Chapter 191 Rumor
Chapter 191 Rumor
“OK. I’ll arrange now.” Jacob nodded. He didn’t dare to delay Logan’s command.
Logan continued, “I also wonder which magazine published this fake news first. When you find it, buy it. Right away.”
“Got it!”
Logan believed Jacob knew how to do, so he didn’t say anymore and hung up the phone immediately. Now he looked so cold.
Elena got up to look for him. Finally, she found him in the study. “Why are you so early? What’s the matter?”
“Yes.” Logan didn’t lie to her and showed her the fake news on the computer. “The affair about Charlie and you was published with photos at midnight.”
“What…” Elena took a look and became furious. “Nonsense!”
The photos were all about Charlie and her looking so intimate. Whoever took the photos was clever to shoot from a good angle. They were also caught in the hotel where they happened to meet. So rumors said the Wilson brothers were even fighting for her.
Elena’s face was turning red in anger, “Why are they doing this? It’s made up! You know, I went to the hotel with you for work!”
And meeting Charlie there was just a coincidence!
Logan shook his head hopelessly, “It’s no use telling them the truth. They don’t need the truth but breaking news. For now, we should calm down and wait. Then I will explain in a press conference.”
Elena nodded, clenching her fists, “Why do people believe the news so easily? Actually, there’s nothing in the photos.”
“Don’t worry. There are some people believing you. It blinds people from what is really going on. It takes them time to find out the truth.” He held her hands, comforting her.
Elena still felt puzzled, “But who did it? To smear Charlie and me? I don’t think I have offended anyone.”
Logan frowned, “I’ve asked Jacob to find it out and we’ll know very soon.”
Elena nodded and went back to the bedroom. And she found that she had received dozens of missed calls. Elena took a look. It happened to be ringing again. Elena handed it to Logan, “Well, it’s Charlie.”
“Let me talk to him.” Logan picked up the phone, “It’s Logan speaking.”
Charlie was surprised at first. Then he started to speak, “Does Elena know anything about the news?”
“Yes. How are you doing?”
“Well, a little tricky. My family won’t help. I have to handle it by myself. So I am going to ask some friends for help.” said Charlie, sounding rather tired. He didn’t have a good sleep last night. He was scolded by the Wilsons for hours. At last, only after he promised that he would perfectly handle this did they let him go. When he returned home, it was nearly the morning.
He used to run a magazine. Logan knew so well he had connections in the circle. So Logan felt relieved.
“Jacob is working on this, too. I will let him contact you. And I will attend a press conference to clear the rumors.”
After hearing his plan, Charlie felt relaxed. “Thank you. Now I feel much better. I thought I had to handle it all by myself.”
And now, with Logan’s help, it wouldn’t take too much time. And the rumors were about to cease.
“I won’t let anything or anyone ruin Elena’s reputation.” Logan said in a cold tone. Charlie could feel his anger through the phone and couldn’t help shivering.
“I understand. I will find out if James has something to do with it.”
Logan said, “He’d better have nothing to do with it; or he will suffer. I will never let your brother and you affect Elena.”
“I promise you. I won’t let him go if he really does it.” Charlie shrugged his shoulders. James was always a pain in the ass to him. So he was so happy to see that Logan would punish him.
Logan heard his promise and then hung up the phone.
Elena looked at Logan with puzzlement, “What did he say?”
“Nothing. He said he would ask some friends to handle it. Don’t worry about it. It’s just a piece of cake.”
Elena was anxious and upset. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Soon after, the Browns also knew it and called them, urging them to go home at once. The call was from Yolanda. Logan knew what they wanted; they wanted to cause trouble while Grandpa George was away. But he didn’t care at all.
Yolanda failed to make them home, so Jacqueline snatched the phone, saying with a malicious voice, “You don’t come back? Fine! George was thinking about changing your mother’s bedroom into a utility room. I agree with George. You know, it’s been so many years…”
Logan was sullen, “Are you threatening me?”
“Oh, no. How can I threaten you? Come on, you are Logan Brown. Why will I threaten you? I’m so afraid that you will kill me!” Jacqueline sneered. But her tone showed that she wasn’t afraid of Logan at all.
Elena could feel his anger, so she agreed to go home. She didn’t want to see him becoming even angrier.
“I think they just want us back to explain about the fake news. They will understand us after we tell them the truth.”
“Understand us?” Logan sneered, “If they believe us, they won’t threaten us to come back!”
How dare Jacqueline threaten him with his mother’s bedroom! The room was like a taboo. No one was allowed in there. It was so important to him. And Jacqueline knew it was his weakness. So she knew how to threaten and manipulate him!
Elena sighed, “It’s okay. Don’t worry too much about it. If they don’t understand us, let it go. But if we don’t go back, they may really damage the room. It’s your mother’s bedroom, right?”
She knew him. He only cared about two women in the world; one was her, and the other was his mother. And Jacqueline was full of jealousy and hatred when she talked about the room. So she guessed this room belonged to his mother.
Logan looked at her with a smile, “Alright! Then we will go back. I wonder what they want from us!”
Elena smiled and hugged him, “OK. Let’s go!”
