Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 1571

The three then finished their lunch in silence. After that, Cindy cleared the table, whereas Aurora lay down on the sofa again.

Cindy felt like laughing when she saw Aurora like this. The latter looked particularly dejected right now as she was already past her prime. Cindy had no idea how long she would remain in such a state—she probably wouldn’t get better until this time’s incident was over.

Cindy put the dishes into the dishwasher before coming over to tune the TV to a variety show that she found quite funny. However, Aurora never smiled even when the show ended, whereas Cindy shook with laughter next to her.

Meanwhile, Ian had returned to his room and was sitting at his desk, looking at his cell phone. He heard Cindy laughing outside very distinctly.

Ian wasn’t really in a bad mood, but he wasn’t in a good mood either. However, now that he heard Cindy laughing merrily, he couldn’t help but want to laugh as well. He used to think that Cindy was a steady, composed person. But now, it seemed that she was only a child at heart.

To Ian’s surprise, he got a phone call from Sean in the afternoon. Sean sounded a bit surly on the phone as he more or less told him that the Morgan Family had been brought into trouble due to his scandals online. Some meddlesome reporters had found the Morgan Residence’s address and were blocking its entrance, and the same thing happened to the Morgan Group, where many reporters had been keeping watch outside. Sean had been ambushed twice by the reporters, who annoyed him by firing all kinds of personal questions at him.

Ian retorted flatly, “Do you think I asked for this to happen? I, too, can’t wait for this matter to be over as soon as possible.”

Sean’s voice sounded somewhat cold on the other end of the line. “I’m calling today to remind you that you know what kind of people Simon and Sally are. The news media haven’t spotted them both right now, but they would say anything once the news media finds them.”

Ian knew that, of course. Simon and Sally hated his guts. Now that such a great opportunity had presented itself, they were probably eager to condemn him to hell in front of the news media. Still, even though he knew that, he could do nothing about it. He couldn’t have someone stitch up their mouths, after all.

After a moment’s hesitation, Ian replied, “Just let them be. It’s fine as long as I know what the truth is like.”

Sean let out a snorting laugh. “You’re quite optimistic about this.”

Ian didn’t say a word in reply. Regardless of whether he was optimistic or not, this was the only thing he could do.

Sean fell silent for a few seconds. Then, he asked, “Are you with your mother right now?”

“Yeah, she’s come to me for help,” Ian replied right away without hiding anything.
