Chapter 179: He Felt It Ridiculous
Edward only ordered someone to expose what Bobby did. As for Aiden, too many people wanted to kick him when he was down and followed the trend to slander him.
The game company was in the preparation stage, so Edward spent another night there. Justin called him early in the morning. He thought that something had happened at home, so he answered it quickly.
"Uncle Edward."
"What's the matter?"
Justin asked, "Do you know Aiden?"
Hearing Aiden's name, Edward subconsciously felt uncomfortable in his heart. "Why do you ask about him?"
Justin said, "I saw Aiden on the news, and he was implicated by someone else. People scolded him harshly."
Edward said, "What does it have to do with you?"
Edward didn't sleep all night. Hearing Justin's words, he couldn't react. After a moment of silence, he said, "I'll call you later."
He hung up the phone and checked the top few hot topics online with his phone. At that time, several hot topics were about the same thing, Aiden, Bobby, the alumni of Y University, and the president of Unrivaled Culture.
If Justin didn't mention Jane, Edward might not know the truth. After all, she seldom talked in front of Edward. She wouldn't speak unless he asked her something. However, Justin's words made Edward feel that those comments were written by Jane. He had a feeling that it was something she wrote. Her words were not only righteous but also domineering and aggressive. This was Jane. When Beth touched Jane's sore point back then, Jane could go fight with her alone directly.
She was protecting Aiden in her way.
Edward couldn't forget Justin's unintentional remark. Jane valued Aiden very much, so she wouldn't miss her appointment with Aiden. Besides, Edward witnessed how delicate she was when she was with Aiden. However, Jane was cold and serious when she was with him.
Edward wanted Jane to know that her cognition was not exactly right. However, he didn't know that Aiden had an unassailable position in her heart, and she admired Aiden from the bottom of her heart.
Edward couldn't tell how he was feeling. At first, he was mad, and the inexplicable rage bubbled just below the surface of his mind, making him feel that Jane was so hateful. However, on second thought, he knew that Aiden wasn't the one who put in drag. Even if Jane knew Bobby did that, she wouldn't have a bad impression of Aiden.
If someone around Aiden made a mistake, she wouldn't vent her anger on Aiden, but what would she do if someone around Edward made a mistake? Edward thought about it mockingly. There was no doubt that Jane would think he was as immoral as the initiator of evil.
To put it bluntly, she was biased, and she treated different people with different attitudes. Edward suddenly felt it ridiculous. Maybe Jane had long known that it was Bobby who did that, and perhaps Aiden told her about it personally. She chose to deal with this matter with a low profile, but he did all these things and wanted her to know who was good and who was bad.
Edward wanted to laugh. He would rather laugh at himself than look angry.
Edward called Justin back and said blandly, "Are you sure it was written by Jane?"
Justin said, "It's very likely."
Edward said, "She must have her reason to speak for her boss. Your worry for her is unnecessary ."
Justin said, "The haters online speak so harshly, which makes me mad."
Edward replied, "Even she's not mad. Why are you mad?"
Justin said, "How do you know she's not mad? She's right. It's not Aiden's fault. Why don't those haters scold the one who made the mistake but scold an innocent person?"
Edward asked, "Are you sure that Aiden has no responsibility for this matter at all?"
Justin didn't know why Edward said so and replied, "Aiden is Bobby's classmate and boss, but so what? Bobby is an adult, and he's not Aiden's relative. Why should Aiden bear the consequence for him?"
Edward wanted to say that Aiden had to bear the consequence for Bobby. How could he just dismiss Bobby? Was this what Aiden did for Jane? Did Jane accept it with peace of mind?
If Edward wasn't by Jane's side that night, would someone else protect her like that? Could Jane say that Aiden shouldn't be implicated so reasonably?
No, he couldn't think about it carefully, or he would be terribly
exasperated.
Edward said, "She is an adult and can be responsible for her choice. You don't need to worry about her, and I don't need to deal with the aftermath behind her back. Do you know what she wants? You think you do this for her good, but maybe she'll think you're interfering in her business. Well, I'm busy. Bye."
Edward hung up the phone and couldn't calm down no matter what. He threw his phone aside.
He knew Justin didn't do anything wrong, and he shouldn't have talked to Justin so harshly, but he couldn't control himself. In fact, he was the one who interfere in her affairs.
He didn't know Jane at all, let alone what she was thinking. It was only his wishful thinking, and he got a slap in the face in the end.
He sat in the office alone with a fit of the sulks. The assistant knocked on the door and asked if he wanted to eat anything. He said no and sent the assistant away. He was too angry to eat.
As soon as something bad happened to Aiden, Jane made a long speech to defend him. What did she mean? Was she confessing her love in this way?
Since she was so brave, she couldn't be afraid of being universally condemned... She was not afraid indeed. She even dared to fight a group of people, let alone attack the haters online. She was always eloquent. After all, Justin was so obedient to her.
It was very good! He always hated cowards who hid behind others, but she was brave and excellent, and she was not inferior to a man. He'd like her to help Aiden, and he waited to see if Aiden would be grateful to her.
Edward thought a lot in a short time. For a moment, he hated Jane so much, but then he thought Jane was really awesome and she was qualified to be the private teacher of the Smith family.
Edward felt that he was insane. Either of his thoughts was reasonable. After thinking about it, he suddenly felt very tired at a certain moment.
What was he doing? Was he so angry just because Jane suspected that it was him who drugged her but it was not him?
It was not a big deal. She had known who drugged her. Therefore, what did he want?
As for whom she believed, whom she wanted to protect, and whom she favored, what did it have to do with him?
Edward got great discipline. Once he figured it out, he wouldn't be bothered by it anymore. In the future, he had nothing special to do with Jane, and they were just employer and employee. Nothing else mattered as long as she could teach Justin well and do her job well. As for other things... he shouldn't think too much.
