Chapter 68: Chapter 68: PLANS

Upon hearing that, Logan looked at his mother dumbfoundedly, puzzled by what she was talking about.

"What headlines?" he couldn’t help but ask, confusingly.

Madam Meyer, seeing her son’s reaction, understood that her son was completely unaware of what was happening.

But if he didn’t know, then what about his subordinates?

Didn’t they know how to inform their boss?

Madam Meyer sighed as she looked at her son before helplessly saying, "The paparazzi had taken shots of you at the hospital. There are now speculations regarding your wife," revealing what the fuss was all about online.

When Logan heard that, his brows furrowed, seeming a bit dazed. However, it didn’t last long as he returned to reality and took out his phone to check for himself.

Surely, there were a few headlines about the matter. After reading a few posts, he heaved with relief, seeing that there wasn’t anything bad just yet.

Seeing that her son had seen what she was worried about, she couldn’t help but ask, "What do you plan to do with this?" curious about her son’s next steps.

Logan put his phone aside and looked at his mother calmly, his expression a bit unreadable, and answered, "I can see that the PR is handling its job well. For now, I will just let them do what they were doing. Let the public get used to that fact. When Briar appears in public, there won’t be too much heat."

Alice was taken aback by what she was hearing. She didn’t expect that her brother’s people were dealing with the matter in the background, despite him not knowing about it.

’It seems that he prepared beforehand. No wonder why he is leading the main company,’ she earnestly praised inwardly.

Unaware of what Alice was thinking, Madam Meyer responded, "That’s good, then. You need to make sure that she gets treated as soon as possible as well. She needs to appear in public. I will arrange a few banquets, but before that, find an etiquette teacher. Everything must go well. We can’t afford the family losing face," very solemn with her words.

With how they had pushed Briar into the hot seat by their actions. Briar now needed to learn as much as she could. That way, when she faces other ladies out there in the future, she will carry the demeanor of a future matriarch. Although it wasn’t certain if the couple would remain together forever or separate when the time came, it was a must that Briar learns a few things.

That would help her boost her confidence and make her not tremble with fear when confronted. She knew this path pretty well, and it wasn’t easy.

There would be obstacles, temptations and pure evils there in the way of just making things difficult. So, before she got exposed to that, she needed to be prepared and wear armor that would protect her from any arrows shot at her in the future.

Logan momentarily froze when he heard his mother speaking about the lessons. Honestly, he didn’t think so far ahead like her. After all, in his eyes, Briar was good no matter how she was. Nonetheless, hearing his mother’s concerns, he understood where she was coming from and couldn’t help but agree to her suggestion.

"Um. I will look into that."

Madam Meyer heaved with relief when hearing that.

The mother, son and daughter spoke for some time after that. It was only when Lyra came downstairs with the others that they finally stopped.

"Why are you down here so early?" Logan asked his children suspiciously.

By now, shouldn’t they be chatting and playing with Briar?

Tiana pouted as she threw herself onto the sofa, looking wronged.

Madam Meyer and Alice, seeing that both looked at Lyra, asking her with their eyes what was going on.

Lyra, upon hearing that, it dawned on the adults. With the patient napping, the children couldn’t play anymore as they would be disturbed.

Considering how playful Tiana was in nature, it was understandable that she was sulking.

The two women chuckled lightly, finding Tiana very cute and dependent on Briar by her actions.

Since there was nothing wrong, Logan was at ease and didn’t bother to entertain Tiana.

Madam Meyer and Alice weren’t staying long. Since Briar was napping and couldn’t be seen as they were afraid of getting her too excited or agitated, they bade everyone farewell shortly after that.

After sending these two away, Logan instructed his kids to behave before going upstairs to check on Briar.

When he arrived, soft snores filled the room, and from the bed, he could see the covers rising and falling.

She was indeed asleep.

He walked towards her lightly without making too much sound. When he arrived, he looked at her with a soft gaze he didn’t even notice.

She looked fragile and peaceful sleeping there.

He didn’t know what kind of dreams she had at night or during the day, but he hoped that she would be carefree from now on.

Since it was hard on her to keep his family’s secrets, he might as well get rid of them in her mind.

Keeping in mind what was going on online and the impact that would have on his family and company, a resolution flashed in his eyes.

Logan didn’t continue to look at Briar. After making sure that she was sleeping, he left the room and closed the door gently to not wake her up.

However, what he didn’t know was that as soon as he got out, the sleeping beauty’s eyes snapped open and a dangerous glint was in those eyes.

Briar’s lips curled upwards in a smirk before a light chuckle escaped her lips.

She fumbled with the bedcovers and her hand emerged from the covers before reaching for her phone, which was on the bedside table.

With her phone in hand, she unlocked it with her fingerprint before swiftly going to a certain conspicuous app on her home screen.

She clicked on the app and a smile blossomed on her face as she looked at the number of messages she had received and yet to be replied to.
