As Laura recounted how she was driven out, her jaw clenched and she purposely revealed that Loraine had
instructed the soldiers to do so.
Ashton’s mood darkened as he recalled his own unpleasant encounter at the hospital.
He felt humiliated by Loraine’s public actions and Marco’s warning.
With a disdainful snort, he remarked, “You have a good son. He's aiding his ex-wife in turning away visitors from
the hospital.”
Laura continued her tale of woe. “Neither Marco nor Loraine respects me. And now that Rowan is involved,
Loraine’s arrogance is bound to increase.”
Ashton’s eyes narrowed as he retorted, “That won't be the case. Rowan’s career has cto an end.”

Laura’s eyes sparkled with hope as she implored, “What can you do?
Don’t worry. As Long as | hold power in the future, Bryant Group will always stand by your side!”
“You're smarter than your son. This time, Rowan suffered severe injuries, and the mission might have failed. His
chances of undertaking future tasks and making contributions are slim, especially with a tarnished reputation.
He wouldn't be so close to Loraine, otherwise.”
Laura’s heart raced with anticipation as she exclaimed, “We can utilize the rumors to expose their collusion
beyond doubt! The photo is undeniable evidence!”
Ashton nodded in satisfaction, his eyes briefly revealing a lecherous glint as he patted her hand while admiring
her well-maintained appearance.
“The position of commander will be mine once Rowan is defeated. | won't forget your support.”
Laura understood his insinuation all too well.

As a widow who had been struggling for a Long twith an unreliable son, Laura had been seeking a man to
rely on, and now the opportunity was right in front of her. She felt a surge of excitement as she aligned herself
with Ashton’s plans.
Since the paparazzi refrained from spreading the photo, Laura decided to take matters into her own hands.
Laura posted an update on her social media account as soon as she returned home. The update implied that a
commander and a female CEO had colluded to prevent anyone from reporting their intimate photo.
While Laura refrained from mentioning any names, she mentioned their background.

It wasn’t long before someone in the comment section speculated that she was referring to Loraine and Rowan.
However, not many people were willing to believe Laura's claims. She and her daughter had spread rumors in
the past, and none of them had turned out to be true.
“Here comes Laura again, always picking on Loraine. It seems she just can’t stand to see Loraine living a better
life.”
“That's just another baseless accusation from Laura. She's not exactly known for her imagination or credibility.
Don’t take her words at face value.”
“Laura will probably post sdoctored photos later and make a fool of herself once again. It's hilarious, really.
She’s becthe
Laughingstock of the internet.”
