My Sleeping Beauty Husband by Lyanna Nichols Chapter 142 The Last Resort

The PR manager hired a bunch of online supporters, and the topic instantly captured public attention.

This kind of relationship involving ethics and morality had always been what the public craved, not to

mention that the characters involved were all famous and wealthy.

Netizens swarmed like moths around the light. In the blink of an eye, it shadowed the topic “Alston

Refused to Support His Mother” and became the most discussed trending topic.

The online supporters paid by Clare were overwhelmed. They exhausted all means but still failed to

control public opinion. Instead, the situation worsened. Some trolls used the most offensive and

obscene words to

speculate what was happening between Stella and Clare.

They could only regard the speculation as slander, saying there was no evidence, and they even

threatened to

sue those who spread the rumors.

They did scare away a bunch of trolls, and comments about Stella and Clare quieted down a lot.

Just when Clare’s personnel felt that their efforts paid off and were about to work harder to suppress

these remarks completely, someone suddenly released a video of Stella losing her jewelry in the hotel

before, and

Clare went to help her.

They were close in the video, which was unusual at first glance. Once this video was released, people

revisited the topic of them being immoral.

Especially, Stella was not gaunt and old at that time. When she looked at Clare, she was peevish, like a

girl

crying for attention from her boyfriend.

People joked that Clare was so attractive at such an age that he made a lady leave her son for her with

no

hesitation.

Someone even made an emoji of Stella watching Clare affectionately and posted it everywhere.

The person who released the video was suspected to be from Alston’s side. Later, that man revealed

his

identity as the owner of a well-known technology company.

“I happened to stay in this hotel on a business trip. I saw someone arguing with the hotel staff, so I

recorded

This woman shouldn’t have left her valuables in the hotel. It was her fault that her jewelry got lost, but

she

blamed the hotel nevertheless and wanted it to take full accountability. This man wanted to intimidate

the

hotel staff with his power, and both looked supercilious. The hotel would have to pay her if it didn’t have

connections in high places.”

Alston glanced at the PR manager when he saw the video and asked, “You arranged this?”

The PR manager shook his head, “No, I didn’t. He must be just a passerby. We don’t even have this

video here. It seems we are destined to win this war. I was afraid that I couldn’t produce anything

concrete to prove their intimate relationship, but this video came just in time.”

After hearing this, Alston told Lloyd, “Contact that passerby and involve him in our new project.”

Lloyd nodded and left to perform his duty.

Alston’s eyes blinked. There was no joy on his face. Stella was his mother, and her inappropriate

relationship with his uncle was discussed and ridiculed on the Internet. No matter how many benefits it

brought him, it

was still a disgrace.

Seeing his boss was gloomy, the PR manager didn’t dare to speak and retreated quietly.

Clare was enjoying it when Alston was reprimanded, and products from the Smith Group were

boycotted, but he became less pleased when he found that his relationship with Stella was exposed.

He felt agitated when

he was involved.

The comment under the video of them in the same hotel was incredibly irritating. They have already

been to

a hotel. What else could they do there? They are not fooling anybody.”

“I can understand now why Mr. Smith throws his mother out. Anyone would have done such a thing

when he

finds out his mother is fooling around with his uncle.”

“It suddenly came to me that Mr. Smith’s father died in a car accident. Perhaps his mother and his

uncle

conspired together to make that happen…”

People actually echoed the theory.

Clare was furious when he saw this. He smashed his phone, and with a “slap” sound, it broke into

pieces.

That was how furious he got.

His assistant heard the noise, sighed, took out a new mobile phone from the drawer, knocked on the

office

door, and sent the mobile phone in.

Recently, Clare became bad-tempered, and he always smashed his phone when he got angry. His

assistant bought a lot of mobile phones and put them in the drawer just in case.

To avoid being the target, the assistant tried to sneak out after sending the phone. But she was

suddenly

stopped by Clare when she was about to make it out.

The assistant lowered her head and turned around, “Mr. Smith, what else do you need, please?”

Clare clenched his phone tightly and sneered, “Make some arrangements. I’ll have a press conference

in the

afternoon. You know which reporters to be invited, do you?”

“Yes, Mr. Smith!” The assistant was stunned for a moment, replied quickly, and hurried out.

Clare leaned on the back of his chair, eyes cold. He had to clarify what was on the Internet. Even if

Alston

knew about the relationship between him and Stella, he couldn’t prove anything. He had been cautious

with

Stella all those years.

Nothing concrete could be discovered as long as he and Stella refuse to admit it.

After Clare thought it over, he gave Stella a call.

Stella had already seen the news on the Internet, and she acted like Clare was her savior, “Hey, Clare.

People

guessed our affair. What should I do?”

Get Honin

Q

She couldn’t stand being ruined like Jane and her daughter. She has a reputation to maintain.

“What affair?” Clare retorted.

Stella froze for a moment, “What do you mean?”

Clare narrowed his eyes, “Remember, from now on, you are my sister-in-law, and there is no other

relationship between us. You must stick to it no matter what other people say about us.”

Stella was quite muddled in terms of trivial things, but she knew how to act on important matters. So,

she nodded quickly, “I got it.”

“I’ll send someone to pick you up in the afternoon. There’s a press conference. We’ll talk about what

you can say and what you can’t before the conference. You must stick to the points that Alston refused

to support

you, give you alimony, and kick you out ruthlessly. You should know how to arouse the public anger

towards

Alston to the greatest extent.”

After Clare finished speaking, Stella pursed her lips awkwardly, “Do I have to do this?”

“Why, you want to take Alston’s side?” Clare narrowed his eyes, displeased.

Stella couldn’t see his face, but she could tell Clare was angry and said quickly, “No, I just think that it

may make me look cruel if I do this. I am his mother, after all. People may get a bad impression of me.

Besides,

even if public opinion turns to our side, the Smith Group will still stand solid as ever. It won’t hurt its

foundations.”

After speaking, she asked cautiously, “What do you think?”

Clare sneered. Stella finally became clever this time. However, she needed to put her cleverness to

proper

use.

“I didn’t expect to bring Alston down in one go. You have no idea how many times he betrayed me and

how much I have lost because of him. I can’t put him down this time, but I can at least make him

suffer.”

Stella became silent for a long time.

Eyes deep, Clare sighed, “Since you want to take your son’s side, I won’t force you. I’ll let you live in

that villa, or you can return to Alston. We should just break up. You won’t be implicated even if

something bad happens

to me.”

Stella went soft when she heard his words. Being lost in love, she replied quickly, “I can’t live without

you, Clare. Alston kicked me out, and he renounced me as his mother. There is no way back to him

anymore. I promise I’ll do exactly as you asked. I’ll get ready now. Please send someone to pick me up

later.”

She got up to fish for suitable clothes while speaking. Clare was finally satisfied and warned, “No fancy

clothes or makeup. It would be best if you put on those cheap clothes you got from that mall. And, the

gaunter you are, the more sympathetic people feel about you.”

Stella agreed and sat down again. She wanted to say something more to Clare but found that he had

hung up the phone.

Alston smiled when he learned that Clare was about to hold a press conference.
