Chapter 102 Deal with nuisance 1
The kids went off to their own thing – classes, training, exercise, and so on. They were both home-schooled and had a set routine.
Liliana was aware that being her kids and Jonathan’s kids came with its own set of responsibilities, other than the privileges. She meant to groom the kids well so they can ease into their roles or find their own footing when the time came. At the same time, she wanted the kids to enjoy their childhood until they came up to a certain age.
Finally, Jonathan and Liliana sat down to discuss the issue at hand – their scandal which was still very much hype after three days.
“How do you want to deal with this?” Jonathan asked Liliana. He had been absent from work the last two days and everyone seemed to take his absence as admittance.
“Aren’t you the one being called a home-wrecker?” She joked.
“This is your play. You are the boss.” He emphasized as he was in no mood for fun.
“You are no fun.” She snorted. “Resolving my part of it is easy. I can upload the entire video from the restaurant and hospital and let everyone know it’s a deliberate attempt to blacken my image.”
“And?” He could sense her reluctance to take the next step.
“As a woman, I would rather not ruin Vivian’s image completely.” She sighed, “As much as I want her to be accountable for what she had done, I don’t want to release the footage of what had transpired. I am a public persona, doing something so distasteful would lower the bar of how a woman should be treated and how we should fight back.”
Jonathan looked at her in admiration. He had never really thought about things like that. It was an eye for an eye approach for him and he conformed to his own standards. He did not care about others.
He thought for a while and said, “How about I sue the posters and publicly ask Vivian to clarify her stance on the matter?”
Liliana nodded, “Let’s do that first. I am not optimistic, but let’s try that.”
Jonathan said, “Alright then. I will set the two things straight from my end. I am off to work now and I will see you in the evening.”
Liliana looked at him for a second before she asked, “Do you want to meet your shadow? You realize you have not asked anything about that.”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Jonathan only smiled at that, “I don’t want to, not yet. There’s nothing to ask. I should thank you for protecting me.”
Liliana blinked several times before asking, “Do you not blame me?”
Jonathan shook his head, “No, I don’t. You have not violated my privacy or restricted me in any way. There’s nothing to mind.”
Liliana bit her lips unsure of what to say. Jonathan rubbed her head and said, “Don’t think too much. I will go to work now and come back soon. Let’s have dinner together with the kids.”
Liliana nodded and he left with a smile.
Jonathan’s eyes turned cold as soon as he exited the gate.
He called Vincent directly and asked, “What have you gathered? What’s your plan to deal with this nuisance?”
Jonathan treated Vincent like a family and groomed him in all things rather than asking him to execute his orders directly.
This helped Vincent immensely in his personal development and also eased Jonathan’s burden as he could leave the company in Vincent’s capable hands when he wanted a break.
Vincent also kept an elite team of specially recruited people and trained them to work in his stead.
