The news of Delmar and Cyril being arrested soon spread in the publishing circle. The actual details were unclear, but it had something to do with that book "Boss Mag's Indecent Little Wife". Delmar Publishing House was already closed down now.
The reactions of all the bookshops were the fastest. The book that was selling like hotcakes in the morning disappeared by the afternoon. When the readers came and asked for it, the bookshop owners all replied that they had never sold it before.
Rumors about that incident began to spread.
Some said that the boss of Mamy Restaurant had acted. He sued Delmar for libel and got him locked up. As for Cyril, people in the publishing circle knew about what he had done to that book. Hence, it wasn't surprising that he was locked up as well.
Some said this matter wasn't related to Boss Mag but that an extraordinary man from Rodu had tricked the two of them and sent them into jail. They were also bankrupted by the compensation and their lives were considered over.
Anyway, the rumors were all connected to "Boss Mag's Indecent Little Wife". This made the people in the publishing circle lament.
It was hard for a publishing house to have a popular item. A small publishing house like Delmar could survive for years with one popular book. They didn't expect it to bring disaster upon them instead.
However, there were different kinds of explanations in the circle. Delmar was already despised by many from the moment he used someone's reputation as a gimmick by forcing a book's plot into someone's life and destroying their reputation.
It could be considered as karma that he ended up in this situation.
At the same time, some publishing houses that had intended to copy Delmar Publishing House, immediately halted their projects. All the novels that were related to Boss Mag were quickly pulled off the shelf. They were afraid to end up in jail too.
This time, the people in the publishing world had witnessed the power of Mamy Restaurant's Boss Mag.
The author clarified the incident personally, the book was pulled off the shelf and the publishing house was shut down. All these successfully rectified Mag's persona from being a jerk.
It was close to evening when Mag returned to the restaurant. All the customers lining up greeted him enthusiastically. Many even apologized to him shyly.
Mag smiled nonchalantly. He wouldn't take the customers' discussions to heart.
"Yee-haw! Yee-haw!" Mag went into the restaurant and immediately saw Kiddo riding Ugly Duckling all over the restaurant.
Ugly Duckling had gotten a lot bigger recently. It was over 20 kilos now and it was furry, just like a big fat fluffy ball.
Meanwhile, Kiddo was very tiny. Her legs were dangling on either side as she sat on Ugly Duckling. She was holding onto a golden trident and wearing a little cape that was made from a piece of red cloth. She looked just like a little general.
Mag opened the door just as Ugly Duckling dashed over. It crashed into the door and its rotund body rolled forward instantly.
Kiddo on Ugly Duckling was also thrown out forward and she flew towards Mag.
Mag quickly caught Kiddo. The little one was soft and tiny. She was stunned when she was caught, then she laughed and clapped her hands. "This is so fun! Up, Father! Up!"
Mag wanted to lecture the little one on safety sternly, but he couldn't help smiling when he saw that adorable face and heard those cute words. He lifted the little one up high, tossed her upwards and then caught her again.
Kiddo's laughter echoed throughout the restaurant and Gina, who was sitting at the side, smiled too.
"Alright. Kiddo, go play with Ugly Duckling, but be careful." Mag played with Kiddo for a while before putting her back onto the ground.
"Father, when is Big Sister Amy back from school?" Kiddo looked up and asked expectantly.
"Soon. She'll be home in a short while." Mag took a quick look at the clock on the wall.
Kiddo's eyes lit up and she ran to the door, shouting, "I'll wait for her at the door!"
"Meow~"
Ugly Duckling, who was in a daze for a while, ran to the door too. It sat next to Kiddo on the steps and tilted its head to look at her. Then, it gently placed its head on her.
"You're so heavy, Ugly Duckling!" Kiddo pushed its furry head away disdainfully before leaning onto its soft tummy and smiled comfortably.
"So cute!"
"We didn't dare to steal Little Boss in the past. Are we going to form a team to try for Tiny Boss now?"
"This is really too cute! I want to have a cute baby with Boss Mag too…"
"Bro, are you making things hard for Boss Mag?"
The customers lining up at the door glowed. They couldn't resist Kiddo's cuteness attack at all.
Mag flicked a glance at the little one before looking away with a smile.
"Kiddo said she wants to play with Ugly Duckling, so I brought her over earlier." Gina got up and explained.
"It's hard to care for a child alone," Mag said to Gina. He had an easy time. He had never taken care of the child before and Gina was caring for her alone.
"Kiddo is very well-behaved, so it's not hard at all." Gina shook her head and looked at the door with a gentle gaze.
Mag chit-chatted with Gina for a short while. But when he saw Firis and Camilla working busily in the kitchen, he quickly went upstairs to change into his chef's suit.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Mag felt a cold murderous intent as soon as he went into the kitchen.
He saw Camilla, who was wearing 10 razor-sharp nail knives, waving her hands. The knives gleamed and all the ingredients were cut into strips and cubes.
Camilla usually worked like this too, but Mag could sense a murderous intent in the kitchen today.
"Were you ditched by a man?" Mag looked at the cold Camilla and asked casually.
Ding!
The nail knives clashed and made a crisp sound. Sparks flew into the air.
"There's no such man in this world and there won't be in the future either," Camilla said coldly.
Mag was secretly speechless. This woman had a bad temper. Since she was angry, he left her alone and went to grind the beans.
Camilla was furious when she saw Mag ignore her. Wasn't this fellow going to ask her what happened? If not, how was she going to say the speech that she had prepared for so long?!
"Oh yes." Mag turned around.
Camilla gathered up her emotions and prepared to answer him.
"Come over here, Firis. I'll teach you how to grind the beans," Mag said to Firis.
"Yes!" Firis walked over happily and watched Mag make the tofu pudding seriously.
"I-I…" Camilla wanted to clenched her fist, but the finger-knives blocked her actions. Hence, she could only stomp her feet in anger.
She thought this novel incident could make Mag suffer and distract his attention so that she could get the photostone back. Or, she would have the time to make a video of Mag and exchange it for hers. She didn't expect this thing to blow over in just two days.
