Chapter 495: The Truth About Staying Unmarried (6)

"I see, Bryan Cooper. Congratulations! Seeing how happy you are now, I think Phoebe Miller would feel more comfort than bitterness, so don’t feel burdened. And don’t blame me—I’m just doing what I’ve been asked. Felicia Miller actually just cares about her sister."

"Yeah, I know."

"All right, then. You get to work, and I’ll leave now. I need to fly to South Africa to meet up with Phoebe first thing tomorrow morning." Selina Fleming stood up and took her leave.

Bryan Hawkins sent her to the door and asked Xavier Estrada to take her downstairs.

Then, he started to focus on work. Later, Xavier recounted the company gossip to Bryan Hawkins, who was genuinely surprised as it was just a charity banquet that unexpectedly sparked such gossip.

Even online, people were recalling the moment Phoebe Miller’s name surfaced, how Bryan Hawkins had to confess to her in front of the media more than five years ago, and that netizens still remembered it vividly.

Xavier wondered why these netizens had such a good memory of this.

"What?" Bryan Hawkins, upon hearing the gossip, learned that the staff in the company had even split into two factions. Many people even believed that he couldn’t forget his old feelings for Phoebe Miller, and she must be feeling the same, otherwise, she wouldn’t have come to G City.

He opened his computer and saw the netizen’s comments making his face darker and darker.

He didn’t know if Carolline saw it and what she might think, as well as his family.

As he thought about this, his grandmother from the Hawkins Family called, and it was a string of curses right away, "Listen up, you! If you lose Carolline again this time, don’t ever come back to the Hawkins Family! I don’t care how much you miss that woman surnamed Miller, I advise you to get it together. Otherwise, your grandmother will make you lose another leg to protect my precious granddaughter-in-law."

"..." Bryan Hawkins was speechless at her harsh words, "Grandma, don’t worry, there’s nothing going on. Moreover, during the banquet, I announced that Carolline and I’s wedding is set for the end of the year. If you’re still worried, I could call for another press conference. What do you think?"

"... You and Carolline can discuss that." Grandmother Hawkins paused, mumbling.

Was she too agitated and misunderstood him?

Were the things on the internet about his old feelings rekindling and the wedding cancellation just the netizens’ imaginings?

"Alright, I’m going to meet up with Carolline after work. Goodbye, Grandma." Bryan Hawkins hung up the phone, "Call the boss of the entertainment media and ask them to take down these online rumors."

"Yes." Xavier replied respectfully.

Bryan Hawkins thought for a moment that even though there were still several months before their scheduled wedding date, they could send out invitations early. So, he first called France to inquire about the custom-designed wedding dress, and encouraged the designer to speed up the process, even if it required more work. He wanted the dress ready before the previously agreed-upon date.

Once the promise was made, Bryan Hawkins hung up and called Sophia Lawson, "Mom, let’s do this: put the other preparations aside for now, and focus on getting the invitations done. Think about how many people we need to invite, and send out the invitations."
