Chapter 21 Public Apology

The Wedding Has Been Canceled! Mr. Xander Had Apologized to the Lingard Family Publicly, and Admitted His Failures in Educating His Son!

At ten that morning, Voguish Multimedia’s Nixon Magazine published an article with an eye-catching title. It was regarding the highly anticipated cancelation of the wedding between the Xander family and the Lingard family.

Even on the homepage of the magazine’s official website, there were reports about the interview.

In the article, Quentin bluntly stated that it was Zack who made a mess that led to the cancelation of the wedding between the two. He even shared that in truth, he and his wife were very fond of Michaela. Considering how things turned out, he hoped the incident wouldn’t cause any friction between the two families. In addition, he had offered his most sincere apologies to the Lingard family.

Apart from that, in the interview, Quentin repeatedly emphasized that he hoped the incident wouldn’t cause further speculations and criticisms. He also asked the media outlets to respect the Lingard family’s privacy. He then announced that the Xander family wouldn’t hesitate to pursue legal actions if any parties were to attack or slander the involved parties.

As soon as the article was published, it spread across the internet like wildfire.

Based on the previous reports surrounding the scandal between Zack and Lucille, the public quickly noticed the crux of the problem.

However, if anyone were to make any remarks regarding the Xander family and the Lingard family, the network engine would automatically indicate that an illegal act was being carried out.

At first, Michaela didn’t notice the interview done by Quentin.

When she eventually tabbed into the article, however, she noticed there wasn’t a single negative remark made by the public.

Even after a few attempts to refresh the page, the same result was shown. Right when Michaela tried to search for keywords regarding the wedding, the same illegal act indication appeared.

She tried to search for the keywords several times, but her attempts proved futile. At that moment, she suddenly recalled the words Jonathan said to her previously. How did he manage to get it settled so fast? It hasn’t even been a day!

What surprised Michaela more was the attitude Quentin and his wife had shown regarding the matter. After the article was published, they’d have to bear all the responsibilities in this incident so that the Lingard family would suffer less damage. For an influential figure like him in Quakersville, it means a lot.

Since the matter had seemingly come to an end, Michaela’s mood had been lifted quite a lot. She got changed and headed downstairs. After what happened the night before, the living room looked much more spacious and empty.

Although the butler had already cleaned up the place with the others, one could still see the signs of Jacob’s monstrous tantrum.

At the moment, Hannah was sitting on the couch reading a magazine. When she saw her daughter coming down the stairs, she quickly kept the magazine aside and stood up with a smile. “You’ve come down just in time! We’ll head to the furniture store after our meal. Since we’ve used those for over twenty-odd years, it’s time for a change! You should come along and see if anything else is needed!”

Although Hannah’s expression wasn’t in any way unusual, her reddened and puffy eyes indicated that she had been crying.

Their mother and daughter looked at each other, and neither of them broke the tacit understanding. Evidently, they were both deliberately avoiding talking about Jacob. However, they knew for certain their family would never be the same again.

“Don’t you have to be at work today?” Without revealing her mother’s deliberate cover-up, Michaela glanced at the magazine before heading toward the dining room with Hannah.

“No. I’m not going to work today. It seems like we’ll have a lot of shopping to do. So we’re going to be busy for the next few days.” Hannah tried her best to steer the conversation away from the solemn topic, but it was still obvious she was choosing her words very cautiously. Naturally, Michaela knew she was just doing her duty as a mother.

With her heart aching for her mother, she held Hannah’s arm and smiled faintly. “Mom, you don’t have to —”

“What’s wrong? Are you unwilling to go out with me because I’m old?”

Hearing those words, Michaela instinctively retorted, “Nonsense! Mom, you’re still young, pretty, and—”

Before she could finish her sentence, Hannah smiled smugly and interrupted, “It’s settled, then!”

Before long, the dining table was filled with all of Michaela’s favorite breakfast dishes. Still, Hannah was busy bringing her more food. Indeed, her love for Michaela was evident.

At that moment, Michaela had temporarily forgotten about the disappointment she felt last night. The love her mother had shown her made her feel less lonely after what she had gone through.

At the same time, a fancy Maserati was seen driving into Shappiray Mansion’s front porch.

The young man that got out of the car had fair skin with a faint lip color. He had thick eyebrows and handsome facial features. With a dazzling diamond on his left ear, he looked especially handsome and gave off a rebellious vibe.

With a smile hanging on his face and a rolled-up magazine in his hand, he walked quickly across the front hall to the backyard.

“Jonathan! Where are you?” His voice was deep and husky, and he sounded like he was on cloud nine.

The moment Wayne heard the car stopping on the front porch, he rushed out and greeted, “Mr. Vincent, Mr. Xander is having his breakfast.”

In response, Vincent Sullivan smiled and greeted back, “Good morning, Wayne.”

With that, he strode toward the dining room and saw Jonathan having his breakfast at the dining table while reading the newspaper at the same time.

Jonathan was wearing a linen gown. Apart from his usual elegant and aloof temperament, he looked to be in a rather peaceful state with his languid movements.

Although he heard Vincent, he ignored him. Vincent laughed and teased, “Jonathan, I think you’re aging way too fast! You’re living like a retiree! In fact, you’re acting like my dad!”

“Then perhaps you should address me accordingly.” Jonathan folded the morning newspaper with his fair and slender fingers before putting it aside. He then gazed at Vincent and flashed him a faint smile.

His talk of seniority had struck a chord in Vincent.

As a child who grew up with Jonathan, he had witnessed how cunning Jonathan had become. Hence, Jonathan was definitely more distinguished than him and was indeed his elder.

However, Vincent had never been one to play by the rules.

Not only was he extremely close to Jonathan, but he was also involved in an unorthodox importing and exporting business. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

At first, the Sullivan family thought he was going to fail, but he managed to grow his business until he had a net worth of over a hundred million.

Since he knew Jonathan’s antics with his words, he wasn’t bothered for long. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and tossed the magazine onto the table. “Why are you doing this? How could you burn the bridges before utilizing them? Isn’t that too obvious?”

“It doesn’t look too bad to me.”

The huge title on the cover was very eye-catching. Jonathan flipped through a few pages and smiled slightly before lifting his head. That was when he saw Vincent looking back at him, seemingly amused.

Vincent’s dark eyes were gleaming when he smiled wickedly and said, “You asked me to get someone to expose Zack cheating, only to go through the trouble of cleaning up his mess after that? Why do I have the feeling there’s something else at play here?”
