Chapter 23 You’re Not Young, Right?
In the Grant family’s old house, Old Mrs. Grant sat in the living room, holding Hans’ hand and looking at the tablet with a smile.
The Industrious Hellen’s account was displayed on the tablet.
“Our granddaughter-in-law is so beautiful. I didn’t expect her makeup skills to be so good.”
Old Mrs. Grant praised her profusely.
Hans sat to the side with his legs crossed. He looked at the person on the screen coldly.
This woman seemed to release her nature after their divorce.
In the past, she seemed to be frightened by his loud voice. But now, she even opened a short video account on the Internet.
He looked at the woman in the video, smiling with white teeth, and her eyes were extremely beautiful.
Old Mrs. Grant clicked on the comments under the video. The malicious comments on Twitter had not yet spread to the platform. They were all praises for Hellen.
Old Mrs. Grant was also happy. “My granddaughter-in-law is so cute. Everyone says that she is a lady.”
A lady?
There was a hint of mockery in Hans’ eyes. Seeing that beautiful face, his back ached faintly.
Hellen went to the club to find a male model. She was good at martial arts and also pretended to be wronged to let him relax and sneak attack him.
This woman was too cunning.
As soon as Hellen arrived, she heard Old Mrs. Grant’s laughter.
“Hellen is here.”
Hellen glanced at Hans, who was standing behind Old Mrs. Grant. The man was tall and strong. Even if he was wearing casual home clothes, he still could not hide the thin and cold aura.
A look of disdain flashed across Hellen’s face. She turned to look at Grandma and smiled cutely. “Grandma misses me?”
Old Mrs. Grant pulled her to the sofa and sat down.
“I miss you. How long haven’t you come to see me? Did you forget grandma? ”
The old woman’s angry appearance amused Hellen. She coaxed her gently, “No, I miss grandma every day and want to see you. But he didn’t let me come.”
Hans took the blame, and his face became colder.
Hellen was certain that he did not dare to tell Old Mrs. Grant about their divorce. She complained to grandma.
The more Old Mrs. Grant listened, the angrier she became. She turned her head and pretended to hit Hans. “You only know how to bully Hellen! She is such a good daughter-in-law. If she runs away, I will expel you from the Grant family!”
“I understand, Grandma.” Hans’ voice was gentle when he spoke to the old madam.
He turned his head and looked at Hellen. His face, which was usually cold and sharp, suddenly smiled, as if all things had been revived and the ice and snow had melted.
He looked beautiful and astonishing. Those ink-black eyes stunned Hellen for an instant.
Then, she felt a burst of cold and scared.
After sitting and chatting with Old Mrs. Grant for a while, there was a knock outside the door.
Hellen looked up and saw Mrs. Grant walking in with Natalie.
They might have just returned from shopping. Behind them, the servants were carrying bags of all sizes.
Mrs. Grant saw Hellen and immediately frowned. “Why are you here?”
Hellen swept them with gaze, not saying a word.
Old Mrs. Grant frowned. “What are you saying? This is Hellen’s house. Why can’t she be here?”
Mrs. Grant wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. Natalie stepped forward and wrapped her arm around Mrs. Grant, saying something unknown.
Mrs. Grant’s expression softened. “You’re still the most sensible one.”
Natalie smiled gently and turned to greet Hellen. “Hello.”
Hellen didn’t even give a look. She turned to ask Old Mrs. Grant, “Grandma, who is she?”
Old Mrs. Grant didn’t know the relationship between Hans and Natalie. She smiled and said, “She is one of Hans’ friends.”
“Friend…” Hellen repeated the words meaningfully and looked at Natalie with a smile. “You don’t look young anymore. Do you have a boyfriend?”
Natalie’s face darkened as she looked pleadingly at Hans.
He frowned slightly. “Hellen, it’s too late. Let’s go back first.”
It was afternoon when she went out, and now it was already dark.
Old Mrs. Grant reluctantly sent Hellen to the door and watched the two get into the car.
The car drove out of the Grant family’s old house. Hellen sat in the back seat and wanted to stay away from Hans.
But the back seat was so small, and the pressure from the man filled the entire car.
The other car caught up to them after they had driven for a while.
Natalie got out of the car and stood outside their car with tears. “Hans-”
She looked so miserable as if she had been greatly wronged.
Hellen narrowed her eyes.
Hans rolled down the window and asked, “Why did you come out?”
“I have something to discuss with you.” Natalie looked at Hellen in the car. “Just on the way. If we go together, Hellen won’t mind, right?”
Hellen sneered. “I mind.”
“Helen, do you have some misunderstanding about me?” Natalie stood outside the window, looking flustered as she explained in a hurry.
“I really want to get along well with you. After all, you are Hans’ ex-wife.”
“Get along well with me? Are you even worthy?” Hellen lifted her eyes, glanced at her, and said. “Buying anti-fans must have cost you a lot of money, right?”
Natalie’s face froze. “Hellen, what are you talking about? Anti-fans?”
On the way here, Hellen had already checked Annie’s IP. Although she hid it well, after layers of investigation, she finally decided who issued the task.
It was one of Natalie’s personal assistants.
Hellen sneered. “If you don’t want others to know, you would better not do. I suggest you read Twitter now.”
After finding out who sent it, she sent a series of evidence to the trending topic.
Natalie’s face turned pale. She looked at the man beside her and said, “Hans-”
Hans got out of the car and said to David, “Send her back to the Jovano family.”
Hans took Natalie to the roadside.
Since they weren’t very close, Hellen couldn’t hear what they were talking about. She could only see Natalie sob in a low voice.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Hellen let out a cold laugh.
“Drive!”
…
There had been a heated discussion on the Internet.
Hellen’s chat records and evidence on Twitter indicated that someone paid anti-fans to slander her.
During Mrs. Grant’s birthday party, some people in Tempe City also met the daughter of The Jovano Group. Someone who knew the inside story immediately explained the grudges between the three of them.
Natalie was the mistress who had interrupted other marriage.
On the other hand, Industrious Hellen who was ranked the first in trending today was actually the Jovano family’s Young Miss, Hellen Jovano.
There was an uproar on the Internet. This gossip was really big. Everyone hated mistresses.
“‘Natalie’s good resources are earned by being a mistress!”
-“Director Lee is farsighted. No wonder he changed Natalie a while ago. It’s probably because of this matter!”
Natalie’s fans joined the battle and made excuses for her.
-Industrious Hellen didn’t have the any reputation, but she relied on the capital to bully others!
-“The Jovano Group is powerful. It’s using its capital to suppress my idol!”
There was a war of words on the Internet. When Hellen returned home, she saw that Natalie’s Twitter was still silent.
She went back to the bedroom and took a shower. When she came out to read again, she found that the trending topic about this matter was suddenly taken down.
The fierce discussion stopped abruptly.
Hellen’s eyes narrowed as she let out a cold laugh.
Hans really cared a lot about Natalie.
She didn’t want to waste time on these two scumbags. It is alright to withdraw the trending topic. She would inevitably be scolded if Evert saw that she was involved in this matter.
