Internet Breaking: The Powerful CEO Reveals His Supermodel Wife-Chapter 556: Are You Hiding Something from Me?

Chapter 556: Chapter 556: Are You Hiding Something from Me?

Celeste.

Lauren Howell watched as the online rumors intensified, feeling that Omnisphere showed no intention of responding, as if they didn’t care at all.

However, since the scandal’s exposure until now, there was almost no negative news, only positive.

Praising Ava Sterling’s beauty, saying that Ava has suddenly changed, commenting on how the president of Omnisphere Group is so young and handsome, how the two of them matched perfectly in the advertisement, and so on and so forth.

After just a few hours, Lauren truly hadn’t seen any negative comments about Ava, no one scolding her.

It was all praise, curiosity, confusion, gossip, and a strong feeling of being onlookers.

In the past, such a situation would surely have made Lauren very happy.

Because no one was criticizing Ava; that was truly great.

Ava’s career might quickly usher in a second spring, which was a wonderful thing.

However, now and for some reason, Lauren couldn’t feel any joy.

Because the more these rumors were praised, the more they talked about Ava and Jace Kingsley, the more she worried about the big boss of Celestial Holdings.

After all, Ava’s current status was married, and such a married person being involved in a scandal with another man—how would the big boss of Celestial Holdings feel?

And after Ava hung up the phone, she didn’t call her back, as if there was something she needed to handle.

She was very worried, not knowing if Ava was handling her scandal or explaining to the big boss of Celestial Holdings.

Anyway, the scandal was still ongoing, without any sign of cooling down, and as long as Ava didn’t call her, she couldn’t be at ease.

During these hours, Lauren desperately wanted to call Jace Kingsley and ask him to handle the scandal because this kind of scandal wasn’t good for Ava.

But from the current point of view, this scandal was beneficial for Omnisphere Group, with positive effects.

Especially with the emergence of this scandal, more people got to know Omnisphere, with a lot of good information following; in just a few hours, even Omnisphere Group’s stock prices rose.

This was beneficial for Omnisphere Group, so why would they clarify the rumor?

If the scandal brought negative consequences, Omnisphere Group would certainly clarify.

But with positive impacts, there’s no need to clarify.

Moreover, Young Master Kingsley liked Ava.

With the scandal coming out, he probably was quite pleased with it.

And now, neither she nor Ava had further contacted Young Master Kingsley. If they reached out because the scandal affected Ava, it might not be suitable.

Young Master Kingsley didn’t know Ava was married, and going to him now might lead to misunderstandings.

So, despite being anxious, Lauren hadn’t lost her reason.

However, Eric knew about the scandal, but Eric wasn’t in the company and would return later.

Once informed, Eric asked what the situation was, whether Ava and Young Master Kingsley were dating.

If they were, Eric wanted to know the specifics.

After all, a scandal about Ava affects her, and as the company’s second-in-command, Eric needed to be aware of the situation.

If it was a bad situation, Eric would certainly prepare in advance.

Eric didn’t know about Ava’s marriage to the big boss of Celestial Holdings, and Lauren understood what Eric meant.

So, she honestly told Eric about Ava and Jace Kingsley’s situation, and after listening, Eric said not to worry for now and that they’d discuss it once Eric arrived at Aurelia today.

Clearly, the current public opinion was advantageous for Ava, so Eric wasn’t in a rush.

But!

This public opinion was detrimental to Ava!

Lauren was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan—it was truly distressing.

After learning about Ava’s marriage to the big boss of Celestial Holdings, she was very happy but also felt burdened at times.

Such a hidden marriage relationship was very troublesome.

Nobody else knew, only she did, so handling certain matters was different.

Like now, she could only watch the rumors ferment without knowing what to do.

Everything she tried seemed futile; she had to passively wait for Ava’s response.

But Ava wasn’t the type to handle matters efficiently, which made her even more anxious.

As she pondered, her phone vibrated, followed by the ringing, interrupting her thoughts.

Lauren picked up the phone, seeing it was another call from a magazine company, and got a headache again.

Her phone had been bombarded with calls today, all asking her to verify.

They wanted to verify the relationship between Ava and Jace Kingsley.

Once verified, they would immediately publish it, doing anything for traffic and money.

Lauren hadn’t answered any calls because doing so would lead to all kinds of interpretations.

And they were relentless, constantly calling her, never giving her peace.

Initially, she considered turning off her phone, but she was worried that someone with legitimate concerns wouldn’t be able to reach her, so she left it on.

She kept getting disturbed this way.

However, she didn’t forget to inform the staff and company people not to disclose anything about Ava’s status.

No one was allowed to talk.

If she found out anyone did, they would be instantly fired!

She knew too well the tactics of those media outlets, sparing no effort.

But there was one thing to be thankful for—Ava wasn’t in the country; she was abroad.

The media couldn’t follow Ava.

This was the best part.

If the media went after Ava and she couldn’t hold back, she might inevitably have a confrontation with them, leading to trouble.

Thinking of this, Lauren felt it was better for Ava not to return to the country yet; staying abroad for a while would be better, waiting for the public opinion to calm down.

This could avoid many troubles.

Thinking of these, Lauren immediately messaged Ava Sterling.

She conveyed her thoughts and suggestions to Ava, advising to hold off for now.

The message was quickly sent, and just then Lauren’s phone rang.

Lauren thought it was another call from the media and furrowed her brows, planning to silence the phone.

It was too noisy, giving her a headache and a lot of irritation.

However, seeing that the caller wasn’t the media but Eric, Lauren’s heart skipped a beat, and she immediately answered: "Eric, hi."

"Are you at the company right now?"

"Yes, I am."

"Great, I’m at the office now. Come up, and we’ll discuss Ava’s current situation."

"Alright!"

Lauren checked the time, quickly saved and organized the entertainment reports from the last few hours, and went to Eric’s office with her notebook.

Soon, the office door opened and Eric entered.

Eric mentioned returning today but didn’t specify the time. Lauren had just checked the time; it was six-something, almost seven.

Eric didn’t come back late.

Seeing Lauren, Eric put the documents on the desk and directly asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"
