âTheyâll be elated if they find out.â Patrick knew that Brianâs parents would not interfere with Brianâs marriage as long as he was willing to marry a woman.
âDid you come to see me about something?â Brian asked.
Only then did Patrick realize what he had come here for, but he was a little embarrassed to speak. âItâs about Queenie Mack. I didnât want to bother with it at first, but her family makes a scene at my company every day and causes a lot of trouble, so Iââ
âDo you want me to cut her some slack?â Brian asked as he raised his eyebrows.
âThat was the idea, but I donât think thatâll happen now,â said Patrick. Brian was serious about Valda Theller, so he would not go easy on Queenie Mack, who harmed Valda Theller on the film set.
The Huo familyâs plans were now in vain.
âItâs best if you donât have such ideas now. Since that woman dared to do such a thing in the first place, she should now suffer the consequences,â Brian said indifferently. His dark phoenix eyes glimmered with malice.
Jasonâs men had subdued the people who put Grace in the hospital that day. They also learned from those people that L City was full of rumors about Martin Weiss having an affair.
Martin Weiss had not made any statement about these rumors. It was as if he was planning to let people forget it with time.
Martin Weiss was not a celebrity, so it did not go viral but just spread in L City on a small scale.
Several people happened to recognize Kyla that day, so they wanted to make a video or get some special content to sell to Martin Weiss at a high price.
If they could not sell them, they could create some buzz online too.
However, they did not expect the Reed familyâs mistress, Grace, to be with Kyla, let alone frighten her so much that she was hospitalized.
It was no use crying over spilled milk now. The Reed family had decided to sue them. The Reed familyâs legal team was nationally renowned. The lawsuit would inevitably cause them to give monetary compensation and take corresponding responsibilities.
Grace called Kyla and told her about Jasonâs findings.
âWhy didnât Martin Weiss explain? Weâre divorced, so itâs not an affair,â said Kyla.
âIs it because he took someone else to the banquet before your divorce took effect?â Grace asked.
âEven then, he could have argued against it with all sorts of other reasons so he wouldnât be called a cheater. Especially if he only attended it with a companion.â Kyla was puzzled. It was a little far-fetched to call him a cheater when he only brought a companion to the banquet.
Perhaps⦠there was something else?
âThere must be something else. But this rumor only spread in L City on a small scale. The people that day had no idea too. They only heard he was having an affair. How about this? Iâll ask Jay to look into it again,â said Grace.
âNo thanks, Iâll call Martin Weiss and ask him myself. I want to ask why he didnât make any statement to refute it,â said Kyla.
âOkay,â said Grace, knowing she did not want to bother her.
Besides, this was between Kyla and Martin Weiss. It was indeed inappropriate for her to interfere.
âGrace, Iâm sorry about that day. Iâve put you in so much danger,â Kyla said apologetically.
âDonât say that. The baby and I are fine now,â Grace reassured.
However, she would have to stay in bed until she gave birth.
âKyla, youâd better find out what happened to Martin Weiss as soon as possible, lest it affects your children.â
