Chapter 160: Embellishing The Story
Roxanne asked, “What’s going on, Mr. Smith? Doesn’t she have to work?”
Henry stood in front of the camera to the live-stream. With a frown and a plaintive look on his face, he replied, “No, she’s unemployed. When she was with us, she mooched off her aunt and me. I heard that she also hasn’t been working ever since the Andersons took her back with them. It’s already ten in the morning, yet she’s still asleep. Neither does she take care of her child, but leaves them to survive on their own instead. Sigh!”
Melissa said, “Nora sleeps in because she’s in poor health! She lost a lot of blood during labor back then, so she doesn’t have much energy and has to sleep more than what ordinary people do! Also, ever since she moved to the Andersons, Nora has never asked us for living expenses! She has a source of income!”
Wendy sighed. “That’s because you don’t know that her income comes from the small company that her mother owned before she died, Melissa. There are thousands of dollars in dividends every month from the company…”
Melissa was about to speak when Henry held his hands behind his back and said fiercely, “I’m just here for my child today. I’m not trying to take her from you! It’s just that I’m ultimately still her father. How can the Andersons just take her here after they found her, and forbid her from contacting me? We’re family! Blood is thicker than water!”
His eyes reddened as he spoke.
Henry was actually decent-looking. He had a squarish face, thick eyebrows, and big eyes, making him look like an upright man. His behavior instantly sparked intense discussion among netizens.
People were leaving comments at high speed in Roxanne’s live-stream:
‘She’s refusing to acknowledge her father? What kind of reasoning is that?’
‘That Cinderella must find her father too tacky after she became a princess!’
‘The Andersons are too much. They look like decent human beings, but how can they stop them from acknowledging each other?! They’re father and daughter, after all!’
‘Ms. Smith is still asleep even at this time? She sounds like such an unreliable person… What’s the point of bringing such a woman back home?’
‘Wow, is this what the wealthy look like? That house looks so high-end!’
…
All sorts of discussions filled the live-stream.
No one knew who it was, but someone had put money into the live-stream and increased the traffic, causing Roxanne’s live-stream to instantly have more than a million viewers.
Everyone loved gossip. Moreover, this was about the secrets of the rich. Once one entered the live-stream, they would want to know what exactly was going on.

In the university.
Tina, who was surfing the Internet on her cell phone, accidentally saw a post on Angela’s social media. She immediately broke into a smile and entered the live-stream
Tina raised her eyebrows when she saw the exciting content inside.
Tsk.
How lively.
She had originally kept Angela with her just to give Nora trouble, but she didn’t expect to receive such a surprise!
Abandoning one’s father—now, that was an awful offense to be known for among the wealthy.
After all, one was indebted to their parents for raising them, no matter what.
Besides, most of the general public sympathized with the underdog, causing the comments to be filled with condemning voices directed at Ms. Smith!
Tina smiled. Suddenly, she picked up her cell phone and paid to promote the live-stream on social media so that it would trend. At the same time, she also got a group of trolls to leave comments in the live-stream.
‘The Andersons? Aren’t they the family behind Harmonia Pharmacy?’
‘Harmonia Pharmacy? The one selling traditional medicine? Their medicines are pretty good. I’ve always thought that people in the field of medicine are kind-hearted, but unexpectedly, they’re actually involved in gossip like this?’
