Chapter 70
She always handled her affairs, and he would only ignore her more and even assume that she would silently follow him.
Gianna stayed silent for a few seconds and looked at Felix. "Mr. Clinton, I know that this matter has also affected you, and I apologize. I promise you that I will handle this matter as soon as possible."
Felix's anger surged inside him as he coldly said, "Is that what I meant?" He only wanted to help her, but in her eyes, she understood it as him being afraid of his own reputation.
"No matter what, I will handle this as soon as possible. I've finished eating, so I'll go to work first," Gianna said as she disappeared from the Villa's entrance.
After Gianna left, Felix angrily threw the breakfast on the table to the ground, his expression terrifyingly dark. The maid trembled in fear and didn't dare approach to clean up. If it wasn't for the high salary, she would have resigned long ago.
On the other side, the Redstone family. Lauren returned home, where Julian and Bella were already waiting for her. Julian didn't attend the press conference this time, as he wanted to prevent Gianna from becoming truly important to Felix. If Felix troubled the Redstone family because of Gianna, Julian could claim ignorance. He didn't believe that Felix would trouble Lauren.
As soon as Bella saw Lauren, she immediately approached with a concerned expression and said, "Mom, you've worked so hard!"
Lauren shook her head and replied, "All of this is for the Redstone family." As for Gianna, she had long excluded her from this household.
"You didn't rest well last night. You should go and rest now. Gianna will definitely withdraw the lawsuit," Bella said.
Lauren looked disgusted when Gianna was mentioned. "Let her be. If she doesn't withdraw the lawsuit, we'll think of another way."
"Gianna will definitely understand your intentions!"
Lauren furrowed her brows and said, "Belle, I'll go rest first."
"All right."
After Lauren left, a smile appeared on Bella's lips. Gianna's identity as Felix's mistress would soon be confirmed. After all, even Lauren had personally intervened. Even if Gianna didn't admit it, this title would follow her for the rest of her life. Bella didn't originally plan to handle it this way, but who made Gianna always occupy Felix's attention?
As soon as Gianna arrived at the MY FASHION building, she saw a group of reporters gathered downstairs. Her gaze turned cold, and she went straight to the underground parking lot, taking the elevator from there. Upon reaching the top floor, Faith followed her into the office.
"What are you planning to do about this morning's incident?" Faith asked.
Gianna remained silent for a few seconds before speaking up, "I will handle this matter today. You can go to work."
"Do you need my help?"
Surprised by the question, Gianna looked up at her and asked, "What help can you provide?"
"I can cheer you on!"
Gianna fell silent.
"You go to work. This matter won't affect me."
Faith stared at her for a few seconds, making sure her face showed no sadness or grief before she turned and left.
After the office quieted down, Gianna sent a message to the person with the all-black profile picture on Facebook.
[Can you do me a favor?]
At one o'clock in the afternoon, an account on Twitter suddenly posted a message.
[Miss Redstone has entrusted me to release the complete version of this recording, including the previous conversation records between Miss Redstone and Lauren. It is believed that netizens will judge.]
Below were two audio recordings.
After listening to the two recordings, there were doubts about Lauren's voice.
[I never thought Lauren had two faces. She seemed so upset at the press conference, but privately, her attitude toward her daughter was like this!]
[I won't take sides. Let the incident continue to escalate!]
[While Lauren's attitude toward Gianna was poor, does that mean Gianna was blameless? Her attitude toward Lauren was not much better!]
[Does no one mention Julian? He made Gianna apologize to avoid affecting the Redstone Group. This action is also disgusting!]
People on Twitter kept arguing.
Lauren woke up, thinking that Gianna would come to apologize to her, but she never expected to be criticized by Twitter users.
She was so angry that she wanted to throw her phone. After Gianna donated bone marrow, she should have sent her away instead of keeping her in the Redstone family!
The Redstone Group's share price continued to plummet, as if someone were manipulating it. During the meeting, Julian was also ridiculed by the shareholders.
He was already unhappy, and now he was even angrier. He immediately called Lauren.
"You useless piece of junk! Resolve the Twitter issue immediately, or I won't let you off the hook!"
Lauren usually only went shopping and played cards. She had no idea how to handle this situation, so she could only turn to Bella.
"Belle, what should I do? Didn't you say that Gianna would withdraw the lawsuit as long as we held a press conference? How did it turn out like this?!"
Bella quickly tried to comfort her. "Mom, don't panic for now. Gianna did do something wrong. How could she post our private matters on Twitter for others to comment on?"
Lauren sneered and gritted her teeth. "She just can't stand to see us doing well. She thinks I favor you and wants to retaliate!"
After a moment of silence, Bella seemed to have decided.
"Mom, I'll go talk to Felix. As long as he intervenes, this matter will definitely be resolved!"
"Yes, go find Felix! He likes you so much. He will definitely listen to you!"
Bella went directly to Sirius Trading Syndicate, and the moment she saw Felix, tears immediately welled up in her eyes.
"Felix, you must help me this time!"
Felix frowned and spoke with indifference, "If you came for Twitter's business, go back. I won't help you."
She never expected him to be so heartless, and tears fell from Bella's eyes.
"Felix, I don't know who else to turn to. And you don't want to see Gianna completely broken away from the Redstone family, do you?"
"Lauren said she wanted to cut ties with you. You should go persuade Lauren instead of coming to me."
Bella's face stiffened, and her hand by her side involuntarily clenched.
"Felix, it was indeed a mistake on my mom's part, and the impact of this matter has already escalated, affecting the stock prices of both the Redstone Group and Sirius Trading Syndicate. If you don't go persuade Gianna, it will cause even greater losses!"
Felix remained silent for a while before coldly saying, "Bella, don't treat others like fools. Can Lauren really do such a thing?"
Bella involuntarily took a step back, looking at him in shock. "Felix, are you doubting me?"
