No Renewal My Contract Husband (Nella and Alfred) novel Chapter 313

Chapter 313 Sergio’s Realization

He knew it. Back in Alfred’s office, when he was told to take the videos down, he had a nagging feeling something was off.

But Alfred gave him a reason that sounded so right at the time, it completely threw him off track. He didn’t even realize there was a problem.

Now that he thought it through, this was bad.

Really, really bad.

Alfred said he didn’t want Nella to see the video and get upset. But did he ever stop to think about how Nella might take that?

Wouldn’t she think he was just trying to protect Zoey and her whole damn family?

Marshal got abused and no one stood up for him. Wouldn’t that make her even more heartbroken?

That kind of helplessness-watching someone you love get trampled on and having no power to fight back-wasn’t that worse than seeing the video deleted?

No wonder Nella had gone ice-cold on him. Who wouldn’t?

If he were her, he might’ve wanted Alfred dead too.

Damn!

And him? He called himself a right-hand man? He didn’t even warn Alfred?

Unforgivable!

Total failure!

With that, Sergio clenched his jaw and forced himself to speak up.

“Mr. Keywood… does Mrs. Keywood… know?”

Alfred shot him a sharp glare.

That mix of regret and devastation in his eyes told Sergio everything he needed to know.

Crap.

It blew up!

“Mr. Keywood, I’ll take care of it right now.”

Sergio turned and bolted out of the hospital room without waiting for a response.

Mr. Marshal, I swear, I’m getting justice for you!

Within a few hours, photos and videos of Horizon Industries CEO’s wife being taken from her house by the cops two days ago hit the internet.

People might not have cared much about the Horizon Industries CEO’s wife.

But once they realized she was the biological mother of that wannabe influencer Zoey, everyone knew exactly who she was.

[Didn’t Zoey just get arrested a few days ago? What the hell? Now her mom too?]

Someone dropped that comment.

Not long after, the trending tags gave everyone the answers they were looking for.

[Holy crap! So that psychotic woman who abused Mr. Keywood’s brother-in-law was Zoey’s mom?]

[Well, now it all makes sense. She probably knew Marshal belonged to Mrs. Keywood and hurt him on purpose.]

[Bet their rich family paid to get the video scrubbed back then. Mr. Keywood must’ve found out and dropped the video again. Boss move.]

[Finally! Mr. Keywood stood up for Marshal. That’s what I call a man who protects his wife!]

[Horizon Industries? Please. They’re nothing compared to the Keywood Group. This is so satisfying. I’m loving it!]

[No way that video climbed the trending search list this fast without Mr. Keywood pulling the strings.]

[Wishing Mr. and Mrs. Keywood a lifetime of happiness!]

[Mrs. Keywood must be so touched.]

[Obviously! I bet she kissed Mr. Keywood like crazy after this.]

Silence stood in Alfred’s office.

Alfred sat there, staring at the flood of comments flying up the screen by the millisecond, and

Every single compliment stung like a slap in the face.

Back at the Macks’, the place was in complete chaos.

“What the hell is going on? Didn’t Alfred take all the videos down already? How’d they get back online?”

Norris’ face was pale as he scrolled through the vile, vicious comments. The official account of Horizon Industries had already been drowned by hate. His expression was awful, but deep down, he was panicking.

Zoey said nothing. She just stared blankly at the posts about Alfred defending his wife, her face growing more and more twisted.
