Chapter 40
At this moment, on the top floor of the tallest building in Beloris.
The huge space of several hundred square meters, with only a desk and a sofa, was empty and cold.
Angie’s cousin–in–law was browsing the trending media with a gloomy look.
He said in a low voice, “What are you doing here? Why do you report this kind of thing so late?”
Bill and Richard looked at each other and said, “It’s our fault. Please calm down.”
“Calm down?”
Roderick sneered.
“Half a minute. If this man still appeared on the internet, you two can get out of here.”
“Yes, Mr. Lambert. I’ll deal with it right away!
Bill hesitated and said, “Mr. Lambert, should we suppress those unfavorable comments? And the Smith Media Group…”
Hearing this, Roderick gave him a strange look.
“Huh?! Do I even have to teach you this kind of thing?”
“Yes, Mr. Lambert. I’ll do it right away.”
Seeing that Roderick was about to lose his temper, Bill was so scared that he sweated.
As soon as Bill bowed out of the office, Richard greeted him.
“Well, what did Mr. Lambert say? Ms. Robertson is so indifferent to him. Should we interfere with this?” Richard asked.
Bill slapped him.
“You idiot! Who is Ms. Robertson? Mr. Lambert’s woman and Elias’s mother, do you think it’s none of your business?”
Richard was angry.
He said, “Didn’t you say that Ms. Robertson dares to be indifferent to Mr. Lambert? Give her a hard time!”
Bill hurried forward to cover Richard’s mouth.
Bill shouted, “You idiot! Do you want to die? How dare you mention this? Mr. Lambert’ll kill you!”
They hurriedly went downstairs to deal with the matter.
In the office, Roderick looked at the sunset and frowned.
He was missing Melanie and wanted to know what she was doing.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
But as soon as he saw the content on his phone, his face immediately darkened.
There was a video on the phone.
Melanie was at the airport.
A handsome middle–aged man was standing opposite her.
They talked happily.
The point was that they were still holding hands!
Bang!
It made a loud noise.
Roderick thought, ‘What’s the relationship between them?
This man is not from the Thomas family. How could she be so close to him?”
“Check it out for me!” Roderick roared.
At the airport, Melanie and Jordon were in their final stages of conversation.
Melanie, Angie, and Jordon hugged each other and said goodbye. This scene was recorded by Damian.
Soon, Roderick saw the hug and his face darkened.
He asked, “Did you find out?”
Timothy reported, “Mr. Lambert, I only know that the man’s name is Jordon who
arrived in Zerivia at the beginning of this year, is a doctor in Privilege Hospital and also the core doctor for this diagnosis.”
“Okay.”
Hearing this, Roderick looked a little better.
Timothy seized the opportunity to explain.
“Mr. Lambert, I think Ms. Robertson and this man have a close relationship, but they are completely just friends. Don’t overthink it.”
“What?”
Roderick snorted coldly, and his eyes appeared a trace of coldness behind the glasses.
“No, Mr. Lambert. It’s right to think about it.”
Timothy hurriedly changed his mind and said, “I will follow Ms. Robertson closely‘ to find every man beside her.”
Roderick snorted.
Hearing this snort, Timothy hurried out of the office.
Seeing Timothy come out, Bill immediately stepped forward.
“How’s it going, Timothy? How is Mr. Lambert feeling?”
“Bill, how about you report it to Mr. Lambert next time? It’s so scary.” Timothy wiped his sweat.
“Cut the crap! This is a good chance for you to show up in front of Mr. Lambert,”
Bill said.
He grabbed Timothy’s ear.
“Be merciful,” Timothy begged for mercy.
Richard frowned.
Richard said, “Bill, I don’t think we can go on like this. We will be scared to death sooner or later. We have to find a way to make Mr. Lambert happy.”
Bill also looked helpless.
He asked, “What can we do?”
“Why don’t we go to Dr. Gibson? He has a lot of ideas,” Richard said.
Bill’s eyes lit up when he heard this.
“I think so. Let’s go.”
They did what they said.
Michael agreed with Bill and promised to get results soon.
Melanie and Angie went back to Harbour Villa. As soon as they finished lunch, Angie shouted again.
“Melanie, look! That influencer is in trouble now. Funny!”
Melanie asked, “Huh? The one is going to sue us?
Angie couldn’t help laughing.
“Yeah, I don’t know who is so powerful. He has been bribed many times and slandered innocent people.”
Angie exclaimed again less than half a minute after browsing her phone.
“Wow, amazing. The top ten of the trending topics are all about the Robertson. family. If this goes on like this, the popularity won’t decrease in three months.”
“What are you shouting about? Didn’t you ask someone to do it?” Melanie asked.
Angie waved her hand quickly.
“I’m not so generous. I can’t handle it without millions of dollars.
“Even the Smith family is exposed. I can’t do it.”
Hearing this, Melanie turned on the computer and watched it silently for a while without saying a word.
“Melanie, who is so kind and helpful to us?”
Angie deliberately played dumb.
She added, “There are many good people in Beloris.”
Melanie glanced at her, snorted, and went back to her room.
Angie was still shouting after her.
“Who is this unsung hero, Melanie? Shouldn’t we thank him?”
With a bang, Melanie closed the door and shut out Angie’s noise.
Angie stuck out her tongue proudly and took out her phone. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Angie: [Dr. Gibson, why did you suddenly ask me out? I won’t go out until you make it clear.]
Michael: [Angie, I’m a single man asking you out. What else can it be?]
Angie: [Well, don’t be like that. You still want to cheat me. If you don’t explain it clearly, you won’t see me. Humph.]
Angie proudly sent a picture of “waiting for you to beg for mercy“.
In less than half a second, Michael responded.
Michael: [Well, my dear lady, don’t you want your cousin to be seeing a good man?]
Angie smiled and texted, [You mean you want to ask my cousin Melanie out?]
Michael: [No, no, no. I dare not.]
Michael sent over a pleading emoji.
Michael: [I’m talking about my cousin, Roderick.]
[Oh, I see] Angie pretended to hesitate for a few seconds.
Angie replied, [The son of Lambert family? So what? If my cousin Melanie doesn’t care for him, neither do I.]
After saying that, Angie turned off the phone.
Imagining Michael being crazy, she laughed out loud.
