Chapter 43


    Harrison felt Roxanne''s body trembling violently, so he held onto her even tighter.


    Roxanne sensed the presence beside her, which brought some warmth to her heart. She didn''t want


    Harrison to worry, so she quickly said, "I''m fine. Let''s go. We need to help Chloe and Amelia pack up


    and return to the city as soon as possible. We have to keep working and making money when we get


    back."


    She couldn''t afford to wallow in her pain. What was the use of dwelling on her suffering? It would only


    make her emotions even more fragile. She needed to get back to the city and continue working to feel


    secure.


    She straightened her posture to appear less vulnerable and then let go of Harrison''s hand, walking


    away on her own. She wiped away the tears that had fallen due to Sebastian. She wouldn''t let anyone


    see her cry. Her strong back moved forward along the winding path, swaying like resilient grass in the


    wind.


    ...


    After dealing with Granny E''s affairs, Harrison, Roxanne, and the others returned to Seraphim


    Haven.


    Sebastian also returned to the city. After being kicked out by his current wife and son, he found a cheap


    motel to stay at.


    Sebastian had pinned all his hopes on Roxanne. He had to make Roxanne appear before him again.


    He had to get a house and money from Roxanne.


    After some thought, Sebastian came up with a n.


    Early the next morning, Sebastian arrived at the tallest building in Seraphim Haven. The headquarters


    of the Rodriguez Group. Despite being over fifty years old, Sebastian was familiar with various social


    media tforms. He often watched videos from attractive female influencers.


    He knew how to gain media attention and increase traffic. So Sebastian sat on the top floor of the


    building and started a TikTok live stream.


    "Hello, everyone. My name is Sebastian."


    "I want to jump off this building andmit suicide."


    "I''m sorry, but I have to meet you all in such an extreme way today. But I really have no other options."


    "I''m old now, and my leg is injured. I can barely walk, and I can''t earn a living anymore. I can''t even


    afford a ce to live or basic necessities."


    "But my own daughter couldn''t care less about me. She runs apany in Seraphim Haven, makes a


    lot of money, and even bought a million-dor house, but shepletely disregards my life."


    "I haven''t eaten for two days."


    "Today, I want to seek justice for myself. It''s only right for a daughter to support her penniless, destitute


    father. But my daughter really doesn''t care about me."


    "My daughter''s name is Roxanne. She''s from Harmony Vige and lives afortable life, yet she


    won''t even let me know her current address, fearing that I''ll bring her trouble."


    "Kind-hearted inte friends, please tell me. How can a daughter be so heartless?"


    In the live stream video, Sebastian sobbed uncontrobly. The viewership quickly surpassed a million,


    and it continued to rise rapidly.


    The influence of the inte was enormous. Soon, many official and independent media outlets began


    to post Sebastian''s live stream video.


    Within a day, the story of Sebastian being abandoned by his daughter spread widely across various


    online tforms.


    As soon as Harrison saw this, his face darkened. Other than Roxanne, it was difficult to provoke his


    emotions to such an extent.


    This was the first time he felt such a strong urge to physically confront an elderly man.


    "Who allowed him to go up there?"


    In a building as secure as the Rodriguez Group, how did that shameless old man manage to get up


    there?


    Alexander watched the video andmented, "Harrison, the Roxanne that Sebastian is berating in the


    video, she couldn''t be your wife, could she? They have the same name, and they''re both from


    Harmony Vige."


    Harrison ordered, "Get Sebastian down from there."


    Alexander asked, "Harrison, Sebastian is really pitiful. You hate people who are unfilial the most, don''t


    you? Your wife..."


    Harrison interrupted him, "Shut up. You don''t understand anything. Roxanne was abandoned by her


    divorced parents when she was four. Sebastian has never taken care of Roxanne, yet he''s ming her.


    It''s truly shameless."


    Harrison immediately defended his wife. He also described to Alexander how Roxanne had been


    abandoned at a young age and the difficulties she had faced growing up.


    Alexander, after hearing the whole story, also felt angry. "From what you''ve told me, Sebastian is a truly


    shameless old man."


    Harrison thought for a moment and said, "After Sebastian remarried, he had another son. Find out


    everything you can about his son."


    Alexander nodded and tried to console Harrison. "Harrison, don''t get too angry. You''re supporting your


    wife, and I believe Sebastian won''t be able to bully her."


    Harrison replied, "If I don’t support Roxanne, who will support her? I''m her husband."


    The inte was a terrifying ce. It could distort the truth and turn right into wrong. In just one day,


    Roxanne had be the focus of discussions on various social media tforms.


    Apart from criticism, many ‘concerned’ inte users also dug up more information about Roxanne.


    Sebastian mentioned in the video that Roxanne was the owner of thepany. Entering Roxanne''s


    name into certain websites made it easy to find information about herpany. Although Oliver was


    the legal representative, Roxanne held a forty percent stake in thepany.


    All of this was found with a simple search.


    Roxanne''spany address was also avable for all to see.

    Within two days, ‘concerned’ and ‘justice-seeking’ inte users started gathering outside Roxanne''s


    Many of them knew that Roxanne''spany was involved in online sales. They began buying the


    Roxanne''s work and life were greatly affected.


    Because of this incident, Oliver, who had been wanting to kick Roxanne out of thepany, decided to


    confront her.


    "Roxanne, look at what you''ve done to thepany. Your negative impact has been enormous. You


    must give up your shares, and I''ll return your initial investment. I won''t hold you ountable any


    further."


    Ever since Roxanne had rejected him, Oliver had been trying to push her out of thepany. With the


    Roxanne, Oliver would be the sole owner of thepany and make even more money.


    Roxanne asked, "Why do you want me to give up my shares? What if I manage to recover the


    Sebastian''s nder had caused thepany''s product sales to plummet by half, and it triggered a


    flood of negative reviews andints. Once the situation was rified, those ‘concerned’ inte


    users would undoubtedly stand by her side and support her. She would find a way to clear her name.


    Oliver sneered, "You''ve received a lot of criticism online, and it''s affecting thepany''s online


    business. Do you really think you can double our sales? Do you know that everyone online wants


    something bad to happen to you?"


    "Don''t bother me about online criticism. Just tell me, what if I manage to double thepany''s sales in


    a few days? What would you do then?"


    "I''ll eat my own excrement."


    "Don''t speak nonsense. Be practical. Tell me, if I really manage to double thepany''s sales in a few


    days, what would you do?"


    "If you truly manage to double thepany''s sales, all the extra profits will be yours. But if you can''t,


    take your initial investment and get out of mypany."


    The Sebastian incident was escting. It would be an achievement if thepany could survive, let


    alone double its profits.


    Oliver was getting more eager to implement his n to force Roxanne out of thepany.


    "Oliver, you''re the one who said that."


    The employees of thepany were also discussing her.


    "So this is the real Roxanne. She won''t even support her disabled father. She’s heartless and


    ungrateful, just as people on the inte described her. What a cheap and shameless woman."


    "Because of how generous and open-minded she usually is, I didn''t expect her to have such a terrible


    character. She''s just as cheap and shameless as they say on the inte."


    Roxanne wasn''t angry. If she had allowed herself to feel anger, she would have perished long ago. No


    one would pity her even if she did. She wasn''t that foolish.


    The alley outside thepany building was as packed as it was yesterday. Despite trying to exit


    through the back door, she was still bombarded with trash, leaving her covered in filth.


    She was unable to push through and couldn''t get back home. Garbage and empty bottles rained down


    on her, causing her pain as well as creating an unbearable stench.


    She had thought that the most painful time of her life was when her parents abandoned her at the age


    of four. However, the present was proving to be even more agonizing. The online attacks from her


    biological father had turned her into the most heartless person on the inte.


    Those ‘concerned’ inte users were furious, and they were incessantly hurling trash at her with full


    force. It was like it was raining garbage.
