Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan)
Chapter 945 Peaceful Breakup

Chapter 945 Peaceful Breakup

The public relations department of the Williams Group was meant to handle rumors, but they never expected that the rumors would become so intense and take a turn towards the love story between Mr. Williams and Jenna.

The employees were unsure of what to do, so they gathered online comments and reported them directly to Rhys.

"What is this? When did Jenna and I go to a haunted house together? And almost get into a car accident? Were they filming a movie?" Rhys looked over the comments with furrowed brows.

He had married Jenna under duress, both of them clueless about each other before their wedding. How did it turn into such an affectionate relationship in the eyes of netizens?

"At first, netizens were defending you, Mr. Williams. But slowly they started saying that you and Jenna are perfect for each other. Now there are even fans shipping you two," explained an employee patiently. It was all too unbelievable for him, but unfortunately true.

"What are we waiting for then? We need to suppress these rumors immediately! It's all nonsense!" Rhys' expression turned sour as he spoke.

He had planned on dealing with his mother for a few more years before replaceing an excuse to divorce Jenna and regain his freedom. These online rumors needed to be dealt with quickly.

"Yes sir, we'll take care of it right away." The employee nodded in agreement while feeling like pulling out their hair from stress.

After much thought, they decided on buying some juicy gossip from entertainment circles and releasing it publicly in order to divert attention away from Rhys' personal life.

Rhys felt depressed about everything while Mrs. Williams couldn't have been happier upon seeing all the positive feedback online; she even exclaimed several times how she knew that they were destined for each other despite starting off on bad terms at first!

"I just knew they were meant for each other! Although things started off unpleasantly between them at first, things will only get better as time goes by! Soon enough I'll be able to hold my grandchild in my arms. I must take good care of it myself!" She said excitedly while thinking about becoming a grandmother.

"That's right, Mrs. Williams! This is truly heaven-sent fate." The servant agreed wholeheartedly while massaging her back gently.

"Yes, these two children are meant to be together. Oh, I remember the Stout family has a son. Go and invite him back. I heard their house is in terrible condition and not fit for living. When his mother is discharged from the hospital, we'll give them a new house to live in. Let them move out together." Mrs. Williams instructed.

The Williams family was not lacking in money at all, so a mere house was nothing to them.

As long as Rhys and Jenna were in a good relationship and they could have a child soon, even if it were ten houses, she could afford it.

"Yes, Mrs. Williams. I will go pick him up tonight," the servant quickly agreed.

The Stout family had really struck gold by having such a good daughter; their whole lives had improved because of her.

Mrs. Williams wasn't an unreasonable or wicked mother-in-law; she was even more lenient than most mothers-in-law - Miss Stout had really married into the right family!

That night when Rhys and Jenna returned home, they unexpectedly found someone else in the living room.

"Sis! Bro-in-law! You're finally back!" Keaton ran happily over to Jenna: "Mrs. Williams said during Mom's hospitalization days, I should stay here temporarily with my own independent room which is actually a big suite!"

Beforehand at the Stout Residence, he slept on the sofa with that gambler while Mom and his sister shared one bedroom altogether. The living room environment wasn't great, and his dad would often come back late at night muttering some dirty words under his breath, so he hardly ever got any sleep at all!

Now things were different; he had an independent room himself!

"As long as you like it." Seeing her brother's happy expression made Jenna sigh again. Thankfully, Rhys wasn't like her deadbeat father. Aside from not loving her, he was perfect. Otherwise, even if the Williams family gave her more money, she wouldn't have children with him.

She and her brother already lived very hard lives; they couldn't bear watching the children repeat those tragic experiences again.

"Thank you, Mrs. Williams! Once my mom wakes up, I'll make sure my little brother moves out as soon as possible." Jenna walked over next to Mrs. Williams quietly thanking her.

These past few days she'd been worried about where Keaton would go.

"You're my daughter-in-law, no need to be so polite with me. I just hope you and my son will be happy together, Jenna. You're a smart girl, you should understand what I mean," Mrs. Williams held her hand and thought of her father, feeling a bit more affectionate.

This was also a poor child.

Jenna nodded. "I understand."

Of course she understood. Mrs. Williams was hinting that she should live well with Rhys.

But some things were not up to her.

Rhys had someone else in his heart, no matter how much she wanted it otherwise. She even had to cooperate with him to deceive Mrs. Williams.

Jenna looked up and noticed the sincere smile on Mrs. Williams' face; the guilt in her heart grew stronger.

During dinner time, Jenna was absent-minded and returned early to the study room.

Soon Rhys came in too holding a plate of fruit. "Mom asked me to give this to you; she's afraid you'll go hungry."

"Rhys, I don't want us to continue pretending anymore." Jenna couldn't hold it any longer as tears streamed down her face.

She had endured too much; these things were like mountains pressing down on her chest making it hard for breaths escape from within.

"Don't you see? Mom believes wholeheartedly that we have good feelings towards each other but lies can only last for so long before they are exposed one day," She couldn't even bear thinking about it.

"But Mom has heart problems! It's bad to tell the truth now. Also, if we get divorced, then Mom will arrange another blind date for me." Rhys refused without hesitation.

Compared with blind dates, he felt more comfortable living like this now.

"But how long can we keep hiding? The longer we drag this out, the greater damage there will be when everything is revealed!" Jenna felt extremely uncomfortable inside; if Mrs. Williams wasn't treating them well, then she wouldn't think about these things at all!

Unfortunately, Mrs. Williams always considered everything for their sake, giving them enough face, but they found ways to deceive her.

Both fell silent afterwards, and no one spoke

"Three months. You give me three months, and I'll replace the right opportunity to come clean with Mom. Then we can get a divorce and end this ridiculous marriage. When that time comes, we can go our separate ways without any trouble, and it'll be a peaceful breakup."
