Chapter 116: Chapter 116

And Helen Hale is so flustered, it clearly indicates that the situation is not as she claimed.

Although the reporters at the scene were invited by the Hale Family, not all of them were bribed.

Some reporters have already started filming.

From the screen, the conversation between the two can be heard clearly, and their actions can be seen.

Paige Sterling stood there the entire time and didn’t push Helen Hale; Helen Hale fell on her own.

After watching the video, the scene was in an uproar, none expected the truth to be , and that Paige Sterling surprisingly had such evidence in hand.

No wonder Paige Sterling was so fearless.

Paige looked at Helen Hale’s twisted face, "Miss Hale, believe it or not, I originally planned to give you some dignity; after all, being so stupid and ugly, losing face too makes you pitiful."

She smiled, "That’s why I reminded you several times, be careful of surveillance, and afterward, considering your injury, I didn’t immediately release the footage, but since you are shameless, why should I be considerate?"

Helen Hale’s chest heaved continuously, she’s ruined!

Damn Paige Sterling! She had surveillance evidence but never released it, she did it on purpose!

"Miss Hale, in the future, remember to check more carefully before doing such things."

Helen Hale gritted her teeth, "Where did you get the surveillance footage?"

Paige touched her wristwatch, and Helen Hale stared at it furiously; from that angle, it couldn’t have been filmed from the wrist’s position.

"Of course, I have more than one camera on me."

Paige addressed everyone, "I advise everyone here, in the future, don’t come trying to trick me, my entire body is equipped with surveillance, okay?"

Then Paige left, and no one tried to stop her.

Reporters crazily surrounded Helen Hale for interviews; some felt deceived by her, transferring all previous curses aimed at Paige onto Helen Hale.

The bodyguards tried to protect Helen Hale as she left, but at that moment, someone splashed a bottle of foul-smelling liquid directly on Helen Hale’s face.

"Scheming bitch! Pretending to be pitiful and deceiving us for sympathy, why don’t you go die!"

Helen Hale wished she could kill the person who splashed her, but the scene was too chaotic, making it impossible to identify the culprit.

This incident caused such a stir online, and once it was reversed, not only was it overturned, but it slapped Helen Hale’s face thoroughly.

Now not only Helen Hale lost face, but Apex Group also followed suit.

Some even began conspiracy theories, believing Penson seized Apex’s market, causing Apex to deliberately send their daughter to frame Paige Sterling.

After all, Apex had done such things before, and they had been exposed with many nasty deeds previously.

One included targeting people’s minor daughters to swallow up small companies.

Apex’s reputation plummeted, and sales were even worse.

Even Apex’s shareholders blamed Dad Hale, questioning why he provoked Penson.

Now that’s good, not only did they fail to knock Penson down, they got into trouble, troubling the entire Apex. The source of this content ɪs 𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚕·𝚏𝚒𝚛𝚎·𝚗𝚎𝚝

Dad Hale had unspeakable grievances.

He never imagined an assured victory would end in complete defeat.

After this incident, Paige Sterling didn’t spend much attention on Helen Hale.

Even less so for Apex.

For irrelevant people, she saw no need to invest her concern.

The online debate around this incident was monitored by Old Master Hawthorne.

Initially, he worried about Paige Sterling, but didn’t expect her to avert defeat without shedding a drop of blood, delivering a great turnabout.

She’s charming yet confident; facing challenges with composure, no wonder she captured his grandson’s heart.

Old Master Hawthorne thought, with both his grandson and granddaughter-in-law being so outstanding, the future grandchildren surely would be too.

Oh wow, their Hawthorne family must have a lucky charm, each generation better than the last.

Thinking this, the old master smoothly smeared some hair growth cream on his scalp.

Though he used it sparingly this time, Old Master Hawthorne’s hair growth cream quickly ran out again.

Having used it all, of course, he had to seek more from Simon Hawthorne.

The few boxes purchased last time were shared among the other elderly folks, and naturally, they ran out quickly. Hence, many came to Old Master Hawthorne seeking more.

The crowd energetically flattered Old Master Hawthorne with exaggerated praises, and thus, he agreed to distribute one box each.

Because of the significant effect of the hair cream, these old folks showed off everywhere. Now, more than ten elderly sought Old Master Hawthorne.

Over ten boxes, that’s quite a lot, causing him some worry.

Simon Hawthorne mentioned it’s hard to procure, having only managed a few boxes before; can ten plus boxes be sourced?

However, since promises were made, if Simon Hawthorne failed to deliver, wouldn’t it be embarrassing?

Thus, Old Master Hawthorne had no choice but to trouble Simon Hawthorne.

Upon learning that the old master promised more than ten boxes, Simon’s face turned green.

Sonny Chambers was so cunning; previously Simon had to pay extra to obtain those few boxes from him. Now, with an additional dozen needed, he feared Sonny would exploit him greatly.

"Grandpa, how could you agree without telling me first, where am I supposed to get so many?"

Old Master Hawthorne said, "Just offer more money, surely they’ll sell, right?"

Simon’s explanation was that the hair growth cream was produced by villagers abroad, who rarely sell their products, making it difficult to acquire.

Simon regrets his previous boasting, finding Old Master Hawthorne’s casual remark frustratingly naive.

Is it a money problem? It’s clearly "money-can’t-buy" issue!

Seeing his worried expression, the old master felt guilty too, "I’ve promised them, failing to deliver would be embarrassing for me, wouldn’t it?"

Then hurriedly stuffed several checks into Simon’s hands.

Simon used to love receiving checks, but now they felt scorching hot in his hand.

Pushed by the old master, he had no choice but to seek Sonny Chambers.

This time, Sonny Chambers firmly refused to sell, even more resolutely than before.

Of course, he was ashamed to say he got discovered by Paige Sterling and dared no longer.

With Sonny unwilling to sell, Simon grew anxious, "Is it that the money’s not enough? Here, take them all..."

Sonny Chambers eyed the checks, swallowed hard, and quickly acted unfazed by money, "I said I’m not selling, I meant it. Hurry up and leave me alone."

Afraid Simon might chase and question further, Sonny had his robot quickly drive Simon away, lest the secret of selling Paige’s goods got exposed, bringing shame.

Unable to secure any hair cream, Simon became anxious.

It’s finished, and never expected the old master’s request would likely lead to a beating upon return.
