Love Her to No End

Chapter 44 Jonathan Was Pleased

Astounded by his words, Michaela’s eyes glittered with sparkles as she felt a rush of inexplicit complex emotions.

“Mr. Xander had written the article last night and requested the persons-in-charge to help pull string for him. According to him, it would only stir another wave of turbulence if he opted to suppress the defamatory article and the netizens’ comments. In other words, it would only escalate the situation when everyone’s suspicion was piqued,” Walter explained further.

Ah! No wonder he looks exhausted! It’s all because of me! Michaela could not help feeling bad for Jonathan. The latter sacrificed his time willingly to have dinner with her and ended up having insufficient rest. On top of that, he even had the matter resolved with the method that wore himself out even more.

No words could describe how touched Michaela was by Jonathan. All of a sudden, Walter lowered his voice and uttered ambiguously, “But this is not the gift I meant.”

“Oh my! You’re such a big mouth!” Gary could not help but snap at Walter, hinting at the latter to stop babbling.

As a man of few words, he was a typical man of action. If not for Walter, Michaela might not have the chance to know how much Jonathan had been sacrificing for her.

However, Walter paid no heed to Gary’s warning. He even tried to reassure him by blabbering, “Take it easy. There’s nothing to fear. After all, Ms. Michaela is not an outsider! It’s been a while since Mr. Xander assigned you to protect her. Thus, she is considered our boss in a way!”

Ha! My instinct is proven right! Gary is specially assigned by Mr. Jonathan to protect me! Even though she was not sure when it all started, she had a feeling Jonathan must have assigned Gary to do so, fearing that she would be in deep water at any moment after her wedding with Zack was called off. Nonetheless, if Walter did not mention it, she would never know.

But why is he sacrificing so much for me? Even if he was Grandpa’s student, he doesn’t have to do so too! Undeniably, things were becoming more unfathomable for her the more Jonathan treated her nicely.

Right that instant, Walter flashed Michaela a glance again through the rear-view mirror. Grinning ear to ear, he blabbered, “Ms. Michaela, there’s something I need to tell you. When Mr. Xander came across Mr. Zack and Lucille Lingard’s shameful moments in Sommer Gardens, I’d spotted a pinhole camera in the bedroom. So when Mr. Zack was here to confront you last night, Mr. Xander had handed it to him together with a copy of the report on the fingerprint identification.”

Huh? So Lucille’s the culprit? Does it mean that even if Mr. Jonathan did not discover their affair, there would be other hiccups to my wedding with Zack? Deep down, Michaela was well aware that Jonathan had initially decided to keep it under wrap to save the reputation of both families. If Lucille did not get on his nerves numerous times, he might not hand over such concrete evidence to Zack.
