You Are The Pursuit of My Life novel Chapter 38

After Jordan left, Thomas cleaned up the mess. Since Irene's feet were injured that she couldn't do a favor, she laid on the reclining chair as she surfed the Internet. Because of Edric's aggressive questioning last night, she opened the TV station's blind date program's website to see what had happened. Irene was extremely shocked.

Looking at those harshly condemning posts and people who threatened to reveal her ex-husband and evil mother-in-law, Irene got a headache. Things seemed to be developing in an unknown direction. This wasn't what she wanted to see. She called Kinsey and asked, "Kinsey, how do I make these public outcries disappear?"

"I was just about to call you." Kinsey replied, "It's true that we didn't expect things to turn out like this. Now, it's not just about people wanting to reveal your ex-husband and your mother-in-law, but a series of posts doubting your authenticity also appeared this afternoon. People who sent the posts believe that you and the TV station conspired to do all this for fame and publicity. There was never any scumbag, evil mother- in- law, or mistress. That post was immediately reposted many times. It was so quick that I suspect Edric was involved."

"Him? I don't think he's that bored."

"It's hard to say. Now, the Internet is full of public outcry against you. Although no one knows that the evil mother- in- law and the scumbag are his mother and him, as a concerned party, he must feel as disgusting as swallow flies when he sees such a post. He will definitely find a way to get things out of the way."

"He came to see me last night," Irene told her about how Edric came to see her last night.

Kinsey sneered, "What reason does he have to come to you? Irene, you are too kind. If it were me, I would definitely reveal his name. It would not only make him bear the pressure of public outcry but would also ruin the mistress' reputation."

"Forget it. It's all in the past now. Kinsey, I really don't want to have anything to do with him, do you understand?"

"I know. I'm just indignant. Irene, you don't know how disgusting Edric is. To suppress those verbal attacks, he asked someone to call our chief operator and said that he didn't sponsor the TV station's program to create hype around a certain person. Our chief operator felt extremely pressured and specifically held a meeting to talk about this matter. He told everyone to come up with a feasible plan to solve this."

"Is there a plan?"

"Because the incident arose because of you, everyone suggested we create a special blind date for you so that you can find a man who is in love with you as soon as possible. As long as you find the person who is in love with you, and as long as you leave, this incident would definitely die down."

Kinsey told Irene the content of the TV station's meeting that day. "Now, we're choosing a blind date candidate for you. There was a continuous stream of people who signed up. The news of the selection contest at noon today has reached thousands of people. I'm confident that you can find a man who would truly love you and have mutual commonality with you."

"I hope so!" Irene sighed. Kinsey had tried her best. This matter would be settled like this. Among the sea of people, she hoped that she would find a person who would stay by her side for the rest of her life.

The person who called to put pressure on the TV station wasn't Edric, but the Executive Assistant John instead. John knew everything about Edric and Irene. When he saw his boss being condemned, he naturally became displeased, so he called a high-level executive of the TV station to pressure him.

Because of that phone call, the TV station's public relations team had immediately changed its strategy. They began to report on Irene's blind date profusely. Although, as a result, it lessened the condemnations against the wicked mother-in-law and the scumbag ex-husband, it wasn't a good thing for Edric.

When he turned on his computer and saw the TV station openly recruiting marriage candidates for Irene as a TV show, he became infuriated and scolded John. "Who asked you to call them? Did you have nothing better to do?"

"I was just angered by those comments..." John felt wronged.

"I would rather be scolded than see her choose a man! Jerk!" Edric was angry, but John said nothing. His boss had finally spoken the truth.

Upon seeing his beloved woman chose between men like a queen, no man would feel good. He had indeed done wrong regarding this matter and deserved to be scolded.

Jordan was also furious about Irene's blind date on live TV. He sneered at Irene and said, "See how popular you are now. Your name has spread so far!"

"Isn't it all thanks to you?" Irene glared at him. "If you hadn't gone, I would have been able to stay here the entire time and receive my reward in silence. Now, my reputation stinks because of these rumors."

"Those words definitely don't reflect what you truly think!" Jordan looked Irene up and down. "You must feel very smug inside. After all, this is a special blind date program for you. To put it bluntly, you are picking men. Don't you have the feeling of a queen choosing her consorts?"

"Jordan! You sharp-tongue simply can't say anything pleasant!" Irene glared at him.

"You see, I've acted as cannon fodder for you, so shouldn't you at least thank me? Just thinking about it infuriates me. I've risked my reputation for you for a while, but how did you treat me? You didn't even reciprocate. How can I bear to live with the shame in the future?"

"Thank you, my foot!"

"Irene, I'm serious. If you can't find anyone you like this time, we might as well get together."

"What do you mean?"

"I've been caught in the crossfire anyway. I'm sure I won't be able to find a woman in the future, so we might as well suck it up and spend the rest of our lives together."
