The Returning EX (John and Sophia)
Chapter 1716

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 lan and her at the entrance of the hospital, which happened to be where Bryce had been admitted to. Hence, that person speculated that lan 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 lan and her at the entrance of the hospital, which happened to be where Bryce had been admitted to. Hence, that person speculated that lan 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 lan. "Is this the work of someone under the company's instruction?"

lan 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, lan 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 lan couldn't hear anything clearly.

Sean spoke in a low voice on the phone. "I'm occupied now. I'll call you back later."

lan agreed and Sean immediately hung up.

Before the call was ended, lan 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, lan 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.

lan 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, lan 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 lan 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."

lan didn't pay much attention to what she said, but his gaze was locked on her face. Her smiling expression was one that lan 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 lan. "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 lan 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, lan 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.
