Free Web NovelChapter 1208: Chapter 1208: A Secret Night Together
Her words caused Watt’s heart to skip a beat, his body feeling a bit cold.
"Mm." He responded softly, holding her tightly, so tight as if he feared she’d slip away if he let go.
Summer Sutton wrapped her arms around him, burying her face deeply into his neck.
In the hall, the two held each other for quite some time until Watt urged Summer Sutton to go upstairs and rest.
Not following her up, he stayed downstairs to have someone investigate Kelly Ann’s background.
Kelly Ann’s background was simple, just a newcomer from an ordinary family, and her actions towards Watt last night were merely an attempt to cling to someone with status.
In the morning, Watt had someone find Kelly Ann to roughly ask about last night’s situation.
Kelly Ann’s answers were consistent with Lorraine Hughes’s.
Watt even had people check the hotel surveillance from last night, which showed pretty much what Lorraine had described.
Everything Lorraine said was true!
Watt hadn’t expected Lorraine to be such an honest person. After watching the hotel surveillance over and over, his mood sank to rock bottom.
Leaning heavily back on the sofa, his mind was a tangled mess.
If Summer Sutton found out he had returned from the Hughes Family this morning, then how would the problem be resolved?
Now, Watt could only hope that Summer Sutton would never find out about this. As long as she didn’t know, everything else, he could handle.
However, what Watt didn’t expect was that someone had uploaded a photo of him getting a taxi near the Hughes Family in the morning on Weibo.
Many media outlets were familiar with Lorraine’s house.
Early in the morning, Watt appeared near her house, and without needing to speculate, people could infer what might have happened last night.
As soon as Watt’s photo was uploaded online, the news quickly went viral.
By around ten o’clock, the headlines had even turned into Watt and Lorraine spending a night together.
Summer Sutton hadn’t slept all night last night and was catching up on sleep.
When she woke up, it was twelve o’clock.
Coming downstairs, Watt seemed very busy, continuously on the phone with his assistant.
Summer Sutton didn’t hear anything else clearly, only the phrase "handle everything for me."
"Handle what?" she asked, puzzled.
The sudden voice made Watt pause for a moment.
Turning his face slightly to look at her in the hall, a fleeting panic flashed in his eyes.
This made Summer Sutton even more confused.
"What’s going on?"
"Nothing, just work-related," Watt replied casually, walking to the dining room to sit down. "You probably haven’t had a proper meal since last night, right? I had the servant prepare lunch."
At that moment, Summer Sutton was indeed hungry, so she went over and sat beside him.
Watt got up to go to the kitchen to get a carving knife.
While waiting for him, Summer Sutton casually picked up her phone and started browsing Weibo.
It was just a habitual action; the first thing she did after waking up every day was to check what major events had happened.
The entire morning, the search heat for Watt and Lorraine was in a "bursting" state.
Watt had actually had many things dealt with, spent money to suppress the news, but by this point, it hadn’t been completely cleaned up.
As Summer Sutton browsed Weibo, she saw Watt’s name and clicked to take a look.
When Watt came out, she was still scrolling on her phone.
His gaze drifted in her direction, and upon seeing what she was looking at, Watt’s heart sank.
"Don’t look!" He wished to go over and snatch the phone away, but clearly, it was too late.
