?Chapter 1345: Prediction 632_1 Chapter 1345: Prediction 632_1 “I never expected things to get this far.
Let me clarify something, Eliza and I are merely normal friends and nothing like what the rumors suggest.
The notion of ‘literary doppelganger’ is simply preposterous…,”
Charlotte Aria appeared genuinely concerned, as if truly worried for Anton Cook.
Keanu Ledger, with a sarcastic smile, said: “Ms.
Aria, just by doing nothing, you are helping Eliza.
Given your status, you probably should not stay at the hospital.
I’ve discussed this with Mr.
...
Cook, and I’ll take care of Eliza.”
“I appreciate your hard work, Mr.
Ledger.”
The moment Charlotte Aria left the room, Keanu Ledger’s face turned cold.
He quickly made a call.
“Those spreading rumors, take note of their IDs for warning and potential legal action.”
“Mr.Ledger, these IDs are all from the same IP address, they’re being run by a PR company.
Its leader is a seventeen-year-old high school student named Tabitha Parker, who happens to be…
Ms.
Aria’s classmate.”
The PR firm working with Anton Cook’s studio was well-known in the industry.
They had top hackers on staff, making it easy to dig up somebody’s dirt.
“So it is her.” Keanu Ledger had no more doubts, “Involve the promotional accounts, expose her, and wait…,” Keanu paused as if having a thought, “Hold on, let me make a call.”
After hanging up, Keanu dug out a business card from his bag.
It had a name and a string of numbers embossed in gold.
After a moment of hesitation, Keanu punched the number into his phone and swallowed nervously as he waited for the call to go through.
Finally, in the last few seconds, the call connected.
“Hello.” A lazy voice filled with an inexplicable seductive tone made Keanu’s heartbeat skip.
“How can a man sound so effeminate?” Keanu thought to himself.
Keanu cleared his throat, “Hello, Mr.
Brian.
I’m Keanu Ledger, Eliza Williams’ agent.”
“What do you want?”
Distant and indifferent.
“Mr.
Brian, you must be aware of the current internet buzz.
It’s quite unfavorable to Aubree Groove, how does Mr.
Brian plan to handle this?”
“What do you think?”
Keanu choked a bit, irritably responded: “They’ve stepped on your face and you’re asking me what to do?
Isn’t she your boss?”
Realizing his impertinence after the words were out, Keanu gulped.
However, the man on the phone didn’t seem angry, the voice even contained a hint of amusement, “Aubree Groove is a stand-in?
Come on, enlighten me.
Who’s the stand-in?”
“Mr.
Brian, it’s a misunderstanding.
I didn’t leak the information.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t need to bother you.
The relationship between Eliza and Aubree, although unclear to outsiders, I know the truth.
Let me tell you honestly about Ms.
Aria…”
Mr.
Ledger hesitated and then stopped.
His meaning should be clear by now, right?
“You don’t dare to offend the Aria family, so you want me to take the hit.
Mr.
Ledger, you really are calculating.”
Mr.
Ledger chuckled, “How can I compare to Mr.
Brian’s all-knowing ability?
We’re just a small workshop, whereas Brian has a vast empire, there’s no comparison.”
“Wait.”
Half a minute later, Mr.
Ledger received a text message.
The message contained only a web address.
Clicking the link, Mr.
Ledger’s eyes bulged bigger as he read.
“Does Mr.
Brian want me to be the bad guy?”
“And if so?”
Mr.
Ledger looked troubled, “I’m just an employee….”
“If Eliza finds out, what do you think he would do?”
Mr.
Ledger fell silent, “I understand.”
Before he hung up, he suddenly had a thought, “Mr.
Brian, you weren’t just waiting for my call, were you?”
“Mr.
Ledger, don’t overestimate your importance.
I have other things to do, goodbye.”
“Damn cunning old fox.” Mr.
Ledger muttered to himself.
Mr.
Ledger sent the files to a person responsible for this PR matter.
Quickly, the employee called back, tremblingly asking, “Mr.
Ledger, do we really want to post this?
I’m scared….”
“What are you scared of?
Those who dare to use our Eliza as a hype tool must face consequences.”
“But that’s the Aria family…I fear I won’t live to see tomorrow.”
Mr.
Ledger straightened up: “Our Eliza’s family background isn’t weak either, let’s see who’s going to be embarrassed in the end.”
Upon returning to the Aria mansion, Charlotte ran into Matthew Aria who had just finished work.
“Father.”
Matthew Aria seemed in good spirits, eyes full of smiles, tone gentle: “I heard that the Cook boy has woken up.”
“Yes.”
Walking shoulder to shoulder, Matthew put his hands at his back and pondered, “You should take a few days off from school and spend more time taking care of him, after all, the Aria family owes him.”
He glanced at his daughter, a profound look in his eyes, “Consider it as an opportunity.”
Charlotte readily agreed, “I understand, father.”
Matthew’s smile deepened.
At this moment, Corina pushed a wheelchair out of the main hall, Madam Aria, looking radiant sitting in it.
Ever since recognizing Aubree Groove, Madam Aria’s spirits have been lifting every day, seeming to have outstandingly rejuvenated.
“Mother, are you going out?” Matthew asked.
Madam Aria hummed in affirmation.
She gave Corina’s hand a pat and Corina respectfully responded, “Madam Aria has been invited by Master Kurong to the Magead Temple to attend the Spring Festival Qingming Puja.
Sir, don’t worry, I’ll take good care of Madam Aria these three days.”
Matthew looked worried, “Three days?
Mother, can you handle it?”
“Aubree Groove has been looking after my health.
I’ve been feeling much better lately.”
Madam Aria instructed Corina after finishing her sentence, “Let’s go.
If we’re late, we might disturb the puja.”
With that, Corina pushed the wheelchair away.
“Wait.” Matthew stopped the two, “Mother, I worry about you being alone with Corina.
Why don’t we have Charlotte accompany you?
It might be a good learning experience.
If she can impress Master Kurong, it will be an honor for Charlotte.”
Madam Aria knitted her brows instinctively.
Even though she couldn’t see, she could accurately sense Charlotte’s presence.
When she looked in that direction, a somewhat dissatisfied Charlotte was taken aback.
“Charlotte, would you like to go?”
Matthew shot Charlotte a meaningful look.
Charlotte nodded, then remembered that Madam Aria couldn’t see her so she quickly said, “I’d like to go.”
She went over to Corina, took the wheelchair handle and took over.
As the trio disappeared behind the wall, Matthew stood in place, his brows furrowed as he pondered something.
“Why did you send Charlotte to the Magead Temple?
Is it a place for a girl to go?” Out of nowhere, Catherine Liam appeared and grumbled loudly.
Matthew shot her a cold look, “Ignorant fool” and walked away.
It was understandable that the Liams, being of a lower social status, were not aware of the nuances.
Any established family in Lostswa would know the status held by the Magead Temple.
He remembered an old prophecy that had been circulating for a long time.
He hoped that Charlotte could benefit from this trip and secure her marriage into the Cook family.
