Chapter 26 " Impossible ! " Bradley spontaneously denied , avoiding the gaze of Xavier beside him , and looking at the chaotic dance floor . " Why would I still want a divorce from her if I like her ? As for why I've been dragging it out … " He swirled the wine glass in his hand and leaned over the table . " Watch for yourself . The moment news of the divorce comes out , some messy people appear around her . I can't just let her stray since we've grown up together . " Xavier was not pleased . He clenched a cigarette in his mouth but didn't light it up , frowning when he heard these words . " You can insult others , but how could you involve me ? Aren't we brothers ? " Bradley glanced at him , snorting lightly , " It's precisely because I know what kind of person you are that I especially mention you . " There were plenty of second - generation elites in their circle who hadn't married , but those who were still virgins were a rare breed . Women Xavier had slept with were too numerous to count on both hands and feet . Marrying her to him would be like pushing her into a pit of fire . Xavier disdainfully sneered at this , " Winnie is the one who will reform me . Just wait and see . " Bradley didn't bother with him . His cell phone rang at the right moment , and he ignored the remark . The call was from Sarah , but the voice on the other end was her assistant's . After a few words , his face darkened slightly . " Where is she hurt ? I'm coming right away . " As he hung up the phone , he didn't have time to chat with Xavier anymore . " I need to visit the hospital , remember to check the things I handed over to you . " Xavier was uninterested in Sarah . " Give me Winnie's contact information , and I will start the investigation immediately . " Bradley ignored him and picked up his suit jacket to leave . Xavier was exasperated . " You couldn't possibly not have her contact , could you ? " The news of Sarah's injury had been a trending topic all night . After all , she was a famous actress . Even the smallest incidents such as scraping her finger and going to the hospital for it could make news and garner sympathy from her fans . Nothing to say about something as drastic as a car accident . At the same time , Gentle Breeze was caught up in the trending list . The post was made by Isabel . The brief narrative seemed to merely explain the cause and course of the car accident , but in reality , most of the emphasis was on being kicked out of Gentle Breeze . This led to a late - night journey home via a remote route , subtly directing the blame for the accident towards the restaurant - if it hadn't been for the excessive anger caused by being expelled , the accident wouldn't have happened ! In short , the occurrence of the accident had a traceable cause and the situation was understandable . Combined with pictures from the accident scene , fans felt deeply hurt and couldn't stop expressing their sympathy for Sarah . Her studio liked Isabel's post . Subsequently , a video of Sarah's dispute in the restaurant was uploaded . With the effects of editing , the entire video seemed biased against her , showcasing an impolite staff member telling her to eat it or leave it Fans concurred that Sarah's accident was completely due to the emotional disturbance caused by Gentle Breeze . Gentle Breeze needed to assume responsibility and demanded the involved staff to come forward to apologize . Giselle learned about all these only after waking up the next day , Late last night , it was well beyond midnight when she returned from Mansion No. 9. Gentle Breeze didn't open in the morning , so she got up a bit late . Little did she expect to receive a message as soon as she got up that the restaurant had been temporarily closed and there was no need to go to work . Giselle wasn't idle . She registered an account on a social media app that was buzzing with these topics , and also made herself a cup of coffee Coincidentally , as soon as she logged in , she saw the trending post by Sarah The rich aroma of coffee permeated the room as a silver spoon slowly stirred in the coffee cup . However , Giselle , sitting at the dining table , was engrossed in her phone , not picking up her cup for a sip . The post didn't exactly accuse Gentle Breeze of anything . Instead , it began by expressing respect for Emmett . She had heard that Emmett Melendez had appeared at Gentle Breeze the day before , and she had gone there out of admiration . However , she had been thrown out due to her own ignorance of the rules She then sincerely apologized , stating that the accident was due to her own carelessness while driving and had nothing to do with anyone else . She 12 < Chapter 25 +30 Vouchers also asked her fans not to blame others . The accompanying picture was of Sarah in the hospital , wearing a bandage , with a bright smile but a pale face . Indeed , it elicited sympathy . The effect was evident too ; amidst a wave of pity - filled comments , there was anger towards Gentle Breeze , making it understandable why Gentle Breeze had to temporarily close to avoid the public unrest . Giselle closed the app expressionlessly and placed a call to Emmett . As soon as the call was answered , a mix of a fiery and aggrieved voice came through , " Gigi , you were at the venue yesterday . It was clearly that woman who started the irrational tantrum , and now she's playing the victim ! She's shameless ! " Giselle , who had initially felt quite heavy - hearted , was now caught between a sense of helplessness and the urge to laugh , " Alright , calm down first . What's going on there ? " Hearing her voice , Emmett stopped complaining and seriously replied , " I'm not at the restaurant . Dylan said there were many people blocking the entrance from early morning . I told Dylan to stay inside and not to go out , as there isn't a shortage of food or drink for the time being . " Hearing this , Giselle's brows furrowed , and she asked worriedly , " Did anyone get hurt ? Did those people break anything ? " She had seen a fair share of such incidents overseas . It was tolerable if things got broken or damaged , but what was worrisome was people getting hurt . Emmett let out a huff , " Well , not exactly . Just a bunch of kids holding signs demanding an apology . It's not quite to the point of physically assaulting someone ! " " That's good . " Giselle sighed in relief . She switched on the computer on her desk , giving instructions to Emmett at the same time , " Does the CCTV footage from last night at the shop exist ? Have someone send it to me . " Suddenly , silence fell on the other end of the phone . A pause . Giselle cast a puzzled glance at the screen , the call hadn't been disconnected . " Emmett ? " A moment later , a slow response came from the other side . " Gigi , when the news broke , I had asked Dylan to retrieve the CCTV footage to clear things up , but … it's truly bizarre ! All the footage from last night is gone ! Not just the CCTV from our shop , but even the videos shot by Dylan are all missing ! " Giselle's movements were momentarily halted . As if she had anticipated this situation in advance , she asked in a steady tone , " Didn't I ask for the CCTV and audio recordings to be backed up separately last night ? Did you send them to me ? " Emmett was both frustrated and angry , " Not only did we send you a copy , but we also saved one locally . The video stored on our own computers is gone . Gigi , I'm guessing your copy is probably … Forget it , let's credit her for being a big star . Gentle Breeze will just have to swallow this loss . If it comes to it , I'll just close the restaurant ! " " You can't close it ! Or where will I mooch off food from in the future ? " Giselle was tapping her fingers on the keyboard , her tone was jesting . " I will take care of this , you go and give everyone a well - deserved break . Once I get to work , you will all be busy . I gotta go . " Without giving Emmett a chance to ask anything , she abruptly ended the call , leaving her room filled with the sound of keyboard clicks . Not long after , on the computer screen , the progress bar of a data recovery process was slowly progressing …. Chapter Comments Π
