Love Her to No End

Chapter 36

Chapter 36 Going To Great Lengths For A Beauty

Stunned, Michaela looked down and saw a large hand with slender fingers on her waist. Her whole body seemed to be burning from the warmth of the hand.

By the time she had regained her balance, the hand had already left her waist.

“Are you hurt?”

She shook her head at the sight of the concerned look on Jonathan’s face.

A refreshing scent hit her nose and in an instant, it seemed as though all worries and restlessness left her.

The reporters couldn’t get a thing out of Michaela, and a man appeared beside her at such a critical moment.

Wanting to carry on with the gossip, one of the reporters asked brazenly, “Ms. Michaela, can you introduce the man beside you? Based on your intimate actions, it seems like there is something going on with the two of you. Were you the one who cheated first when you called off your wedding with Mr. Zack? Or was it really because of Mr. Zack’s mistake?”

When the reporter finished speaking, everyone could clearly see the face of the man beside Michaela darken as an indescribable sense of oppression filled the air.

He shot daggers at the reporter. His eyes were so vicious and sharp that the latter felt as though they could pierce through him anytime.

The latter couldn’t help but shudder at the sight of this. Then, an intimidating voice sounded, “To everyone present today, Caelfall Corporation will be taking legal action on behalf of Ms. Michaela for all the irresponsible words and questions you have raised. Go home and wait for the letter from our attorney.”

As soon as he said that, he led Michaela to the car with her in his arms without a care for the people around him.

Caelfall Corporation?

Is he… Jonathan Xander of the Xander family?

The reporters stood frozen at the thought of the rumors regarding Jonathan. Panic filled their eyes instantly. A moment later, one of them finally snapped back to their senses and quickly deleted all the photos they had taken earlier.

Nonetheless, the fear they were feeling lingered.

The crowd earlier disappeared without a trace almost immediately.

Michaela was still in a daze in the car as if she still hadn’t snapped back from what had happened earlier. Sorrow started to fill her heart.

Jonathan’s heart ached at the sight of this. He couldn’t bring himself to imagine what would have happened if he didn’t make it in time.

He had been rushing to pick up Michaela since he got off the plane. On his way, he received the video from Gary and had been anxious since. Who would have thought that he would see her surrounded by a

group of reporters the moment he stepped out of the car.

Helplessness and confusion were written all over her pale face.

At that moment, Jonathan was so furious that he was even gripped by the urge to kill someone.

Tension filled the inside of the car. Walter didn’t even dare to take in a deep breath. Yet, he wasn’t able to escape his fate of receiving the order from his boss. “Walter, contact the company’s legal team and get everything done as soon as possible.”

He felt a shudder down his spine hearing that. Is he going to such great lengths all for a beauty?

Before he could say anything, he heard Michaela saying, “It’s fine, Mr. Jonathan. They were being used too.”

Everything happened because of Lucille. She wanted to ruin my reputation and make everyone think that I’m someone who has been abusing her.

Even though the reporters were despicable, they were just Lucille’s tools to get at her.

Now that she thought about it, it explained why Lucille had appeared so suddenly and said something so ridiculous. So, she has planned everything out.

Michaela could never match the malicious intentions her sister had.

She was originally worried about Lucille, but the latter had ruined the last bit of yearning she felt. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Jonathan was well aware that Michaela was a smart woman.

He couldn’t bring himself to refuse her when she was staring at him like that. Reaching up to pat her head, he said, “Okay. Whatever you say.”

However, when Michaela turned to look out the window, his gaze turned darker and darker.

In the adult world, one would need to pay for their mistake. Furthermore, they had hurt his girl. There was no way he would let them off the hook just like that.

After experiencing such a thing, the woman was surprisingly calm. She looked so calm that it seemed like the incident had nothing to do with her at all.

Nonetheless, her heart was bleeding.

The person who always treated her as though they were sisters ended up resorting to such cheap tricks, cutting the ties between them without any hesitation.

She would be lying if she said she was not affected by this matter.

Jonathan’s phone rang suddenly, but his attention was all on the woman next to him. He immediately rejected the call. Yet, the person who called didn’t seem to get the hint at all as they called Walter instead.

Taking a glance at the number on the screen, the latter leaned in slightly and said, “Mr. Xander, it’s Mr. Sullivan.”

“Answer it.”

Knowing Vincent’s temper, he knew that the man would continue calling to no end if he rejected the call.

“Mr. Sullivan!”

A few seconds after picking up the call, Walter handed the phone to Jonathan and said, “Mr. Xander, Mr. Sullivan wants to talk to you about something important.”

Taking a glance at Michaela, the latter took the phone and said, “Hello?”

“Jonathan, hurry up and take a look at the trending topics! Our ex-niece-in-law is in trouble! They said that she ruined her image, abused her sister, and was the one who got in between her sister’s relationship. There were even images attached to the article. The article already has a million views now.”

Both Jonathan and Michaela were sitting at the back of the car. Since there wasn’t much distance between them, it was only natural that the woman heard everything Vincent said.

She quickly pulled out her phone and clicked on the article. The first thing she was Lucille holding onto her and crying her eyes out. That photo was followed by another one of Lucille hitting the car after she pulled her hand away from her grasp. Lastly, it was one with Lucille’s forehead covered in blood with a terrified look on her face.

If she didn’t know the truth herself, Michaela would have believed that she was the villain here.

Besides the three photos, the author also wrote mean things about Michaela, saying that she was just a dignified and gentle person on the surface and that she was a person with violent tendencies in reality.

It was written there that not only did she separate Lucille and Zack, but she also constantly abused her sister. The reporter wrote the article as if he had witnessed everything himself.

She clutched onto her phone tightly when suddenly, she received a call from Jacob.

Steadying herself, she answered the call. “Dad!”

“Where are you? Get home right this instant!” The man sounded so indifferent and frosty as he shouted over the phone.

“Dad!”

“Look at what you’ve done, Michaela! Didn’t you promise me that you wouldn’t stop your sister from marrying into the Xander family? What’s up with the article that’s trending now? And you even hit her? Look at what you’ve done now. The Lingard family has turned into a joke! I’m utterly embarrassed. You have disappointed me, Michaela.”
