Flash Marriage: A Wife For A Stranger

Upon hearing it, Jaden looked over at Annie nervously. “Annie, what on earth is going on? How could such a thing appear in our house so suddenly? It’s really a big sign.”

Annie took a deep breath.

“I don’t know what happened either. However, since it appeared in our house, we should gather everyone together and do some investigation.”

Jaden nodded.

“That makes sense. Just do what you suggested.”

Right then, they heard Ciara’s old voice.

“What happened? Why are you all standing here?”

Seeing her, Jaden looked like a drowning man who had seen the last straw to save his life. He trotted over immediately.

“Mom, here you came finally! Come to have a look. I don’t know what’s going on here.”

As he spoke, he led Ciara to the door of the bathroom.

Seeing the blood on the floor, Ciara immediately looked annoyed.

She paced the floor with her walking stick heavily. “Bastard! Who did it?”

Helen explained, “We don’t know yet. Annie found it when using the bathroom in the morning.”

“We didn’t have any guests at home in the past two days. The bathroom was cleaned every day. It has to be someone in this house. Look into the matter! No matter who did it, we must find out the person!”This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

The mansion became chaotic in an instant.

Shortly after, someone found a clue.

The blood on the floor was pig blood. At half past seven this morning, a delivery man sent over a few boxes. He used the bathroom.

Of course, the servant didn’t allow him to use the bathroom that Annie used. However, the bathroom that the delivery man used was pretty close to Annie’s bathroom.

At that time, all the servants were quite busy in the house, so naturally, they didn’t pay any attention to it.

Soon, the delivery man just left. Later, when Annie got up to use the bathroom, she found the blood.

Since the truth was found out, all of them couldn’t help but heave sighs of relief.

Although they didn’t know the motivation and purpose why the other party had done so, as long as it wasn’t done by anyone in the house, they didn’t have to be worried.

Right then, Annie’s phone started ringing.

She pulled it out to take a look at the screen, and it was from Steven.

Steven had known that she was taking a rest recently, so in order not to disturb her, he seldom called her so early.

Hence, Annie was a bit surprised to receive his call.

When the call was connected, she heard Steven say in a panic, “Annie, have you checked the news online yet?”

Annie was taken aback, feeling quite confused, “Not yet. I just got up. What’s wrong?”

“You’d better check the news online. They are all about you. Call me after you’ve read them.”

After that, he hung up the phone.

Annie was a bit confused. She logged on to Twitter and checked her news.

Her expression changed dramatically.

A lot of posts about her family background had appeared online.

Some said her mother was a mistress and she was an illegitimate child. Some even said that they murdered Jaden’s first wife just because she and her mother wanted to get into the rich family.

She checked the very first post about her that day and found it was posted right after midnight. A lot of influential accounts had forwarded this post. Right then, there was an uproar about her online.

There were even some trending topics.

Annie wondered what was going on.

Seeing that her expression was quite abnormal, Helen approached and took a look. When she saw that she was called a murderer, she could not help but tremble violently.

“Those… those are all bullshit! All rumors! I’m going to sue them!”

Neither Jaden nor Ciara knew what happened. They frowned. When they pulled out their phones and read the news, their expressions changed as well.

“Who the hell is behind it? First, the pig blood was poured into our house. Now this kind of post was posted online. Obviously, it targeted Annie and our Gil family!”

Ciara was furious. Jaden sneered.

“Who else could it be? Except for that damned girl, nobody else dared to post such news in public.”

“Do you mean Zoe?”

Helen pretended to be surprised. “I… I don’t think it was she. What’s so good for her if she had made the Gil family doomed?”

“Humph! Haven’t you understood yet? As long as we don’t have a good life, she’ll be delighted. The damned girl! If I had known it, I shouldn’t have kept her more than twenty years ago. Finally, I managed to get rid of that woman. Now, she’s making trouble to me!”

Before Jaden finished his complaint, Ciara glared at him fiercely to make him stop.

He suddenly stopped and shushed.

Ciara said in a solemn tone, “No matter who has done it, we must resolve the current problems. Annie, call your agent as soon as possible. I’ll also ask someone to clarify the rumors for you. Ask the attorney to get prepared. They could send those people the lawyer’s letter later. As for the company, although it’s Gil Group now, a

lot of senior shareholders were still from the original Hawkins Group. So far, we can’t do anything to them yet. I’m afraid the news can’t be suppressed right now. We must convince them and calm them down. That’s all. Go ahead.”

Upon hearing Ciara’s order, none of them spoke. They went to take action.

However, Ciara went back to her room alone.

“Jaden, come with me.”

“Yes, Mother.”

Jaden followed Ciara into her room. Ciara sat on a dark red rocking chair. Rubbing her temples tiredly, she asked, “Have you met that girl recently?”

Jaden knew whom she referred to without asking.

In a hurry, he answered, “No, I haven’t.”

“Did Annie piss her off again?”

“I don’t think so. Annie is preparing for a new project, so she has been reading the scripts all day long. She seldom goes out.”

“Then she still hates us for what we did last time? Because of Randy Kruf?”

Jaden sneered.

“I don’t care if she hates us or not. Anyway, she always treats our family in this way. She never cares about what would happen to us. I regret keeping her back them. Now she has become such a disaster to me.”

Ciara cast him a glance, her pale eyes full of shrewdness.

“You can complain like this to me in private. You can’t mention it again in the presence of Helen and Annie.”

Jaden was startled.

Then he curled his lips in disdain, muttering, “We’re family. Why do I need to hide it?”

Although he was whispering, how could Ciara ignore what he said?

She said solemnly, “Your wife seems to love you a lot, but how can you know what she really thinks. Back then, she could drive the car to hit Kiera to death without any hesitation or a blink. She must be quite ruthless. Nowadays, people always changed their minds. You’d better not tell her everything. As for Annie…”
