Back at home, Marina was still in fear. Those media that wanted news were too crazy. She could feel that if it were not for Jane’s help, she would definitely be stopped there and forced to answer a lot of questions.
Marina had nothing to do with Felix, but Noemi looked too similar to Felix. It was quite misleading and Marina just couldn’t clear herself.
Marina sighed. Being a star was a really difficult job. Felix even couldn’t eat outside.
The crazy fans not only liked their idols’ acting. They wanted to get more and more news about their idols, gossip and personal life. The more mysterious their idols were, the more attention they paid to their idols.
“Noemi, Nicole, take a bath first. And let’s go to sleep after the bath.”
Tonight, Nicole was scared by the crazy reporters. Marina decided to let Noemi sleep with Nicole. She also prepared hot milk for them to drink before sleeping.
Lying on the bed, Marina took a deep breath and felt sore all over.
She turned on her mobile phone and found that there were many WeChat messages. Messages from Lola and Claudia were most obvious since they directly asked her whether she was the one in the news.
Was she on the news?
Marina opened Weibo and found that the app had stopped working because of excessive traffic. She reloaded the page many times and finally got in.
The paparazzi were more powerful than the media. They even took a picture of Marina and Felix ordering dishes together. Although there was only her side face, judging from the way of dressing, it was obviously her.
Her daughter Nicole was also exposed and nobody tried to protect Nicole.
How immoral was the media that they did not even let a child off!
Marina was very angry, but she had no experience with these things and did not know how to deal with them.
Felix’s phone could not be connected for the time being. He had to do PR, right?
“Jane, are you asleep?”
She had just befriended Jane on WeChat. Marina thought for a while and finally chose to send the message.
It was so late and she shouldn’t disturb Jane now, but Marina was a little panicked and helpless. She did not care about the gossip but had to protect her daughter.
“I was just about to sleep.”
Jane rubbed her waist. Because she had left her husband at the entrance of the roast duck shop, she had been “punished” by William when she got home. At this time, she had just freed herself from William.
“There is something I don’t know what to do.”
Marina told Jane her worries, and Jane said there was no problem.
Discussions about the news were getting hotter and hotter. Even Jane couldn’t block the news.
Felix was not an ordinary actor, but a genius actor who had won an international prize. Jane also felt the situation troublesome.
“I will let the media cover Nicole’s face. As for Noemi…”
Jane was not sure. She had to discuss with the media to see if they would agree.
“Janes, thanks to you, how much should I pay? You don’t have to save money for me, as long as you can help Nicole…”
Marina was only concerned about her daughter now.
Half an hour later, the news changed the headline. Not only was Nicole’s face covered, but also Marina’s face was covered. What a surprise!
Marina thanked Jane, but Jane replied with confusion. “I didn’t ask to cover your face. The media rejected my request immediately. It seems that someone has intervened. It might be your husband, right?”
Marina didn’t know what to say.
It should be impossible. Didn’t that bastard go abroad?
Marina’s mind was in a mess, and she fell asleep with the red wine.
The next morning, the doorbell rang.
Marina thought that Jane was here and hurriedly got up from the bed. The moment she opened the door, she only felt cold.
Ryder stood at the door with a gloomy face. He stared at Marina for a long time before walking into the door.
“You … Why are you here?”
Marina woke up instantly and swallowed her yawn. She pinched herself and found that it was not a dream.
Shouldn’t Ryder work on a project abroad? Why was he here? Was he here for the news?
“Why can’t I come?”
Ryder didn’t find any traces of a man, so he sat on the sofa.
He and Marina were in different time zones. Before the project meeting began, he received a piece of news on his mobile phone. The news was just a scandal between Marina and Felix and the picture was very clear.
Ryder didn’t try to find who sent him the message. He immediately canceled the meeting and boarded a private plane, heading straight to City J.
“No … We, aren’t we divorced?”
Marina shrunk back, trying to be not guilty. It was just a meal with Felix. Couldn’t she have friends? Ryder was questioning her and she was unhappy about it.
She did not expect that something like this would happen and the media would take a photo of her.
“Divorce? I have not signed the divorce agreement.”
Ryder stood up and pressed on Marina’s body. He stared at her sharply and said word by word, “As long as we din’t officially get divorced, you are a member of the Langdon family. What you do not only represent yourself but also the Langdon family.”
Marina really went too much. She had only been free for a short time and she did something like this.
Although the topic was removed in time, the picture was still there. The Langdon family would be laughed at in the upper class again.
Ryder had not been so angry for a long time, especially when he saw Marina looking at Felix with a smile. The two of them looked familiar with each other, which made Ryder mad.
Even if he didn’t want Marina, she was still once his. How could others take her away from him?
This crazy idea sprouted in his mind, making him unable to control himself.
Thinking about it, Ryder decided to give up on the project and return to City J to catch Marina’s lover.
“Looks like our divorce agreement needs to be changed. Give up on custody of Nicole.”
She had only been with Nicole for a few days, but something like this happened. Ryder decided to take back Marina’s custody of Nicole.
“What?”
Marina was stunned. She was in a daze when she was faced with his anger just now. Now she came back to her senses and immediately exclaimed, “Why?”
Nicole finally left the Langdon family and was happy. Marina could not imagine what would happen when Nicole went back without her.
Did Ryder want to leave Nicole to a woman like Maeve?
“Marina, this is not something that you can decide.”
Ryder sneered. It seemed that Nicole and Marina were both restless. His grandfather was right. He should just lock them up to reduce the trouble. How could he suddenly turn soft?
It was the best choice to end the trouble now and in the future.
“Ryder, you can’t be so dominating!”
At the mention of Nicole, Marina was very excited. She forgot how much she was afraid of Ryder and argued, “Nicole likes me. If she’s back to the Langdon’s with her, who will be good to her then?”
A child without a father or mother’s love would never be well-educated no matter how rich his or her family was.
Besides, Nicole was different from normal children.
