Chapter 222 Scandal

Chapter 222 Scandal

The moment Noelle and Sebastian stepped into Summit House, Lucas lunged for a hug.

They stepped aside in perfect sync.

Lucas grabbed nothing.

He stumbled, almost face–planting, caught himself, then shot them a glare. “You two are heartless!”

Sebastian gave him a cold look. “Use words. Keep your hands to yourself.”

Then, he helped Noelle sit down.

Noelle’s smile was soft and bright.

“You heartless pair. I even ordered your favorite dishes,” Lucas grumbled, dropping into a chair. “Noelle, I heard you went full boss mode at IBI. Spill it. What did you do this past month?”

Noelle tipped her lips. “Hmm, just normal stuff. Nothing worth bragging about.”

“Quit acting. Spill it.”

Noelle and Lucas always clicked. Once they got started, they didn’t stop. Sebastian wasn’t talkative. He sat next to her and looked at her warmly, dropping her favorite bites on her plate now and then.

Suddenly, his phone lit up.

He glanced at it, eyes narrowing, then set it in front of Noelle.

“Noey, the Kains are trending.”

Noelle skimmed the screen. Headlines jumped out.

“The Kains‘ Eldest Son Is Suspected of Harassing His Stepmother”

“The Kains‘ Scandal”

“Jasper Kain”

Photos of the estate and a blurry shot of Jasper filled the article. Comments exploded.

[Wow. Classic rich folks–they really know how to live it up!]

[Stepmom and adopted son? That’s wild!]

[Jasper looks proper. I never expected him to be so disgusting in privatel]

[That stepmom is only in her 20s. I heard she used to work in a nightclub. She’s no good either!]

Noelle smiled, thinking Louise had moved fast. Now it was her turn.

The Kains‘ scandal shot up the trending list.

Chapter 222 Scandal

Kain Group’s stock tumbled. Executives were furious at Jasper.

“We have to remove Jasper as CEO now!”

“This scandal ruins our image!”

“If this continues, Kain Group is done!”

Outside, angry netizens swarmed the Kain Group gate, waving signs and blocking the entrance.

“Kick Jasper out!”

“People like him don’t deserve to be CEO!”

“He harassed his stepmom, caused a scandal, and still runs the company? Boycotting everything from the Kain Group!”

“Me too!”

“Mr. Kain, people online are going too far.” The assistant looked at Jasper in a panic. “Maybe skip work for a few days. If the media and netizens trap you, it’ll get ugly.”

“No need.” Jasper looked gloomy, grabbed his jacket, and shrugged it on. “Online noise isn’t worth my time. Going home now just feeds them what they want.”

The executives were frustrated because they needed him to calm the situation quickly. Hiding at home would ruin him.

At the Kain’s estate, Gresham was raging as well.

After the scandal broke, his pride was crushed.

Now, everyone knew his young wife and his son were tangled up.

They were laughing at him behind his back.

“Honey…” Louise snuggled close, voice soft. “The rumors are nasty, and the stock is dropping. I think it’s time you acted.”

“What do you mean?” Gresham frowned.

“You’re Kain Group’s founder. But now Jasper runs most of it while you’re stuck at home. Don’t you want to take back control? I think you should call a board meeting.”
