Chapter 23 The Dirt of the White Family
Mia was speechless.
She had always known that her children were clever, but she never expected them to come up with such a scheme.
After a moment of silence, she made a video call to Tom,
Having frantically searched for the missing children all day, the sight of their mischievous faces allowed him to finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Ben and Anna, looking at Mr. River’s weary and haggard face, couldn’t help but feel guilty.
Mia spoke to them sternly, “Because of your sneaking out, Mr. River and the staff at the villa have been looking for you all day. They only just now have been able to rest easy.”
The children hung their heads.
“If you want to be with Mom, you can tell Mr. River, tell Mom, and we will arrange for you to come home. Don’t sneak back without saying a word, making everyone worry about you,” Mia’s tone grew increasingly stern.
Tears welled in Ben and Anna’s round eyes, and in childish
voices, they apologized to Mr. River.
Mr. River hurriedly comforted the children and then ended the call.
Seeing that the children were crying hard, David hurried to smooth things over, “Hey, why did you sneak back all the way to the country just to go to an Internet place?”.
Ben looked at Mia and hesitated to speak.
Anna then said, “Ben said there are lots of bad people online bullying Mom, and we want to defeat them!”
Mia was taken aback, and all sorts of emotions flooded her
heart.
Because of the recent actions of the White family, the online discussion had been buzzing, and if the children had opened their phones…
Choking up, Mia hugged her children and said with a cracked voice, “As long as you’re safe and sound, those bad people can’t hurt Mom at all. You don’t have to worry.”
Ben patted Mia’s back, “Mom, we will protect you.”
After all this commotion, the children were utterly exhausted and fell asleep in the car. Mia and David each carried a child back home.
Looking at her children peacefully sleeping, Mia’s eyes grew
heavy and she called Tom again.
“Has anyone visited the villa in the past few days?”
She knew her children well; they wouldn’t sneak back to the country just because they missed her. Something else must have happened.
Mr. River hesitated for a moment, “Three days ago, your sister came to give the children toys. Since she didn’t stay long, I didn’t tell you…”
Mia’s gaze sharpened instantly.
Linda Clinton?
She pondered for a moment, “Keep the toys Linda sent for the children. I will check them when I get back.”
Looking again at the closed bedroom door, Mia went downstairs deep in thought.
David was sitting in the living room, his face darkened with anger, “I went easy on the White family before, but now they’re getting better and better at playing these games.”
On his phone screen, a video was playing of the White family’s eldest son berating a journalist.
On the surface, he was angry at the reporters for hounding him, but in reality, he was suggesting that Mia’s marriage to Joe was unclean, blaming the White family’s downfall on Mia offending
Joe and leaving.
Wendy even posted on Twitter to clarify that she and Joe were just good friends, and the so-called “mistress” title was
nonsense.
Taking advantage of the heat, they even hired a wave of trolls and actually managed to salvage their reputation.
Mia had originally planned to reveal some things to publicly shame the White family, but because the children had sneaked back to the country, she hadn’t paid attention to public opinion. and had lost the opportunity to counterattack.
“The White family dares to be so blatant because Wendy must have promised them something,” Mia scoffed, fully aware of the White family’s motives, “No matter what, I’m just a common person. What does my feud with the White family amount to? To defeat a snake, you must strike at its heart.”
She narrowed her eyes and posted a tweet.
The tweet’s content was simple, showing Wendy trying on jewelry and clothes in a dressing room. Although she tried on many things, there was nothing particularly explosive.
Originally, because of recent events, many people were
following Mia on Twitter, and when she posted, it sparked much discussion.
[Is Miss White running out of tricks? Posting voyeur videos?]
[Spying on someone changing? If I were Mr. Smith, I wouldn’t want a woman like that!]
Netizens quickly trended a hashtag criticizing Mia.
But at the peak of public opinion, Mia’s next tweet left everyone stunned. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“While my marriage was still in effect, she brazenly entered my home, wore my clothes, donned my jewelry, slept… Miss Swan truly acts as if she’s in her own home.”
The moment this tweet hit the Internet; the whole web was in an
uproar.
The intrigue of the White family was immediately forgotten by netizens. After all, what could be more entertaining than celebrity gossip?
And what was even more unheard of and unseen was a mistress brazenly trying on clothes and jewelry at the wife’s house!
Internet users had never witnessed such a shameless person
before.
Not to mention, just a few hours earlier, this mistress was still playing the victim on Twitter, feigning innocence and protesting her treatment!
At her computer, Wendy was thunderstruck as she watched the video, her vision going black, “How does she have this video? How does she have it?”
In the past, she had indeed taken advantage of Joe’s favor and snuck into their villa to try on jewelry, but she had never expected that there would be video footage!
Penny’s call came through urgently, but Wendy brushed it off with a few casual words before hastily dialing Jack’s number.
They had suppressed such big news before, and they could certainly do it again now!
But to her dismay, there was no answer to Jack’s call!
Gritting her teeth, Wendy tried Joe’s number again, but his phone was also turned off, and she couldn’t find him at all!
In the end, Wendy couldn’t hold back any longer and fainted on the floor.
