Love Mission: Ex-wife Strikes Back

Barton pictured Jean as a gentle, polite, and generous young lady. How could she be the person the media was portraying her to be?

He instinctively felt that the press must have made this up. Oftentimes, these media outlets would publish spicy articles in order to attract attention and boost their ratings.

"They dare make up stories of my daughter! These people must have some sort of a death wish!" Barton frowned. "Zoe, call these publishers and tell them to withdraw these false reports as soon as possible, or else I'll make them suffer."

"I'm sorry to say this, Mr. Xiao," Zoe looked at Barton in embarrassment. "I'm afraid they're not making this up. I have reason to believe so."

"What do you mean?" Barton looked at her in confusion. "You think these reports are true?"

Zoe took a deep breath. Perhaps it was time to be honest with him. "Yes," Zoe replied.

From the fir

"I always thought you were a pretty decent girl, but the media outlets are saying otherwise. I actually doubt what they were saying, just to let you know.

But no matter how much you like Terence, you shouldn't have done such a thing."

"Uncle Barton, please don't listen to this media nonsense." Jean smiled bitterly. "It's not like what they said."

"So, what's the truth?" Barton looked at her coldly. He could indulge her with gifts and spoil her to death, but he couldn't let her act improperly, especially in public.

He looked very serious. Jean knew that if she couldn't make up a good explanation today, this whole charade would be exposed.

She lowered her head slightly, and on cue, her tears streamed down. She looked very aggrieved.

Barton got anxious at the sight of her tears. He offered her a tissue, saying, "What are you crying for? I was just asking casually."
