Chapter 430: Are You Keeping Something from Me

Joseph walked into his room and just as he closed the door, the assistant called.

“Master, these photos are clearly candid ones. The camera is in your room.”

Joseph walked to the side of the bed and took a closer look, yet found no trace of a camera.

“Master, I’m afraid the evidence has already been destroyed. It must be one of our own guys; outsiderscan’t succeed so easily.”

The assistant was a little helpless, “It is pointless to look for the source of the photos now. Moreimportantly, the photos have already been spread out.”

“I know.” Joseph turned on his laptop.

He took a look at the social media; the photos of him sleeping with Emily were all over there. And therewere even some videos.

Fortunately, someone had come in and interrupted them before it was too late.

Otherwise, if something did happen, Emily’s whole life would be totally ruined!

How malicious was the person who posted the photos!

And who would that be except Wendy?

It was really surprising that this time, even he was defeated.

“Master, these photos are spread so widely now that the public seems to be certain about their versionof your relationship with Miss Emily.”

The assistant was a little hesitant, but he had to say it.

“Master, with these photos online, it’s definitely not the time to reveal Miss Emily’s real identity.”

“I know!”

This was what Wendy was up to.

Even if Emily was the real Miss Gale, the public mustn’t know it right now.

Otherwise, their affair would make the Gales a mere joke.

And such a joke -- such a stain -- would never be cleared.

So they couldn’t reveal Emily’s identity at will.

Wendy wanted to use the public opinion to threaten them.

As long as they tell the public that she was the fake Miss Gale, she would immediately admit that Emilywas the real Miss Gale.

At that time, though it wouldn’t hurt Joseph very much, Emily would be sure to bear the brunt and sufferlike hell.

“Do some digging on the celebrities and cover this up completely.”

“Yes, I’ll try my best.”

The key was that their opponent was stirring up the ruckus at the same time.

In City L, the affair of Joseph, the master of the Gales and the last president of the Gale Group, wasprobably not something that would be covered up by celebrity affairs.

So he could only say that he would try his best.

Joseph didn’t say anything else. Hanging up the phone, he scanned through the articles and photos onthe Internet again.

He was thinking about several people.

Who would be the person behind Wendy?

Could it really be Hunter?

Emily was his woman, but didn’t he care about his own woman at all? Really?

If this were to be leaked, the rest of Emily’s life would be, most likely, totally ruined.

Hunter, if it was really you who was behind all this, would you regret it in the future?

…

Emily got up early in the morning and tidied herself up.

Seeing that her complexion was a little pale, she even put on some powder today to make herself lookbetter.

If Grandpa could wake up, he would definitely be worried when he saw her pale face.

“Milo, let’s go.” She went downstairs with her handbag.

Milo felt a little complicated when he saw her.

After hesitating for a while, he said, “Miss Emily, there isn’t really any news from the hospital. Howabout you just stay at home today? Don’t go out.”

“Why? I want to see Grandpa.” Emily blinked and walked over to him, a little puzzled. “Didn’t we have adeal?”

“No, but the Old Master is still the same today. If he doesn’t wake up, it would only be a waste of timefor you to visit him.”

“That is different. I have to go to the hospital to take care of Grandpa. How could I be at ease to leavehim completely to other people?”

Emily tilted her head and stared at his face, “Milo, you seem to be really troubled. Are you keepingsomething from me?”

“Of course not!”

Milo responded too fast and appeared to be somewhat guilty instead.

Emily frowned, and her doubts grew even heavier.

“Milo, are you … really hiding something from me?”

“How can an old man like me hide anything from you?”

“Okay, then let’s go.” The more he delayed, the more Emily was worried.

However, Milo had received a mission today, and that was to try his best to keep her home.

What if they run into the reporters when they go out …

Milo was really worried that without Joseph being here, he would not be able to handle these things onhis own.

“I... Well, Miss Emily, I... Since the hospital said that the Old Master is fine, why don’t we... why don’twe go see him tomorrow...”

“Milo, just tell me honestly, did something happen to Grandpa?”

Emily’s heart skipped a beat. The more she thought about it, the more she was sure that this was thecase.

She turned anxious, “Milo, if you don’t take me, I’ll go myself. I can drive myself!”

Something must have happened to Grandpa, or Milo wouldn’t be so hesitant.

What exactly happened? Did the situation get worse?

Emily turned around to leave without further thinking.

“No, no. The Old Master is perfectly fine. Miss Emily, listen to me. He’s really fine.”

Joseph had gone out early this morning and looked very busy. He must have to deal with a lot ofthings.

Both Lottie and Sasha had gone to the company. So, he was the only one who could accompany Emilyin the family.

Joseph had said that Miss Emily was in poor health, so how could he let her go out on her own?

“Miss Emily, I’ll go with you. I’ll go with you now. Don’t panic.”

Although Emily was pregnant, she was still young and walked much faster than Milo.

Chasing after her, Milo was nearly out of breath.

“Miss Emily, I’ll go with you. Don’t worry, don’t … I can’t do it. My stomach!”

Milo suddenly covered his stomach and screamed, “Miss Emily, my stomach hurts; it hurts so much!”

Emily was stunned. She stopped and quickly turned back.

“Milo, how are you? Are you alright?”

“I... I’m out of breath!”

Milo was clearly short of breath as his old face flushed red.

“Miss Emily, my stomach hurts when I walk too fast. Please don’t let me chase after you so hard.”

Seeing that his face was really red, Emily felt a little guilty.

“I’m sorry, Milo. I just …”

“It’s fine, it’s fine. I know. You’re just worried about the Old Master.”

Milo had no choice but to go with her right now.

“Don’t panic. He is really alright. I’ll go with you to the hospital right now.”
