Chapter 701 Maggie Hits the Headlines
Fiorello teased the baby and said, "Hmm, we're staying at a hotel. I told you Maggie arranged this. Mom, you don't need to worry about it."
Eleanor wanted to say something but swallowed her words.
However, what Maggie did made Eleanor even more convinced that Maggie was stingy, though she kept it to herself.
As the matriarch of the Flores family, she couldn't even be this accommodating?
This would be a joke if it got out.
And her worries did come true.
The next day, someone posted online, saying that Maggie, as the matriarch of the Flores family, arranged for her sister and father to stay at a hotel.
The post didn't explicitly say who it was, but it was clearly referring to Maggie.
Eleanor saw the trending news and frowned. When she saw Maggie coming downstairs, she called her over and said, "Maggie, have you seen the trending news online?"
"What trending news?" Maggie had gone to see the baby as soon as she woke up and hadn't had a chance to check her phone.
"Take a look." Eleanor handed her phone to Maggie.
Maggie saw the trending news and instantly understood.
Eleanor said, "Maggie, you are now Fiorello's wife, Mrs. Flores. You need to think carefully about everything you do. You can't let people find faults. Don't underestimate any small matter. The more people talk, the more your image in the circle will be fixed. You now represent the face of Visionary Futures Group and Fiorello's reputation."
Now, whenever people talked about Maggie, they would also mention Fiorello.
Her every word and action now represented not just herself but also the reputation of the Flores family.
Maggie didn't argue with Eleanor and said, "Mom, I understand. I'll be more careful in the future."
She didn't badmouth Melissa in front of Eleanor; there was no need for that.
"Good, as long as you understand," Eleanor said. "There will be many more gatherings bigger than this in the future. Anything related to the Flores family will be your responsibility to handle. If you don't know something, I'll teach you."
"Okay, thank you, Mom," Maggie said humbly.
When Arya came downstairs, she happened to see Eleanor reprimanding Maggie. In the past, Eleanor would never say such things. When faced with such issues, she would first defend and support Maggie, but this time, Eleanor reprimanded Maggie first.
Having a new baby in the house was supposed to be a joyous occasion, but now there were more and more problems and conflicts.
Hotel.
Mark also saw the trending news and asked Melissa, "What's going on? Did you post this online?"
"Dad, how could I?" Melissa shook her head. "I just found out too. Maybe someone is jealous of Maggie and trying to stir up trouble. I don't think staying at a hotel is a big deal. We shouldn't be disturbing Maggie at her home anyway. We only stayed because Maggie's mother-in-law insisted."
Melissa really didn't do it; she wouldn't be that foolish.
What good would it do her to play these little tricks?
Mark was a bit skeptical and said with a stern face, "Melissa, it's not easy for Maggie in the Flores family."
"Dad, it really wasn't me. Why would I do that?" Melissa explained. "I wouldn't gain anything from it. I came to congratulate Maggie sincerely."
Mark glanced at Melissa. Ever since he found out that Melissa had poisoned him, he had a grudge against her.
"Let's go back today."
