Chapter 139
Reports about the improper dealings between Vernon and Nora and their subsequent visit to the police station had spread like wildfire.
Both the Munoz family and the Morton family suffered significant setbacks due to the scandal, with stock market fluctuations and considerable losses.
The Morton family never looked favorably upon Vernon who was an illegitimate child.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
And he had caused such a huge mess. All the headlines in Meawood City were filled with his and Nora’s scandalous news, which truly humiliated the Morton family.
“What do you have to say for yourself this time?” Vernon’s elder brother, Brad Morton, always despised him and would rather. sweep him out. Now, he was directly seizing upon this matter.
“| was framed! Unscrupulous media always like to distort the facts. Brad, you really can’t blame me for it!” Vernon defended himself with great reluctance.
“If you didn’t sleep with Nora, would anyone have taken photos of you naked in bed? Would you have been taken away by the police? What dirty business did you and Nora engage in that night? Don’t you know you caused the entire Morton family to lose face?”
Brad became increasingly angry, and in front of all the servants, he slapped. Vernon hard.
“Since you are incapable of handling it, then listen to me. I’ve already contacted the Munoz family. In order to quell this storm, you and Nora need to hold a wedding as soon as possible to shut up those media!” Brad wiped his hand with disdain and looked at Vernon with extreme contempt.
“| have to marry Nora?”
Vernon was visibly shocked. Even when he had initially flirted with Nora to secure his position, he had never thought of marrying her.
“| disagree!”
“Disagree? Can you make up for the financial losses incurred by the company because of you?” Brad’s face darkened, and a storm was brewing.
“Vernon, don’t forget that you are just an illegitimate child. Your position is given to you by the Morton family. How dare you say you disagree!”
Yes, he was just an illegitimate child, with no right to decide his own life!
Vernon, clenched his fists and looked at the disdainful gazes of the whispering servants around him. He wished he could disappear right away.
“I'll handle the wedding arrangements for you. Then invite several mainstream media outlets to report positively. Don’t let anything go wrong again, or you won't be accepted by the Morton family!”
Brad issued an ultimatum directly. He had long since stopped tolerating his useless younger brother. At the same time, Nora also faced a scolding from Clifton.
Seeing the scandalous news about her and Vernon causing a continuous drop in the Munoz Group’s stock, Clifton was so angry that he directly slapped her hard across the face.
“Nora, | promoted you to the general manager of the Munoz Group because you helped me solve the tax evasion issue. But now, you've caused such a huge problem for me!”
“After so many years raised by me, how could you become so stupid? You’re not even comparable to Harriet, that fool!” “Now that things have come to this, you must marry Vernon!”
There was immense public pressure.
If they didn’t get married, there would be no way to resolve it.
“I'll never marry that waste of space!”
Having seen Delbert’s excellence, Nora had long looked down on Vernon from the bottom of her heart. “Are you defying my orders?”
Clifton glared angrily and was about to hit Nora again.
“Clifton, stop hitting her!” Bessie quickly protected Nora and tried to dissuade Clifton.
But she was kicked away by Clifton.
“You spoiled her! You should take responsibility for that!”
Clifton was very disappointed in Nora because she fell short of his expectations. In fact, through all these years, he paid little attention to the daughter of his first wife, Miriam.
