Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Tricky Woman’s Downfall

Christopher Hart’s love confession disappeared without a trace as his social media account was blown up.

However, some sharp-eyed netizens discovered it in time and captured screenshots as proof.

Luckily, not many were aware, and the Hart Family spent heavily to control the critics and even bought out news feeds to minimize the impact. In the end, they managed to temporarily suppress Christopher Hart’s statement.

But online discussions about the incident, as well as the abuse and insults directed at them, remained intensely popular.

Unexpectedly, netizens’ extensive reach also exposed Christopher Hart’s ex-wife.

The gossip enthusiasts were surprised to discover that President Hart’s ex-wife was actually Amelia Garcia from the Garcia family.

Instantly, all kinds of mocking voices also drowned Lily Garcia.

"Sisters serving one husband, tsk tsk, rich people really know how to play."

"Maybe she had her eye on her brother-in-law all along, just waiting for this day!"

"Could it be that she had already interfered with her sister’s family? Conveniently, her sister dies accidentally, and she takes her place?"

In the hospital room, Lily Garcia stared at her phone, looking at those messy comments, furious and pounding on the bed.

"These people are sick!"

She logged into an anonymous account and started cursively fighting back with the netizens, using words too vulgar to mention.

Fiona Marshall pushed the door open, saw her daughter cursing, and quickly came forward to remind her, "You better lie down, Emma Carter is here!"

Lily Garcia was startled, hurriedly put down her phone, lay flat, and put on a frail and wan appearance.

Emma Carter entered the room and asked with a heart full of remorse and pity, "Lily, how are you? Your health is important, don’t think about those unhappy things."

Before Lily Garcia could speak, tears began to roll down her cheeks. She glanced at the door, expressing disappointment and grievance, "Christopher... is he still blaming me? He won’t even come to see me..."

Emma Carter had spoken with her son before coming, but no matter what, her son refused to come, and there was nothing she could do.

However, in front of the mother and son of the Garcia family, she could only make up another excuse.

"Christopher is busy managing the mess on the internet; he must find a way to resolve it."

Since the topic had come up, Fiona Marshall directly expressed her disapproval, "Humph! If I had known your family was so unreliable, I would never have been so foolish. Now Lily’s health is ruined, and she has no prospects for the second half of her life. Your son refuses to marry her, and now she can only live out her life as an old maid."

Emma Carter turned around with an apologetic smile, "We definitely did wrong in this matter, Christopher was momentarily deluded... but don’t worry, what Emma Carter promises, she delivers. I’ll even bind him if I must to ensure he marries Lily."

Lily Garcia mournfully said, "But then... he will hate me even more."

Emma Carter comforted, "Silly girl, feelings can be cultivated. Just coax him a bit, and eventually his heart will soften."

Not liking what she heard, Fiona Marshall responded, "It’s already your family owing Lily, and yet she should still coax him?"

Emma Carter straightened herself up, smiled slightly, and lightly retorted, "Well, what can we do... there’s this saying that goes: whoever loves deeply, loses — as parents, we’ve done what we could."

Though the words were gentle, they were powerful.

The implication was clear: it’s your daughter who is madly in love with my son, unwilling to let go. Since that’s the case, your daughter will have to humble herself and coax my son to live together.

If you can, don’t marry him off.

Fiona Marshall, struck by the retort, glared at Emma Carter hatefully, speechless.

Emma Carter simply made a cursory visit before leaving.

Fiona Marshall slammed the hospital room door shut and turned around, unleashing a tirade, "Not a single good one in the Hart Family! Once you marry into them, you must watch out for that old witch. Don’t let her control you!"

Lily Garcia clenched her teeth in secret, "Once I marry into their family, I’ll make them pay double for the grievances I suffered!"

Downstairs, back in the car, Emma Carter’s face relaxed and she said bluntly, "That Tricky Woman is so melodramatic! She doesn’t even consider her own status before indulging in such grandiose daydreams, thinking herself so noble. She’s not even up to Amelia Garcia’s level, who at least had legitimate reasons, looks, and education."

George Hart knew his wife must have been agitated by the Garcias again, and patted her hand to comfort her, "Okay, remember you made that marriage promise years ago."

"Do you think I wanted to? Should I just sit back and watch Wendy die if I don’t appease them?"

"Alright, alright, no more about that."

Emma Carter was still angry, "It’s all your son’s fault! The older he gets, the more unreasonable he becomes! Family reputation, company interests, sibling bonds—do these weigh less than a woman of dubious origin?"

At that moment, Emma Carter suddenly remembered something, took out her cellphone, and reported a location to the driver.

George Hart asked, "Who are you going to meet?"

"I’m going to confront that Fox Spirit! If she agrees to leave, won’t Christopher settle down? We can’t just let them go on like this and cause chaos!"

Benny Palmer arrived at the Imperial Garden Villa and seeing Christopher Hart still in the mood to play with his daughter, he almost felt like kneeling down in frustration.

"President Hart, how old are you to still be so lovestruck?"

"You’ve won over a beauty, but do you realize how much you’re harming the company? The official website and blogs are being cursed out! People are accusing you of ingratitude as the boss, suggesting there must be problems with the company as well, calling for a boycott!"

Christopher Hart remained calm until he finished playing with the last building block with his daughter, then gently encouraged the little girl to go play by herself before standing up.

Benny Palmer followed him upstairs to the study.

Seeing that he remained silent, Young Master Palmer got anxious again, "Are you even listening to me? Or have you decided to neglect the company? It’s your Hart family’s business; if you ignore this, I’ll leave immediately. I have no interest in dealing with these extraneous issues."

Christopher Hart sat down, looked at his friend, remained silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Do you have any way to make Lily Garcia back off voluntarily?"

"What?" Young Master Palmer questioned his own ears, and once he made sure he hadn’t misheard, he jumped up, "Are you still thinking about that mess? Can you please focus on the company?"

"As long as Lily Garcia stops meddling, the company’s troubles will also be resolved. Otherwise, what can I do?" Christopher responded, with an air of detachment.

Benny Palmer thought for a moment—it did make sense, but there was a problem—

"Lily Garcia has been infatuated with you since she was a teenager, dreaming of marrying you. You think she’d give up willingly? That might be even harder than reaching the heavens."

Christopher Hart’s expression cooled, and his brow furrowed slightly, "Money makes the mare go. I refuse to believe the Garcias aren’t tempted by wealth."

Benny Palmer paused, then suddenly raised his eyebrows, "Why not talk to Michael Garcia? His company hasn’t been doing well these past few years. I think it could be beneficial if you approached him."

That was precisely what Christopher Hart had in mind when he said that.

However, reaching out so directly was somewhat beneath him.

As he hesitated about how to make the call, his phone on the table rang.

Both looked at the screen in surprise.

Benny Palmer smiled, "What a coincidence! Speak of the devil, and he appears! Though he’s bound to be here to yell at you!"
