After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities -
Chapter 771
Chapter 771
“I didn't blame either of you," Mrs. Wright took some ointment andapplied it to Jenna's wound, "The incident has already happened, andthe media has been fueling it. The Ritter family wants to see uscondemned by public opinion.”
"Now we need a new trending topic or something else to suppress theheat of this matter.”
"But... our Wright family has always been law-abiding, and there is nodeep background behind us. Compared with those big families inUrgford, our family is insignificant,” Mrs. Wright felt a little sad.
Brayden looked at his mother's expression and couldn't help but say,"Mom... how about calling Grandpa?"
Mrs. Wright chuckled softly, "Since I cut ties with your grandfather'sfamily back then, I can't go back to them again. When there is a willthere is a way."
“I shouldn't have acted impulsively and implicated my dad,” Braydenlowered his head.
"How about I apologize to the Ritter family?" Jenna whispered, "If itweren't for me, this wouldn't have happened.”
"Jenna, we definitely cannot apologize because we are not at faulthere. They have always been framing our family and forcing us to bowdown," Mrs. Wright said seriously. "I know you feel bad inside but it'sokay; I believe that our Wright family won't be so fragile.”
After Cody came out of the examination room he was pushed into theward by a nurse.
He just heard what Mrs. Wright said: "Honey, you're right; our Wrightfamily isn't easy to defeat.”
“I've sent my assistant out looking for evidence now," she continued.“It will all come out in due time," Cody sat on the bed.
Just then another trending topic appeared on Twitter - plastic surgeryhospital murder case.
#Plastic Surgeon Tragically Dies#
The first few tweets were normal enough but as they went on thingsstarted getting weirder.
"As an official parent in Urgford, what is Cody doing?"
"Why isn't he taking action?"
"He's responsible for making Urgford so unsafe!"
"We're too scared even leave home now.”
"Cody, hurry up solve this case!"
Brayden was furious. "How could they blame my dad for such a seriouscrime like murder?"
"These people are going too far! Solving cases should be handled bypolice headquarters!" Jenna's face turned red from anger as she spokeup loudly
“It's obvious that they bought fake followers to attack our family,” Codysneered. "The more the Ritter family jumps around, the more desperatethey seem. Let me see what they are capable of."
Did they really think Cody was a pushover?
Did they think he could be controlled by the Ritter family?
If he were weak, he wouldn't have been able to become Larro's right-hand man on his own.
By nightfall, public opinion on social media had reached a boiling point.Almost everyone knew about Brayden's violent behavior towardswomen.
The video had an alarming number of likes and comments, especiallyshares.
Although there was no sound in the video, you could see Brayden'sterrifying expression and how hard he squeezed Ashlyn's neck.
Some people who were familiar with the Ritter family called to expresstheir sympathy and concern.
"Miss Ritter has suffered so much. The Wright family is too arrogant!"“This Master Brayden doesn't know his limits. His future wife will sufferfrom domestic violence for sure."
"Yes, Miss Ritter, don't worry. I'm on your side."
Some celebrities also began speaking out one after another since TheRitter Group had a place in Urgford as well as some small stars underits capital umbrella who started standing up for Ashlyn too.
Hezekiah McCarthy: As a man myself, I feel ashamed of Brayden. Howcan someone hit a woman? If you're brave enough go catch thosethugs who killed plastic surgeons instead!
Sofia: I can't stand watching this anymore! A man treating a woman likethis is disgusting! Shameful!
Titus Lancaster: a guy resorting to violence deserves condemnationfrom everyone!
Meredith: I'm so sad for Miss Ritter and all women who have beenvictims of violence like her. Down with violent men!
Ashlyn looked at all these people supporting her on Twitter with joywhile sitting comfortably on her living room sofa.
"I fell down back then but now it seems worth it."
Mrs. Ritter sat down beside her, "Of course it's worth it. Now the Wrightfamily is like a rat crossing the street, everyone is cursing them.Whoever sees them has to say something bad."
"With such intense public opinion, will the President replace him? Willmy dad take his place?" Ashlyn happily popped a strawberry into hermouth.
“It depends on whether those in the cabinet will continue to speak wellof your father. If they are willing to stand up for him and if thePresident's attitude softens..." Mrs. Ritter couldn't help but laugh, "Thenyou won't just be a corporate socialite, you'll also be someone that allother socialites try to suck up to."
The more they thought about it, the happier mother and daughterbecame. When Mrs. Ritter was happy, she gave Ashlyn two hundredthousand dollars without hesitation and said: "Go spend it with yourgirlfriends over tea.”
"Mom... two hundred thousand seems a bit too little? You know Katiealways has so much pocket money; either from her sister-in-law orcousin... our family only has me with no siblings or in-laws giving meany pocket money," Ashlyn held onto Mrs. Ritter's arm while actingcute,"Give me some more please?"
Mrs. Ritter tapped her nose playfully, "Sly girl"" She then gave anotherfifty thousand dollars saying, "Spend wisely."
Donovan came downstairs and saw his wife and daughter laughing likeblooming flowers; he also had an elated expression on his face,"lsthere good news? Why are you so happy?"
"Dad, the Wright family is being cursed online left right center! Aren'tyou unhappy about that?"
“I haven't taken office yet, so we can't get too excited too soon,otherwise we'll end up disappointed for nothing," Donovan pretended tohave a serious expression but couldn't help smiling.
"Honey, you're always too cautious at home; nobody else can see usbeing happy," Mrs. Ritter picked up a strawberry and placed it nearDonovan's lips,” Don't say anything negative because I'm sure you'lltake office eventually! Then I'll become Secretary's wife."
Donovan felt flattered by his wife's praise.
Just then, Ashlyn's phone rang; she saw that Katie was calling, so sheanswered while popping another strawberry into her mouth.
"Katie, is everything okay? Why are you calling this late?"
"Ashlyn, something happened! Look at Twitter quickly! There might benew information regarding Brayden hitting you!" Katie sounded nervousas she spoke, " Is what they're saying true?"
Ashlyn didn't hang up the phone in confusion, instead she switched toTwitter. There she saw a trending topic that caught her attention.#Ashlyn insults Jenna!
#Ashlyn hits Jenna first
#Brayden stands up for his sister
What is all this about?
She clicked on these three topics one by one and was dumbfounded.There was an interview video posted on the trending page.
A reporter was interviewing a passerby who had a work badge hangingfrom their neck. The badge clearly indicated that they worked at thepiano association building.
The employee's name and ID number were blurred out on the badge,and their voice had been altered as well.
“I had just finished work and walked out of the building when I sawAshlyn humiliating Jenna at the entrance. I didn't even know who theywere before this incident became so popular these days."
The reporter asked him, "What happened then?"
"At that time, Jenna was standing at the entrance when Ashlyn cameover and insulted her first. Then she pushed Jenna down. Many peoplewitnessed it, including me. Brayden happened to see it too while gettingoff his car and got angry when he saw what happened. Ashlynprovoked him with words again.”
"That's why Brayden fought back," said the reporter nodding frequently."Yes, yes, yes," replied the employee affirmatively.
Then several other passersby from inside of that building wererandomly interviewed by reporters as well:
"Oh, I wasn't there that day.”
"l don't know about this incident.”
“I do know about it though; I was there." And then this person explainedwhat had happened at that time.
After finishing all these interviews, reporters waited outside for moreinterviews to come.
Watching this video left Ashlyn feeling completely blank in her head.How could things have turned out like this?
Donovan stood up angrily from his couch: "Damn Cody! He's sosneaky!"
"Honey, don't get mad yet; let's think of how we can handle things first."Mrs. Ritter quickly tried to calm him down.
Just then, another trending topic appeared at top of all others with anadded exclamation mark:
#Ashlyn bullies old lady in mall
"Bullying an old lady? When did you ever bully an old lady?" Mrs. Ritterfelt a headache coming on; why did everything seem to be happeningall at once?
Ashlyn was still in a daze, unable to recall anything. "When did I everbully an old lady? I don't even interact with them normally!"
"Is Cody deliberately framing you?" Donovan also leaned over to lookat Twitter with his daughter and wife.
Then they saw it...
Ashlyn was dumbfounded.
“This thing happened a long time ago. At that time, I ran into Sylvia andFranklin at the mall, and I had just had a conflict with an old lady. Howcome there's still video of something so long ago?"
"You!" Donovan glared at her helplessly, his voice full of annoyance.“You've been spoiled by the family all this time!"
