Chapter 2348: I Need an Explanation

“You might not believe it but she’s that maiden who suddenly jumped out and asked me when I was going to marry her,” Mag said with a shrug.

“It’s her?” Irina exclaimed.

However, her expression changed very quickly. She sized Mag up for a while before saying, “I am suddenly suspicious of if that was really fiction.”

“Your suspicion is baseless.” Mag kept a straight face.

“Why would she be so deep into her character, then?”

“She was too absorbed in the novel she had written that she could not tell reality apart from fiction. That was why she behaved like that. After analyzing it this way, I seem to be able to understand why she acted that way back then.”

Irina propped her leg up on her other leg and looked at Mag with a smile as she said, “In that case, how do you intend to resolve this?”

“I’ve observed her today. She did not seem to have expected that the novel would cause such a reaction.”

“So you intend to let her off?”

“No. Since she’s already done it, she should bear the responsibilities that come with it.” Mag shook his head gently. “However, I do want to find out who was the one who purposely directed the novel to seem to be a reality. That fellow is way worse than her.”

“You think someone is trying to go up against you?” Irina was shocked.

“If they knew that I am Alex, they naturally would not dare to have such thoughts. However, if it is Mag, there are many people out there jealous of Mamy Restaurant’s business,” Mag said with a smile. A restaurant owner could not do much.

“Interesting. I just came back and here’s a drama already. Are they trying to test the lady boss?” Irina’s expression turned cold.

......

The next day, after the morning operating hours, mag contacted the Gray Temple information system and used some special rights to check if anyone had been purposely directing discussions on Mamy Restaurant.

The efficiency of using public resources for his personal use was indeed high.

A short information report was soon sent to Mag.

“Delmar and Cyril. Can’t believe these two actually ganged up on me.” Mag smiled coldly as he looked through the report.

Delmar Publishing House did so to increase the sales of the book. Therefore, he even changed the book’s name and even indicated that it was based on a true story during the book’s launch. This successfully caused hype that boosted the sales of the book.

Cyril’s name also appeared in this process. Cyril had provided immense help to Delmar and he even bribed several book stores to spread dirty stories about Mag to ruin his reputation.

Mag could more or less understand Delmar’s actions. After all, it was tied to the benefits affecting him. There are many people around doing anything they could for their advantage.

However, what was Cyril doing trying to ruin his reputation when he should be thinking of how to make a comeback after losing to Gloria in the heirs’ rivalry.

Although Mag could not understand why he would do that, it did not change the fact that he wanted to make these two pay a price.

Mag rode to Delmar Publishing House on his bicycle. before he even reached, he saw Cynthia, pacing about at the publishing house’s door from afar.

“What is she doing here?” Mag stopped and stood close to a wall as he watched Cynthia pace about at the door of the publishing house hesitantly.

Cynthia did not appear to be in a good condition today. She had dark rings under her eyes and she appeared to have not slept the previous night.

After a while, she appeared to have made up her mind. She looked up at the signboard and walked in with resolution.

Mag found that interesting. He put away his bicycle and flipped over the walls of the publishing house. He found Delmar’s office and stood in the corner with his ears close to the wall.

“What?! You want me to remove ‘Boss Mag’s Indecent Little Wife’?”

Delmar screeched with shock and rage.

“Yes, I found out yesterday that this book has already caused a lot of trouble in Boss Mag’s life. It has even hurt his family. This is something that I did not expect. I am very guilty and I feel very sorry towards Boss Mag. Therefore, I wish that this book can be taken down immediately. At the same time, I will write a clarification letter to let everyone know that this book was just fiction that I imagined. It has nothing to do with Boss Mag. Boss Mag is a good man.”

Cynthia spoke firmly.

Mag nodded slightly. This girl knew nothing indeed. Besides, she even came out immediately to stop this and even tried to make amends. She had a conscience.

“Hmph! Do you think the book will be taken down just because you want it to be?” Delmar snorted coldly. “You’ve received a large sum for the story and now you want to have the book taken down. Who then is supposed to be responsible for the losses of our publishing house? Do you take us to be fools?

“Let me put it to you this way. There is no way this book will be taken down. Not only will it not be taken down, I will even find someone to turn it into a picture book and also a script!”

“This fellow.”?Mag’s gaze turned cold.

“You… you’re shameless!” Cynthia was enraged. “This will ruin Boss Mag! He did nothing at all!”

“Heh, you’re the one who wrote the novel. So even if he is ruined, you’re the one who did it. I was merely earning money.” Delmar smiled. “Besides, we’ve a contract between us. If you continue writing novels, your pay will only get higher and higher. If you don’t know your place and keep bringing up such unreasonable requests, I’ll take the contract out and make you lose everything.”

“No… I… I didn’t want to ruin him… I like him very much. I just wanted to write a novel…” Cynthia was about to burst into tears.

“Don’t be afraid. No one knows that you are Northwestern Lone Wolf. If none of us talk about this, no one else would find out about it either. All you have to do is write your drafts and hand them in on time. Leave the rest to me. You can receive your high remuneration while I can earn money. This is a win-win situation.” Delmar softened his tone. “As long as I am around, I will make sure that you will become the Norland Continent’s best writer.”

“Go away! Don’t touch me! I will not work with a shameless person like you!” Cynthia screeched. At the same time, there was an agonizing groan and a loud slam of the door. After that, the office was silent.

“Interesting.” Mag smiled and left the publishing house.

Cynthia ran out of the publishing house. She ran a few streets with reddened eyes before turning into a small alley and finally burst out crying. In the end, when she turned into the alley, she rammed right into an embrace.

At the moment of impact, she felt a sturdy and warm embrace. Cynthia was stunned from the collision. She staggered back and almost fell but a pair of strong arms held her up by her waist.

“I’m sorry, I’m…” She quickly apologized. She looked up and met the gaze of a familiar face.

“Boss Mag!” Cynthia’s eyes widened and her face flushed red.

“I need an explanation,” Mag said with a smile as he looked at her.
