Hayden tried to art casually in reminding
Hayden stood outside for a long time before turning back to his house. Even though he knew how ridiculous it was, a tiny bit of selfishness sparked.
At the Lewis rendence, James sat on the couch, looking really upset. “Who did you say got involved?” He asked with a frown
1x Zach Cramer Trom the Cramer family” Marilyn rubbed her temples. “How did the Cramer family end up involved in this?”
She intended to give Hayden and Courtney a lesson about how tough the real world was but ended up facing Zach and his wealthy friends,
Zach is the heir of the Cramer family, who owns a chain of high–end hotels worldwide. Even if Zach lizes around and hasn’t takers over the family business, his brother Andy isn’t someone to mess with Andy is famously protective and spoils Zach endlessly.”
Marilyn’s assistant nervously chimed in
How did those idious manage to provoke Zach Marilyn angrily questioned.
“When they stopped Hayden and Courtney, they coincidentally crossed paths with them. Their reckless driving annoyed Zach. The assistant didn’t know why the situation escalated with the Cramer family.
Marilyn gasped, wondering if she had bad luck. “What a bunch of useless fools
“Director, we’re in deep trouble! Reporters have gathered outside the hospital, and even patients are causing a scene at Hensburg General Hospital,” the assistant rushed in clearly alarmed.
*Courtney recorded your conversation and shared it online. Someone must be promoting it behind the scenes because it’s exploded in popularity: In just three hours, it’s gotten nearly a million views
Courtney didn’t edit the recording. She shared it in full However, the netizens were quick to extract all of James and Marilyn’s arrogant comments.

Now, there was no way the Reed family
Marilyn trembled with anger as she looked at the trending topics and the online buzz. “Courtney!” If word of this reaches Douglas of the Reed famdy, she’d want to kill Courtney.
“Ms. Cramer, das issue has now affected Bred Group, I’ve heard loads of people are blowing up the phones at Reed Group’s front desk and HR department
Marilyn stared at the assistant in shock, her vision going dark, mid she nearly fell onto the sofa.

James was clearly agitated too. Everything else was minor. The big issue was Marilyn’s marrying into the Reed family
Marilyn gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. “We can’t let Courtney be so reckless. Call Austin, and if he doesn’t sort this out, he’ll face the consequences! The Lewis family will sever all his connections in Hensburg.

After all, he’s already divorced Vera. If something happens to her, he’ll be in trouble tool” Austin had worked hard to get to his current social status and would never give it up for someone like Courtney.
“Ms. Cramer, The housekeeper approached nervously. There’s a call from the Reed family. Mr. Reed wants you to come over.”
Douglas had obviously heard the news. With such a big fuss impacting them, Douglas would definitely be looking for Marilyn.
Marilyn took a deep breath, looking nervously at James “Dad, what should we do?”
“You go ahead and calm him. Say it’s malicious editing on the other side. I’ll deal with Courtney and suppress the online issues as soon as I can. James reassured Marilyn, “Remember, if necessary, you’ll have to protect yourself even if it means severing ties.”
In the worst case scenario, they could blame everything on Vera and let her bear the consequences for a few years. It was better than ruining the future of the Lewis family.
If the Lewis family lost the strong support of the Reed family, it would be incredibly dificult for them to move up
in Henisburg.
Marilyn gritted her teeth and nodded. “I get it, Dad. I know what to do now, but what about Courtney? Have you come up with a way to shut her up quickly
James sneered.
“She returned from the battlefields of South Weidan with PTSD. As long as Austin, her husband, signs the papers, we can legally put her in a mental hospital.” james squinted. “David from Henisburg Mental Health Center is my student. He knows what to do.”
Even if a sane person went in there, they’d find a way to drive them crazy, let alone someone like Courtney, who didn’t have strong mental resilience to begin with.
