Chapter 2383
Cameron sat up and turned on her cell phone when the door closed.
While Wayion had been talking on the phone earlier, she had taken out her phone and seen the news while hiding under the blanket.
‘Minzy Holland is the future eldest daughter-in-law of the Goldmanns?’
Cameron tutted.
‘I’m really sorry, but I’ve reserved the title.’
At 7:00 p.m., at the Glitz Club…
Wayion was sitting in a private room. There was no one else in the private room except his bodyguards.
Soon after that, Mallon appeared and walked toward Wayion with a smile. “Mr. Goldmann, are you looking for me?”
Wayion asked Mallon to take a seat and motioned to one of the bodyguards to pour him some wine.
Under the dimmed light from the lamp in the room, no one could distinguish the expression on Wayion’s face, whether he was joyous or infuriated.
He then crossed his legs and leaned back in the chair. “Mr. Holland, you’re one of the business partners of the Dominic Group. I asked to meet you here for a reason, and only one reason. I hope you can come forward and clarify the scandal between Ms. Holland and me.”
Mallon’s hand, which was picking the wine glass up, froze in midair as he raised his head. “A scandal? What do you mean by that, Mr. Goldmann?”
Seeing that Mallon really did not know about the news, Wayion placed his phone in front of him.
Mallon picked it up, took a glance at the content, and was instantly stunned.
Wayion continued indifferently. “Allow me to clarify the situation. I’m not in an intimate relationship with Ms. Holland, and I’m already married. Ms. Holland invited me to the hotel only for a meal, and what we talked about was strictly business-related.”
Mallon understood what he meant but was surprised by the fact that Wayion was already married. “But are you married?”
“I’ve already obtained my marriage certificate, but my wife doesn’t want me to disclose our relationship to the public, so you’re the first person to know about this apart from my relatives.”
Everything became clear to Mallon. “I see.”
But he thought of something and asked, “Then why didn’t you release a statement and clarify the situation yourself?”
‘As soon as Mr. Goldmann makes his marriage public, he’ll be able to clear up this scandal without having to ask me for help. I only found out that Minzy is acquainted with the eldest heir of the Goldmanns when he showed me the news. Speaking of which, that girl actually kept that from me.’
Wayion tapped his fingertips against the table. “If I were to be the party clarifying things at this moment, my marriage would naturally be made public. At that time, Ms. Holland would also be dragged into this turmoil. I believe you don’t want to see your
daughter getting a bad rap out of this incident. Am I right, Mr. Holland?”
Wayion’s words enlightened Mallon in an instant.
‘Of course, Mr. Goldmann is officially married. The scandal published by the media will be regarded as the “truth” in the eyes of the public. So, as soon as Mr. Goldmann announces his marriage, Minzy will surely be deemed a homewrecker and be prone to public criticism.’
Mallon nodded, and his expression looked distressed. “I’m sorry. I wasn’t aware of that outcome. Please rest assured, I’ll clarify this matter to the media.”
Wayion smiled. “Thankyou.”
After Mallon left the private room, Wayion frowned slightly.
‘The paparazzi have no reason to follow Minzy around the city. I attended a variety show and gained a certain level of popularity, so it’s only natural for the paparazzi not to miss the opportunity to come up with a story or two about me.
‘I’ve given Mr. Holland the chance to take the initiative to clarify the matter to the media and public. That is me showing the Hollands and Minzy some respect. After all, my marriage with Cameron is still a secret from the public, and Minzy really doesn’t have to be implicated.
‘Public opinion can crush a person’s reputation in the blink of an eye. Minzy and I aren’t close. I don’t even consider us friends. So, there’s no need for me to sacrifice a woman’s reputation in order to protect mine.
‘Besides, I do feel a little sorry for her. I did use her to test
Cameron, and I clearly knew how she felt about me. As such, having Mr. Holland come forward to clarify this matter would bring about the best outcome for both parties.
‘Furthermore, even if I want to make things public, it has to be done by the woman back at home, willingly and voluntarily.’
Wayion returned to Emperon Villa at 9:00 p.m.
The light in the room was still on. He pushed open the door and realized that Cameron had already fallen asleep.
Wayion walked to the edge of the bed, sat down, leaned over, and kissed her forehead, the tip of her nose, and her lips.
