Chapter 432



.

The rich are usually very picky when it comes to handling things discreetly. Very few would make a big fuss.

Hillary intended to wage a battle of public opinion so that the judge would be more sympathetic to her when they went to trial. You could say she was resorting to very unscrupulous means to win the trial.

However, to think that the reporter had been released? From the looks of it, it was Karl who had done something about it. Joel was quite worried.

The amount of influence Karl had in the United States had somewhat exceeded his expectations.

However, he wasn’t really upset. As Chief Smith, this little problem was nothing to him. He was just a little worried that Tanya might not be able to stand him if she saw the comments.

Joel hung up the phone and walked into the room.

The moment he did, he heard Tanya read aloud private messages that had been sent to her by random people. “This person says third wheels in relationships always end up being miserable! He’s right, a third wheel like Hillary certainly won’t have any happiness left!

“This one says we bullied the little reporter. Tsk, how blind is he, did he not see the reporter forcing a little girl to answer his questions?

“And this one too. He says I have no class because I hit the reporter. He’s right. Compared to someone like her who berates others when she doesn’t even know the truth, I certainly don’t have that much class. But at least I don’t have such a high level of ideological awareness as to interfere in the affairs of others…”

Joel: “…”

I had almost forgotten what kind of family Tanya had grown up in. She had already lived through several such wars a long time ago, so she didn’t care anymore.

Cherry was sitting across from her. “Do you need me to scold them for you, godmother? I’m very good at telling people off.”

“Do you know how to spell what you want to tell them?” asked Pete.

Cherry: “…”

Pete took the opportunity to persuade her. “You should practice your spelling when you have time! There’s a lot of studying to be done, okay?”

At the mention of studying, Cherry pouted and said, “You’re not adorable anymore, Pete!”.

Pete sighed.

The tyrant was strict with him, but he simply spoiled Cherry too much. This resulted in Cherry not knowing how to spell many words, even though she was already five years old. She looked at her Math Olympiad problems that were almost at high school level, and felt that her sister was simply too stupid.

Tanya laughed as she watched the two children argue. “They’re both so…but it’s true that you should really practice your spelling well, Cherry. Mia can already spell over 500 words!”.

Cherry curved her lips in disdain. “If I really wanted to, I could memorize 500 spellings in a minute. But I don’t want to, that’s all! Besides, Dad said I’m a girl, So I don’t have to wear myself out like that!”

Tanya: “…”

She quickly wrapped her arms around Mia and said, “Don’t follow what Cherry’s doing, okay?”

Mia nodded sensibly. “Okay, Mommy!”

Every time she heard Mia call her ‘mommy’, Tanya’s heart melted a little. She smiled and said, “My little baby Mia is so well-behaved~”.

Mia’s cheeks immediately blushed.

Next to her, Cherry stuck her tongue out at her. “You’re calling her a baby when she’s already five years old? Godmother, you’re too sensitive.”

Tanya looked at her. “No matter how old you are, to your mothers, all of you will always be children!”

Cherry cocked her head, but this time she didn’t refute her.

At that moment, Joel walked in and said, “Mia’s a kid too, so she doesn’t need to study so hard.”

Tanya glared at him. “Don’t be a slave to your daughter like Mr. Hunt! Besides, Mia is different from Cherry…”

Cherry was always full of confidence.

Although Nora hadn’t said anything about it before, Tanya had discovered, however, that the girl was very intelligent, and could quickly master anything she learned. As for Mia, perhaps because she had been raised by Hillary, she always lacked confidence. She was always afraid of being disliked by others, or of not performing well enough.

A person like her would only have self-confidence and a better future if she became strong. Every child was different.

Tanya had especially taken psychology classes before joining the kindergarten as a teacher.

Joel, who had taken the classes as well, touched his nose. Then he said, “Don’t watch the news on the Internet anymore.”

Tanya nodded and tossed the phone aside. “They seem very ignorant to me too. I read it just now because I wanted to strengthen Mia’s mental toughness. But why are they so childish, is it really that easy to make them think a certain way?”

Joel replied, “They are just a bunch of trolls on the Internet. Don’t bother with them.”

Tanya nodded again and said with a smile, “There are still people who support me! For example…”

“For example, the popular young singer, Clement Carter?”

Joel suddenly raised his eyebrows as he looked at the trending topics on social media on the phone before shifting his gaze to Tanya.

Tanya was taken aback. “What about Clement?”

Joel handed her the phone. Only then did Tanya realize that the hashtag #ClementCarterSpeaksForTheThirdRoundTanya was trending.

Tanya: “?”

When she clicked on the hashtag, she discovered Clement’s latest tweet was:

Clement Carter: “Don’t just follow the herd. To me, Miss Turner has always been an open and straightforward person. She would never do that kind of thing. I trust her. TanyaDanza.”

Tanya: “…”

Clement was not a pop star. Rather, he was a singer and musical artist. It was said that his voice came from the heavens, and that he could switch between high pitch and low pitch very easily.

Clement enjoyed great international fame.

He had a rich voice and a very wide vocal range. No matter how difficult the song was, he could handle it easily.

At the same time, he was also part of the Carters in New York. The family itself had a strong artistic background and was a true family of artists.

When Tanya saw the verbal abuse he was taking because he had spoken for her, she couldn’t help but ask, “Why is he sticking his head out at a time like this?”

The way she was talking sounded like she was very close to him.

Joel asked sourly, “Are you in pain because he got scolded?”.

Tanya: “…”

He finally noticed the jealous lover in front of him. Tanya let out a laugh and said, “It’s Clement, you know. It’s not like you don’t know him – didn’t we play with each other a lot when we were kids?”

Joel snorted. Tanya said, “When I left the country, he also went abroad to study. We once had an artistic collaboration between industries where he sang and I danced, so we got to know each other better.”

“Tsk.”

Joel couldn’t help but say, “He sings while you dance. That sounds lovely.”

Tanya burst into a loud laugh again. She knew Joel wasn’t really jealous. Rather, he was just teasing her because he was worried that she would be affected by the comments on the Internet.

She pointed to Joel and asked, “Has anyone filled you with jealousy today?” Joel was relieved to see that she was actually okay.

In the evening, the two cuddled Mia.

As they lay on either side of Mia, Joel looked at Tanya and suddenly asked, “Are you nervous about going to court tomorrow?”
