Chapter 862 Smearing
"Yes! My daughter is waiting for me!" Harley retorted, buttoning up his shirt and throwing on his slouchy jacket. Ignoring his mother's presence, he changed his clothes and took the key before going out. He asked Carlee to go out and then he locked his apartment.
"Stop right there and listen to me!" Carlee growled.
But Harley was out the door, and Carlee angrily ran after him to stop him. The two walked in a hurry; one in a hurry to catch up to her son, the other picking up the pace to avoid her and get to the elevator. When Harley stopped, Carlee wasted no time in unleashing her tongue.
"Do you know that bone marrow can't be donated indiscriminately because it has a great impact on the body? So you are not afraid of falling ill and causing trouble to your health in the future?"
Carlee counted on Harley to live up to old age and to attain that, it was very important to have sound health from a young age. Harley stared at the digital panel on the wall and replied coldly, “It doesn't matter, my daughter is my life!”
Hearing Harley's resolute tone, Carlee's rage grew into pity. She slapped Harley on the back before scolding him. "The child can be reborn after it's gone. Do you have to risk your own body?”
Listening to her mother’s seemingly painstaking persuasion, Harley smiled. He didn't understand why his mother would ignore the life and death of her granddaughter since she was so concerned about her health. Is it because the child was a granddaughter?
Harley was reluctant to think deeply, only knowing that no one could stop him.
"What is a life without a kid?" Harley asked calmly. Just then the elevator door opened, and he made his decision known to Carlee before stepping inside. "Don't question my decision about donating bone
marrow anymore. I can give my life for my daughter!"
Carlee frowned and froze. The elevator door slowly closed on her face, and Harley rushed to the hospital without hesitation. It took a while before Carlee came back to her senses and found that Harley had long since disappeared.
"That boy!" Carlee yelled, slapping her thigh angrily. "How the hell did I lose track of reality?”
Carlee waited to take the elevator on the other side to go downstairs, and when she got down looked around but could not find Harley. But she knew there was a high chance that Harley was going to the hospital, and was determined to chase him all the way to stop him.
However, Carlee had just left the gate of the city centre when she saw a few sneaky men and women staring at her. Carlee was boiling with rage, and whenever she was upset, she preferred venting her anger by being rude to other people. "What are you looking at? Are there no elders in your family?”
Carlee snorted and got in the car. At this time, the men and women who were looking at her came together and surrounded her car.
"Mrs. Timothy, are you the mother of Harley?”
The question made Carlee roll her eyes as she realized that they were entertainment reporters.
"Are you journalists?” she asked hesitantly.
The entertainment reporters nodded in unison and asked several questions about Harley. At the moment, Carlee was worried that she couldn't think of a way to put pressure on Harley to revoke his decision. But she saw an opportunity with the reporters and she agreed to grant them an interview.
Carlee knew the entertainment industry always put great emphasis on the matter of reputation. She wanted to use these paparazzi, one to make Harley change his mind, and the other to make Nina stop
hooking up with him. After clearing her throat, Carlee began.
"You know something, the baby is an illegitimate daughter and should not have been born. Nina hooked up with my son Harley, had sex while he was drunk, and then threatened him with a forced birth. Now that the illegitimate daughter is sick, the Paul family want to take the opportunity to extort a huge sum of money from my son, and also want him to donate bone marrow to ruin his health! Such a woman has no conscience! I only recognize Sylvia as our daughter-in-law of the Timothy family, and as for Nina, she's a liar!”
Carlee speaks to the camera so confidently that all the reporters believed her. After the interview, the reporters immediately compiled the content of the interview into a manuscript and released it. It didn't take long before Carlee's appearance went viral, and Harley became one of the top-searched topics in the whole country in a matter of minutes.
People nicknamed his situation "the love triangle" and sure enough, conspiracy theories and controversial comments began flying in from all directions alongside the condemnations aimed at Harley.
Some wannabe reporters even started to post frantically, calling on all netizens to criticize Harley, suggesting that he be included as one of the bad movie entertainers and kick him out of the entertainment industry.
In a matter of hours, the news of his incident had everyone talking, attracting hundreds of millions of netizens in just one day.
The brokerage company couldn't hold it anymore and immediately sent Jasmine to retrieve Harley from the hospital and let them decide on the matter. Jasmine, who also had a splitting headache, went from the Timothy family villa to find Harley's apartment until finally bumping into him at the hospital door.
"Harley, you're in the hospital every day now?"
Seeing Jasmine coming to the hospital, Harley had a hunch in his heart, and asked with a calm smile, "Is it possible that I've gained too much attention recently, and the company is going to terminate my contract with me?”
Jasmine didn't say anything in response. She just dragged Harley towards the car.
"Let me go to the company first, the boss is waiting for you in the office!"
In this way, Harley was forced to follow Jasmine out of the hospital, and soon he walked into the agency, inexplicably feeling that the surrounding environment was extraordinarily unfamiliar. And after thinking about it, Harley remembered that he hadn't come over for more than a month.
When the two were getting on the elevator, Harley asked Jasminejk+(about the situation, only to realize that the company could not withstand the pressure of public opinion and was going to let him choose between the two. Either clarify, apologize, and get back to work or choose to terminate the contract and pay huge liquidated damages. With a filled mind, Harley walked into the office of the boss of the company.
"I'm sorry boss," he tried to plead. "I don't have the heart to quit work, I just want to save my daughter!” novelbin
After listening to his pleas, the boss picked up the contract cancellation on the desk and signed the name.
"Then hold a press conference yourself because the company will not take any risks for you in the future!" The boss of the company announced, setting down the signed papers on the table.
Harley has no objection to this. Under Jasmine’s arrangement, he held a press conference the next morning and announced his retirement from the movie industry on the spot.
For a few days, Nina was frightened, and the body that had just improved broke down again. She fell ill again, and her discharge from the hospital had to be delayed. Also, the child continued to have a high fever, and pneumonia gradually developed into a severe disease. Therefore, it grew more and more urgent to do a bone marrow transplant.
"The operation has to wait for two more days. I wonder if True Paul can survive it, how can it not be earlier?” Kasen Paul announced as he walked into the ward.
"Can't you say two positive words? I'm so fed up with your crow's mouth!" Ariana glared at her husband.
Ariana glared at her husband, turned around and went to the hospital bed to discuss with Nina: "I heard that the church burns incense and prays very well. You should ask Melissa to come and take care of you for a long time. My dad and I will try it out.”
Now that the child's condition is not getting better, Nina has no choice but to try the mother's suggestion. "Okay, thank you, parents, I'll call Melissa later.” Nina said, smiling forcefully as if something was pricking her heart.
