Chapter 277
Phoebe started laughing out loud, realizing that Ines hadn't heard the latest news about Ethan. "Izzy." she chuckled, "I finally get the idea that rich folks can do whatever they want, all thanks to your hubby. Turn on the TV, your husband is in it."
At this, Ines felt her heart speed up a bit, but she still asked, "What has he done now?"
"Go see the romantic thing he did for yourself." Phoebe said, "It won't be a surprise if I tell you. Izzy, you're so lucky. I regret not getting set up with Ethan earlier. Maybe he would've liked me, considering how similar our personalities are."
Ines thought Phoebe's words were getting more and more ridiculous. But knowing Phoebe, she didn’t overthink it. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
"What big thing has my husband done that’s got you so worked up?" Ines asked, truly puzzled.
"Sigh, I’m not going to say anything more. Just turn on the TV and see for yourself. Oh, and get some tissues ready. You might burst into tears." Phoebe said.
"That’s a bit of a stretch." Ines replied.
"Just watch and you'll see." Phoebe said.
With that, Phoebe hung up. Ines calmed herself down and turned on the TV. Seeing Ethan on the news, still in his suit, with the tie she had tied for him that morning, she was taken aback. He was giving off a cold aura, looking nothing like when he was with her.
He was such a sight to behold, drawing all the attention to him. The camera flashed from the crowd kept hitting him, but he remained unwavering, like a tree offering shelter.
Ines felt her heart beating faster again. This man, her husband, belonged to her and nobody else. And that filled her with immense pride.
He said solemnly, "Today, I’m not here as an employee of the Galeana Group or as the president of the Meyer Group. I'm here as an ordinary husband. Regarding the false rumors circulating online, I have filed lawsuits against 152 companies. My wife, Ines, is the chairman of the Galeana Group and is also pregnant. Their actions have severely damaged her reputation, affected her personal and the Galeana Group's image, and caused adverse effects on the stock price of the Galeana Group. The losses are incalculable."
When Ethan announced this, Ines was taken aback. He had told her in the morning that he would use legal measures to protect her rights. She thought it was only Sunny Day Magazine, but he had taken all websites spreading false news to court.
Ethan's move stunned her, and the only word she could think of to describe it was "willful". She was moved beyond words. She smiled, feeling overjoyed and content.
She finally understood why people admired the big company bosses so much. They were decisive. Ethan always spoke simply and straightforwardly, stating the facts as they were.
Camela came out of the kitchen and saw Ines engrossed in the TV, smiling happily like she wasn't disturbed by the news at all. Following Ines' gaze, she saw Ethan on the TV and stopped to listen to what he was saying.
Although she didn't understand much about law, Ethan's words still amazed her. Disbelief was evident in her eyes.
"Ines, Ethan is really amazing." She said.
Ines was, of course, very pleased to hear this. But she was also a bit worried. Ethan's action was a bit over the top, and he would definitely offend many media outlets in A City.
Ethan's move immediately won the hearts of many women in A City. Some of these women had previously criticized Ines, but after hearing Ethan's speech, they all began to support her.
Ines, who had temporarily turned off her phone earlier to avoid harassment, couldn't help but turn it on again. Although there were still some harassing calls, there were also calls from relatives and old friends of the Meyer family.
They were all worried about her, so she sent a mass text message to them.
The message was simple: [I'm fine, don't worry.] It was very in line with her usual gentle and elegant personality.
As Ines browsed the previous websites on her phone, she found that many news articles about her had been deleted. Even if one or two were still there, all the comments below were supportive of her, and the previous malicious comments were all gone.
At this time, a piece of news also appeared in front of her. The title was: "The President of the Meyer Group Defends Ines Against 152 Companies." The title was a bit surprising, but the content was very truthful. It objectively and impartially narrated the issues between Ines, Shirley, and Emma, and even reported on Hunter's incident. There was even a certificate from the police station. All in all, the content was very objective without any bias.
Ines was curious about who wrote this article that knew so many details. She quickly scrolled down to the end of the article and couldn't help but laugh when she saw the author's name.
It was Phoebe.
Ines smiled, feeling indescribably happy. One was her husband and the other was her good friend.
Both of them stood firmly behind her at all times, giving her the greatest support. She was truly satisfied.
Once Phoebe's article was published, it was quickly reposted by major websites. The previous websites also apologized for their impulsive actions. Ines casually read a few articles and then turned off her phone.
She was no saint. If she didn't have her current status and position, this news would definitely land her in hot water. Now they were willing to apologize, they were just trying to settle things before it hit the courtroom. Ethan was a cool cucumber, his decisions were always well thought out. At this point, she would respect his call and wouldn't stir up trouble for him.
