Chapter 1716 Was It Sean’s Work?

Cindy quickly took the phone to check out the news and found that the number of views wasn’t quite high. In the

news, someone reported seeing Ian and her at the entrance of the hospital, which happened to be where Bryce

had been admitted to. Hence, that person speculated that Ian had brought Cindy to the hospital to visit Bryce.

Cindy quickly took the phone to check out the news and found that the number of views wasn’t quite high. In the

news, someone reported seeing Ian and her at the entrance of the hospital, which happened to be where Bryce

had been admitted to. Hence, that person speculated that Ian had brought Cindy to the hospital to visit Bryce.

The whole article was based solely on someone’s random statement without providing any concrete evidence.

Cindy raised her head and looked at Ian. “Is this the work of someone under the company’s instruction?”

Ian took out his phone to browse the online news before shaking his head. “It doesn’t seem like it.” His gut feeling

was that it was Sean’s doing.

If it was done by the company, instead of just launching a mini attack, they would have grabbed the opportunity to

reveal everything that they had on hand. On top of that, based on the number of views, it did not conform to the

company’s usual style.

Therefore, Ian rose to his full height and stated, “Give me a minute. Let me make a call.” With that, he returned to

the room and directly called Sean.

Sean’s phone rang for a while before it was picked up. It was rather noisy in the background with shouts of males

and females, and it was so rowdy that Ian couldn’t hear anything clearly.

Sean spoke in a low voice on the phone. “I’m occupied now. I’ll call you back later.”

Ian agreed and Sean immediately hung up.

Before the call was ended, Ian vaguely heard a woman shouting the words ‘last will’, which stunned him as he held

the phone in his hand. Only three people from the Morgan Family would mention the word ‘last will’ in front of Sean.

However, that person had quite a high-pitched voice, probably because she was in a fluster when she spoke that

caused her tone to change. Therefore, Ian couldn’t recognize if the voice belonged to Leah or Sally. Nonetheless,

after this incident, he could more or less gauge the truth behind the news online. He reckoned that it was Sean’s

work in order to enrage that three people.

Only if the mother and her children continue to create problems would Bryce force himself to be more biased when

writing his will. This showed that Sean was even more cunning than him.

Ian smiled at the thought. It was fine to him too since he didn’t covet Bryce’s will. In fact, he would be more than

happy to see Bryce favoring Sean more when he distributed his wealth.

Holding his phone in his hand, Ian left the room and saw that Cindy and Aurora were still seated next to each other

as they talked about the online news.

After a while, Cindy, who noticed Ian standing at the door, raised her head to look at him with a slight smile on her

face. “Who do you think could have posted the news? It seems to me that this person sided with you.”

Ian didn’t pay much attention to what she said, but his gaze was locked on her face. Her smiling expression was one

that Ian had always seen in the past, but when he saw it again now, he seemed to feel his heart pounding

vigorously in his chest. And so, he went over and sat next to her. “However, based on the number of views, this

news didn’t seem to make any large impact.”

Cindy nodded. “Anyway, I’m still glad that someone who sided with you made a statement.”

Aurora suddenly cast a glance at Ian. “Who did you call earlier? And what did you ask?”

“I called Sean,” Ian explained. “I wanted to ask if he was the one who posted the article, but he was occupied and

wasn’t free to talk. He said that he would call back in a while.”

Feeling surprised, Aurora asked, “Was it Sean’s doing? Why did he post an article like this?” She was puzzled by his

actions because based on the Morgan Family’s wealth and capability, it would be a piece of cake for them to hire

trolls to escalate the issue if they intended to help Ian to make a turnaround.

Nonetheless, after the article had been published, the number of views and comments on the news weren’t high

even up to this moment, and there weren’t any follow-up reports. Truth be told, this article practically had zero

effect.

Leaning against the couch, Ian chuckled. “He must have his plans, or perhaps he did this for his own sake.” As a

businessman, Sean must have his motive no matter what he did.

Aurora’s expression calmed and she gave it some thought, then gently nodded after she seemed to have figured

things out.
