Yvonne immediately patted Gloria's shoulder to comfort her. "Don't worry, Aunt Gloria. Marcus is the youngest son in the Shaw family and he had been living with the Shaw family all year long. Everything related to the family was taken care of by Marcus. Besides, his three brothers indeed have some small accomplishments abroad, but they can't even arrange a funeral right in South City. How could my in-laws put such a big family into the hands of the three brothers? They knew very well that the only person that would manage the family is Marcus. Therefore, my in-laws won't do anything to Marcus. Don't worry. Look at me. I am not worried, so you certainly don't have to worry."
Only then did Gloria's expression ease up a little. She saw that Yvonne was in good spirits, so she asked her, "You look good. How are things on your parents' end? Are you able to delete all of the reports and the videos? I heard from Sabrina that both Sebastian and herself are busy checking for the source of those videos."
Yvonne was touched and she nodded. "It's fine, Aunt Gloria. There's no need for that anymore in the future. There's no need to check on all the videos anymore. It’s quite good to just let it continue like that. My parents could become famous."
"It will only work if your parents are willing to think like that. They are already old. Come on. I'll go to your house together with you now. I’ll go comfort your parents," Gloria said with extraordinary concern.
"Sure. Let's go, Aunt Gloria. Come home together with me.” Yvonne brought Gloria
back to her Yates Residence.
Her parents, her uncle, and his wife were all at home. Her cousin, Kingston, was not home. At that moment, he was also at the Ford Group busy investigating and deleting the source of the videos.
Both Vincent and Helena were slightly surprised when they saw Gloria had come to visit. They were also very apologetic.
When Helena, who was feeling more depressed, saw Gloria, she said, "Marcus' aunt is here, but we...are not being good hosts. I'm sorry...”
"Mister and Missus Yates, it's fine. I am alright and I am a very easily entertained guest. Let me tell you something. I had once lived in a sewage pipe for many years. In those years, I carried my duffel bag with me every day and I went everywhere to look for trash. At that time,
there were often people following behind me to make fun of me..."
When Helena heard that, she could not help but cry. "I have never expected that the lady of the Shaw family would also have such a painful past."
"That is why everything will be fine. Missus Yates. This too shall pass. I feel Yvonne is right. Since many things can't be stopped and also destroyed, why don't we just accept them openly? Since the short video is so viral now, why don't we just let the netizens promote it widely? This way you can increase your fame, which is very good. It's especially good. Now is the era where everyone can be a star. We can also be a star! Hear me out. You may get some very unexpected gains when the time comes. Think about it. This kind of matter that was exposed is not true, after all. Also, there are still plenty of people around who knew about your situation back then. If we keep letting those reports get escalated and let the people on the internet scold you guys, as long as you can stand the pressure, after a short while, those old friends, colleagues, classmates, and whatnot of yours in the past who could not stand you being scolded would certainly stand up and speak out for you. By then, the effect of a great rebound would certainly be produced.
Vincent and Helena also nodded. They were very clear on the fact that honest people had nothing to fear.
Vincent patted his wife's shoulders. "Let's do that then! We can save ourselves from worrying as well! Dear, from now on, we'll just eat and drink as we should. Our health is more important!"
Helena nodded with tears welling up in her eyes. She was no longer as sorrowful as before anymore. The old woman laughed at that moment. "Let an old woman like me be an internet celebrity for once then! Maybe I can even be of great help to my daughter's career!"
After they had reached that consensus, the entire family became at ease. The whole Yates family planned to take Gloria, the relative of their in-laws, out to dinner and treat it as a gathering for everyone.
At that moment, someone knocked on the door and swung it open. Everyone looked toward the door and the person who came in. "You have to bring me with you if you're going out for dinner! Otherwise, who is going to foot the bill for all of you?"
