“What are you going to tell me now? That the video was not released by the Walton Family?” Sebastian raged in a sharp tone without any consideration for Old Master Walton’s pride.
The latter was so angry that his face flushed red in anger and at the same time, he was at a loss for words. Apparently, they had found out that it was Gemma who released the video to the public, which indicated that she had no intention to make peace with the Hart Family.
Before Old Master Walton could even say a word, Sebastian directly hung up the call and switched off his phone.
Old Master Walton was so pissed that his chest heaved vigorously. After the call was hung up, he hit his cane so hard on the floor that it snapped.
“Dad, how was it?” Samuel worriedly asked from the side.
“What else can have happened? Gemma has gotten herself in big trouble this time!” Old Master Walton growled.
He did not expect that his granddaughter would kick up such a huge mess when they only took their eyes off her for one second. The Hart Family had made themselves clear that they would not let the Walton Family off the hook, so no matter what the Hart Family had in mind for them, they had no choice but to face the difficulty head-on. Fortunately, the video that had been released now was to their advantage, which means they had to make sure that everything was in hand before the Hart Family started to take control of the situation.
Gideon’s initial plan was to have the magazine company take down the video and delete the article, but Old Master Walton had something else in mind. “Put out word about the accident and say that Gemma was frightened when Tony threatened to kill her, which was why she did the wrong thing in a fit of mental confusion. Let the public know about her injuries too. We will portray her as a weak lady and stress on the point that she was frightened. Also, describe the incident in a way that would make Tony’s injuries seem as if it is nothing serious. All in all, we have to clear Gemma’s name and we must never let the Hart Family take control of the situation.”
Old Master Hart pressed his thin lips together, his expression stern.
Mrs. Walton was frightened and she mumbled a question at him, “Does Gemma still have to leave Bradfort City?”
“Is there even such a need? We basically launched a war with the Hart Family.” Sarcasm and frustration spread across his face as he muttered, “This time, Gemma can only pray for her to survive through this!”
A storm approached in the night. The Hart Family seemed as calm as usual, doing whatever they usually do, while the Walton Family seemed to be sitting on pins and needles for fear that they would miss out on anything. On the other hand, Gemma was happily reading the negative remarks made by the netizens about Tony, while Tony and Myra were quietly sleeping together in each other’s embrace.
The next morning, Sebastian woke up early in the morning. When he went downstairs, the housekeeper immediately took notice that he had put on a formal suit today, and he looked fresh and energetic.
She walked up to him. “Old Master Hart, I have prepared the soup and porridge that you instructed me to make last night. I have placed them on the table in the dining room.”
He hummed in response. After having breakfast, he went to the hospital with Lisa to send two sets of breakfast over.
…
Myra cleverly did not immediately go online to read the news when she woke up early in the morning, as she knew the news must be filled with unpleasant curses that were targeted at Tony.
Sebastian and Lisa sent breakfast to them early in the morning, and Tony and Myra had a simple breakfast. Today was the day Tony was going to be discharged from the hospital. As his recovery had been going smoothly, he applied to continue his recovery away from hospital, and the hospital would regularly send doctors and nurses over to him to check his condition.
Myra knew that he was going to return to the company today, so she intended to follow along, while Sebastian and Lisa tagged along as well.
When they left the hospital, the situation in reality was, in fact, slightly better than what she had imagined.
