Elder Kinston's Exclusive Sweet Wife-Chapter 690 - 719: Pick Her Up After Work
Slap!
A crisp slap resounded in the office, shocking everyone. No one had expected that Mabel Quinn would actually make a move.
Indigo Quigley held her cheek, looking incredulous. "You... you actually dared to hit me?" she said.
"Yes, I hit you. You can choose to call the police. And of course, I can also call the police and accuse you of defamation," Mabel Quinn said coldly. "The Quinn Family has already initiated legal proceedings to sue the journalist who wrote that unethical article, as well as the newspaper. As for you, do you also want to stand on the defendant’s stand with that journalist and the newspaper owner?"
Indigo Quigley’s face turned pale, and she glared at Mabel Quinn through gritted teeth but dared not utter another word.
Mabel Quinn turned around and sat back at her desk, while Alice Conley leaned over to Mabel Quinn and said, "You were really fierce just now."
"I was too angry." Otherwise, she wouldn’t have acted so directly. "I don’t want my relationship with Uncle Edward to be slandered with such words."
"I understand," Alice replied. Her friend cherished her family ties even more due to not having many relatives. Even though there was no blood relation with the Quinn Family, perhaps in her friend’s heart, Edward Quinn had already become her only relative, a genuinely good one.
By the morning, the news online disappeared at an accelerated pace, much faster than before. Mabel Quinn even saw online discussions about whether, besides the Quinn Family, someone else was helping suppress the news.
By the afternoon, it was almost impossible to find traces of the news online, and even many comments from netizens had vanished, as if the news had never existed.
Even Alice Conley was surprised by the efficiency, exclaiming, "Could it be that not just the Quinn Family made a move, but also someone else? Maybe Daniel Harris and possibly..."
Alice’s voice trailed off, but Mabel Quinn could somewhat guess whom her friend was referring to without saying it.
Could it be possible? He didn’t even want to see her, so would he really get involved? Mabel Quinn shook her head, telling herself not to overthink it and to focus on work instead.
When leaving work in the afternoon, Mabel Quinn unexpectedly saw Edward Quinn at the Corporation.
"Uncle?" she asked in surprise.
"Where do you live? I’ll give you a ride back," Edward Quinn said.
"No need, I live very close, it’s just a short walk," she quickly replied.
"Alright, then I’ll walk with you." Edward Quinn said, like an elder, walking side by side with Mabel as if he was completely unaffected by that gossip news.
"The news has been suppressed for now, but besides the Quinn Family, there should be two other forces involved," Edward remarked.
Mabel was startled. It really was as Alice had guessed; perhaps Daniel Harris had made a move, and... Kyle Kinston... could have also been involved. Apart from that, she couldn’t think of what the other two forces might be.
"I’ll handle the follow-up matters, so you won’t be bothered," Edward assured.
"Uncle, can I ask you why you’re so good to me?" Mabel suddenly asked. Perhaps this question had been buried in her heart for a long time. After all, they didn’t meet often, and Uncle Edward’s kindness to her far exceeded what he showed to other younger members of the Quinn Family.
