At the Translation Bureau, Stella had just finished a translation job and looked physically and mentally exhausted. Perhaps because of Claire, her mental state was not as good as before.
She felt a little dazed and anxious. After returning to her office, she drank some water, shook her head, and took out the mobile phone in the drawer.
After reading it, her brows gradually furrowed. Just then, the phone rang. “Hello, Stella.”
She said, “Lance, I was just about to call you. What’s going on? Why aren’t there any reposts, views, or discussions about the posts online?
“It’s still the same few people who posted this morning.”
Lance replied, “That’s exactly what I wanted to tell you. It’s only been a few minutes since the news broke, and it’s already been intercepted.
“The people on our side are already very capable; they’re all excellent hackers that I’ve had trained for Mr. Walton over the years. I didn’t expect it to be intercepted. Could it be Arthur?”
Upon hearing Arthur’s name, Stella’s grip tightened on her skirt. “No, no, it can’t be Arthur. Claire shouldn’t be worth Arthur’s time,” she stammered.
She continued, “It could be Morris, yes, it must be Morris. He’s Claire’s son–in–law. It’s perfectly normal for Cherise to ask her husband for help.”
The person on the other end of the line seemed to be at a loss for words. After a pause, they said, “Well, I do have screenshots. If you need them, I can send them to everyone privately.”
Stella took a deep breath. “Thank you, Lance. I knew you were the most loyal to my father and the Walton family. Please just send them to ladies. Don’t send them to the public. I’m afraid it might cause unnecessary trouble.”
Lance said, “Of course, of course. After all, this is a matter within our circle.
“We are all on Mr. Walton’s side. If this can cause some substantial damage to Arthur, it will be a good foundation for the upcoming election.”
After hanging up the phone, Stella remained motionless in her seat for a long time, still clutching her phone as if she had just finished the call.
Looking like she’s holding back something.
After a long while, Stella slowly began, “Arthur, I’m sorry, this may affect you, but I really can’t help it.
“I’ve waited too long, I really can’t let it go, I can only do it this way, I’m sorry.
“Don’t worry, if this affects your position, I will make it up to you in the future.”
Lance was very efficient. In less than ten minutes, many ladies‘ phones received a message about Claire’s slandering.
Soon, in the upper class of Betrico, Cherise’s mother became known to everyone.
Where there are women, there is no shortage of gossip. Coincidentally, this was still huge gossip. Although it was about his private life, it seemed more interesting to talk about it.

“No way, what’s going on? So Arthur is still a child picked up by someone else’s unwanted wife.”
“Actually, it’s normal for people to find a second marriage.”
“But did you see those posts? It seems that Claire wasn’t divorced at that time.”
“Yeah, yeah, I saw it.”

“But Jacob cheated on his wife first. His wife is abroad, far away from him. It’s not a big deal if he finds another one.”
“I’m curious how Arthur is dealing with this.”
“Let me tell you, I heard from my husband that this will definitely affect Arthur’s re–election.”
“Let’s wait and see. Be careful. Claire’s daughter and son–in–law are not to be trifled with. It seems that they don’t care if you are powerful or not, they will dare to attack you.”
“Be careful not to gossip.”
“Yes, I think we should be careful not to talk nonsense. Maybe the truth is not what we think it is.”
“I just simply like Claire’s looks. She’s really beautiful. Both she and her daughter are incredibly beautiful. I’m so envious.”
All of a sudden, this “scandal” between Arthur and Claire spread throughout the upper class.
Jagger and Cora Walton were sitting face to face, with Lydia by their side. After taking a sip of tea, Cora said to Jagger, “Dear, have you heard anything?
“I just came back from a walk in the courtyard, and a few ladies were talking about Arthur’s son. They said that the woman who gave birth to her son wasn’t ‘clean.’”
Hearing this, Jagger glared at Cora. “Don’t spread rumors about this. Arthur is still in that position, his power remains intact.
“And it won’t do the Walton family any good if word gets out.”
Cora sneered when she heard Jagger say this. “Oh, there’s no smoke without fire. This couldn’t have happened at a better time. Wouldn’t this be beneficial to Tristan? Don’t tell me you haven’t thought about this.”
Jagger shook his head slightly, not refuting Cora’s words. He simply said, “Don’t take sides. Just wait and see.”
Lydia had been taking out her phone and searching for everything her grandparents had just said while they were talking.
After reading it, she didn’t say anything. She glanced silently in the direction of Stella’s room on the second floor, her mind replaying everything Stella had said to her a few days ago.
Stella said, “Lydia, what should I do? Will you protect me if something happens? I may have to do some bold things I never done before.
“Lydia, I don’t know what to do, but I can’t do it. I’m not a cruel person, but… Lydia…”
