Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 842

At midnight, Cherie was awakened by the constant incoming calls from Whitney.

As she picked up the call, Whitney’s agitated voice pierced through her ears. “Cher! Your Boyle is on the news again!”

Cherie rubbed her eyes and asked, “Did he win another lawsuit again?”

“No! He was framed by his jerk dad and has become a heated discussion on social media! His jerk dad is a shameless, two-faced person!”

Cherie wondered to herself, ‘Jerk dad?’

Cherie then recalled Boyle once told her that his father was a kidnapper who was arrested and sentenced to jail.

“Isn’t his dad in jail now?”

Whitney exclaimed, “He just got released from jail and has made a huge fuss in a short time!”

“I’ll talk to you later. Let me take a look at the news.”

After hanging up the call, she quickly skimmed through the most searched results on the internet and saw a video that went viral.

A middle-aged man was holding a loudspeaker outside the Earnest Law Firm and criticized Boyle for being unfilial toward his parents.

As Cherie was watching the video, she felt that she could recognise Boyle’s father. She seemed to have seen him from somewhere but she could not recall it.

However, she did not deliberate much about it and focused purely on Boyle being slandered by his father.

The video was shared fifty million times and was liked by eleven million users. There were seventy million comments on this video. Under the comments section, those peanut galleries and keyboard warriors who did not know the truth were slandering Boyle.

The comments were unsightly.

Soon, some netizens went as far as to leave harsh comments about Boyle on the official website of Earnest Law Firm, criticizing the company for hiring such an unscrupulous lawyer.

The comments spread like a wildfire and netizens were furious. No one bothered about knowing the truth.

Cherie called Boyle immediately.

The call got through after a while.

“Boyle…” She hesitated for a moment, debating within herself if she should say it out or not.

Boyle responded in a deep voice, “Is there anything?”

Cherie clearly knew that people with great dignity like him scorned to tell people about his troubles to win people’s sympathy.

Since he did not mention it to her, she would not bring it up either.

Cherie shook her head. “Nothing much. It’s just that I sent you a few messages a few days ago but you haven’t replied to me yet.”

Boyle’s impassive tone was the same as usual. “I will be busier nowadays and might not be able to reply to you on time.”

“Okay, it’s alright.” She answered as she held back her tears.

She wanted to tell him not to bother about the malicious comments on the internet as they did not know him well.

Yet, there was only silence between them.

She knew that the Boyle she fell in love with had a strong mentality and did not need anyone to sympathize with him.

The two of them did not say anything over the phone. However, they did not hang up the call either.

Boyle’s deep voice sounded over the phone after a while. “Rie.”

“Yeah? I’m here.”

Boyle hesitated for a moment and uttered, “Happy New Year’s Eve.”

It was New Year's Eve today.

Cherie donned a sweet smile and acted natural and relaxed in front of him. “Boyle, you have to be happy too. Not only during New Year's Eve, but you have to be happy every day from today onwards.”

After a long while, he uttered, “Alright.”

Boyle put on a faint smile.

Cherie could not hold in her emotions anymore and quietly shed tears underneath the blanket. As she sniffed over the phone, Boyle heard it.

“Rie?”

“I’m fine. I just miss you a lot.”

She could imagine how lonely he was to spend New Year’s Eve alone in the capital. Apart from that, he still had to bear the slander about him.

Boyle answered, “I miss you too.”

Before she hung up the call, she comforted him, “Boyle, even if the whole world is against you, I will always be by your side.”

Her words immensely warmed his heart.

However, how could he be willing to let her oppose the whole world?

He should just bear the consequences by himself.

As Boyle was slandered, Cherie was not in the mood to celebrate New Year’s Eve.

Cherie was watching the New Year gala with her family while combating the negative comments on Twitter. She even persuaded Whitney and Huntley to leave positive comments in defending Boyle.

Although their efforts were insignificant, some netizens did stumble upon them and liked their comments.

Heaton was displeased at his daughter for being absent-minded. He furrowed his brows and asked, “Jelly Bean, today is New Year’s Eve. Instead of spending time watching television shows with your grandfather, what are you doing on your phone?”

Old Master Fudd doted on his granddaughter. He hugged Little Jelly Bean and put on an amicable smile on his face. “It’s alright. I’m more than happy to have Little Jelly Bean sitting by my side.”

Cherie was a little guilty of not spending the night with her grandfather. After leaving a comment on Twitter, she kept her phone in her pocket and donned a broad, sweet smile on her face. “Grandpa, I will watch the show with you.”

“Alright.”

At eleven, Old Master Fudd was a little tired and after having supper, he went back to his room to rest.

Sketch comedy was playing on the television but it was not hilarious to Cherie at all.

Feeling bored, Cherie then slipped back into her own room.

Heaton complained, “This little girl has been absent-minded ever since she came back for winter break.”

Verian explained, “It’s probably because of Boyle.”

“What’s with Boyle?” Heaton frowned.

“Boyle and his father are famous on the internet now. I heard that his father reprimanded Boyle for not supporting him financially. As Boyle is a lawyer, this matter went viral on the internet and Boyle was criticized for being unfilial to his parents.”

Heaton’s eyes flickered as he asked, “Where’s Boyle now?”

“He should be in the capital. I heard Jelly Bean mentioning that he didn’t return to North City.”

Heaton deliberated for a while and uttered, “We should find Boyle to talk about it if we want them to cut all ties with each other.”

Verian was startled. “You’re saying that you want Boyle to take the initiative in breaking up with Jelly Bean?”

“Boyle is facing hardship now. Although his father’s wrongdoing has nothing to do with him, they’re blood-related. I’m afraid there will be no end of trouble if Jelly Bean continues to be together with him. Cutting the Gordian knot will be the best way in solving the issue.”

Verian sighed. “But Heaton, do you think it’s appropriate for us to interfere in her relationship and more so, to break off her love relationship behind her back?”

“If the person she’s dating is someone else, I will definitely not interfere in her relationship. However, the man she’s in love with is none other than Hanson Lawson’s son. Riana, her hasty relationship is nothing when it comes to her safety.”

However, what if Jelly Bean was serious in her relationship?
