The news that Delmar and Cyril were arrested soon spread in the publishing circle. The details were not clear yet, but it was related to Mr. Mak's Indecent Little Wife, and Delmar Publishing House had been shut down.
The bookstores reacted the fastest. The books that were selling well in the morning disappeared in the afternoon. When readers asked, they all said that they had never sold the books.
More and more rumors about this matter were spreading.
Some said that it was Mr. Mak of Mamy's who took action. He sued Delmar for slander and put Delmar in jail. As for Cyril, people in the publishing circle had heard about what he had done with the book recently, so it was not surprising that he was arrested together with Mr. Mak.
There were also some who said that this matter had nothing to do with Boss Mag, and that it was an expert from Rodu who had sent the two of them to prison without risking anything. Not only did he send the two of them to prison, he even had to compensate them until they went bankrupt, and their lives were probably ruined.
Anyway, Mr. Mak's Indecent Little Wife was the main topic, which made people in the publishing circle sigh.
It was rare for a publishing house to publish a popular book. For a small publishing house like Delmar, one popular book was enough to make a living for several years. They didn't expect that they would be involved in such an unexpected disaster.
However, there were different opinions about this matter in the publishing circle. Delmar and Mr. Mak had used Mr. Mak's reputation as a gimmick, and put a book on Mr. Mak's head to ruin his reputation. Many people despised Mr. Mak.
It was karma for Delmar to end up like this.
Some publishing houses that planned to follow Mr. Mak's lead hurriedly stopped their projects after hearing the news. Some books related to Mr. Mak were even taken off the shelves in a hurry, for fear that they would also be sent to jail.
This time, people in the publishing circle saw the power of Mamy's Mr. Mak.
The author made a statement in person to clarify, the book was taken off the shelves, and the publishing house closed down. This also successfully cleared Meg's reputation as a scumbag.
When Meg returned to the restaurant, it was almost evening. The customers lining up at the door of the restaurant greeted him warmly, and some of them apologized shyly.
Meg smiled indifferently. He didn't take the guests' discussions to heart.
"Giddy up! Hyah! Giddy up! " Meg opened the door and entered the restaurant, upon which he was greeted by the sight of Little Guai riding on Ugly Duckling and jumping all over the restaurant.
Ugly Duckling had grown quite a bit during this period of time. It was about 20 kilograms now, and it was furry like a big fat ball.
Furthermore, Little Guai was simply too small, and it was straddling Ugly Duckling's body with its two little legs dangling in the air. It was holding a shiny little golden trident in its hand, and had a red cloak that it had found somewhere around its body, making it look like a little general.
Meg pushed open the door, and Ugly Duckling happened to be running toward him. It didn't pay attention and crashed into the door, causing its round body to roll forward.
Meanwhile, Little Guai, who was on Ugly Duckling's back, was also thrown out, and flew toward Meg.
Meg hurriedly reached out to catch Little Guai. The little fellow was so soft that she was stunned for a moment when he caught her. Then, she giggled, clapped her little hands, and happily said, "Fun, fun! Father, raise me up high! Raise me up high! "
Meg initially wanted to teach the little fellow to be careful with a stern face. However, when he saw that adorable little face and heard her soft and adorable words, he couldn't hide the smile on his face anymore. He raised the little fellow up high, and gently tossed her up before catching her again.
Little Guai's laughter reverberated in the restaurant, and Gina, who was sitting at the side, also smiled.
"Alright, Little Guai can play with Ugly Duckling by herself, but be careful." Meg played with Little Guai for a while before putting her down on the ground.
Little Guai looked up, and expectantly asked, "Father, when will Big Sister Amy finish school?"
"Soon. She should be back in a while." Meg looked at the clock on the wall.
Little Guai's eyes lit up, and she ran toward the door. She even shouted, "Then I'll wait for her at the door!"
"Meow ~"
Ugly Duckling, who was stunned for a while, also ran toward the door. It sat down beside Little Guai, who was sitting on the steps at the door. It tilted its head and looked at her for a while before resting its head gently on her body.
"You're so heavy, Ugly Duckling!" Little Guai pushed its furry head away in disdain, and then leaned on its soft belly with a comfortable smile on her face.
"So cute!"
"Little Boss didn't dare to steal in the past. Does Little Boss have anyone to team up with now?"
"She's so cute! I also want to have a cute little baby with Mr. Mak … "
"Bro, you're making things difficult for Mr. Mak, aren't you?"
The faces of the customers lining up at the restaurant's entrance all lit up. They couldn't resist Little Guai's cuteness at all.
Meg took a look at the little fellow, and then withdrew his gaze with a smile.
"Little Guai said she wanted to play with Ugly Duckling, so I brought her here earlier," Gina explained to Meg as she stood up.
"It must be tough for you to take care of a child alone." Meg looked at Gina. He had picked up a child for free, and almost didn't take care of her. Gina had been taking care of her all this time.
"Little Guai is very obedient. It's not tough at all." Gina shook her head with a smile. Her gaze toward the door was full of gentleness.
Meg chatted with Gina for a while. He glanced at Phyllis and Camilla, who were busy in the kitchen, and quickly went upstairs to change into a chef's suit.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Meg felt a strong murderous aura as soon as he entered the kitchen.
He saw Camilla wearing 10 sharp nail clippers in her hands. As she waved her hands, the knives flashed, and all kinds of ingredients were cut into strips and chunks.
Camilla usually worked like this, but Meg felt a murderous aura in the kitchen today.
"Dumped by a man?" Meg looked at Camilla, who had a cold expression, and asked casually.
Ding!
The fingertips and knives collided, and there was a crisp sound. Metal and stone collided, and sparks flew everywhere.
"There is no such man in this world, and there won't be in the future," Camilla said coldly.
Meg was speechless. This woman has quite a temper. However, seeing that she was angry, he couldn't be bothered to provoke her. He minded his own business and went to grind beans.
Camilla looked at Meg, who ignored her, and gritted her teeth in anger. This fellow actually didn't even ask her what happened? Then how was she going to say the words that she had prepared for so long?!
"Oh, right." Meg turned his head.
Camilla reorganized her emotions, and was ready to continue the conversation.
"Phyllis, come here. I'll teach you how to grind tofu again," Meg said to Phyllis, who was beside him.
"Okay!" Phyllis walked over happily, and watched Meg make the tofu pudding seriously.
"I … I …" Camilla wanted to clench her fists, but her fingertips were blocked. She could only stomp her feet angrily.
She thought that this incident could make Meg suffer a little and distract him, so that she could get the Photostone back, or take some videos of Meg in exchange. She didn't expect this incident to end in just two days.
