Chapter 408

The video of Elspeth and her daughter creating chaos at the funeral went viral online in no time!

Whether it was Cassius pulling strings behind the scenes, or due to disgust at Elspeth, the media present at the scene collectively decided to show only Alva standing up against her and Erica’s grandma pouring soup over her, Evadne and Thaddeus were barely on camera, seemingly well–protected.

Initially, the most explosive news was about Evadne being Thaddeus‘ ex–wife.

However, with both President Ashbourne and Thaddeus exerting pressure, no journalist dared to reveal this piece of news, fearing it would spell the end of their career.

Even though online rumors about their hidden marriage were rife, the storm surrounding Elspeth was so big that the rumors barely made any waves.

Netizens made memes of Elspeth drenched in soup, along with all sorts of witty comments and jokes. The Abernathy Group’s PR team couldn’t keep up with the deletion of these posts.

[May Elspeth live long, I need her scandals to keep me entertained!]

[Such a snaky woman, who doesn’t care about common people’s dignity, should spend her remaining years in jail!]

[The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree! Elspeth’s daughters can’t be any better!]

[Elspeth’s eldest daughter is definitely a brat, but her younger daughter has never appeared in public and no negative news about her has ever been reported. She must be a good girl, right?]

[A shrew like Elspeth can only bring up daughters of the same kind!]

Elspeth, it could be said, has completely ruined her reputation!

Glynnis, with her own dark history, was dragged back into the spotlight due to her mother’s antics.

But this was far from enough. What Evadne and Thaddeus wanted was not just their social annihilation, but also their being completely destroyed!

After handling his business affairs and matters related to Thaddeus, Jareth was ready to go home to bid farewell to his beloved wife.

Sitting in his car, he furiously browsed through social media comments, using a fake account to lambaste anyone who dared to slander Marilla.

The proud heir of the Fairhaven family, usually arrogant and unyielding, was now cursing like a fishwife, engaging in an online war of words with the keyboard warriors, all this to defend his delicate wife!

His driver was sweating bullets, his body trembling, except for his hands which were steady due to muscle memory.

“Lily!” Jareth suddenly roared.

The driver turned white with fear, stuttering, “M–Mr. Fairhaven, did you forget? You asked Lily to stay at the villa to take care of Mrs. Fairhaven.”

“Damn, I forgot it.” He rubbed his forehead, exhaling deeply.

Currently, everyone around Jareth had been ordered to refer to Marilla as “Mrs. Fairhaven“.

Actually, he also wanted to transfer half of his shares and all his properties to Marilla’s name.

He had been thinking about this for a while. The reason why he still hadn’t taken any action was because he wanted to wait until the current storm was over, and then officially asked for Marilla’s hand from the Abernathy family.

But before that, he must help Thaddeus and Evadne get rid of Elspeth, not just out of friendship, but also for his own selfish reasons.

Who would want their future mother–in–law to be such a sinister woman? That would be like planting a bomb next to their peaceful life!

Jareth couldn’t wait to get home and called Lily directly, “Lily, monitor the comments online immediately! If any media outlet dares to bad–mouth my wife, catch that journalist and I will personally beat him until his mother can’t even recognize him! If there are any idle keyboard warriors talking nonsense, find them out too. I will sue them until they lose everything!”

“I have already started looking into and deleting negative comments about Mrs. Fairhaven. Like you, I don’t want this chaos to affect her.” Lily had been with him for many years and knew him well.
