Hart said with annoyance, “I wish he really had an illegitimate daughter, the media these days doesn’t even know how to make things up.”
Digby Hart put down his chopsticks, his face was stern as he called out “Lorcan.”
Lorcan Hart hurried into the room, “Sir.”
In Lorcan’s hand was a tablet, the screen displaying the now viral news of a tech billionaire’s secret daughter.
Clearly, Lorcan had already seen it, his expression was not a pleasant one.
“I don’t want to see the likes of this news anymore,” said Digby.
Lorcan replied with a serious expression, “Rest assured, sir, I’ll handle it immediately.”
Having said that, he hurriedly left the Hart’s place.
The other side had clearly been planning for a long time, aggressively spreading the news over the internet.
By the time Digby saw it, it had already created quite an uproar online.
... 𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝒐𝙢
Clearly, the media was familiar with viral marketing tactics.
As soon as Lorcan left the house, he called the company’s PR team to suppress all of the news online.
Since the Hart family had no intention to acknowledge the relative, the only way to deal with it was to contain the news, remove the articles, and shut the media up.
If necessary, they would resort to force.
A lawyer’s letter alone would be sufficient to silence all media outlets.
Even though these nosy gossip tabloids were immensely interested in Digby’s personal life, they would not risk offending him.
However, people are naturally drawn to the forbidden — the more someone tries to censor something, the more curious they become.
The constant streaming posts on entertainment forums added fuel to people’s interest.
The incident quickly became trending on Twitter, further prompting accusations of a cover-up.
From their experience with the entertainment industry, people have concluded that the more unlikely a rumor seems, the more probable it is to be true.
At a first glance, the news of Digby having a secret daughter seemed fake; but upon further analysis, it seemed very likely to be true.
The public couldn’t help but indulge in endless speculation about the girl’s identity.
Being Digby’s daughter was like a dream come true.
It seemed as if she was being rewarded for saving the galaxy in a past life, a dream many wouldn’t dare to imagine.
What intrigued people more was the identity of the girl’s mother.
Digby had never been involved in any scandals, so the woman who managed to win his heart and bear him a child must be something special.
However, no matter how hard people tried, no one was able to find out the identity of the lucky woman or the daughter.
All they knew was that the person existed, but nobody could figure out who they were.
The family dinner became rather tense after Nana Breezent and Digby had an argument over a small matter.
“Fine, Digby Hart, I must be a fool to care about you.
From now on, if I intervene in your business, I’ll change my surname to yours,” Nana Breezent snapped, picking up her suitcase and storming out.
Infuriated, Mr.
Hart tapped his cane on the ground, “What are you waiting for?
Go after her!” he yelled at Digby.
Digby did not budge.
This infuriated Mr.
Hart even further and he tried to strike him with his walking stick.
Aubree Hart quickly stopped him, “Calm down, sir, don’t let your anger affect your health.”
“That unfilial son…
he’s driving me to my grave!” Mr.
Hart panted heavily, “Why is he so stubborn?”
Aubree Hart looked towards the silent Digby, “No matter what we say, it’s useless.
Let’s let him figure it out for himself.”
After Aubree Hart calmed Mr.
Hart down, she took out her phone and glanced at the trending topics online.
Public opinion was basically under control, but there were still endless rumors.
The label of being a scoundrel, invisible as it was, had already stuck to Digby.
After all, the issue of having an illegitimate daughter ruined Digby’s previous reputation of being a decent man.
The public didn’t care about the underlying truth, they only believed what they saw.
At this time, she received a text message from Snowy Gartia.
It was a link to a forum discussing the scandal about Digby’s secret daughter.
Snowy Gartia: What’s going on???
When did Digby have a secret daughter?
It doesn’t seem fake.
In the forum, someone claimed she’s from Pethkids, 18 years old, used to pretend to be the daughter of a wealthy family, suffered a lot of humiliations and bullying, and now she has turned the tables and became a lady of a billionaire…
Snowy Gartia: Why does it sound so familiar?
Could it really be her?
Snowy was a fast typer, and before Aubree could even finish reading the first message, the next one came in.
The multitude of exclamation marks showed just how shocked she was.
Snowy Gartia: I can’t accept this outcome, on what merit does she…
I believe this news was leaked by her for probing.
She’s definitely going to come after you, you should be more wary.
When Snowy Gartia saw the words “fake heiress”, a certain person came to her mind.
She definitely wouldn’t dare to use Digby Hart for publicity, so it’s very likely that this incident is real.
Who would have thought that a person who had been lying flat in the gutter could have a miraculous comeback?
Aubree Groove replied to her: I understand.
Digby Hart locked himself in the study for an afternoon, staring at the photograph for a very, very long time.
As the sky was about to darken, Aubree Groove saw Digby rush out from the study, returning to his usual calm and composed demeanor.
Digby Hart saw Aubree Groove, paused for a moment, “I need to go to Lostswa.”
Aubree Groove curled up the corners of her lips, she knew, Digby Hart had made his choice.
So-called obsession, was nothing more than a fleeting thought, once realized, it could be let go.
Aubree Groove glanced at the time, “You can still catch up with her if you leave now, brother.”
Digby Hart strode away.
Aubree Groove watched as Digby Hart’s figure came into sight under the setting sun and slowly faded into the distance.
She faintly curled up her lips.
At this moment, Aubree Groove’s mobile phone rang frantically.
It was Madon Linggo calling.
They couldn’t find any information about the identity of the person in the business car, he might not be a citizen of Jimenez.
The car was investigated and the license plate was fake.
Surveillance revealed that it was lost half an hour before the crime, but the owner of the car was a fugitive.
Nothing else was found after apprehending him beyond his own crimes.
He had absolutely no connection to the mysterious man who kidnapped Virginia Frost.
The clues ended there.
However, Madon Linggo was certain that this person must have had inside information in Pethkids, otherwise it couldn’t be such a coincidence.
Furthermore, finding the whereabouts of the cargo ship might involve Percival, and that would take time.
For now, there would be no results.
Madon Linggo asked Aubree Groove to wait patiently.
Now that the news about the disappearance of the cargo ship had faded after the revelation about Digby Hart’s illegitimate daughter, the netizens were always attracted to more gossipy news.
The incident involving Digby Hart’s illegitimate daughter, involving the secrets of the wealthy family, catered to the public’s voyeuristic desire.
It was more interesting than the heavy missing cargo ship case and was more able to arouse the interest of many netizens.
Even if a small portion of people were crusading online, it couldn’t cause any major waves anymore.
Some people even speculated that the news about Digby Hart’s illegitimate daughter was strategically released by the Rintos to divert attention.
The Harts and the Rintos were naturally in an antagonistic position.
The relationship had slightly softened because of Aubree Groove, but generally speaking, businessmen prioritized profits.
The Rintos were a cold-blooded family at their core.
How many favors could they have for the Rintos?
Xenia Groove stared at the photo that Stella White had sent to her mobile phone, her eyes red.
Stella White quickly called her: “Have you seen the photo?
I overestimated Digby Hart.
He never planned to acknowledge you.”
She could almost imagine the person on the other end of the phone grinding her teeth.
Stella White laughed: “Do you know who the woman next to him is?”
“In Lostswa, I remember she was always with Aubree.
It’s only natural.
Given how you’ve maligned her in the past, how could she possibly let you return as the heiress of a wealthy family?
After all, Digby Hart and her have a deep understanding.
You and Aubree, you are always the one being abandoned.
I almost pity you.”
Xenia Groove ground her teeth: “Why is she always against me?”
If Digby Hart had a woman, there would be no chance for Verine Hayes.
She had never hoped for Verine Hayes in the first place, but she would never allow this woman to have anything to do with Aubree.
Xenia Groove took a deep breath: “What exactly should I do to go back?”
“It’s simple.
I heard that Digby Hart is a very filial son.
For the next steps, I shouldn’t need to remind you, right?”
“Oh, by the way, the Artie Group’s annual meeting is next month.
I heard that Mr.
Hart will be attending as well.
You should seize this opportunity.”
Xenia Groove was holding her already disconnected mobile phone, her eyes gradually darkening.
Just then, the door of her hospital room was pushed open, her main doctor walked in and checked her physical condition.
After finishing, he said: “Your physical condition is not bad, get ready.
You can have a kidney transplant surgery next week.”
Xenia Groove was stunned, she said in disbelief: “Doctor, what did you say?”
The doctor pushed up his glasses: “Congratulations, a suitable kidney source has been found.
The kidney transplant should be done as soon as possible.”
Xenia Groove immediately asked: “Doctor, who is donating the kidney to me?”
The doctor’s eyes flickered slightly, he said calmly: “This…
According to the confidentiality policy, I can’t disclose the information of the kidney donor.
Take care of your health these few days.
According to your current situation, the chances of successful surgery are very high.
You are still young, your future is still long.”
The doctor left after explaining a few things, Xenia Groove sat on the hospital bed with a dazed look.
A huge surprise suddenly flashed in her eyes.
Heaven is not deserting her after all!
