Chapter 623 Your Mom Goes to the Nightclub as a Translator
But this time, the rumors were way worse than Brady had expected. Even though he had arranged for all the news about Violet's mom to be scrubbed from the internet, the gossip still spread like wildfire.
There were also these small gossip websites that kept popping up like mushrooms after the rain, no matter how many times they were deleted or taken down.
Wherever Violet went, people recognized her and started whispering.
And then there was Matilda. This whole situation was too shocking, especially for these high-society families. Once a granddaughter-in-law was linked to a prostitute, all the friends and relatives in their circle would come to inquire.
Matilda had been pestered by family members non-stop.
Everyone was advising her not to accept Violet, saying her reputation was bad.
Even if Violet came from an ordinary family, it would be fine, but how could she be the daughter of a nightclub hostess?
It was too disgraceful to even mention.
Matilda couldn't bear to let go of Violet, especially since she already had three children!
So she kept explaining to these friends and relatives, "No, it's all fake news online. Our Violet comes from a clean background, not what you think!"
But the friends and relatives wouldn't easily believe her and kept urging her to give up on Violet.
Matilda, fed up with the constant nagging, took her son Michael to a church in the mountains to get some peace and quiet for a few days.
With Matilda and Michael at the church, Violet was mentally exhausted. No one wanted to be labeled as the daughter of a nightclub hostess. It was an insult to her mother and a huge insult to Brady as well.
So, under this mental strain, she didn't want to bother Brady. She knew he avoided mentioning it in front of her to spare her feelings.
She didn't want to bring it up either. She couldn't rely on him to solve every problem, so she first talked to Hellen about her mom.
Hellen hadn't been online much and naturally didn't know what was happening recently. When Violet asked her about her mom, she was puzzled and said, "Why are you suddenly asking about your mom?"
Violet didn't want to hide anything from her and told her everything that had happened recently. Hellen was first shocked, then fell silent.
This part of the past, Hellen had originally planned to keep to herself.
She wanted to take it to her grave, but who knew it would still be spread by someone with an agenda.
Seeing Hellen's silence, Violet quickly asked, "Hellen, is it true? Did my mom really work at a nightclub?"
Hellen hurriedly interrupted her, "Of course not. Your mom wasn't that kind of person."
"Then what happened?" Violet really wanted to know the truth.
Hellen sighed and said, "Your mom was a top student, always first in her grade. She later got into Elysiuma Law School, and her future looked bright. The school even offered her a scholarship to study abroad."
"Everything was going well, but your mom had a high school classmate who owned a nightclub. They had an important guest recently, who brought some foreigners along, and they needed a girl fluent in their language to chat with them. That classmate immediately thought of your mom and offered her $500 an hour. Can you imagine how much that was worth 20 years ago?"
"And your mom went to the nightclub as a translator, nothing else. That was the promise from her classmate."
"Your grandpa was worried about her safety, so he always accompanied her, making it quite safe." Hellen reminisced with a sigh, lamenting her sister's ill-fated life. "But despite all precautions, who knew that shortly after starting as a translator, your mom got pregnant. I asked her who the father was, but she wouldn't say. And by then, that group of people was about to leave the country, so your mom didn't need to go to the nightclub anymore. Later, she was married into the Devereux family."
"We all knew it was Gerry who took advantage of your mom." Hellen's voice was filled with disgust at the mention of Gerry.
If it hadn't been for him getting Evelyn pregnant, she wouldn't have dropped out of school and gotten married.
She wouldn't have given up such a promising future.
In the end, marrying into the Devereux family only led to her own suffering.
