Tanya Sinclair finished tidying up and just lay down on the bed. Before sleeping, she remembered that Daisy Bell had pushed Julian Poole’s WeChat to her, so she picked up her phone to apply for a friend add, sending a self-introduction. Tanya Sinclair: [Julian, I’m Tanya Sinclair.] Tanya originally thought it was so late that Julian was probably asleep, but he unexpectedly accepted instantly. Tanya was planning to apologize to Julian and explain what happened today, but before she could send her message, Julian’s message arrived first. Julian Poole: [Is it convenient for a voice call?] Tanya’s typing hand paused slightly, thinking that speaking over a voice call would indeed be quicker. She deleted the line she had just typed and was about to reply [okay], but Julian’s second message popped up first. Julian Poole: [It’s okay if it’s not convenient, I was being too presumptuous.] Tanya couldn’t help but laugh, and straightforwardly initiated a voice call. On the other side of the night, in a tastefully decorated, classically styled spacious flat. Sitting on the couch staring at his phone, Julian became so excited when he saw Tanya’s voice call request that he jumped up immediately! He cleared his throat and answered. "Hmm, how are you now? I’m sorry, the situation was too chaotic then, I didn’t have time to accompany you to the hospital or say goodbye." Tanya apologized sincerely. "It’s okay, it was just a minor skin injury, no need to go to the hospital. And you didn’t do anything wrong!" Julian paused and cautiously asked, "That man tonight was..." Tanya replied frankly: "His name is Vincent Hawthorne, the general manager of Zenith Group, and also my soon-to-be ex-husband." Zenith Group... general manager! Julian’s pupils shook, so... Tanya is the Mrs. Hawthorne Cindy Lynn was talking about! He had been to the research department at Zenith Group so many times, and the person he was yearning to find was actually only twenty meters away from him! And he had unknowingly despised her to the fullest! Julian felt a moment of deep shame, wishing he could go back in time and give himself a few slaps! Tanya waited for a while but didn’t hear him speak, feeling a bit worried: "Julian, are you okay?" "I’m fine, I..." Julian was at a loss for words, not knowing how to start explaining, only grateful that Tanya still didn’t know anything. "Tanya, can I still contact you?" Julian’s voice was slightly tense, revealing a subtle hint of unease. "Of course you can." Tanya smiled and said, "We’re friends, after all, let’s keep in touch. I’m really sorry about today. I’ll treat you to dinner someday and formally apologize!" "Great!" Julian agreed without thinking, "Then when you’re available, make sure to remember this meal." Tanya laughed, "Hmm. It’s late, get some rest, goodnight." Although Julian wanted to chat with her a little longer, he could hear from Tanya’s voice that she was already a bit sleepy. When the call ended, Julian put down his phone, realizing his palms were sweaty. Almost at thirty years old, he was still so nervous because of a voice call, like a young boy. He couldn’t help but find it amusing; laughing, he accidentally tugged at his mouth wound, wincing in pain. Julian’s gaze turned cold; how could a man like that be worthy of Tanya? However, thinking they were soon to divorce, the gloom in Julian’s heart dissipated a bit. Julian made a call to his assistant: "Find the most capable divorce lawyer in Aris for me; if you can’t find one here, look elsewhere, whether in the country or abroad, doesn’t matter the cost! Uh... there’s someone very important to me who’s about to divorce. I want it to go smoothly for her!" After Tanya finished chatting with Julian, she was ready to sleep. Her phone vibrated at that moment, she hadn’t posted on her Moments, but a red dot popped up suddenly. Content orıginally comes from 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾·𝗇𝖾𝗍 It was someone specifically reminding her to check. Tanya just assumed it was Daisy Bell posting something beautiful again; she dotingly curled her lips, casually clicking in to give Daisy a like. But the moment she clicked in, she felt unlucky enough to want to throw her phone. Opening the social media circle, the first thing she saw was a selfie of Cindy Lynn. How is that different from seeing a ghost in the middle of the night? Tanya held back her disgust for a closer look. No wonder Cindy was so eager to show off. Turns out she was wearing the pajamas Tanya didn’t want, lying on the bed Tanya didn’t want, and most likely slept with the man Tanya didn’t want... Tanya felt no ripples inside, apart from the disgust, she almost wanted to laugh. But since she posted it, Tanya couldn’t just look for free. Thus, Tanya seriously commented below. Tanya: [These pajamas haven’t been washed in five years, they’re a perfect match for you.] She also added a thumbs up emoji afterward. Then she blocked and deleted Cindy Lynn. Tanya set her alarm, put her phone to sleep mode, lay comfortably in bed, and quickly fell asleep... But tonight, it was Vincent Hawthorne who tossed and turned, unable to sleep. When he finally did sleep, he kept dreaming, dreaming of Tanya, surrounded by men, all kinds of men, he knocked one down, then another would appear! The whole night of dreams left him utterly exhausted. Early the next morning, Vincent was woken up by a phone call. He frowned, propped himself up, grabbed the incessantly ringing phone, glanced at the caller, and answered. "Vincent, you’ve really made something of yourself now! You actually dared to brawl in a bar! It’s trending online, and you’ve embarrassed both me and the Group!" Father Hawthorne, Theodore, roared furiously, waking Vincent up instantly. He disregarded responding to his father, immediately checked the trending topics, and was startled to see a headline: [Zenith Group’s General Manager, Vincent Hawthorne, brawling out of jealousy in a bar, with a twisted face beating up others! His perfect image shattered!] Clicking in, there was already a video of him assaulting someone in a bar last night, forwarded hundreds of thousands of times! But the dim bar lighting in the video only showed silhouettes, faces weren’t visible at all! Vincent’s first instinct was to deny: "Dad, that’s not me, someone deliberately wants to frame me..." Father Hawthorne laughed in anger. "Watch the video through before you argue with me!" "..." Vincent didn’t have the face to watch the entire video, and skipped to the end, where the bar owner personally appeared for an interview, directly cementing his identity! Bar Owner: "Oh, President Hawthorne was completely drunk here the night before, slept through the day. Who knew he had such poor alcohol tolerance, getting violent after drinking. The other patrons didn’t provoke him, just wanted to dance with a lady, and he charged up and started hitting people, I almost got hit trying to break it up!" Reporter: "Can you confirm it was Vincent Hawthorne, General Manager of Zenith Group, who fought?" "Of course, he’s a regular at our place..." Vincent’s lips turned slightly white, trying to explain with a dry mouth. "Dad, I... this is definitely someone trying to set me up!" If there wasn’t someone powerful backing, the bar owner wouldn’t dare to openly offend him! Father Hawthorne scolded: "Someone wanting to set you up means you gave them leverage! I’ve told you countless times, you can mess with women outside, but be careful, absolutely don’t blow things up! Your public image now represents Zenith Group’s image!" Vincent had a headache. How does he explain that he didn’t mess with women yesterday, he acted because of Tanya. "Dad, I’ll go to the company right now to arrange emergency PR!" The matter had already happened, all he could do was fix it urgently. Once the dust settled, he would definitely uncover the hand behind this! "I’ve already gotten the PR team to whitewash things for you, what you need to do now is come up with big news, use positive press to suppress this wave!" Father Hawthorne said sternly. Vincent immediately thought of something. His previously anxious and confused eyes suddenly brightened. "Dad, Cindy has already secured the deal with Westgard Pharmaceuticals! Declan Pierce’s signed contract will be delivered this morning!" "Good! The good news of our contract renewal with Westgard Pharmaceuticals is enough to overshadow the negative publicity about your brawl last night!" Father Hawthorne’s tone finally improved somewhat, he was quite pleased, "Seems like Cindy does have some skills, that equipment wasn’t wasted on her, and your time nurturing her wasn’t in vain!" Then Father Hawthorne shifted, bitterly mocking: "That Tanya woman sure has delusions of grandeur, she actually dared to propose signing with Westgard Pharmaceuticals as an outsourcing contract on her own! She sure thinks she’s a genius, without The Hawthorne Family as a platform, what is she even?" Father Hawthorne’s tone turned increasingly cold, issuing orders: "Since Tanya is no longer of any value, and you have the premarital agreement, find a chance to deal with her, slander her, dominate the narrative, and just kick her out! How can a daughter-in-law of The Hawthorne Family be a lonely orphan raised in a clinic? It’s embarrassing even to mention!"
