The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife

Chapter 91 Fight

Mandy raised her brows but she did not say anything.

She knew about the post, and she knew that it was Madam Jenkins and Charlotte pulling the string behind, but she did not care.

Like other people, she followed the post for a few days, and she was delighted when she saw so many people joining the fray and scolding Susan.

Even though the owner of the post had made it clear that she made everything up, all Mandy cared about right now was Luke. Hence, she did not have much feeling about this.

Putting on an apologetic face, Lynn said, "Actually, Susan is my senior. The story between Susan and Luke was a much-told tale at our school. Luke was single at that time, so there was no third wheel in between them.”

"Oh? In that case, why are you doing this to Susan? What do you want to achieve?" The hostess pressed on.

Lynn hesitated, her expression suddenly pensive as emotion flashed across her face at lightning speed. There was a long silence, yet the hostess did not try to urge her. She waited with an amicable grin plastered across her lips. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

After a long while, as if she finally had made up her mind, she opened her mouth and her voice slowly wafted out, "It’s because somebody asked me to. The reason I came forward right now is that I couldn't answer my conscience."

"Oh? Someone asked you to do this?" The hostess’s eyes gleamed and she pressed on, "Can you give us more details, Miss Lynn?"

Suddenly, Charlotte turned around to look at Madam Jenkins.

What if the woman sold them out?

Madam Jenkins was a little nervous too, but she tried t o make herself as calm as possible. When she saw the apology post, she tried to reach out to the girl, but she could not.

She never expected that the woman would be audacious enough to attend an interview.

What was she trying to do? Was she trying to oppose the Jenkins?

Madam Jenkins’s eyes turned cold.

However, no matter how angry she was, there was nothing she could do right now.

Biting her lips, Lynn then said, "I can't say the person's name. The main reason I came here today is to tell everyone that everything in the post was fake fiction. Besides, I also want to take this opportunity to apologize to Susan once more."

As a hostess, it was her responsibility to expose as many details as possible. The hostess was not going to let go of the chance and made a detailed inquiry. "But Susan is just a normal employee. Who would make such an effort just to hurl mud at her?"

"She and Luke were together before, and maybe someone is jealous of them," Lynn said simply.

However, the moment her words spilled from her lips, she realized that she had said something wrong and she quickly shut her mouth.

"Jealous?" A knowing smile spread across the hostess' face as her eyes lit up. "Someone is jealous of Susan? S o are you implying that the person behind the scenes i s Luke's current wife?"

Mandy frowned.

She realized that hostesses nowadays were getting more and more audacious. She even dared to make an issue between the Jenkins and the Ainsleys.

She would not say anything if she was the one who did it, but this time, she was innocent. She was not the one who asked Lynn to slander Susan.

Just when she thought Lynn would say something in return, she saw the woman hesitate for a moment and then fall silent.

Mandy was stunned. She had not expected something like this. Why would she suddenly be pushed to the forefront?

Truth be told, Madam Jenkins and Charlotte were both surprised at Lynn’s response. They were afraid that she would say their names, and if that happened, i t would affect the Jenkins’ reputation.

Fortunately, the woman did not sell them out.

However, there was one thing they did not understand. Why would she lay the sin on Mandy?

Just when Madam Jenkins sank into her thoughts, Mandy rose to her feet.

Her face was livid with anger as she shouted at Madam Jenkins and Charlotte, "It’s you! It's you two who told her to say that, right?!"

Madam Jenkins frowned, "What are you talking about, Mandy?"

"Don't give me that look, mom," Mandy could not hold i t in anymore, "It’s clear that you guys are the one pulling the strings from behind, so why would she throw mud at me? Do you really think that I'm a pushover?"

"Mandy! Is this how to talk to someone who is older than you?" snarled Madam Jenkins as she smacked her spoon on the table. It seemed that she had been too lenient with Mandy recently. She even dared to shout back at her.

"I’ll only speak respectfully to those who are worthy of my respect, and you, Madam Jenkins, you are not," Mandy said straightforwardly.

She was the only daughter in the Ainsley family, and she was the princess. Mandy had changed a lot since she married Luke, but now she could not hold it back anymore.

She pointed at the television and said angrily, "Has it ever crossed your mind as to how the Ainsleys should face the public once the woman’s words are spread out?"

Madam Jenkins avoided her gaze, "Mandy, about this H

However, Mandy was not going to let her finish her sentence. She continued, "I didn't agree with this from the beginning. Whatever happened between Susan and Luke, it had already passed, so it's meaningless to attack her right now. I just want to live my life quietly and peacefully with Luke, but mom, you keep making a scene out of the things between Luke and Susan. I know what you are trying to do. You want Charlotte to marry Julian, right? I can understand that you adore your daughter and you want the best for her, but have you ever considered Luke and me? Now that everyone in the city knows about the things between Luke and Susan, do you think it is beneficial for both our families?"

Madam Jenkin's expression changed. It was only now that she realized she might have gone overboard this time.

However, this still was not a valid reason for Mandy to shout and wrangle her.

"I don't think you're qualified enough to teach me what I should and shouldn't do," Madam Jenkins said coldly.

Mandy was not afraid of her. She raised her voice once more, "I'm not teaching what you should and shouldn't do, I'm just merely telling you. If you really are that great, then go out now and tell the public that it's you and Charlotte who asked that woman to badmouth Susan."

Madam Jenkins's face turned even grimmer. She always thought that Mandy was a pushover, but she never expected that she would dare to talk to her like this.

"Is this how you talk to someone who is older than you? It seems that your parents didn't teach you manners well. Then, as your mother-in-law, I should knock some sense into you!"

Madam Jenkins raised her hand high as she talked. Mandy did not try to evade it. However, just when Madam Jenkins's hand almost fell on Mandy’s face, somebody grabbed her arm midway.

"That's enough!" Luke glowered.

"Luke..." Madam Jenkins was startled.

Luke emotionlessly said, "Now is not the time to fight. I'll deal with the woman and see if I could minimize the impact."

Then, he glared warningly at Madam Jenkins and Charlotte and added, "This will be the last time I help you clean your mess. If you guys still refuse to change, I will not help you next time."

It was rare for Luke to be this angry. Both Madam Jenkins and Charlotte were stunned.

"Luke,” Mandy looked at him with glossy eyes.

After a slight hesitation, he said, "Come, let's go upstairs."

Delighted, Mandy quickly went forward and grabbed his arm. This time, he did not shake her off.

Madam Jenkins and Charlotte remained sitting on the couch, their faces blank as if they could not comprehend how the situation changed so fast overnight.
