would also accept every request of a refund and hopefully, they would be able to come up with further designs that were to the public’s liking.

After the release of this statement, there was a barrage of fashion bloggers and celebrities who came forward to indicate their support for Lux Jewelry. Soon enough, the sales of the three pieces in the First Love series soared significantly instead of dropping. The increase in sales was three times higher than before the incident occurred and it was sufficient to cover the entire loss from the refund process. As soon as the press conference ended, Leanna rushed to the toilet instantly. Zoe waited worriedly by the entrance for ten minutes before Leanna finally came out. “Nana, are you alright?” Leanna shook her head with her pale face.
