Robert hastily handed his walking stick to Asher. He squatted down and held out his arms to Yasmine and embraced her. She had grown a bit taller compared to before.Angeline smiled and fixed her gaze on Robert. She had always known that.She watched as Robert picked Yasmine up and held her in his arms, saying happily, "Our little girl has gained some weight!""That's because Beautiful Ms. Lawson has taken such good care of us!" Yasmine puffed up her chest with pride, her eyes crinkled into half-moons. "Mommy!"Angeline laughed and took Yasmine from Robert's arms. She said to Robert, "I'll remember what you said, Granddad."Robert nodded. "Alright! See that you do! Since that is the case, move back to the old Lawson residence starting from today.""Okay!" Angeline nodded."Angeline, you're here!" Jessica walked out, holding Xavier's hand. She was delighted to see Angeline. "Let's go home!""Okay!" Angeline put Yasmine down and hugged Xavier. She ruffled his hair. Robert said,
Robert hadn't expected Angeline to make things difficult for Dexter. "Aren't you afraid that it'll cause trouble for Shane?"Angeline continued, "I've urged the technology department. The information is supposed to be open-source, so I'm planning to negotiate with Dexter and give him half of the shares we currently have. We'll give him the remaining half in two installments while we're in the manufacturing process."This was very fair.Even Dexter wouldn't be able to find any fault with it, and it would buy Sean some time."Alright. You can decide when it comes to the company," Robert answered and changed the subject. "That Hooper fellow is no longer getting harassed by Rachel, and he is quite a good choice. It would be good for you to try spending time with him. I won't force anything, even if you want to wait…""I know." Angeline didn't blame Robert in the slightest. "Don't worry."After hanging up, Angeline walked over to the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked at the bustling
"That makes sense," Nathaniel replied.Nathaniel had booked a restaurant near Krontos University. Unexpectedly, the moment they got out of the car, they bumped into Eleanor, who idolized Angeline. Eleanor was heading out with a group of friends when she spotted Angeline. She was about to go up to them and greet them when Aaron stopped her. "Can't you be more tactful? Look, they're on a date. Don't go and say hi to them! We'll be going for an internship at Vitality Biotech, and you'll definitely have a chance to see her!"Eleanor saw Nathaniel get out of the driver's seat. She nodded quickly and watched as Angeline and Nathaniel walked into the restaurant. Then, she left with her friends, grinning. Eleanor and her friends had just taken their seats in a private room at a restaurant when Aaron suddenly grunted in surprise. Eleanor was fiddling with the cutlery, and she turned to ask him, "What is it?""There's a live stream about your idol!" He handed his phone to her. "He says he
George saw his sister, Katie, raising her hand, gesturing for him to use his hand to appear even more pitiful. Hence, he quickly raised his hand."I broke two of my fingers, and no one wants me at construction sites anymore. Her brother is very sick right now, and we need money every single day at the hospital. I want her to help her brother, but I can't even see her! I have no choice but to seek help on the Internet!"The camera turned, and Benjamin appeared on the screen, lying on a hospital bed. Benjamin was deathly pale, and he whimpered as he lay on the bed. He couldn't even open his eyes.The camera turned once more to reveal Katie, who was sobbing pitifully."Jodie…" As soon as the word slipped out, Katie realized she had made a mistake and hastily covered it up. "Angeline is heartless! She doesn't care about her own father and brother, and she only cares about having a good time on her own! "Just a tiny amount from her could save Benjamin! What a bitch! Sean was just as
Very soon, the comment left by "Transformed Models" was buried under the others. Although some people criticized Katie for favoring her nephew over her niece, most people still remarked that Angeline was a ruthless daughter. They wondered how she could abandon her father and sick brother, especially when her father was a cripple while her brother was seriously ill.Everyone at Lawson Global had already learned about it when Robert received the news.George's video spread like wildfire because of its connection with Lawson Global. It garnered many views.The world always favored the underdog.Everyone could tell from George's comments that Angeline had been adopted. Consequently, some people stated that once she was adopted, she was no longer connected to her biological family.However, others drew a timeline from the news reports of when Robert acknowledged Angeline as his granddaughter, which had only occurred that year. The criticism of Angeline on the Internet intensified."
When Angeline arrived at the office that morning, she felt the burning stares of Sean's secretariat and her own on her as soon as she got out of the elevator. It confused her.The moment she entered the office, she put her bag at her feet and glanced outside through the door, which was slightly ajar. She asked Jamie, "Why are they all looking at me this early in the morning?"Jamie took her suit jacket and hung it up as he said, "Ms. Lawson, perhaps you haven't seen the news yet. It's… Well, your biological father in Emmerson Village went on live broadcast to accuse you of abandoning them. Screenshots of the broadcast have been spreading on the Internet. The company wanted to repress it so that it would stop trending, but Mr. Millstone told us not to do so. Everyone in the secretariat is trying to figure out Mr. Lawson Senior's reasoning."Those who were firmly loyal to Sean wondered if Robert had lost confidence in Angeline and planned to kick her out. They speculated that it was
Based on what Angeline knew of the Emmersons, she could tell they had already rehearsed their lines before starting the live broadcast. However, Katie hadn't been able to hold back her emotions at the mention of Angeline, and had ended up criticizing her again.However, she was puzzled about when George had broken his fingers.Angeline really had no idea. Over the past few years, she had kept an eye on the Emmersons to prevent them from rearing up their heads again and from disturbing Robert, but she had no interest in knowing the details of their lives.When she read through the comments below the video, they were all insults and criticisms from Internet trolls and people on the Internet who didn't have the whole story. Many people had even tagged Lawson Global in the comments to ask them accusingly about their decision to let someone as heartless as Angeline be the company's executive vice president.Angeline watched a vlogger try to use the traction the post was gaining by une
The comments and trending topics could have been more kind toward Angeline on Twitter. Trending hashtags such as #lawsonglobalsVPcrimeofabandonment and #lawsonglobalhidesthetruth were just some of the tamer examples on the internet. While Angeline was lambasted that day, George received multiple donations from the netizens, telling him to buy food or rent a place with the money. Even several loving people from society donated for Benjamin's treatment. After having had a taste of fame, Benjamin also started a livestream that night. Benjamin appeared sickly before the camera and lamented Angeline for not caring for him after their mother died. As he was dying, he expressed his dying wish was for Angeline to return home to see him and bear the responsibility of looking after George and Juliet as a family. Benjamin's speech sparked another uproar among the netizens, either sympathizing with him or inciting discontent against Angeline. Aside from them sending comments to motivat
