Chapter 948

Alden was wearing a pair of checkered pajamas, yet the lazy, casual outfit could not hide the
ruthlessness in his eyes.

He pursed his lips and coldly said, “I‘ve already blocked the surveillance footage, but Sean Gardner‘s
interview has been reposted more than millions of times, so it‘s incredibly hard to delete it completely.”

Every time he removed one, a few hundred would pop up at the same time, so he could not remove
them all.

Duke walked over and calmly said, “Removing the footage isn‘t the solution for this.” Alden nodded. “If
Mommy isn‘t cured, this will keep happening. Daddy, you won‘t be able to cover it up one day.”

Duke cast a glance at Alden. It looked like Alden still had not given up on the blood replacement
treatment.

Duke pursed his lips. “Let‘s solve this first.”

He sat in front of the desk and made a few calls.

“Jake, acquire 20% of Gardner Corporation‘s retail shares in three hours. Don‘t worry about the price.”

“Mr. Gardner, you should know why I‘m giving you a call without an explanation.”

“Mdm. Xavier....”

Mdm. Xavier rarely watched the entertainment news in the Xavier family‘s mansion. She only knew that
something serious had happened after she received a call from Duke. No wonder Sophia had returned



to the Xavier family‘s mansion last night and stayed overnight. It turned out that this incident had
occurred.

After Mdm. Xavier hung up, she saw Sophia walk down the stairs with an anxious face. Her expression
turned cold.

“Come here.”

“Grandma.” Sophia walked over.

“I still have many things to do. I‘ll come and talk to you later.”

“Tell me what you‘re planning to do.” Mdm. Xavier leaned back in her chair, and an imposing aura filled
her blurry eyes.

“What happened last night? Explain everything clearly!”

“I...”

Sophia lowered her head and bit her bottom lip. She only saw the news when she woke up and
scrolled through her phone in the morning.

[Sean has been admitted to the hospital with severe injuries, and he has been interviewed by the
reporters. Adina‘s violent personality is once again being discussed by the netizens.]

It had been five hours from midnight until now, and this news had already surpassed the scandals of
popular celebrities because it was ranked number one on the trending list.

“Duke just called me,” Mdm. Xavier said indifferently.



“Addy hit Sean, her cousin–in–law because he and his mistress mistreated you. Now that Addy is being
criticized by the netizens, you know what you should do, right?” Sophia pursed her lips.

“I was going to see the reporters in the hospital. Grandma, I would do it even if you didn‘t ask me.”

She did hate Adina and disliked Adina‘s self–righteous behavior. She even hated Adina for receiving all
of their grandma‘s love despite the fact that her family name was not Xavier. However, all that was
beside the point
