Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!

Chapter 1122 Over the Top

After his thought was exposed, Mr. McDaniel felt a little embarrassed. He was just sitting there as if he was frozen.

When the Old Madam saw Mr. McDaniel like this, she smiled and patted the back of Felicia's hand. "Felicia's right, Mr. McDaniel. If you need anything, then you can get straight to the point. There's no point going around in circles. I'm getting old, so I can't be bothered to solve riddles. It will only be a waste of your time and mine. What do you say?"

The corners of Mr. McDaniel's mouth twitched. "You're right, Old Madam. Since that's the case, then I'll get straight to the point."

"You should have done that at the start," the Old Madam said indifferently.

Mr. McDaniel took a deep breath. He wasn't happy, but there was nothing he could do.

He was used to negotiating tactfully and not getting to the point.

This was because he felt that getting straight to the point would mean that he was no longer in control of the conversation.

For so many years, Mr. McDaniel had been talking to people in this way and that included Julien. No one had told him that there were any problems in the way he spoke either.

He felt that talking to the Old Madam was very troublesome.

Mr. McDaniel lowered his head so that the Old Madam couldn't see the unhappiness in his eyes. He then said, "Earlier today, some gossip has been spreading on the internet. It might be quite serious or it might not be. The person involved in this gossip is Julien's ex-wife."

"Let me correct you, Mr. McDaniel. It's not Mr. Julien's ex-wife. Ms. Raines has always been Mr. Julien's wife. They're just temporarily divorced. They will be re-married soon. Therefore, she has always been his wife. This means that there had never been an ex-wife. What do you think?" Felicia asked Mr. McDaniel with a smile as she squinted her eyes.

However, Felicia's smile wasn't really a smile.

Mr. McDaniel knew that Felicia was warning him to watch his tongue.

He was angry, but there was nothing he could do. He forced a smile on his face and replied, "You're right, Felicia. That was my mistake, I'll keep that in mind next time."

Mr. McDaniel was determined not to admit that he deliberately addressed Ms. Raines as Julien's ex- wife.

Felicia and the Old Madam realized that Mr. McDaniel wasn't going to admit to what he did, but weren't surprised.

After all, everyone knew what kind of person he was.

"Well, since you've learned from your mistake, Mr. McDaniel, please carry on." Felicia didn't expose Mr. McDaniel and gestured for him to continue.

Mr. McDaniel took another deep breath and did his best to maintain his cool. He then continued, "The gossip this time involved Ms. Raines. It was said that when Ms. Raines and her friend were talking about work at a hotel, a paparazzi caught pictures of her and posted them on the internet. The paparazzi even said that Ms. Raines betrayed Julien, because she was cheating on Julien with her friend. This matter is getting more and more serious on the internet. A lot of netizens believed that Ms. Raines really betrayed Julien. Therefore, the criticism of Ms. Raines on the internet became nastier and nastier. Only when Ms. Raines found evidence to prove herself innocent did

things die down. At the same time, what happened made us realize that someone was behind all of this and it wasn't the media company that the paparazzi belonged to. It was my granddaughter who was behind all of this."

"Oh, is that so?" The Old Madam pretended to be surprised.

She was very good at acting. In the past, when she had been dealing with her rivals, she had put on quite a lot of acts.

Therefore, this caused others to not be able to tell whether her reaction was real or fake.

At least Mr. McDaniel and Clay were not able to tell if the Old Madam's reaction at this moment was real or fake. They actually thought that the Old Madam didn't know about this matter.

When Mr. McDaniel saw Old Madam’s reaction as he had expected, he breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.

Because this meant that he had more room for negotiation.

With that thought in mind, Mr. McDaniel rolled his eyes and what he was thinking was obvious in his eyes.

The Old Madam and Felicia looked at each other. They could clearly see the disgust in each other's eyes.

They couldn't believe that Mr. McDaniel revealed such a scheming look in front of them. They really felt that he was short-sighted. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Mr. McDaniel hadn't yet realized that his thoughts were already exposed and that Felicia and the Old Madam could tell what he was thinking. At that moment, he was actually quite pleased with himself.

He coughed lightly and said, "I'm afraid it's true. I feel very bad for what has happened. I didn't expect my granddaughter would do such a thing."

The apologetic look on his face was obviously fake.

This was the result of someone with bad acting skills trying to act.

The Old Madam couldn't stand such a sight anymore, so her voice became impatient. "Then why did she do it?"

Mr. McDaniel thought the reason for the Old Madam's impatience was because of what his granddaughter did. He didn't know that the Old Madam was actually impatient towards him, but he still kept on faking the apologetic look on his face. "I only just found out that she was behind all of this as well. Therefore, I came here as soon as I could."

"So, why did your granddaughter do it?" The Old Madam picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip of tea. "If I remember correctly, your granddaughter doesn't know Syd at all. Why would she plot against Syd? What's in it for her?"

The Old Madam pretended not to know Erin's feelings for her grandson.

Mr. McDaniel sighed. "It's true that Erin doesn't know Ms. Raines, but Julien is my student. He grew up with Erin, the two of them were like siblings and had a really good relationship. Although Erin was abroad, she has always been following everything that happened here. When she found out that Julien and Ms. Raines were back together, she cared a lot about this matter. After all, Julien was like a brother to her. She cared about him a lot and that's why she did something so impulsive. She thought that Ms. Raines was cheating on Julien and asked the media to post this on the internet before she could fully understand the situation."

"Therefore, your granddaughter didn't do it on purpose? She wasn't plotting against Syd and was only doing it for Julien?" the Old Madam lowered her eyes and asked.

Mr. McDaniel's eyes lit up and quickly nodded his head. "That's right. That's exactly what happened. Ms. Raines can be seen as Erin's sister-in-law. She hasn't met Ms. Raines and didn't have anything against her, so why would she plot against Ms. Raines? Therefore, what she did was only try to stand up for Julien and nothing else. She didn't know that posting the pictures on the internet would cause so much trouble for Ms. Raines. She regretted doing it when she calmed down as well. She wanted to apologize to Ms. Raines, but it was too late. Ms. Raines has already said on the internet that she wouldn't forgive whoever was behind this matter."

"If it was me, I wouldn't forgive the person behind this either," the Old Madam suddenly said as she picked up her teacup and took another sip.

The expression on Mr. McDaniel's face immediately froze after hearing those words. "Old Madam..."

"You can't understand why I'm doing this, can you? You have no idea why I support Syd, right?" The Old Madam raised her head and looked at Mr. McDaniel.

Mr. McDaniel fell silent.

The Old Madam was right. He didn't understand.

The Old Madam snorted. "Why does Syd need to forgive your granddaughter? No matter if your granddaughter did it on purpose or not, she has caused harm to Syd. This is something that you can't undo. As the victim, she doesn't need to forgive an assaulter. Besides, your granddaughter was standing up for Julien? If she really wanted to do that, why didn't she just tell Julien in private? Why did she have to post things on the internet? Doing so not only put Syd in a difficult position, but also allowed others to have something to laugh at Julien. Her actions caused trouble for quite a few people. How can we just forget what happened after she told us that she didn't mean it? And even

want us to forgive her? As an old lady, I'm not that generous. Syd has a similar personality as me, so I can understand why she's not forgiving your granddaughter. I also support her decision as well."

After hearing the Old Madam's explanation, Mr. McDaniel found it a little hard to accept. "That's true, but Erin did it for Julien. She might have used the wrong method, but her intentions were good. Now, not only Ms. Raines isn't accepting our apology, but even Julien has a grudge against us due to what happened. He isn't answering my calls either. As his teacher, he doesn't even want to meet me. I've heard that he wants to break off all relationships with the McDaniel family as well. Isn't this a little going over the top?"
