Chapter 30
“Yes, I didn’t expect her to treat me like that. She has always liked me, but I’ve told her clearly that I like Jeanne. I’m getting married, so I asked her not to pester me. Who knew, she threatened me by saying that she’d commit suicide. I didn’t expect her to drug me when I went to find her. Right now, I regret that I was too kind toward her. I even suspect that all the bad things I did with her were her schemes to destroy the relationship between me and Jeanne!” Thedus looked like he was in pain.
Jeanne was not as simple as she thought! Originally, Jenifer had also come to see Jeanne make a fool out of herself and to see how she would be humiliated by the Lockes. Who knew, the plot was reversed. The Lockes knelt and apologized to Jeanne instead, and Jeanne even brought a huge amount of benefits to the Lawrences… As such, would Alexander and Jonathan have no choice but to change their opinion of Jeanne?!
“I only hope that Jeanne can give me a chance… I really love Jeanne. The first time I saw her, I fell in love with her. I’ve been looking forward to our wedding, and I also treat George as my own son. I never thought that I would make such a mistake. I really wanted to kill myself for a second!” Thedus was trying to gain sympathy.
“You don’t have to worry about other things. Just leave it to me,” Damian said, “You should prepare for your daughter’s wedding with the Swans. That’s the most important matter for you. Once you become in-laws of the Swans, the Lockes will also benefit from it…”
“We can’t delay this matter. If it drags on for too long, I don’t know how the news will spread. Moreover, the collaboration with MUK is imminent, so I want to settle this as soon as possible. I don’t want other matters to affect the progress of my negotiations.”
Jeanne knew Monica too well. She did not even need to think to know what Monica was going to say. Besides, it was not suitable for her to talk to Monica at the Locke family’s residence, so she put her phone on vibration and let her call her as much as she wanted!
Thedus sat down and continued, “Everything reported on the news is true. I’ve indeed done something to let Jeanne down. Although I was framed and drugged, what happened happened. A mistake is a mistake. I’ll bear the responsibility for this mistake. I’ll…”
“Don’t be agitated. It’s not what you think.” Jeanne did not explain because she could not explain it. She said, “Just drive to the entrance of the address I sent you and wait for me. I’m afraid that I won’t have a car to leave later.”
Alexander let Jeanne make her choice because he wanted to give himself a way out. Nonetheless, no matter her choice, in the end, she would have to follow his way and face the reporters together with Thedus to resolve this matter.
Thedus said, “I’m very grateful to the media for attending this press conference. First of all, I would like to express my deep apology for my personal misconduct that caused a negative impact on the public.”
“Since that’s the case, let’s take advantage of the fact that the matter hasn’t escalated. Let’s resolve it as soon as possible,” Damian said, “I want to convene a press conference in the afternoon.”
“That’s fine. Jeanne and Thedus will go to meet the reporters in the afternoon. We don’t need to accompany them. The young ones can settle their matters by themselves. We shouldn’t get involved.”
“It’s just that I have something to do in the afternoon… To tell you the truth, the Swans are coming to talk about Jasmine and Eden’s marriage in the afternoon. I have to be there.”
Alexander came back to his senses and said, “Since Jeanne has agreed, I believe that Thedus has also learned his lesson. This matter will be done according to Jeanne’s instructions.”
When she walked out, Thedus was already waiting for her outside. His expression was extremely ugly. Due to the situation, he endured and did not throw a tantrum.
“That’s true. Once we get involved, things will change. Perhaps the media will insist that we’re doing it for profit or something.”
