Chapter 106 Mr. Taylor's Clarification
"Guess what? He just moved into the villa next door. Maybe your idea isn't so crazy after all," Elsa said, clearly trying to get under Luke's skin. Sure enough, Luke's face darkened.
"I'm done," Elsa said, barely touching her food, and stood up to leave.
"Let's go," Luke said, his appetite lost too. He grabbed Elsa's hand as he stood.
This time, Elsa didn't argue and got into Luke's car, staring straight ahead the whole ride, completely ignoring him. Luke tried to start a conversation a few times but ended up staying silent.
After riling Luke up all morning, Elsa finally felt a bit better.
As they walked into the office, the girl who had defended Elsa yesterday approached her.
"Elsa, Mr. Taylor is such a responsible husband. He really showed the world how he cherishes his wife!"
Elsa thought she was talking about Luke firing Ava yesterday, so she just smiled kindly without saying much.
"Yeah, his crisis management skills are top-notch. No wonder he's the youngest billionaire," another girl passing by added.
What were they talking about? Elsa was about to ask when her phone buzzed with Facebook notifications. Chloe had sent her several Instagram links.
As it turned out, Luke had created an Instagram account last night and got it verified.
[Hey everyone, I'm Luke Taylor. Because the news affected my family's harmony, I joined Instagram to clear a few things up.] Luke wrote.
[I am married, and my wife and I are very much in love. Here’s our marriage certificate.] The picture of the marriage certificate was directly downloaded from Elsa's Facebook, with a corner showing her pink manicure.
[The situation is different from what the malicious media reported. Ms. Collins was intoxicated and suicidal last night, and she mentioned me. I went out late at night to rescue Ms. Collins purely out of humanitarian concern, not because of any rekindled romance. Here are the police and fire department records as proof.]
The police report clearly stated 'a woman attempting suicide,' with a picture of Margaret wandering on the rooftop.
[Afterward, Ms. Collins was suffering from alcohol poisoning and was mentally unstable. She refused to be carried by anyone else, so I had to carry her to the hospital.]
The accompanying pictures were Margaret's diagnosis report and photos of her undergoing gastric lavage.
[The situation was urgent. It didn't matter if it was my childhood friend Ms. Collins or a stranger, I couldn't just stand by and do nothing. However, the media's photos were taken out of context, and the so-called 'public kiss' with Ms. Collins is completely fabricated. We will pursue legal action against the following media outlets.]
Luke specifically called out the entertainment media that had sensationalized the story, [Legal notices have been sent. My legal team will be getting in contact with these companies promptly.]
[I admit that I had feelings for Ms. Collins in the past, and those are very fond memories from my youth. However, as time passed, I only have friendship and well wishes for Ms. Collins, without any ambiguity.]
[Additionally, my wife is a bit of a tsundere. She was so angry yesterday that she wouldn't let me into the bedroom. For the sake of my family's harmony, please be cautious in your comments.]
Luke even added a helpless emoji at the end.
The statement was smooth and coherent, without any attempts to cover up or play the victim. It was logical and well-supported. The last part even showed his willingness to share personal moments with the public, making it very convincing.
That helpless emoji might have made people who didn't know Luke think he was very approachable, but in reality, he was usually as cold as ice.
Elsa looked at the clarification and couldn't help but pout. He had never said these things to her in person, yet he posted them on Instagram with such an innocent tone!
Whether it was due to the power of money or not, netizens were very accepting of Luke's clarification.
The most liked comment was: [What's in the past is in the past. The person you liked at 18 is different from the person you like in your twenties. Everyone has their own life, and it's not appropriate to interfere with others.]
The second most liked comment was: [The way Luke Taylor talks about his wife is so sweet.]
Some sharp-eyed netizens even noticed something on the marriage certificate: [Is this Elsa Miller the same one from the Dalton Banks Designer Competition? I thought she and Mr. Jones were a couple. The circles of wealthy people are so small.]
Elsa didn't fully believe Luke's words, but since they weren't planning to divorce, Luke's statement provided a way for both of them to step down from the awkward situation. If she didn't take the opportunity to cease fire, continuing to be at odds would be pointless.
The affairs of the wealthy were too complicated, and the position of Mrs. Taylor in the Taylor family didn't suit her. Elsa became even more determined to quickly resolve the issues with the Miller family and get a divorce to live her simple life.
