"What? He didn’t kill himself?" Noel was taken aback and continued to grab his hair.
Wayne realized that Noel seemed to be too exhausted. So, he got out of the car and yanked him out of the driver's seat, saying, Tl drive myself back. You can now go home on your own. And you can take the day off tomorrow." He then got into his car and drove away.
As Wayne predicted, many news outlets covered the story the next day. They said, "Lemon clothing violated the law by using toxic fabrics, causing the children of Flower orphanage to suffer. The president of the orphanage kidnapped Lemon's president's daughter in order to fight for his rights, and then was forced to commit suicide.”
The news almost destroyed Lemon. Anna had evidence that the company had previously been wrongfully accused, and she had the opportunity to prove her innocence. However, because Owen was no longer alive, the public began to blame her.
The damage to Lemon's reputation was insignificant to Wayne, but the netizens personal attacks on Anna and Tammy were too much for him to bear. He was furious as he sat in his office, reading the hateful comments.
And he didn't think twice about calling Noel, "Tell those media to delete the news within an hour. Block them, and don’t work with any of them later on"

Instead of stopping posting hate comments about Anna and Tammy, the netizens became more outrageous. Some people even began to use it to prove how chaotic society became.
The government had previously said it would conduct a thorough investigation into Lemon and had set a date for next week. However, because public opinion had recently begun to blame the regulators, they needed to move it up to provide an answer to the public as soon as possible.
Later, Anna arranged another meeting with the government and called Julia to gather all necessary information, samples, and inventory. As she returned from the balcony, she noticed Tammy leaning against the door in her pyjamas, watching her.
"Did | sleep for a long time. Mom?" Tammy had tightly hugged Anna before she could respond. She rubbed her cheek against Anna's tenderly.
As she stroked Tammy's hair, Anna murmured, "Yes, my dear. You've been sleeping for quite some time.”
Tammy couldn't hold back her tears any longer and quietly wiped her tears on Anna's shirt. She had just stood there, dazed, watching Anna's back.
"I'm hungry. Mom." Tammy smiled as she rubbed her stomach
"PIL call your dad and ask him to come back with Matthew, and we'll have dinner tonight. What would you like to eat?"

Undoubtedly, Tammy was always upbeat and cheerful. She ate her food and laughed happily as if she forgot the k"*****"*g that had happened to her earlier.
Sitting next to her, Anna gave her a friendly smile and said nothing. She knew Tammy best and Tammy wouldn't want to talk about unpleasant topics when she was enjoying her favorite food
"Why do you keep staring at me, Matthew?" Tammy asked. She was eating intently at the time, a grilled pizza in one hand and a lamb chop in the other. As she looked up and saw Matthew looking at her thoughtfully, she couldn't help but wipe her mouth with a paper towel.
Hearing that, Matthew lowered his head as his face flushed. Matthew and Tammy were both teenagers, so they were not as intimate as they used to be when they were younger. However, Matthew felt remorseful about the whole thing. After all, one of the most important things to him, who was twelve years old, was to protect his family.
"Why don't you drop out of school and work with me?" Matthew said as he ate his food, pretend not to be serious.
Tammy couldn't stop herself from devouring the delicious pizza and saying, "Sorry, but I'm not interested in corporate management. | still want to go to school.”
"Then I'll pick you up after school every day from now on," Matthew said, nodding.
“But...” Tammy tried to refuse him once more.
