Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 842

At midnight, Cherie was awakened by the constant incoming calls from Whitney.

As she picked up the call, Whitney’s agitated voice pierced through her ears. “Cher! Your Boyle is on the news again!”

Cherie rubbed her eyes and asked, “Did he win another lawsuit again?”

“No! He was framed by his jerk dad and has become a heated discussion on social media! His jerk dad is a shameless, two-faced person!”

Cherie wondered to herself, ‘Jerk dad?’

Cherie then recalled Boyle once told her that his father was a kidnapper who was arrested and sentenced to jail.

“Isn’t his dad in jail now?”

Whitney exclaimed, “He just got released from jail and has made a huge fuss in a short time!”

“I’ll talk to you later. Let me take a look at the news.”

After hanging up the call, she quickly skimmed through the most searched results on the internet and saw a video that went viral.

A middle-aged man was holding a loudspeaker outside the Earnest Law Firm and criticized Boyle for being unfilial toward his parents.

As Cherie was watching the video, she felt that she could recognise Boyle’s father. She seemed to have seen him from somewhere but she could not recall it.

However, she did not deliberate much about it and focused purely on Boyle being slandered by his father.

The video was shared fifty million times and was liked by eleven million users. There were seventy million comments on this video. Under the comments section, those peanut galleries and keyboard warriors who did not know the truth were slandering Boyle.

The comments were unsightly.

Soon, some netizens went as far as to leave harsh comments about Boyle on the official website of Earnest Law Firm, criticizing the company for hiring such an unscrupulous lawyer.

The comments spread like a wildfire and netizens were furious. No one bothered about knowing the truth.

Cherie called Boyle immediately.

The call got through after a while.

“Boyle…” She hesitated for a moment, debating within herself if she should say it out or not.

Boyle responded in a deep voice, “Is there anything?”

Cherie clearly knew that people with great dignity like him scorned to tell people about his troubles to win people’s sympathy.

Since he did not mention it to her, she would not bring it up either.

Cherie shook her head. “Nothing much. It’s just that I sent you a few messages a few days ago but you haven’t replied to me yet.”

Boyle’s impassive tone was the same as usual. “I will be busier nowadays and might not be able to reply to you on time.”

“Okay, it’s alright.” She answered as she held back her tears.

She wanted to tell him not to bother about the malicious comments on the internet as they did not know him well.

Yet, there was only silence between them.

She knew that the Boyle she fell in love with had a strong mentality and did not need anyone to sympathize with him.

The two of them did not say anything over the phone. However, they did not hang up the call either.

Boyle’s deep voice sounded over the phone after a while. “Rie.”

“Yeah? I’m here.”

Boyle hesitated for a moment and uttered, “Happy New Year’s Eve.”

It was New Year's Eve today.

Cherie donned a sweet smile and acted natural and relaxed in front of him. “Boyle, you have to be happy too. Not only during New Year's Eve, but you have to be happy every day from today onwards.”

After a long while, he uttered, “Alright.”

Boyle put on a faint smile.

Cherie could not hold in her emotions anymore and quietly shed tears underneath the blanket. As she sniffed over the phone, Boyle heard it.

“Rie?”

“I’m fine. I just miss you a lot.”

She could imagine how lonely he was to spend New Year’s Eve alone in the capital. Apart from that, he still had to bear the slander about him.

Boyle answered, “I miss you too.”

Before she hung up the call, she comforted him, “Boyle, even if the whole world is against you, I will always be by your side.”

Her words immensely warmed his heart.

However, how could he be willing to let her oppose the whole world?

He should just bear the consequences by himself.
