Chapter 469: Chapter 469: Selling Wife for Glory

Murmuring in her heart, she answered normally, "Hello, Doctor Smith."

"Miss Norton, have you seen the news online?" Charles Smith’s voice was as pleasant as ever, but today it carried a bit of seriousness.

Amelia Garcia saw the workers bringing scaffolding inside, turned aside while holding her phone, and only asked when she had moved out of the way, "What news? I came to the Ancient Town early this morning, just driving."

"Oh, you went to the courtyard."

"Yes. What exactly happened? Is there news online related to me again?" Otherwise, people wouldn’t call her specifically.

"Yes, last night you and my dad were having dinner at Uncle Mason’s place, and some idle person recognized you, took photos, and leaked them to the media."

Amelia Garcia’s face showed helplessness and annoyance upon hearing this.

This kind of thing, she can never seem to evade.

She just couldn’t understand why, though she was an ordinary person—not a celebrity, nor a wealthy magnate—someone always seemed to watch her, exposing her personal matters online!

She held her forehead with one hand, maintained her composure for a while, and then quietly asked, "What is being said online?"

"There are all kinds of statements. I’ll send them for you to see. But don’t worry, I just spoke with my dad, and he will have someone handle it soon." As Charles Smith spoke, someone beside him called, and he quickly said, "I have to go into the operating room now, perhaps you can explain to Mr. Hart first, to prevent misunderstandings between you two again."

Explain to Christopher Hart?

Explain what?

Amelia Garcia wanted to ask further, but Charles Smith had already hung up.

Subsequently, the notifications on WhatsApp "dinged" several times.

She opened WhatsApp and saw that Charles Smith had sent over several Twitter links.

Opening one to have a look, she was both angry and amused!

[Seal-Cloud President selling out his wife to maintain honor, actually giving up his beloved woman to preserve the company.]

This was simply... even fabrications couldn’t be so ridiculous!

Closing the page, she opened another link and felt even more absurd!

[River City’s ’Wendi Deng Murdoch’: Mother of three drifting among top billionaires, is it true love or the allure of money?]

Amelia Garcia exploded with a curse in her heart, too lazy to look at the content below, and closed it.

Before she opened the third one, her phone rang again.

Snow.

She answered the call and preemptively spoke before her friend could, "If you are calling to tell me that I’m trending again—no need, I’ve seen it."

"You’ve seen it?" Snow exclaimed in surprise, "Your news is quite prompt this time! I thought you didn’t know!"

She laughed weakly, "Your crush just called and told me."

"My crush... Oh, you’re talking about Doctor Smith!" Snow quickly reacted, sourly saying, "He’s really attentive to you! To say he has no unconventional intentions, I..."

"What are you thinking! This time the scandal’s protagonist is his father! How could he not be attentive?"

"Oh, that makes sense..." Snow belatedly realized, muttering a comment, and suddenly, filled with righteous indignation, began to scold, "Those garbage, parasites online, what are their brains like! Did you see those articles, they are written all over the place, quickly send a lawyer’s letter and let them all go to prison for spreading defamation slander! It’s outrageous!"

Amelia Garcia knew her friend’s temperament, intending to advise not to be angry, that it wasn’t necessary, but she barely had the opportunity to speak.

"Do you know what they are saying? They actually say... no wonder Seal-Cloud suddenly collaborated with a company like Mandrake, turns out it was a beauty trap! They say Christopher Hart sacrificed his incredibly beautiful beloved to Mandrake’s president in exchange for cooperation between the two companies."

"They also say Mandrake’s president has always been discreet, thought to be a virtuous gentleman, but turns out to be a lecherous old man, clearly old enough to be your father, aren’t you ashamed to be together!"

"They further say you surely despise Seal-Cloud’s president for being disabled, deliberately took this opportunity, killing three birds with one stone, both abandoning the disabled ex-boyfriend and climbing to a wealthier branch, while also saving Seal-Cloud in passing."

Amelia Garcia had deliberately avoided looking at the content of those news articles earlier, just not wanting to irritate herself.

Unexpectedly, Snow’s mouth replaced...

"Alright, alright, don’t say anymore." To prevent hearing more unpleasant words, Amelia Garcia urgently interrupted, "Since it concerns Chairman Smith, he’ll definitely step forward to solve it, it should be resolved soon."

"Yes, I hope so. But if Christopher Hart knows about these, won’t he get angry with you again?"

Snow’s words brought sudden realization to Amelia Garcia, "Ah... no wonder he was hesitant when he called me earlier, he must have already known."

"He? Who? Are you talking about Christopher Hart?"

"Snow, I won’t chat with you now, hanging up!" She hung up the call and immediately dialed Christopher Hart.

This guy, could he really misunderstand?

Only two rings and the call was answered, "Hello, Amelia."

"Did you see the news online?"

"You know about it?"

"You called me to talk about this, didn’t you?"

"Yes, I originally wanted to tell you, but you were driving, and I was afraid you’d be distracted and unsafe, so I didn’t say." Christopher Hart explained, sounding very calm and gentle.

Amelia Garcia anxiously paced back and forth, restless, "It was Doctor Smith and Snow, they both told me around the same time, I’ve seen those reports, this definitely is someone maliciously stirring the pot, aiming to ruin the partnership of the two companies, destroy Seal-Cloud, and ruin us, you absolutely can’t fall for it!"

"Fool, how could I not know about that?" Christopher Hart remained unhurried, soothing her with indulgence, and apologetically said, "I did intend to spend some money to settle it, but unfortunately several media outlets published it together, this PR expense..."

The huge PR costs made President Hart, with his tight finances, hesitate and unable to resolve this trouble.

Amelia Garcia knew what he was about to say, immediately comforting, "Don’t be foolish! Even if you have the money, don’t spend it on this! Don’t encourage this wicked trend! Seal-Cloud’s legal department has so many lawyers, what are they doing? Have them issue a lawyer’s letter and take these media to court, anyway I’m free, I’ll fully accompany them in lawsuits, just as if we’re clearing up the media industry!"

This wasn’t just talk, Amelia Garcia truly felt, this world bullies the weak but fears the strong, you have to confront the wicked head-on.

Time and time again, she’s been exposed online, doxxed, cyberbullied, and time and time again she chose to endure, thinking clarity would clear itself, unwilling to deal with those vile people.

Unexpectedly, they pushed their limits, endlessly.

Christopher Hart was a bit surprised by her angry yet decisive speech, uncertainly asking, "Are you really planning to do this?"

"What else can I do? Let them slander me, defame me?"

"Alright, as long as you’re not afraid, we’ll confront them and go all the way."

Amelia Garcia pursed her lips and muttered, "Why would I be afraid of them... the one I’m afraid of is you. I’m afraid you’ll see those photos, those filthy comments, and again become irrationally jealous, and criticize me for not listening to your advice, which led to all this."
