Chapter 2752

“Francis, Francis! Have you caught wind of the latest news?” Imogen yelled.

Francis was leisurely perusing a file, “What's got you all in a tizzy now? How many times have I told you, you

need to keep your composure. You're Mrs. Tanner now, and you can’t be acting like you used to.”

Imogen clapped her chest repeatedly, “I rushed over here as soon as | saw the news and | couldnt worry about

my composure. Just look at this!”

“What could possibly have you so spooked...” As Francis took a glance at the headline, he was initially unfazed,

but when he paired it with the accompanying photo, his face

immediately turned to stone.

“Ridiculous!” He slammed his hand on the solid oak desk, startling Imogen.

She quickly grabbed his hand to inspect his palm, which was already reddening.

“There's no need to hurt yourself just because you're angry, is there?”

“When did this happen?” Francis’s face was ashen, his gaze was unkind as he turned to

Imogen.

Imogen pouted, “How would | know when your darling daughter drummed up this news? If Madeline hadn't

handedthe paper, I'd still be oblivious to the trouble she’s stirred up.”

Yes, that was the difference between Imogen and Francis. Upon seeing the news, Francis’s first instinct was to

feel an overwhelming sense of protectiveness.

Although he could never understand Regina’s obsession with journalism, their precious daughter, who was

always the apple of their eye, had been tackled to the ground by sdrunken lout in the middle of nowhere.

How could he possibly stand for that?

And the news, with its suggestive and ambiguous language - wasn't it designed tongues wagging? It was

slander!

“Which rag is responsible for this? I'll sue them.” Francis hit the desk again and sto itching to confront the

newspaper office and give them a piece of his mind.

But Imogen stepped in front of him, “What good will it do to storm their office now? paper's already out there

and countless eyes have seen it. Stirring the pot will only bri more attention to it. Do you want Regina to ever

hold her head high again?”

Francis snorted coldly, “What does this have to do with Regina? It's these people who ar crafting their stories

with deceitful words. You know as well as | do what they're trying to pull. It’s Regina who's been wronged; why

shouldn't | settle the score with them?”

Fuming, Imogen was grinding her teeth, thinking the geezer still loved her daughter so much even now.

Chapter 2752

“Just like you, | believe she’s innocent. But will others see it the sway? We're her parents, that’s why we

think so. But to outsiders, it’s a different story.

Francis, | know how upset you are, wanting to tear that journalist to shreds. But think about Regina's future. She

hasn't even confronted them yet. If word gets out, how will they see Regina? How will we ever find her a match?

Do you want her to end up a spinster?”

With Imogen’s gentle coaxing, Francis slowly sat back down, “So what do you suggest? We can’t just let Regina

suffer this injustice without a fight.”
