Alden was wearing a pair of checkered pajamas, yet the lazy, casual outfit could not hide the
ruthlessness in his eyes.
He pursed his lips and coldly said, âIâve already blocked the surveillance footage, but Sean Gardnerâs
interview has been reposted more than millions of times, so itâs incredibly hard to delete it completely.â
Every time he removed one, a few hundred would pop up at the same time, so he could not remove
them all.
Duke walked over and calmly said, âRemoving the footage isnât the solution for this.â Alden nodded. âIf
Mommy isnât cured, this will keep happening. Daddy, you wonât be able to cover it up one day.â
Duke cast a glance at Alden. It looked like Alden still had not given up on the blood replacement
treatment.
Duke pursed his lips. âLetâs solve this first.â
He sat in front of the desk and made a few calls.
âJake, acquire 20% of Gardner Corporationâs retail shares in three hours. Donât worry about the price.â
âMr. Gardner, you should know why Iâm giving you a call without an explanation.â
âMdm. Xavierâ¦.â
Mdm. Xavier rarely watched the entertainment news in the Xavier familyâs mansion. She only knew that something serious had happened after she received a call from Duke. No wonder Sophia had returned to the Xavier familyâs mansion last night and stayed overnight. It turned out that this incident had occurred.
After Mdm. Xavier hung up, she saw Sophia walk down the stairs with an anxious face. Her expression turned cold.
âCome here.â
âGrandma.â Sophia walked over.
âI still have many things to do. Iâll come and talk to you later.â
âTell me what youâre planning to do.â Mdm. Xavier leaned back in her chair, and an imposing aura filled her blurry eyes.
âWhat happened last night? Explain everything clearly!â
âIâ¦â
Sophia lowered her head and bit her bottom lip. She only saw the news when she woke up and
scrolled through her phone in the morning.
[Sean has been admitted to the hospital with severe injuries, and he has been interviewed by the
reporters. Adinaâs violent personality is once again being discussed by the netizens.]
It had been five hours from midnight until now, and this news had already surpassed the scandals of
popular celebrities because it was ranked number one on the trending list.
âDuke just called me,â Mdm. Xavier said indifferently.
âAddy hit Sean, her cousinâinâlaw because he and his mistress mistreated you. Now that Addy is being
criticized by the netizens, you know what you should do, right?â Sophia pursed her lips.
âI was going to see the reporters in the hospital. Grandma, I would do it even if you didnât ask me.â
She did hate Adina and disliked Adinaâs selfârighteous behavior. She even hated Adina for receiving all
of their grandmaâs love despite the fact that her family name was not Xavier. However, all that was
beside the point
