As Laura recounted how she was driven out, her jaw clenched and she purposely revealed that Loraine


    had instructed the soldiers to do so.


    Ashton’s mood darkened as he recalled his own unpleasant encounter at the hospital.


    He felt humiliated by Loraine’s public actions and Marco’s warning.


    With a disdainful snort, he remarked, “You have a good son. He’s aiding his ex-wife in turning away


    visitors from the hospital.”


    Laura continued her tale of woe. “Neither Marco nor Loraine respects me. And now that Rowan is


    involved, Loraine’s arrogance is bound to increase.”


    Ashton’s eyes narrowed as he retorted, “That won’t be the case. Rowan’s career hase to an end.”


    Laura’s eyes sparkled with hope as she implored, “What can you do?


    Don’t worry. As Long as I hold power in the future, Bryant Group will always stand by your side!”


    “You’re smarter than your son. This time, Rowan suffered severe injuries, and the mission might have


    failed. His chances of undertaking future tasks and making contributions are slim, especially with a


    tarnished reputation. He wouldn’t be so close to Loraine, otherwise.”


    Laura’s heart raced with anticipation as she eximed, “We can utilize the rumors to expose their


    collusion beyond doubt! The photo is undeniable evidence!”


    Ashton nodded in satisfaction, his eyes briefly revealing a lecherous glint as he patted her hand while


    admiring her well-maintained appearance.


    “The position ofmander will be mine once Rowan is defeated. I won’t forget your support.”


    Laura understood his insinuation all too well.

    As a widow who had been struggling for a Long time with an unreliable son, Laura had been seeking a


    man to rely on, and now the opportunity was right in front of her. She felt a surge of excitement as she


    aligned herself with Ashton’s ns.


    Since the paparazzi refrained from spreading the photo, Laura decided to take matters into her own


    hands.


    Laura posted an update on her social media ount as soon as she returned home. The update


    implied that amander and a female CEO had colluded to prevent anyone from reporting their


    intimate photo.


    While Laura refrained from mentioning any names, she mentioned their background.


    It wasn’t long before someone in thement section spected that she was referring to Loraine and


    Rowan.


    However, not many people were willing to believe Laura’s ims. She and her daughter had spread


    rumors in the past, and none of them had turned out to be true.


    “Herees Laura again, always picking on Loraine. It seems she just can’t stand to see Loraine living


    a better life.”


    “That’s just another baseless usation from Laura. She’s not exactly known for her imagination or


    credibility. Don’t take her words at face value.”


    “Laura will probably post some doctored photoster and make a fool of herself once again. It’s


    hrious, really. She’s be the


    Laughingstock of the inte.”
