My Fiance Ran Away On Our Wedding Day
Chapter 69

Chapter 69 

After the conversation, the atmosphere became calm again.

In the next few days, both of them tactfully skipped what happened between them.

Even though Anika was still a little embarrassed at the beginning, she gradually returned to her usualstate when she was with Zac.

On Thursday morning, she took half a day off and took Callum to go through the rest of the formalities.

Callum was in a bad mood and didn't say anything while he sat in the hall.

After completing the formalities and leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, Callum followed behind Anika andgot into the car.

His chubby little face hesitated for a long time before he suddenly asked, "Sis, will you still visit me?"

Anika was slightly stunned while she helped him fasten his seat belt.

She said ambiguously, "If there is a chance"

She always had to consider Zac's mood and was unwilling to make promises to Callum because shemight not be able to make them.

Callum lowered his head and whispered, "When I get to Auntie's place, I won't be able to see Momanymore"

Anika was silent.

She nodded lightly.

Not long after the last visit, Georgia told the police about the part of the confession related to herhusband, Jason Burks, and also provided a strong piece of evidence.

Although several aspects of the case required further investigation by the authorities, Jason should notbe spared the horrors of imprisonment.

Not long ago, Anika brought Callum to see Georgia for the last time and told her that Callum was goingabroad.

Thinking of this, she smiled at Callum and asked softly, "Callum, do you hate your older brother?"

During this period, Zac's attitude towards Callum was by no means gentle.

Callum did not dare to say anything in front of Zac, but they were very harmonious in many details.

Sometimes, Anika could not understand their attitude towards each other.

Hearing Anika's question, Callum knitted his eyebrows.

After a while, he shook his head and said, "Actually...He's not annoying.I know that Mom did somethingwrong and was taken away by the police.

"The teacher told me that if a person does something wrong, he will be punished."

Anika smiled and touched his head, "It's good that you understand.’

‘Georgia was still considered a mother, at least she had nurtured Callum well and did not instillresentment towards Grayson and Zac in front of him.Anika had just sat in the driver's seat when shereceived a Viber message from Alena.

Alena texted, "Nika, where are you now?"

Anika typed and replied, "I just took Callum out of the formalities and sent him back to thecompany.What's wrong?"

Alena replied, "Have you seen the gossip post?"

"About what?"

Anika asked After a while, Alena sent her a link with a title: "Picking up the inside story of a certainwealthy personality and how her marriage changed"

Anika's eyebrows twitched as she clicked on the link.

Ten minutes later, she finally finished browsing the long post.

She also understood what Alena meant.

The main character of the post had already been decoded.

It was precisely Maxine, whom she had met not long ago at YX Studio.

Not long ago, news that Maxine and her non-showbiz husband had been separated for a year caused astir.

It was said that the man insisted on refusing to divorce, and had been dragging on with all sorts ofexcuses.

In this post, it was said that Maxine had recently gotten close to a certain CEO and her resources weremuch better.

This made her ex-husband feel pressured and had no choice but to go through the divorce proceduresas soon as possible.

Among the various descriptions, the person who had a deep relationship with Maxine was herhusband, Zac.

The informant had even dug out Maxine's credentials, proving that she had been separated for a yearand had known a certain president for a long time.

Anika was still lost in thought.

After a moment of silence, she was interrupted by the ringtone of her phone.

She frowned and picked up the unfamiliar call.

Hill Building, President's Office.

Zac had just finished his meeting with the people from the M&A Department in the conference roomdownstairs.

He returned to the top floor alone.

After looking at the empty desk, he frowned and dialed the internal line.

Two minutes later, Frederick knocked on the door and entered.

Zac put the document aside and rolled his eyes.

"What's for today?" He asked.

Frederick coughed softly and hesitated, "Sir, Miss Meyer...may not have ordered lunch for youtoday.Zac frowned, somewhat surprised.

After thinking for a while, he felt that Anika had forgotten to order food for him because she was toobusy preparing for their honeymoon trip.

‘Forget it, Tony will come over with food later.I'm still not hungry anyway”

"What, is there something else?"

Zac looked at Frederick, who had a conflicted expression.

Frederick slowly nodded, "There's something .."

Halfway through, he handed the phone to Zac.

After glancing at it, Zac's voice sank, "Who is this woman?"

On the screen, the marketing agency put together the photos he had been secretly photographed atthe cocktail party with an unfamiliar woman and even made up a scandal.

Frederick paused for a moment before returning, "This is the host who will interview you later.She wasalso the spokesperson for YT's product line that was set up not long ago."

Previously, Zac had used a reason to escape an exclusive interview about the wedding.

He turned around and asked Frederick to take the exclusive interview instead.

‘But how could I know what the host looked like after the interview?’

Thinking of this, Zac's voice turned cold, "Did you just say that Anika didn't order lunch for me?"

Frederick knew that his boss didn't want him to repeat what he said, so he didn't dare to reply.

"So you want to tell me that my clean reputation has been tarnished by a scandal for no reason?"

Seeing the boss's expression, Frederick carefully said, "I've checked.Maxine and her husband areliving apart and are getting divorced.Perhaps they want to use your name to force the other party to

sign the divorce papers."

"Use my name? Who gave them the right?"

"Maxine's spokesperson was recommended by Vice President Poole.I heard that...she and the vicepresident were classmates for a few years.’ Zac almost laughed angrily.

He closed his eyes and rubbed the space between his eyebrows.

His slender knuckles punched the table, "Go and ask the public relations department to clarifythis.Now"

Frederick immediately agreed and turned around to leave.

"Wait.” Zac called out to him, his eyebrows were furious.

The next second, Frederick heard a cold voice.

"Where's Tony?"

Ten minutes later, Tony pushed open the door of the President's office with extra caution.

As soon as he entered, he put on a flattering smile, "Bro, were you looking for me?"

The man handed over a cold gaze.

Tony swallowed his saliva and then cried, "I didn't know this would happen.Maxine's mother is myjunior high school headteacher.She was the most suitable spokesperson for YT, so I chose her.

"Bro, I was wrong.Don't worry! As soon as I saw the scandal, I rushed to Director Sants and asked forAnika's phone number.I already explained it to her”

However, when Anika answered the phone, she did not say anything.

It made Tony unsure of what she felt.

Zac's expression was cold and stern.

At this moment, he was breathing heavily.

He didn't know how to vent his anger.

He glanced at Tony and saw that the bag in Tony's hand was not for lunch.

Then, he said with a frown, "What is that?"

"Durian."

Tony hurriedly opened the bag.

"Bro, I just asked the errand boy to buy it for you.Sometimes, men have to take the initiative"

"I heard that this divine fruit can make a wife calm down.If Anika is still angry, just put it close toher.Perhaps she will be soft-hearted”

Hearing this, Zac sneered, "You caused trouble, yet you”
