Chapter 213 Trouble At Home

After the effect of the anesthesia wore off, Ethan woke up and looked at the familiar ceiling above him in a daze.
Hazel: “Woke up.”
Hazel, who was originally lying on the couch resting, got up upon hearing the noise and looked at Ethan with a bewildered expression. She sighed in her heart.
“Is there anywhere else that doesn’t feel comfortable?”
Ethan turned his head and saw the concern in her eyes, and the barrenness in his heart blossomed with tender shoots. Just then, someone entered from outside the door.
He immediately accused, “Sister, Brother Jin deliberately reduced the dosage of anesthesia for me, my wound hurts so much…”
The man who came in through the door gave him a direct punch.
“You hypocritical man, if it weren’t for me being strong, your guts would have been dancing out, and you dare to badmouth me in front of the boss?”
“Brother Jin, how could you say such words? Fine, fine, fine, everything is my fault, can’t I admit it? I only ask that you don’t treat others like this in the future. It’s fine if I’m the only one suffering, but please don’t let… sob!”
Jin Shixiong, as he spoke, took a big step forward and extended his slender fingers, directly pinching his incessantly chattering thin lips.
The ward became instantly quiet.
Man: “You were too noisy.”
Ethan glared at the man with a pout, and the latter smirked.
Hazel took a medical cotton swab and dipped it in warm water, saying, “Lao Jin, don’t bother arguing with him. He’s not much older than Leila in his mind.”
“His lips were dry, and he let go.”
The man released his hand upon hearing the words.
Ethan immediately snorted and said, “Sis, look at him!”
“What your senior brother said makes sense.”
Hazel moistened his dry lips with a little water and said with a smile, “Every beating you endured was not unjust.”
She knew Ethan was deliberately adjusting the atmosphere to make everyone relax, so she went along with what he said.
Brother Jin, who came in, checked Ethan’s body and then left.
There were only Hazel and him left in the ward.
“By the way, why did you bind so much money to Leila’s children’s watch? She’s only a few years old, aren’t you afraid she’ll be deceived?”
Ethan turned his head and looked up at the ceiling, arrogantly saying, “Anyway, all my money ended up going to Leila. Whether she spends it early or late, it’s all spending. What’s wrong with giving her the privilege to enjoy it in advance? I’m happy to spoil her.”
With that, he thought about giving Leila a video call.
And then, trouble happened as soon as they started fighting.
Ignoring his wound, Ethan immediately sat up, squinting his sharp eyes as he caught sight of the man behind Leila in the video, his expression turning very unpleasant.
He hurriedly covered the phone receiver and looked at Hazel, gesturing with his eyes for her to come closer.

Ethan lowered his voice and asked, “How did Leila end up at Gabriel’s house? Did he… find out?”
Hazel nodded.
Seeing him getting angry, she patted his shoulder to signal him to calm down first: “He knew, but Leila didn’t recognize him.”
Ethan: “Did you still call his uncle?”
Hazel nodded again.
Upon hearing this, Ethan let out a sigh of relief and happily chatted with Leila, who had managed to cheer him up.
After hanging up the phone, he hurriedly covered his wound and said, “Sister, quickly! Call Brother Jin back, I feel like my wound has reopened.“..
Hazel: “…”
Leila, in the Robinson’s villa, refused to move into Gabriel’s house at Top Villa, no matter what he said.
There was no other choice, so he had to let his two sons also stay at the Robinson’s villa.
Mom was not at home, so Jaxon and Joshua took on the responsibility of putting Leila to sleep. However, Leila didn’t need much coaxing; she just went to sleep when it was time.
Gabriel slept in the children’s room next to the master bedroom.
He would wait every day until the three children fell asleep before going back. The door was left open to prevent the children from waking up from nightmares at night and not being able to find anyone.
He had just laid down for a few minutes today when his phone started vibrating intensely.
It was Ezra’s phone.
His voice was urgent and filled with tension: “Mr. Campbell, someone has posted a video on the internet of you forcing Emma. We have already contacted the website administrator to take down the video as soon as possible, but currently, the video has already surpassed twenty million views and is still increasing.”
If this
it had happened in America,
could have been resolved immediately.
Unfortunately, the other party chose the foreign network.
matter
Gabriel had already been mentally prepared long before the incident
happened.
The secret that could make his father, a person like him, bear the pain and swallow it, definitely wouldn’t be as simple as just drugging him.
“Contact Matthew about this matter and hand it over to him for handling.”
“Okay! I will go right away!”
After Ethan’s mood did not worsen, Hazel arranged male nursing for him.
She prepared to make a trip back to her estate in Canada at night to see how Lucia, who was filming here, was doing.
Just as she had sat in the car, she received this video sent by Johnson.
Even though the people inside were dressed up to look like him, she still recognized at first glance that this man was not Gabriel. However, at the same time, she had to admit that this man’s back really resembled his. The process of the video was truly unbearable to watch, but due to its sensitive content, it went viral on various
websites.
The other party gave this video an extremely explosive title.
“The richest man in a certain country abused his female secretary. How should women seek justice?”

Although the video was posted on the foreign internet, nowadays, internet users in America have become proficient in using VPNs to bypass the Great Firewall, and soon there were censored screenshots circulating within the country.
“The beastly president and the alluring secretary”
“Work during the day, warm the bed at night, the nightmare of the working class.”
“The female secretary did not completely disappear from behind.”
Hazel sat in the car,
one topic after another slipping away, her gaze somewhat solemn.
Emma was determined to break the jar.
Even though Gabriel later explained that he was framed, at that time, the impact of these trending topics on the company’s stock had already occurred on the internet.
The value of those stocks, even if Emma was killed, might not be recovered.
Does public opinion’s suppression have an impact on those in power?
Yes, but it is not absolute.
Hazel knew that Gabriel would not sit idly by, but he did not understand the resentment towards the wealthy from
some internet users.
As long as they were given the opportunity, regardless of whether it was true or false, they would immerse themselves in the role of God and start proudly criticizing.
In response to the false trending topic content on the internet, the Campbell Group quickly conducted an emergency public relations campaign.
On the public platform, it was clarified at the first time that the person in the video was not Gabriel, and evidence of Emma’s misconduct and violation of regulations in her work was also provided. Dismissal and compensation investigation are part of the normal process.
But the netizens who were eating melons simply didn’t believe any

the comments below the clarification news, and there was no surprise.
Driven by emotions, some netizens spontaneously spread sharp curses online, unaware that they were the least costly weapon in the hands of the orchestrators of this incident.
Hazel arranged for a flight back to her home country tomorrow morning and then drove back to the estate.
Just one night of fermentation.
The external reporting email set up by the Campbell Group was filled with abusive and foul language emails from
netizens.
The people in the public relations department had prepared a series of response plans, but they couldn’t withstand the waves of revelations.
The next morning, someone else exposed the embarrassing photos of Emma being kicked out of the car while accompanying Gabriel to the banquet.
Emma stayed in the hospital for a week after getting injured. Despite being such a big company, the Campbell Group did not have any leaders come to visit and offer their condolences. In fact, she even received termination and accountability contracts during her hospital stay.

taken into a car.
These frequent explosive revelations followed one after another.
Just like the emotional turmoil tailored in advance for Gabriel.

Hazel slept with Lucia at the mansion last night. Seeing her best friend in Canada taking good care of her emotions and looking even more energetic than her, Hazel felt genuinely happy for her from the bottom of her heart.
Knowing that Alfred is going to bring Elizabeth to act in a foreign film, coincidentally, it is the one Lucia is currently shooting. She has already been considering asking Johnson to arrange some brothers on the set. Hazel took the earliest flight to Seattle, and there were not many people in the first–class cabin.
She came a little later.
There was a man sitting next to me.
Some familiar cold sandalwood scent, accompanied by the refreshing fragrance of aftershave, invaded her
nostrils.
… It was actually him.
