Chapter 2320
As Henrick turned around, the person behind him almost bumped into him. He was so startled that he reared back.
"Uncle... Uncle Klein, why aren't you sleeping yet at this hour?" Henrick felt a little guilty. How could he have felt a sense of foreboding seeing his future father-in-law at this time?
Bert's expression was grave when he surveyed Henrick, his eyes screwed up. He snickered. "What's wrong? Aren't you going to do something on the Internet? My daughter is being tracked down by all those people as we speak. If anything happens to her when she goes out tomorrow, you can just get out of her world."
"Of course, of course, Uncle Klein. I'll deal with it in no time. Don't worry, I won't let anyone insult her," Henrick promised.
However, Bert's expression turned even angrier.
"Our Alice has already been insulted, and you are still in the mood to loiter around." Bert really wanted to beat this brat up. He would not hear of his precious daughter being harmed in the slightest.
Henrick gulped.
It turned out that his future father-in-law had also seen what had happened online.
His time of tribulation came knocking on his door at midnight, as luck would have it.
Henrick said, "Dad, I'll get someone to deal with it now."
Henrick ran away.
Which caught Bert unawares.
He shrieked in anger, scowling at Henrick's back, "Who's your dad!"
Henrick only grinned before he ran home without saying a word.
When he met Dr. Harris at the door, he was stunned. "Dr. Harris, you're still up!"
To which he replied, "I can't sleep easily in an unfamiliar place. Which is why you're seeing me here, exercising."
Henrick said, "By all means. I have something else to do."
Carson remarked, "Okay."
Henrick looked at him nodding elegantly. He thought to himself that this Carson must be of an upstanding character.
Later... Henrick would find out that those who looked honest were actually the most un-honest people. Hence, what you saw was not what you got.
Back upstairs, he did not care too much and immediately dialed his brother's mobile phone.
The phone was soon connected.
"Mayday! Mayday!"
Hearing this, Kenneth, who was working, frowned slightly. Looking at the computer's display, he blinked his eyes and asked in a husky voice, "What seems to be the problem? You're so far away from me. How can I save you?"
"Kenneth, someone posted the news about me and Allie on the Internet and it's now trending. This is going to put Allie in harm's way. Could you help me delete all of them?" Henrick's mind was in a mess. He'd brought troubles to Alice, which only served to rub salt in his wound.
After so many years, although he wasn't bothered by these things on the Internet, as long as it was related to Alice and their children, he couldn't ignore them.
Kenneth switched to the computer page and clicked on it. The tags were all made up of Henrick's name.
Kenneth frowned. How could things have played out in this way? This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
"Ricky, this is only a temporary solution. How are you and Alice faring?"
"Good news: we've just confirmed our relationship today. She is willing to be my girlfriend."
Kenneth replied, "It's good and bad news alike. She will be found out by your fans one day. Tonight, someone deliberately took photos of what happened during the day and posted them on the Internet. Although the photos only show the back, someone will find out before tomorrow morning."
Henrick's face darkened. Thinking about what had happened today, he felt even more upset.
Although he knew that was human nature, he was still boiling inside.
"Can you find out who posted it?" asked Henrick.
"The address is in the Hansen family in the Eastern District of Lemmon Ctiy. But it didn't matter who posted it. If this person hadn't done it, someone else would."
Henrick also understood that it would not be a good time to announce his relationship with Alice.
He rattled off, "I haven't proposed to Allie yet. I can't make it public now."
"I haven't figured out what to do so that I won't hurt her and the children. Even I can't forgive myself for the mistakes I'd made seven years ago. And now I'm resolved not to make the same mistake anymore. Juliet was name-called a b*stard yesterday. We'd all experienced it when we were young. You should understand what I'm trying to say, no?"
Kenneth's heart ached. If he'd been present, he most likely would have punched them regardless of their gender. "I understand. I'll help you. Don't worry."
Henrick felt warm in his heart. "Bro, you're a lifesaver, I tell you! What are Josue's skills when compared to you?"
Josue, who hadn't done anything to earn such discredit, was being put under the spotlight.
Kenneth replied, "All right. Go to bed early. I'm working on something."
"Okay, bro, you should rest early too."
After hanging up the phone, Henrick felt much more relieved.
Thinking of the Hansen family, he narrowed his eyes. People should be responsible for their own words and deeds.
He picked up his cell phone and quickly edited a message to his brother, asking him to post it online.
After reading it, Kenneth did not reply, but continued to deal with the things on the Internet.
At the same time, Bert also knew the truth behind the whole issue. His assistant also found out about the Hansen family. Bert immediately asked his assistant to take back all the stores of the Hansen family.
This was equivalent to grabbing the Hansen family by their throats.
After ordering everything, Bert finally fell asleep.
The next morning, when Alice woke up, the first thing she did was grab her phone and click on the news. It was quiet on the Internet, and the overwhelming news of Henrick had disappeared without a trace.
She heaved a sigh of relief. She'd been too tired last night. She'd thought she would not be able to sleep because of these things, but it was clear that she'd misjudged herself, for she'd slept soundly.
However, when she saw the harmonious atmosphere on the Internet, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She got up slowly to wash up. There was nothing to do at the company today, so she could take her time.
Those who didn't know her wouldn't be able to recognize her back from the photos, but the people in the company could tell at a glance that it was her.
Alice thought for a while. If it had been in the past, she would have been very nervous. But now, she was no longer nervous because Henrick loved her.
This was courage!
Alice went downstairs to see Juliet. As soon as she arrived at the stairs, she heard the laughter of the father and the daughter.
Seeing Alice come down, Henrick smiled and said, "Allie, come down and have breakfast. I bought your favorite breakfast burrito."
Alice was stunned for a moment. Then she remembered that he was injured, and her anger and gratitude were pitted against each other.
"Why didn't you take a good rest when you were injured? Why did you get up so early?"
Henrick smiled and said, "Allie, I'm fine. I can't sleep, so I got up to buy you breakfast."
Alice's face could no longer be gloomy; she walked over with joy.
"Mom, come over and eat. You're just in time." Juliet was very happy. She hoped that her family could have breakfast together happily every day in the future.
"Yes! I'm coming. You should eat too." Alice sat opposite Henrick. Looking at the plate of apple pie in front of him, she couldn't help but be amazed. It was hard to imagine that a man as tall as 1.8 meters actually had a sweet tooth.
However, it was, for all intents and purposes, a cozy morning.
