Chapter 369 Uncovering My Wifeâs Secrets âShould we go to visit your mom later?â Michelle asked. âOf course, we have to go.â Jared snorted and said sarcastically, âShe can be heartless, but we canât be uncaring.â âAlright, Iâll ask Adam and Mia to go with me now,â Michelle immediately said. âWhy the rush?â Jared reprimanded her again. âYouâre not young, but youâre so reckless. You have no plan and you always act without considering the outcome.
Do you have any idea how to deal with Preston?â âJared, when should we go then?â Michelle asked sheepishly. âYouâd better not go. Itâs not a good idea because of your status.
Even after so many years, the netizens will still see you as the mistress.â âWhoâs the mistress? I knew you first and fell in love with you before Selena. Besides, the mistress is the one who isnât loved in a relationship. Selena is the mistressâ¦â Michelle felt aggrieved when talking about the old days. If it werenât for the fact that she came from a poor family, and couldnât compare to Selena who was the daughter of the cruise tycoon, she wouldnât have had to sneak around with Jared back then Jared interrupted her, âAlright, letâs not talk about the past. The matter at hand is more urgent. âIâll call the media first. You ask Mia and Adam to come back. Weâll bring some flowers and Momâs favorite food and go to the hospital together. âWhen the media interview us, I will continue to pin the blame on Preston. You ask Mia to cry and tell the reporters that all we want is to see my mom and make sure that she is still aliveâ¦â âAlright, I got it.â Michelle was overjoyed when she heard that they are going to deal with Preston. She immediately walked over to the window and called Adam and Mia. The call to Adam Blake was relatively short. Michelle just asked him to come back at once as he would need to go to the hospital to see his grandmother with his father. Michelleâs conversation with Mia was rather long.
She was beaming with joy while telling her daughter how to put on a good show in front of the reporters and make everyone sympathize with her⦠An hour later. Jared rushed to Metropolis Hospital with Adam and Mia.
As soon as they got there, a few reporters rushed over at perfect timing, âHi, Mr. Blake. You are here toâ¦â âIâm here to see my mom. Please donât disturb us. Thank you.â Jaredâs expression was solemn, looking very worried about his mother. âMr. Blake, may I ask if your mother was really poisoned by your son like what is spread on the Internet?â a reporter asked. Jared said, âMy son didnât mean it. There must be a misunderstanding. It is true that he has become radical and violent after regaining his memory, but I believe that he wonât do anything to harm his grandmother.â He sounded as if he was defending Preston, but actually, he was implying that his son took things to the extreme and was abnormal. âBoohoo⦠Boohooâ¦â Mia started crying by the side. âMs. Blake, whatâs wrong? Why are you crying?â The reporter seemed to have just seen Mia.
He immediately handed the microphone to her and asked. Miaâs shoulders twitched with the flowers in her hands. Devastated, she said while sobbing, âPreston doesnât allow us to visit Grandma. Actually, we just want to make sure that she is okay. We canât put our mind at rest until we see her.â âMia, donât spout nonsense!â Jared reproached her daughter, looking as if he was stopping her from airing their dirty laundry in public. The reporter seemed to have discovered a major scandal, so he kept probing, âMs. Blake, do you have a bad relationship with Mr. Preston? Is he really as evil as the Internet says?
And he poisoned his own grandmother?â Mia looked like a frightened little girl. She held the flowers tightly and trembled. Looking at Jared timidly, she shook her head and said, âI donât know. I donât know anything.â Jared said with a serious face, âGuys, please donât report our family matters.
Give us some dignity. We have something now. Please stop interviewing us. Thank you.â Jared stopped the reporters and walked toward his motherâs ward with Mia and Adam. Mia was holding the flowers, Adam Blake was carrying a thermal container, and Jared had the old ladyâs coat in his hand. At first glance, they seemed so caring and attentive. The reporters followed the all the way to the ward like flies attracted to rotting meat. On the fifteenth floor. Qutside the old ladyâs ward. Jared knocked on the door. When Preston opened the door, he immediately stopped his father from coming in.
He stared at Jared and asked bluntly, âWhat are you doing here?â When the reporters saw Prestonâs reaction, they quickly took photos of them with excitement. To them, that was big news! Everybody was condemning Preston now and he had become the talk of the town. Even online celebrities with a huge fan base couldnât attract as much attention and interest as he did. âCanât I come and see my mother?â
Jared was furious. âNo, you canât! You may do something to Grandma again.â Preston didnât care that the reporters were taking photos of him. His hacker friend had targeted Owenâs girlfriend through his Whatsapp and discovered his girlfriend had been showing off luxury items on Instagram for two consecutive days. Her old Instagram posts were relatively artistic, with photos of her reading books in the library, watching movies, and enjoying food or scenery. However, the content changed drastically in the past two days. She had shown off luxury items three times a day, and none of them were repeated Chanel limited edition bag, Hermes watch, Cartier braceletâ¦
Each cost more than 20 thousand dollars. After checking the family background of Owenâs girlfriend, they were completely sure that they had gotten a huge sum of money from an unknown source.
Prestonâs friend immediately hacked into the bank account of Owenâs girlfriend. As expected, she had received 400 thousand dollars three days ago. The money was deposited at a bank counter. Prestonâs friend hacked into the security system to retrieve the surveillance footage. It was Jaredâs assistant who made the deposit. Meanwhile, Captain Leigh had brought his men to arrest them. But Jared was still putting on a show in the hospitat, having no clue that Preston was no longer as defenseless as he used to be. Jared continued acting. âPreston, what exactly do you want? Your grandmother was poisoned.
Do you really want her dead?â âThe person who wants to kill her knows better,â Preston said coldly.
Seeing that the father and son were arguing, the reporters became more excited, filming them from different angles with excessive enthusiasm. Mia continued crying.
âBoohoo, Preston, donât do this. Let me see Grandma. Iâll just want to take a look. Iâll leave after making sure that she is fine.â Lianne couldnât stand it anymore. âThis family is getting more and more overboard. How could they bully Preston and me like this? âAre we not the old geezerâs children?â Her heart sank at the thought of it. LÃan then said coldly, âYou canât falsify truth nor verify lies. God is watching!â
