Chapter 48 I'll Go for Her
The black car slowly stopped in front of the Pearson residence. Filip got out of the car, raised his hand,
and rang the doorbell.
Soon, someone inside the villa came out.
Steward was pleased to see Filip, "Mr. Pearson!"
Filip was in a bad mood.
He nodded and went into the villa.
It was dinner time for the Pearson family.
When Filip went up to the second floor, Frances was having dinner.
Martha saw Filip first, "Old lady, Mr. Pearson is back."
Frances stopped eating. She turned her head to look at Filip who had come over. "Eat first."
Filip nodded and went to the bathroom to wash his hands.
The Pearson family had a strict table manner, but it did not include "No speak on the table."
If it was in the past, Frances would have asked about what Filip was up to recently.
But today, Frances didn't say a word. They ate in silence. The atmosphere was weird. Martha on the
side felt a little embarrassed.
After eating, Frances got up and sat down on the couch.
Martha made tea. Filip sat on the side and started the conversation. "Grandma."
Frances snorted, "You still remember I'm your grandmother."
Filip pursed his lips, lowered his head slightly, and did not speak.
Frances looked at him and put down the teacup. "I never interfered with your affairs, when you and
Starry were married, although I was dissatisfied with Starry's identity, I did not stop you."
"You are the only child of the Pearson family. You have to take up the burden even if you don't want to.
I only hope you can marry someone you love and live a peaceful life. That was why I accepted Starry."
"I was angry that you divorced Starry, but I didn't stop you. Starry treated you very well in the past five
years, I can see it. I felt your divorce was a pity but I didn't really force you to do anything! But now,
look at what Lucia is doing! She hadn't even married you yet, yet the reputation of the Pearson family
had already been ruined by her!"
"I feel so sorry for Starry. She married you for five years yet got nothing but blame. Where did you learn
those dirty tricks?"
Frances was really angry after seeing the news online. It was not only because she felt sorry for Starry.
The outsiders might think that Lucia was despicable.
But those inside of the circle might blame it on the Pearson family.
Lucia bullied Filip's fiancée so brazenly, yet Filip just looked at it coldly without doing anything. That
was an acquiescence.
Starry didn't do anything wrong in the past five years. She always appeared as an elegant lady. She
didn't even say one bad word about us after the divorce. Yet she was treated unfairly.
Rich families all cherished their reputations. Some only care about reputation. But the Pearson family
had always been upright.
Now, Frances had received several ill-intentioned phone calls today because of Lucia. She had
reasons to be angry.
Filip looked at Frances, "Grandma, I'm not with Lucia."
He said, paused, and then added, "I won't be with her."
Frances frowned when she heard him. "Then why are you still protecting her? The friendship between
the Pearson family and the Scott family is deep, but you don't have to protect her at the cost of our
reputation!"
Speaking of this, Frances immediately decided. "Ask Robertson to make a statement, I don't care how
you write the statement, but you must explain your relationship with Lucia!"
"Okay, Grandma."
"These things are all caused by you, you have handled them! As for the Scott family, I don't care about
the business, but the social relationship, I don't mind cutting it off."
Filip didn't like Lucia, yet Lucia could still do such things. No one knew what she would be capable of in
the future,
Frances could see through it, and she was angry, but since Filip explained it, she understood.
Filip helped Lucia mostly because of the friendship between the two families.
"I see, Grandma, don't be angry."
Filip was concerned about Frances's health. So, he obeyed her words.
Seeing that Filip listened, Frances was less angry. "Starry has suffered a lot these days, you should go
and apologize to her."
Filip's face froze.
He was angry at Lucia. But he was also kind of angry with Starry, although he didn't know why.
Frances was dissatisfied when she saw his face. "What is that expression, is it you who had suffered?
Besides, why are you even angry? Starry didn't blame you."
Filip didn't retort. "I'll go apologize to her."
Frances leaned back on the couch, "I know you're busy, I don't bother you for now."
Filip glanced at Frances, "I'll come back to visit you another day."
"I don't need you to come back, I know you hate me!"
Filip knew that she said this because she was angry. He looked at Martha, who was beside him: "Aunt
Martha, thank you for taking care of grandma."
"It's my job. You should also get some rest, Mr. Pearson."
"I will."
Filip then left.
The car was still parked outside the villa, Filip sat in the car, but he did not leave immediately.
He did listen to Frances. But even if Frances didn't say it, he would have to make the statement. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Lucia would never stop. He had forgiven her for the sake of the Scott family.
On the Internet, Lucia was scolded fiercely for the things she had done over the several months. Even
Filip was attacked.
Austin had been waiting for Filip's call. Having worked for Filip for so many years, he knew him well.
As expected, he got a call from Filip.
After hanging up the phone, Austin immediately asked people to make the statement on the official
account of the Eternal Group.
The content of the statement was extremely simple. There were only a few sentences. "The date of Mr.
Pearson and Miss Lucia Scott is just a rumor. Mr. Pearson and Miss Starry divorced peacefully only
because they had different concepts of life. We'll take legal procedures in response to online rumors
that Mr. Pearson retaliated against Miss Starry."
After the statement came out, Lucia was scolded even worse. The Scotts got anxious.
