Chapter 216 Innocence Is A Great Taboo
The top floor office of the Campbell Group.

Gabriel turned on the projector in the lounge and tucked Leila into bed with a blanket. Where is the cleanliness obsession that forbids going to bed without taking a shower?
In order to prevent her daughter from getting bored when she occasionally comes over, the cool–toned lounge is filled with Leila’s favorite pink foxes.
Leila sat obediently on the bed, holding her doll, while her loving father covered her with a blanket and played cartoons for her.
Snacks and water were also prepared at the bedside table.
Gabriel was ready and then he spoke to his daughter, “Uncle is outside, call him if you need anything.”
Leila nodded, indicating him to lower his head.
With a smaXX, Gabriel’s cheek was kissed by Leila, and his heart softened, feeling as if she was comforting him.
He touched the child’s hair and said, “Leila is so well–behaved.”
Leaving the lounge, Gabriel’s face immediately turned cold.
At this moment, the lobby downstairs was already filled with journalists and live–streaming crowds from the self–media, which severely affected the public image of the Campbell Group.
And all of this, was the work of his biological father.
In the journalist’s camera, Andrew, still wearing the clothes from the mental hospital, accused Gabriel in front of everyone for sending him to the mental hospital just to silence him.
“Even if he was my own son, I could not tolerate him committing such a heinous crime against an innocent little girl!”
“Today, I am going to sever ties with my own family and clean up the unfilial descendants of our Campbell family! At the same time, I, on behalf of the Campbell family, acknowledge the child in the young girl’s belly. My son may not be a decent person, but the child in her belly is innocent. We, the Campbell family, will take full responsibility.”
And standing behind him at this moment was a woman, one hand on her waist and the other touching her belly, who was none other than Emma, who had been hiding for a long time.
It has been less than a month since Gabriel woke up in Andrew’s apartment.
Even if, she got caught that day, her belly didn’t show at all. Her current posture is really exaggerated.
Just about to tell the whole world: I was pregnant.
On her way to the airport in Russia, Emma was kidnapped by the people arranged by Wesley and was flown back home on a private plane the same day.
She knew she could receive such treatment solely because Wesley believed that the child in her belly was his seed.
If he had found out, it would have surely prevented her from seeing the sun of the next day, as this was actually the result of her impulsive actions with another man.
And at this moment, Andrew, who was crazily protecting her, was essentially the same as Wesley, both thinking that the baby in her belly was his.
Emma felt a satisfying sense of relief whenever she thought about how she had manipulated these men.
“Ms. Morris, is it true what Mr. Campbell’s father said? Is the child in your belly really Gabriel’s child?”
Do you have anything to add regarding the recent videos on the internet, Ms. Morris? Is it true that your boss forced you to do it?

Did you really violate the confidentiality agreement and disclose trade secrets to a competitor without authorization? Are your moral standards and legal awareness so low, considering you graduated from the University of Toronto?
The reporters‘ consecutive questions heightened the tension on the scene. Emma remained calm in the face of the previous questions, but upon hearing the last one, an uncontrollable fear suddenly surged in her heart.
Emma’s gaze fell on the face of the questioning female journalist, and the latter’s gaze met hers sharply, as if she knew her secret.
The café on the top floor of Westfield Southcenter.
Hazel sat by the window, able to see the continuous stream of journalists coming towards her from across the street, being blocked by the security guards of the Campbell Group,
She wore headphones and heard in the live video on her phone, Emma calmly answered, “Yes, I was mistreated by my former company boss!”
“The video is real! He forced me! I, a powerless and weak woman, how could I fight against capital? I thought compromising could bring me job opportunities, but I never expected him to be so unscrupulous.”
“If it were in the past, I would definitely proudly say that I am a graduate of the University of Toronto, but now I don’t want to tarnish my alma mater.”
“Today I am here to tell all the girls at the Campbell Group, who have experienced the same thing as me, that we

Several reporters in the hall, all from relatively authoritative newspapers in Seattle, felt somewhat awkward when they heard Emma’s increasingly passionate speech and were at a loss for words, even stumbling over their follow–up questions.
However, Hazel’s gaze focused on the face of the female journalist who asked Emma if she graduated from the University of Toronto. Did she just roll her eyes a moment ago?
Just as she was pondering, Shania sat down across from her.
She apologized, “Sorry, there was a bit of traffic, so I arrived late.”
Hazel: “No, I arrived too early.”
Today’s Shania, compared to her a month ago, has become much more mature and competent, and her also become more determined.
Was the package just wrapped too tightly?
eyes have
Noticing the ring on the woman’s hand, Hazel discreetly averted her gaze, picked up her coffee and took a sip, waiting for her to speak.
Just as the car was about to leave Westfield Southcenter, Hazel received a call from Shania, who wanted to discuss a collaboration with her.
“I had already gained control of Heart Pharmacal Company.”
“But I must also tell the truth, currently my father is still within the board of directors and his rights are no less than mine.”
One of the most essential aspects of cooperation is sincerity.
Heart Pharmacal Company, once considered a leading company in this industry, has now reached a point that is truly lamentable.
But in business, it’s a different story.
Hazel also admitted to Shania that her current strength and charisma were indeed not enough to qualify for the
collaboration in her hands.
“What if we add the Berger family?” Shania suddenly pulled out the marriage certificate, a hint of bitterness tugging at the corners of her mouth.

The mother with a love–struck mind, used Heart Pharmacal Company to win back her beloved man, while her daughter had to marry on her own in order to have a chance to reclaim the family fortune left by her grandfather. Hazel also knew the man who got married with Shania.
Roy, the eldest son of a Los Angeles jewelry tycoon, was also Sebastian’s childhood best friend. She had seen him many times during those three years at the Stevens‘ villa, but little did she know that the circle was so small.
“Ms. Bond, you were sincere, and I was also honest with you.”
“At present, there were two types of products that the laboratory could collaborate on and launch: one type was fertility drugs, and the other type was products for maintaining pregnancy.”
“Yesterday, the president of Lucky Pharmacal Company, Jennifer, contacted me, and I have already agreed to collaborate with her.”
Perhaps even Shania herself was confused, as yesterday was the last day of the “one–month period” she had asked Hazel for.
According to business practice, Hazel would not give her a second chance anymore, and being soft–hearted at work would not bring her many benefits.
Today, her willingness to come and see her again is already an exception.
Shania froze: “Yesterday? But we didn’t agree on…”
She suddenly remembered something, opened her phone and checked it, only to find that the time on her phone had been set back by one day.
Roy!
Shania gritted her teeth, foolishly accompanying him night after night, thinking it would earn her his help and support. And what was the result?
Before she started to explain, Hazel spoke first.
“Ms. Bond, in business, trust is primarily based on mutual interests.”
She curved her lips slightly and smiled, “And innocence, is a great taboo.”
As soon as the words fell, Hazel heard the intense sound coming from her headphones, and she turned over the phone on the table with the screen facing down.
Seeing the scene inside, her gaze suddenly sank. This woman never stops, right?
