Chapter 11 You Got Someone to Follow Me?
Just after 3pm, the opinion shifted again online as an affirmation from Jennifer appeared on her personal social media account.
Jennifer’s affirmation was nearly a thousand words, but in fact, there were only two meanings in total: one was that she and Austin were just very good friends, and during Austin and Suny’s marriage, she did not do anything to destroy their marriage; the second was that today was her painting exhibition, and she was a bit confused as to why Suny, who had divorced Austin, would appear at her own exhibition.
Smart people could see thatJennifer was very bitchy, she seemed to clear the fact, but her statement was a sarcastic comment about Suny’s divorce and her inability to let go of her ex-husband and even brought someone to the painting exhibition because her ex-husband was there.
Alicia had been immersed in the entertainment industry for many years, and such an affirmation made her angry, so she went straight to the big move Suny had given her.
So in just half an hour, public opinion was already completely lopsided.
When Ivan learnt about this matter from his assistant, he hurriedly asked someone to sort out the circumstances of the matter, and then knocked on Austin’s office door.
Austin at his desk didn’t even raise his head, “What is it?”
“Mr. Johnson, there are some rumours on the internet about you and Miss Dawson, do you need to clarify them?”
“What rumours?”
Austinfrowned, a look of impatience on his face.
Ivan couldn’t decide whether it was a fact or a rumor, and he didn’t have the courage to tell Austin that intimate photos of Jennifer and him in a room had been posted online.
Ivan directly put the tablet in his hand in front of Austin: “This morning, Miss Dawson’s painting exhibition was broadcast live throughout, and it just so happened that Miss Holland arrived at the exhibition, so the internet started a bit of not-so-good opinion …”
Austin had no interest in these things on the Internet, but the set of photos on that tablet were so conspicuous.
The photo inside was of him in a bathrobe just coming out of the bathroom while Jennifer was taking a selfie with her phone in front of him, although there was no substantial contact, such a photo was indeed ambiguous.
He was away on business that day and met Jennifer at a dinner party where she had drunk a lot of wine. He asked Ivan to send Jennifer back to her room for the sake of the Dawson family, but Jennifer vomited just after she left the doorway, and the vomit even got on his body. He hadIvan sent her away, and he got into his room to take a bath.
As he had just come out of the shower, Jennifer appeared inside his room in a bathrobe. She said she had come to apologize, and before he heard her say a few words, he impatiently sent her away.
“Where did this picture come from?”
Austin slide his tablet, and after seeing those comments, his face was as cold as the cold winter.
Ivan inexplicably felt a chill, “I haven’t found out yet.”
“Why all of a sudden would so many passages be talking about me?”
It was practically scolding him.
Ivan raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, “We found out that all these self-publishers have received circulars bought by the publicist over at Phantom.”
Austin suddenly snapped the tablet onto the desktop, his pair of black eyes were gloomy and frightening: “Contact the person in charge of Phantom and have their people withdraw the article immediately!”
“Yes, yes, Mr. Johnson, I’ll get in touch right away!”
Ivan hurriedly went out to find the number of the person in charge of Phantom, it was scary to think about Austin’s face right now!
In the office, Austin’s face was morbidly cold, suddenly, he seemed to think of something and reached out to dial Ivan’s number, “There’s no need to contact the person in charge of Phantom!”
After the words were said, Austin hung up the call and walked to the floor to dial his ex-wife’s number, which he hadn’t dialed once in three years.
Suny was already familiar with Austin’s number, and even though there was no note, Suny could tell at a glance that it was Austin’s call.
The phone on her desk was ringing and she just looked at it, not intending to answer it.
Alicia, who felt that something was wrong, glanced at Suny and saw that she was still leisurely eating grapes, so she couldn’t help but ask tentatively, “A call from Austin?”
Suny spat out the grape skin, “Yes.”
“Don’t you answer?”
Austin could not be offended.
Suny gave her a faint look, “Are you afraid now?”
Alicia would never admit it: “Nonsense! I was just thinking why he is calling you, we can take this opportunity to scold him!”
As soon as her words left her mouth, Suny suddenly pressed answer and then handed her the phone, “Here, scold him.”
Alicia: “… No, Suny.”
Suny smiled before bringing the phone to her ear, “What’s wrong, Mr. Johnson?”
Austin, who had just got no response, heard such a light-hearted sentence from the other side and suddenly felt a breath of air blocking his heart.
“You sent out the photo?”
Suny didn’t deny it, “Sort of.”
“You got someone to follow me?”
Suny snorted coldly, “You think too highly of yourself, Austin.”
After saying that, she simply hung up the phone.
Alicia, who was watching from the side, subconsciously applauded, “You are awesome!”
Suny wanted to laugh but was unable to do so, “Alright, go back to Ashley. Don’t even do this kind of thing in the future, it’s not much fun.”
When Alicia saw that Suny did not look well, she felt a bit guilty: “What did Austin say?”
“He questioned whether I had got someone to follow him.”
“What is he thinking?”
Suny was silent for a second, “Who knows?”
In the past, when she was young and innocent, she brought her heart to him and let him step on it. Now that she was divorced, he still thought she was as easy to bully as before.
Alicia sighed, “It is okay, it is okay, come here to my big boobs for comfort!”
Suny was instantly amused, “Get lost, if I guess right, Austin’s secretary is probably already leading people to come here.”
As Alicia was just about to say something, the phone rang, she glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Joan, so she had to answer the phone, “Joan, what’s wrong?”
“Austin’s secretary is looking for you and says he wants to see you, so hurry up and come back to the office or he’ll see you in court.”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
“… I’ll be right back!”
Alicia looked at Suny, “Suny! Your ex-husband’s lapdog has brought someone to the office, I have to go back.”
Suny waved her hand, thought about it, and was not too sure about Alicia’s intelligence: “If Ivan scares you, just tell him that the photo was sent to me by Jennifer.”
Alicia answered, “Okay, I know, I’ll go back to deal with Austin’s lapdogs first, don’t you be sad alone!”
Suny didn’t even give her a look, so Alicia had to walk away in a sarcastic manner.
