Chapter 241: Chapter 236
Emily Parker and Carlos had a falling out, and by dinner ti, she had barely eaten a few bites.
Mrs. Carter noticed that Emily was just pushing her food around with her chopsticks and thought the dishes didn’t suit her taste. She quickly and with great concern instructed the kitchen to prepare so nourishing soups.
Soon after, Maria Carter ca in humming a tune, carrying the freshly made soups.
As soon as she entered the room, she glanced at the empty room and started to ponder, secretly grumbling to herself,
“My brother is really sothing, with his stubborn pride. He’s clearly fallen for her, but refuses to admit it. He’ll regret it later!”
Maria was determined to say a few good things about her brother and try to matchmake the two of them. But before she could open her mouth, her phone in her pocket started vibrating.
She took out her phone and saw it was Liliana calling.
As soon as she answered, Liliana’s frantic voice ca through,
“Maria, sothing terrible has happened!
Your brother got into a fight over a woman and was caught by the paparazzi. It’s all over the headlines!”
Maria’s eyes widened instantly upon hearing this, and she nearly dropped the plate in her hand. She didn’t care about Liliana still speaking on the other end and anxiously opened her news app.
When she saw the news, her face turned green in an instant.
In the photos, she recognized her brother’s familiar back. His clothes were disheveled as if he had just been in a fierce fight and he was holding a woman protectively.
Although the photo didn’t capture the woman’s face, Maria imdiately recognized the coat on her shoulders; it was the one her brother wore most often.
“No, we have to find a way to take this news down as soon as possible. If my sister-in-law sees it, it’ll be a disaster.”
Maria was anxious, with beads of sweat on her forehead. She couldn’t think of anything else and imdiately sent a ssage to Secretary Ross,
“Secretary Ross, no matter what it takes, this news must be removed at all costs!”
Fortunately, Secretary Ross was very efficient. In no ti, the news that was causing an uproar online saw a significant drop in interest and was soon drowned out by other headlines.
Maria secretly glanced at her sister-in-law, who was still leisurely sipping bird’s nest soup, and let out a long breath, feeling the weight lifting off her chest.
Emily took a few more sips of the soup and was about to pick up her phone when Maria, quick as lightning, stood up as if her tail had been stepped on and loudly said,
“Sister-in-law, don’t look at your phone… I an, you’re pregnant now, and it’s better for the baby if you use your phone less.”
After saying this, her eyes rolled quickly, and like a magic trick, she pulled out a stack of test papers from behind her, her face full of a flattering smile,
“Sister-in-law, I heard you were pretty good at math in high school. I have a problem here that I just can’t figure out, could you help take a look?”
Anyway, she had to find a way to stop her sister-in-law from seeing those ssy news articles until Secretary Ross had deleted them all completely.
Emily took the test paper, glanced at the question, and after a mont of thought, began to explain it casually.
Maria initially just wanted to make up an excuse, but as she listened to Emily’s explanation, she couldn’t help but be stunned.
She never expected her sister-in-law to be so good at math. Just for one question, Emily imdiately provided three different solutions.
And those solutions were sowhat similar to those taught by her famously expert tutor, “Heavenly King.” Each one was simple, clear, and easy to understand.
The more Maria listened, the more she found herself getting serious.
