HIS CONTRACTUAL MISTRESS

Chapter 347 - The Trending Topic



Chapter 347 - The Trending Topic

Later that day, the news of Eva Lan's death was in every TV station's evening news. Questions arose if it was purely intentional by the other prisoner or by someone behind it.

Now that brought up this question, people began suspecting Shen and Lopez of the case.

"They killed my daughter!" Julia Lan cried during the press conference.

The Lan family accepts all interview requests. Their lawyer held a press conference, and Julia Lan was present.

Julia took this as an opportunity to at least make Hilda suffer from backlash, her way of taking revenge on her. Julia won't let Hilda live a peaceful life since Vincent never treats her daughter as his wife.

Meanwhile, the others were in the Home Theater room to watch the evening news.

Hilda, who was seated on her throne, heads high while watching Julia Lan speak. No emotion could be seen on her face.

The maids that could enter the room constantly looked in her direction. Everyone was curious about what was on her mind now.

"I know the madam would never shake this kind of accusation." one maid whispered to Hailee's nanny.

"The madam would not feel guilty when she does nothing." The nanny replied.

"You are right. Madam Shen is only tough and meticulous in everything, but she is actually not the kind of person who would hurt others."

"However, the Lan family seems to accuse her daughter-in-law. Do you want to hear what I heard when Madam Shen learned about Miss Lan's death?" Hilda's nanny chimed in the gossip of the other maids.

The other maids and nannies nodded their heads, anticipation exhibiting in their eyes. At the bottom of their heart, they were dying to hear it. Hilda's nanny went on,

"Madam Shen was furious. She instructed everyone not to tell, nor let the young madam hear about the news. She doesn't want the young madam to overthink, and it will affect her pregnancy. There is no one Madam Shen wanted to protect but her daughter-in-law who bore the heir of the Shen."

"Not only that, they were princes or princesses of the Davies family." Hailee's nanny echoed.

The other maids concurred with that statement. They carried on gossiping; however, butler Roberto coughed and shot dark glares at them.

'These people dare to gossip about their employers when they were right there in front of them!' Butler Roberto thought, preparing his long speech later once work was over for the day. He will lecture these maids real good.

Later on, after they watch all the news regarding Eva's death, Hilda waves her hand to turn off the TV.

Instantly, butler Roberto pressed the remote control and shooed the maids to go outside and waited at the door. They wanted to protest as they tried to listen to what Madam Hilda would say about it.

The nannies wink, conveying the message that they will definitely hear it later.

After the giant screen turned off, everyone began giving their opinion and what steps they should take.

"Mom, we should hold our press conference," Sheena suggested.

Hilda stared at her youngest daughter for a long time. After a minute of silence, Hilda heaves a long sigh then spoke,

"I think being the spokesperson or the PR team director is the right position for you."

Sheena smiled and replied, "I would love to, mom! Hear what was on my mind! First, we should—"

Sheena stopped talking after her mom lifted her right hand.

"Alright. I know you have so many things running through your mind. But if I let you take that position, I can't imagine the results…." The truth is, Hilda doesn't want to imagine what the PR Team would look like if Sheena took it over completely.

So Hilda thinks of a better way. "Okay. Be the PR Team Consultant before they must do anything."

Sheena knew her mom was not serious enough to appoint her to be the PR Team director of Shen Group and everything that their family owned.

Anyway, being a PR Consultant is not bad at all. She is the right person indeed!

Afterward, Hilda stood up from her chair and walked toward Hailee and Vincent, seated at the corner of the room as she advised the couple earlier not to expose Hailee's pregnancy to the screen.

"Hailee, don't worry about this matter. It will silence it sooner, and I will take care of it myself, and so, you and Vincent go back to Australia to focus on preparing your wedding."

"Okay, mom. I trust you." Hailee said no more words; she believed these were the best short words Hilda had to hear.

Everyone thought that Eva's death would severely affect the family, but it didn't become a big deal as they handled it perfectly because of other people's opinions regarding Eva. It really helps a lot.

Aside from that, even if the news releases accuse Hailee as part of Eva's death, people do not believe it.

"What would Miss Davies get after she ordered to kill Eva Lan?"

"I seconded to that! Miss Hailee Davies is super rich! She has no reason to kill Miss Eva Lan!"

"What are you all talking about? Our princess is the kindest person in the world! If she had the intention of killing Eva Lan, she should have done that a year ago!"

"A year ago? What happened a year ago?"

"Who are you? You seem to know a lot about Miss Davies."

One comment stirred everyone's curiosity. Now because of this commenter, it shifted all the attention toward her or him. They aren't sure, but all the netizens are dying to hear new gossip, and they felt like there was a mystery in this commenter's comment.

"I don't personally know Miss Davies, but I heard enough information here in Australia. Miss Davies had no ill intention toward Eva Lan, even if she is the reason her first engagement called off."

"What? Was Miss Davies engaged before? To whom?"

"To her best friend."

"Who's a best friend? Miss Davies had a lot of hot male friends!"

"Please, tell us!"

"I have no right to name that person. But one thing only I could say… Whoever that guy is, he and Eva were in a long-time relationship, and they went to the same Academy in the US."

"OMG! I know who you are talking about! But yes, we have no permission to mention any name. Wait, a minute? When did Eva and Mr. Shen got married?"

"Three years ago! Hello everyone! Citizens of Metro City here! So what about this guy and Eva? Tell us! We are dying to know!"

"Eva came to Australia over a year ago to beg Miss Davies' best friend to get back together. The guy actually disagreed, but Eva did the trick to separate him from Miss Davies. Imagine that Eva is actually married, but she is still chasing her ex."

"Oh, my gosh! Eva Lan, who cheated first!"

"Miss Hailee just quietly left Australia and mended her broken heart. But no one thought she fell in love with Mr. Shen instead."

"Wow. But did Miss Davies know Eva is married?"

"I don't think so. Or maybe? But what I know, Miss Davies is not in love with her best friend, and the marriage is just agreed so that Liam Huo would stop chasing Miss Davies."

"Huo's who?"

"Who's that? The name is familiar."

"Gosh! He is a terrorist! He was the one who bombed Shang Casino and Hotel in Las Vegas that killed and harmed many celebrities!"

"Guys, Liam Huo is associated with Senator John Gu and the Lan family to assassinate Mr. Shen!"

"What???"

"Gosh! It has become complicated! Is this not just a love triangle but square!"

"I think I understand now!"

"Ah! Enlighten me! I am lost!"

"I can't follow the story anymore! I felt dumb now! So the four of them are connected to each other?!"

"Yeah! We want to be enlightened with this!"

"Guys, you have forgotten that Miss Davies and Mr. Shen will have an exclusive interview! Maybe we will find out the answer after we watch it?"

"Ugh! I can't wait! It seems like I can't sleep thinking of the answers!"

"We should leave questions!"

"Yes! But where should we post our questions?"

"Why don't we google it or find any articles about it?"

"That's right!"

In the next minute that has passed, Sheena is not the only one who receives appeal on her social media accounts but also Jessie.

Not only that, but they also gain more followers and subscribers.

"Oh, my gosh! They stormed all of my accounts!" Sheena was shocked when she started receiving thousands of notifications.

Jessie was also confused why suddenly she was flooded with comments. "Where these people came from, and they were asking the same questions. Who is Liam Huo? Who is Miss Davies' best friend—Eva Lan's ex-boyfriend? What is this?"

Sheena rushes toward Jessie and begins reading the comments on her Instagram and YouTube channels. "They are also asking the same question."

"They demanded that I should include these questions to ask Hailee and Vincent."

"Let's check the trending topics and hot news." Sheena began searching on her phone. "I need a laptop, or can somebody do an investigation?"

"I'm on it!" James quickly pulled out his phone from the back pocket of his jeans, then dialed a particular contact. "Sandy? Can you run research about a trending topic regarding the princess?"

"I will email all the data."

"What? You—!" James was speechless. Although he knew this guy was reliable for this kind of job still, it surprised them sometimes. "You, bastard! You are sneaky as always! I actually wanted to beat you up after you keep a secret that the princess is doing a lot of tricks out here in Metro City!"

"What tricks?"
