Over the next few days, the situation was exactly the same as what Julian predicted.
Someone was tailing him, and all the photos of him sending luxurious gifts had been uploaded to the internet.
Apparently, there was a spy in the Wright family. They didn’t only capture Julian and the gifts, but also Luna’s sweet smile.
Numerous posts were made misleading titles.
“Flagrant Bribery.”
“Can’t The Old Father Wait Until The Son Is Out From The Prison?”
“The facial appearance of the one bribing them is clear. That’s the CEO of Lanyard Corporation, Julian Shaw, isn’t it? Any insights?”
“Hahaha! Laws are made for poor people like us! George is receiving bribes openly. I don’t think he takes the laws seriously!”
“What if he’s a Marshal? He should be arrested! How can the citizens pay for such worms.”
Netizens seemed to be prejudiced with endless curses, and the media couldn’t stop themselves from publishing similar news as well.
George seemed to be a little upset as he surfed the net while reading the posts.
“What are you reading?” Luna drew closer to George curiously and read the posts.
“I don’t think I’m a worm though.” George looked at Luna pitifully. “Although a five-figure salary is quite high, I’ve donated most of it.”
It was as though George was asking for a hug and kiss. Luna found it hilarious but she was also sad for him.
Her husband has spent all his time contributing to the country, it was reasonable for him to feel depressed when the people he cared about were cursing at him.
Luna gently said, “Hey darling, let’s not look at it. They’ll change their mind after a few days. It’s very likely for them to feel more regretful later after cursing so intensely at you.”
“Sigh.” George sighed and remained silent for a while.
Luna was helpless as she knew George wouldn’t get over it.
Then, George raised his head just as Luna was about to comfort him. “Hey dear, can we have dinner earlier tonight? I didn’t have enough during lunch.”
Luna paused for a second.
“George Wright!” Luna yelled and pulled his ear.
She was extremely upset as she was worried about George’s emotional health.
He was telling the truth as he was truly thinking about dinner! George was clueless as he was hit with sudden violence. “What is it, dear!”
“Early dinner? All you wanted was early dinner, huh?!” Luna asked as she continued pulling George’s ear.
Marshal Wright began to scream helplessly. Anna and Serenity shifted their gaze away as usual after taking a glance of them.
Although the Wrights stayed in, the news didn't stop spreading at all.
George’s had a sensitive identity and status. Coupled with a push by hidden hands, the matter went into chaos.
“What rubbish!” George’s superior tossed the newspaper after reading the news. “Get George to see me now!”
The secretary immediately made a call.
Marshal Wright was ordered to drop by his superior’s residence late at night.
“What’s up?” George asked cluelessly as he looked at his superior.
George’s superior interrogated him furiously after seeing how relaxed he seemed. “Didn’t you take a look at the newspaper? What about the public opinions online?”
“I’m surprised that you’re so cautious now. However, I’m sure you’re not the one who came up with this idea, you don’t have such intelligence,” the superior said.
George didn't speak but continued smiling.
Annoyed, the superior added as he took a glimpse of George again, “I think I shouldn’t conceal public opinion. I’ll get someone to publish it again later.”
“That’s a smart move,” George replied immediately.
“Tell me, when are you planning to reveal Susan’s identity?” the superior asked curiously.
“Haha! When the time comes,” George answered.
“Fine, go ahead with your tricks. Give me a heads up before that,” the superior said as he glared at George.
“What? What do you mean?” George was clueless.
He said, “Aren’t we good friends? Don’t you think I should be there at the welcome home party to share your joys? Don’t worry, I’ll get your daughter a nice gift to help restore the reputation of the Wrights.”
Marshal Wright’s eyes were filled with grace as he looked at his superior.
After all, the recognition ceremony was a personal matter. However, with the presence of his superior at the party, it was as though it was a silent public recognition.
In other words, Susie and the Wrights would be under his guard.
Friendship and trust to such an extent were extremely precious.
“Sure, I’ll keep you in the loop.” Marshal Wright promised.
In fact, he didn't have to be so courteous as both of them have been through thick and thin for such a long time.
