Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet? novel Chapter 627

It made no sense!

Laura thought for a moment before saying, “You’ve promised your mother to hide our marriage for a year. Let’s just get through a year first.”

Max’s expression turned more surly.

But this was a promise he had made to his mother.

It was also what made Christine agree to let him and Laura stay married for now.

Therefore, Max had to honor this promise.

At last, Max could only watch Laura leave the house in reluctance.

A car had been waiting outside to pick her up.

Seeing Laura, Nicole leaped out of the car and handed her a hat, a pair of sunglasses, and a mask. After Laura put these on, nobody could possibly recognize her. Nicole looked around to make sure everything was OK, and then led Laura into the car and drove away.

Laura didn’t go to work for a few days because of the kidnapping. So in the next few days, the crew would focus on shooting the parts Laura should have done days ago.

Of course, the crew had all seen the scandal online.

Some were not interested at all, but some were quite curious.

Nevertheless, everyone had formed a tacit agreement—no one talked about this when Laura was around.

After all, this was not something to be proud of.

If they discussed it in Laura’s presence, they would feel they were speaking ill of her and embarrassing her on purpose.

Laura knew the others must be gossiping behind her back.

But as long as they didn’t do it in her face, she preferred to act like she didn’t know it.

Days went by in peace.

The sensation caused by the scandal lasted for days. But Laura didn’t respond. After doing the one-person show for a couple of days, Lily also felt this game was not fun anymore.

If Laura responded, Lily would get a chance to pick a fight. Then, the whole thing would be interesting.

But if Laura never reacted to it, even though it went viral on the Internet, those who followed the story would gradually lose interest when they realized that there was nothing new anymore.

However, to wait for the heat of this scandal to wear off was easier said than done.

After all, Laura knew many people were talking about her and even rebuking her on the Internet.

Yet, she had to pretend that she knew nothing. Nor could she do anything or care about it.

Luckily, Laura had firm willpower. Under Maria’s instruction, she didn’t make any response no matter how heated scandals had become online.

To not ruin her mood, she didn’t touch her cell phone these days. Nor did she check Twitter once.

When she had to use her cell phone for work, she asked Nicole to handle it.

For this reason, though she didn’t see any of those snarky comments online, Nicole saw it all.

She now sympathized with Laura even more.

She thought indignantly, “Why are these people so vicious?

“It’s obvious that Laura is the victim. But why didn’t they feel for her but attack and ridicule her with every chance they got?”

“Look at what they said online. Do they kiss their mother with that mouth?”

“They called her 'daughter of a murderer’. They said she deserved to be publicly humiliated. They even told her to disappear from the entertainment circle for good and that she should kill herself!”

“None of these people know about the truth!”

“They merely trashed Laura because they saw others all doing this!”

In recent years, Laura’s career had been going very well. Now, she was basically a top-class actress.

She was getting more and more acting offers. As such, in the highly competitive show business, she had gotten in the way of many.

Now that she had a scandal, those who took issues with her success naturally took the opportunity to fan the flames.

For a time, the Internet was filled with nasty accusations.
