Chapter 190 A Slander
Emma disappeared on the day Grandpa George went abroad. Mason looked for her everywhere. And he nearly called the police. Finally, Emma turned up. It seemed that nothing happened.
Mason asked hurriedly, “Emma! Where were you going? I’m so worried!”
“I just went for a walk.”
“Emma?” Mason was a bit shocked since she answered him in a normal way!
Mason screamed out, “Are you normal now?”
‘She recovers so quickly since she left the mental hospital? Now she seems to get much better.’ Mason thought. It happened so suddenly that he couldn’t believe it.
But it was true that Emma looked normal.
Emma was smiling at him, “Dad. What’s the matter? Why are you so shocked? It’s good that I’m getting better, isn’t it?”
“But…”
Mason thought there may be something wrong. He felt puzzled and strange, but he couldn’t tell it. “Emma, tell me the truth. You pretended to be insane at the very beginning, didn’t you?”
Emma’s face darkened, “Dad! How can you accuse me like that? The truth is, I walked out from the darkness and felt much better. It’s good news, isn’t it? Why do you doubt me?”
“It’s not what I meant.”
“Then why do you think I am telling lies?” Emma looked at him with desperation. “Yes, I did tell lies before. But I never lie to you! And I can’t believe that you will doubt me one day!”
“Emma…” He couldn’t continue his sentence.
Emma shook her head, showing her injured wrist to Mason, “Dad. I nearly died. But thankfully I am still alive. So I won’t do anything stupid anymore. I know I made mistakes and hurt some people. But I want to be a good person now. Why don’t you believe me?”
Mason lowered his head, feeling so guilty, “I am so sorry, Emma. I shouldn’t doubt you. Don’t be angry.”
Emma sneered, “Forget it. I know you don’t believe me. And you give up on me. In your heart, Elena is your only daughter, and I am not!”
Mason didn’t say a word, looking at her in shock. Then she added, “Dad. Please remember; I am your real daughter, not Elena!”
“Enough!” Mason yelled at her. Elena was the last person he wanted to talk about now. He was sullen, “I’ve told you not to mention it again. Why are you always talking about her?!”
Emma looked at him with disappointment and a meaningful smile.
Mason felt a bit scared to see her weird smile. He wanted to speak, but the words just wouldn’t come out of his mouth.
After a while, Mason gave up continuing this conversation. He lowered his head, saying with disappointment, “Take a good rest. I’ll call the doctor.”
“Where’s Jeremy?” She suddenly asked.
Mason was puzzled, “How do you know he was here?”
She wouldn’t know it; she was unconscious at that time. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Emma added, “I know what happened to me, dad. Are you still thinking that I pretended to be insane?”
Mason looked away, shaking his head, “No, I am not. Just let it go.”
Emma sneered, “Oh, good to know that.”
He didn’t want to face her, “Well, I’ll talk to the doctor.”
He couldn’t wait to run out from the ward, like escaping. But Emma didn’t care anymore.

At the same time, a piece of news went viral. ‘Breaking News: Logan Brown’s Secret Wife Dating Young Boy’. Now everyone believed that Logan was cheated by his wife.
Once Jacob saw this, he called Logan immediately. While Logan was still sleeping.
“Sir. Someone made up news to smear Elena and you.”
Logan was shocked to hear that, “What?!”
Jacob took a breath and told the whole story. Logan became angry as he heard it. He looked at Elena, who was still sleeping. He didn’t want to wake her up, so he said in a low voice, “I will call you back in 5 minutes.”
Jacob understood and hung up the phone immediately.
Logan went to the study slowly and called Jacob back.
“When did it happen?” He said, turning on his laptop. When he opened the browser, News Feed automatically told him about the news.
“At midnight. Someone released the news late at night and then it rushed to be the headline in an incredibly short time. The comments below are all about curses and criticism. And Elena’s information is also posted!”
Logan clicked to check the comments. Sure enough, he could see Elena’s personal information in detail! She was the target now.
‘She looks so familiar. The employee of Green Light Magazine who was hit?”
‘Shocking! She is a bitch! She stole her sister’s fiancé! Or how could she ever marry Logan Brown!’
‘Rich people are so complicated!’
Reading the comments, Logan was getting furious. “Delete all the comments about Elena. Now!”
Rumors could always kill. He wouldn’t let this fake news hurt Elena.
Jacob hesitated, “I’m afraid that we shouldn’t delete comments now. Elena is the target of blame. If the comments disappear suddenly, people will think it’s Elena manipulating behind…”
Logan narrowed his eyes in fury, “Do you mean we should stand this?”
Jacob could feel the coldness and rage from Logan through the phone, which made him nervous. However, he had to tell him, “Yes…you are right.”
“I need to know the deadline; how many days do you need to deal with it?”
“At least three days.” Jacob lowered his head. Though Logan couldn’t see him, he still felt so nervous.
Logan tapped on the desk, thinking. Then he said, “OK. Just three days. You must solve this problem! And arrange a press conference. Elena and I will attend it then.”
