Chapter 24 Where Are You?
Upon receiving the message, Joe found out about it late at night.
“Mr. Smith, Miss Swan has been hospitalized,” Jack said, looking at Joe with difficulty, seemingly struggling to find the right words.
Joe gave him a glance and said coolly, “It seems I need to send you to the Antarctica to learn how to speak properly.”
Jack, startled, quickly blurted out, “Miss White posted a video online of Miss Swan trying on her clothes at the villa, and now people are attacking Miss Swan online… She fainted from anger.”
As he spoke, he showed Joe the offensive comments about Wendy on Twitter. They were indeed unpleasant to see.
Joe’s demeanor suddenly grew frozen.
He had previously taken action to remove the trending topic, thinking that the matter had ended. Who would have known that Mia would still not let go?
What was she trying to do?
Joe rubbed his tired brow, and before he could speak, his phone
rang.
“Joc…” Wendy’s delicate voice came through the receiver, laced with tears. “Mia’s gone too far! She even released videos of me trying on clothes and jewelry! Now my reputation is completely ruined! Many brands are asking to terminate our contracts!”
She never thought that, despite all her efforts to involve the White family, this would be the result.
The White family really was useless!
Wendy’s eyes were filled with malice, but her voice became even more pitiful.
Thinking about Mia’s attitude toward her that day, Joe frowned, “I will handle this matter. You rest in the hospital and take care of yourself. Don’t provoke her anymore.”
Wendy’s face showed surprise, finding Joe’s attitude a bit too indifferent.
“I understand. The baby and I will be good, and won’t cause any trouble for Daddy,” she replied softly.
Joe responded tersely and hung up.
Wendy gritted her teeth as she stared at her darkened phone, then arrogantly instructed Penny, “Joe said he would handle this. If those brands want to terminate the contract, let them weigh the capabilities of the Smith Group.”
Penny breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, “I’ll negotiate with them right away.”
After Penny left, Wendy twisted her face in anger and smashed a vase on the ground. She then dialed a number.
Meanwhile, Mia was unaware of Wendy’s venom. Half-asleep, she was covered in drool by her two children, and the three were laughing and playing together. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
“Mommy, we’ve been waiting for you for a long time!” said
Anna.
Anna had only been frightened for half a day yesterday, but today, he had regained his usual mischievousness and looked at
Mia with a smile.
Mia tapped her little nose, “Who was it that wanted to sleep with Mommy last night, keeping me up?”
Her daughter looked around guiltily, avoiding Mia’s eyes.
Behind her, her son looked at Mia with a serious expression as though pondering a major problem.
Noticing his troubled look, Mia affectionately touched his head, “What’s wrong?”
“I saw people online saying bad things about Mommy. Is someone bullying you?” he asked, looking gravely at Mia.
Ben looked at Mia very seriously.
Mia was stunned.

His eyes were slightly red, his back straight. Even though he was small, he wanted to protect his mother.
A soft emotion welled up in Mia’s heart. She suppressed the tightness in her throat and said gently, “There are many people online who accuse others without knowing the truth. Their words can’t hurt me, and I won’t take them to heart.”
Though her son didn’t fully understand her words, seeing that she seemed unhurt by the comments, he sighed with relief.
He nodded, “I’m a big boy. I can protect Mommy.’
Mia’s smile grew even softer, “I believe you can.”
Their tender moment was interrupted by a ringing phone.
Seeing the caller ID, Mia frowned and touched her son’s head as she walked to the window, “Hello?”
It had been a long time since their last call. Hearing Mia’s voice, Joe’s eyes flickered, “Where are you?”
