Mona’s  heart almost broke when her tiny baby girl gazed at her, and she murmured softly, "One more month at most, then I'll come to see you, okay?"

Rue’s  eyes showed a tinge of disappointment, yet she still agreed like a child.

Luke, who had been seated next to Rue, eventually spoke up after his sister and mother were done chatting. He said in a bossy voice, "Are you in trouble over there? Do you need me to step in and help?”

Mona laughed, but she knew her young boy well enough to say, "Don't worry, I can handle the problems here. Okay, if something really hard comes up, I'll ask for your help.”

Luke hummed in agreement. He was already a five-year-old little man who wanted to take care of his mother and sister.

Mona didn't want to finish the video connection after having a nice discussion with her two kids. As soon as she hung up, Williams called and said, "Miss Hunt, Mr. Cox is out of the country on business. Harmony Pierce, the Cox Group's deputy general manager, will take over our joint project for a short time.”

Mona sneered, "In that case, we only need to send our deputy, Bruno Grande." She was thinking about what had happened the night before.

Williams could tell there was some tension between the two, but he just agreed. After taking care of business, someone knocked on Mona’s  door again.

She was astonished since it was so busy on the second day she was back in this sky city. She opened the door and, as expected, saw Conan, who was very angry.

"That son of a bitch Leo Cox!" Conan was so angry that he ground his teeth at the memory of Leo carrying Mona away right in front of him the night before. The guards who had tried to stop him had all been told off in front of everyone.

He watched Mona’s  face closely and said, "He didn't do anything."

Mona’s  smile faded a little. "What could he do to me? Don’t worry!”

Conan finally let out a sigh of relief when he saw that she was okay.

"Haven't you seen the news today? There are a lot of stories about Sydney’s pregnancy online. Leo has to marry her. And you’re being called a mistress." he said as he showed Mona his phone.

“Where did this false information come from?”

Conan  hurriedly put his phone in his pocket and said to Mona, "Some idiots are spreading rumors online. Don't look now; I've got it.” He then stepped to the window and made a call, frowning the whole time.

Conan ridiculed her a lot, yet he was the Gray family's heir. Why had he suddenly grown so serious? Mona thought about it for a moment before checking her phone. The most popular topic on T*****r was #Sydney Pregnancy#, which was accompanied by a giant red "Breaking" symbol.

Another hashtag that was getting a lot of attention quickly was #Mona Hunt, the Mistress #.

Mona clicked on this topic with a frown on her face. It seems that the scene of Leo dragging her away the night before was filmed from a really clever position. Sydney  was in the background, holding her stomach and looking sad as they went. The photo didn't show her face clearly, but the fuzzy side view was enough for anyone who looked closely to know who she was. There was a lot of bad comment in the post.

{Is it really that easy to break up a home these days? Doing this in front of the wife?}

{The mistress and everyone in her family should die.}

{ Mona Hunt is so shameless! Such a slut.}

{She’s already divorced Leo Cox, and now she can’t leave him to be with Sydney Harlow. She’s so shameless}

Conan, who had just gotten off the phone, saw Mona reading the comments and his heart skipped a beat. "What are you doing?" He ran over and took her phone, "I've already ordered people to stop talking about the trending topic. Why are you reading what those stupid individuals have to say? They don't know anything.”

Mona was shocked by the terrible things others said, but she quickly got over it. She had to comfort Conan because he was so worried about her.

"They are strangers; their words won't hurt me." She had gone through worse things over the years, to be honest.

Conan  finally nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of this." The trending topic was indeed hidden, and Mona’s  images were no longer visible.

Conan hadn't even had time to relax before his phone buzzed  loudly with a message that Sydney Harlow  has tweeted.

Conan’s face got really black. He would have to be an idiot not to know that Sydney  was doing this on purpose.

Mona  picked up his phone and accessed i*******m again.

{They are both divorced, so they don’t have anything anymore. Please stop accusing her} was what Sydney posted.

It seemed like Sydney  was supporting Mona and Leo, but in truth, it just made people even more angry. The subject that had finally been put to rest was once again trending, with more and more people making up stories online that seemed plausible, sending Mona farther into the abyss.

Soon, people found out that Mona was Miss Hunt of the Hunt family, which caused the Hunt Group's stock price to drop.

But the Cox family was not affected. Mona laughed when she saw this. Were they picking on the weak?

"Let them rant," she said to Conan, who was about to smash his phone in frustration. Her face was calm. The more noise, the better.

Conan’s nerves calmed down a lot when he saw her so calm. He had always understood that she wasn't a rash person.

At that moment, the Hunt family called. "Mona! You're a disgrace to the Hunt family.” A nasty voice said from the other end of the line.

Mona’s  face stayed blank as she put the phone down on the table next to her and waited for the yelling to finish before picking it up again. The voice on the other end had indeed changed to that of a middle-aged man.

"Mona, you not only snuck out of the country, but now you've made such a mess of things when you got back! You need to ask Miss Harlow  for forgiveness right away, whether you do it on your knees or another method. If you don't, don't blame me for being cruel.”

When Mona heard her so-called father talk like this, she laughed in a mocking way and said, "Aren't you most aware of what happened back then? Why don't you fix it?”

"You're crazy!" Mr. Hunt exclaimed in disgust, "To clear it up now would be to openly offend the Cox family!"

His voice got a little softer suddenly. "Say you're sorry to Miss Harlow and ask for her forgiveness. I'll still let you be the Hunt family's daughter." If not...”

"Then I won't be the so-called daughter anymore," Mona said with a scornful tone, then hung up and blocked the number.

Conan looked at Mona with worry and asked, "Are you okay?"

"No," she said, shaking her head. "They can't affect me." She had given up on the Hunt family a long time ago, and they sedated her to Leo’s bed. She made a few calls and got all the proof ready in a calm manner to get back at Sydney.

Sydney laughed out loud when she saw people online calling Mona names. Mona’s  reputation was tarnished, and even if Leo were to redeem her name later, it wouldn't help.

People would only think of Mona as a homewrecker and not pay attention to the explanation. Sydney told her agent. "leak Mona’s information quietly, including her address if you can."
