Chapter 241
Linda stayed up all night, frantically searching for news about Jaden, his sister, and the Donovan family.
Then, she saw some posts that almost made her break down.
[Oh my god, Jaden’s sister is Athena, who got the highest score in the SAT of West End. She is the campus belle of Kitmore University and a straight-A student. She and her brother are too good-looking.]
[Don’t you guys know? They own the Donovan’s Restaurant. It’s super expensive but super popular.]
[Not only that, Alaric, the most handsome guy in the University of Technology and the prince of tennis, is also Athena’s older brother. He has officially entered the professional tennis team…]
[F***k, no wonder people have seen Luna go to Donovan’s restaurants for a meal many times. It turns out that they already know each other…]
The messages were like knives stabbing deep into Linda’s heart, making her almost faint.
‘Donovan’s Restaurant is owned by the Donovan family,’ she thought.
She had also been to Donovan’s Restaurant before. Everyone who went there was rich. Donovan’s Restaurant made a lot of money every day.
Also, most of the villas in Mid-Level Mountain Garden cost between 60 million and 100 million. Even if she fulfilled all the conditions written in her dead husband’s will, she could only get 60 million dollars at most.
“The Donovan family might be richer than me. Would Jaden and the Donovan family still like me?’ After all, the only thing she had now was money…
For a moment, she covered her face with both hands as tears welled up in her eyes. She felt that love and happiness were leaving her.
However, this was not the end.
Her private messages were bombarded by various paparazzi. [Jaden is officially suing us. We’re also officially suing you!]
[If you don’t come out to respond and take all the responsibility, we will conduct an in-depth investigation on you and publicize your information!]
[Do you know who’s behind us? How dare you tease us like this? Just you wait!]
In fact, some paparazzi had already posted all the private messages and photos she had sent them online, saying that they had also been deceived. Netizens and fans were cursing Linda and even wanted to rape her.
Linda was frightened and quickly canceled all kinds of social media accounts. At dawn, she ran to the business hall to cancel her phone number.
If news of what she had done got out, relatives on her stepchildren might very well take custody of the child, and the will she would get would be greatly reduced.
After canceling all kinds of accounts, Linda hid at home and did not dare to go out.
However, things were not over yet. On this day, she received a copy of the indictment sent by the local court. The applicant was Jaden.

Linda couldn’t believe her eyes. She was in Hupool City, far away from Kitmore City. ‘How did Jaden know where I live? How did he know I spread the news? Oh no! I’ve over. Jaden is so protective of his family. When he found out that I spread rumors about his sister, he must hate me. He would probably never forgive me…
Linda buried her head in her hands and banged her head against the pillow in pain. She felt like dying. Of course, she couldn’t bear to die.
She still had hundreds of millions of assets to spend. The most important thing now was to protect her assets.
She pulled herself together and hurriedly dressed up. She told the nanny that her mother was dying of illness and that she had to return to Kitmore City immediately before driving out of Hupool City.
She wanted to beg Jaden to forgive her. At the very least, she couldn’t let Jaden take her to court.

At this moment, in Donovan’s Restaurant in Kitmore City, Luna browsed through Jaden’s list of defendants while tasting the delicacies. She asked curiously, “How did you get the identity information of these rumormongers?”
The identities of these people were too detailed, including the social media accounts, cell phone numbers, workplaces, and work addresses they used to spread rumors, their origins, properties under their names, permanent addresses, and so on. Luna was really shocked.
“My sister Athena sent it to me.” Jaden’s eyes became gentle and filled with admiration. “As soon as the rumors on the Internet broke out, she began to investigate the identity of the person who spread the rumors. She investigated every person who appeared.”
“Athena is really amazing!” Luna raised her thumb and praised her sincerely. “I’ve seen many geniuses and elites, but Athena is undoubtedly the most powerful one.”
“That’s right.” Jaden smiled slightly. There was a hint of pride in his eyes. “It’s all thanks to her that our family can be where we are today.”
While the two of them were talking, Luna kept receiving calls. However, she did not take any of them. She only read the messages.
Then, she said, “Some paparazzi contacted me and asked me to plea for them. They said that as long as you’re willing to drop the lawsuit or settle it, anything is fine. Are you going to cut them some slack?”
Jaden smiled faintly. His expression was a little unfathomable. “I can let them go, but it depends on whether they accept my conditions.”
Luna was curious. “What condition?”
Jaden did not hide it. “You know, Zayn has just debuted and needs some public support.”
Luna was stunned for two seconds before she slowly widened her beautiful eyes and said in surprise, “You want these paparazzi to not make things difficult for Zayn in the future, right?”
“Yes.” Jaden smiled. “As long as they publicly apologize and eliminate the negative impact on me and Athena. I don’t have to push them to the opposite side. And instead of being irreconcilable with them, why not use this opportunity to pave the way for Zayn?”
Luna looked at Jaden with a scrutinizing gaze.
She had lived in Qxhorn Village for so long and thought she knew Jaden, but now she realized that Jaden was still a shrewd businessman who would definitely know how to seize the opportunity to obtain the greatest benefits for himself.
To be honest, Luna admired this side of Jaden,
Jaden did not care about her scrutiny. After saying that, he picked up fork and tasted the food.

Luna finished her pudding and changed the topic. “How’s things going in Oxhorn Village? How’s the flower slope?”
That was because there had been too many tourists, fans, streamers, and internet celebrities who had gone to Oxhorn Village to explore the secrets in the past few days. Those blockades were almost unstoppable.
Afraid of being surrounded by people and the contents of the movie being leaked, the crew left Oxhorn Village overnight after filming the last scene.
Luna left too and was staying in Kitmore City.
