Chapter 24 Where Are You?
Upon receiving the message, Joe found out about itte at night.
“Mr. Smith, Miss Swan has been hospitalized,” Jack said, looking at Joe with difficulty, seemingly
struggling to find the right words.
Joe gave him a nce and said coolly, “It seems I need to send you to the Antarctica to learn how to
speak properly.”
Jack, startled, quickly blurted out, “Miss White posted a video online of Miss Swan trying on her clothes
at the vi, and now people are attacking Miss Swan online… She fainted from anger.”
As he spoke, he showed Joe the offensivements about Wendy on Twitter. They were indeed
unpleasant to see.
Joe’s demeanor suddenly grew frozen.
He had previously taken action to remove the trending topic, thinking that the matter had ended. Who
would have known that Mia would still not let go?
What was she trying to do?
Joe rubbed his tired brow, and before he could speak, his phone
rang.
“Joc…” Wendy’s delicate voice came through the receiver,ced with tears. “Mia’s gone too far! She
even released videos of me trying on clothes and jewelry! Now my reputation ispletely ruined!
Many brands are asking to terminate our contracts!”
She never thought that, despite all her efforts to involve the White family, this would be the result.
The White family really was useless!
Wendy’s eyes were filled with malice, but her voice became even more pitiful.
Thinking about Mia’s attitude toward her that day, Joe frowned, “I will handle this matter. You rest in the
hospital and take care of yourself. Don’t provoke her anymore.”

Wendy’s face showed surprise, finding Joe’s attitude a bit too indifferent.
“I understand. The baby and I will be good, and won’t cause any trouble for Daddy,” she replied softly.
Joe responded tersely and hung up.
Wendy gritted her teeth as she stared at her darkened phone, then arrogantly instructed Penny, “Joe
said he would handle this. If those brands want to terminate the contract, let them weigh the
capabilities of the Smith Group.”
Penny breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, “I’ll negotiate with them right away.”
After Penny left, Wendy twisted her face in anger and smashed a vase on the ground. She then dialed
a number.
Meanwhile, Mia was unaware of Wendy’s venom. Half-asleep, she was covered in drool by her two
children, and the three wereughing and ying together.
“Mommy, we’ve been waiting for you for a long time!” said
Anna.
Anna had only been frightened for half a day yesterday, but today, he had regained his usual
mischievousness and looked at
Mia with a smile.
Mia tapped her little nose, “Who was it that wanted to sleep with Mommyst night, keeping me up?”
Her daughter looked around guiltily, avoiding Mia’s eyes.
Behind her, her son looked at Mia with a serious expression as though pondering a major problem.
Noticing his troubled look, Mia affectionately touched his head, “What’s wrong?”
“I saw people online saying bad things about Mommy. Is someone bullying you?” he asked, looking
gravely at Mia.
Ben looked at Mia very seriously.
Mia was stunned.

His eyes were slightly red, his back straight. Even though he was small, he wanted to protect his
mother.
A soft emotion welled up in Mia’s heart. She suppressed the tightness in her throat and said gently,
“There are many people online who use others without knowing the truth. Their words can’t hurt me,
and I won’t take them to heart.”
Though her son didn’t fully understand her words, seeing that she seemed unhurt by thements, he
sighed with relief.
He nodded, “I’m a big boy. I can protect Mommy.’
Mia’s smile grew even softer, “I believe you can.”
Their tender moment was interrupted by a ringing phone.
Seeing the caller ID, Mia frowned and touched her son’s head as she walked to the window, “Hello?”
It had been a long time since theirst call. Hearing Mia’s voice, Joe’s eyes flickered, “Where are you?”
