She hurriedly ran over and pulled Nathan, who was clinging to Francis, down.
At once, Nathan shouted to Francis for help, “Uncle Francis, save me! I don’t want Aunt Alexis! She’s grabbing me again!”
The previously tense atmosphere was immediately eased. Smiling, Francis walked
over and sn atched Nathan into his arms.
As Samantha watched the trio fool around, her heart warmed at once.
She walked into the kitchen with a smile, only to be startled by the mess caused by Alexis. She started cleaning up Alexis’ mess while preparing dinner.
During dinner, nob*dy mentioned what happened outside. They shared amusing stories, and occasionally, Francis cracked a joke, making everyone laugh. Even Alexis couldn’t help but join in.
Francis and Alexis stayed until they successfully put Nathan to sleep before leaving. Samantha looked at the peacefully sleeping Nathan, wondering how she could repay
the debt she owed them.
The next day, Samantha initially had no intention of going to Ford Corporation.
However, considering that things were still unresolved, she went there after
sending Nathan to kindergarten.
From the moment she entered the door, all the way to the president’s office, everyone was looking at her.
She could even hear hushed discussions occasionally. Disdain and mockery could
be seen on their faces.
However, Samantha acted as if she hadn’t seen anything. She continued walking. forward with her head held high.
Compared to what she had been through before, what was happening now was
nothing.
During those four years abroad, while raising her child, she went from being an
unknown part-timer to becoming a renowned designer.

Along this journey, she had stepped on countless people. And she had lost count of
how many blows she had taken.
If she cared about others’ opinions and got upset because of them, she wouldn’t be able to achieve anything.
Kendrick was sitting in the office when Samantha entered, earnestly reviewing
documents. He looked worried.
A whole day had passed, yet Ford Corporation hadn’t found a solution. They just
continued to take down comments. It would only make the situation rebound faster.
However, in Samantha’s eyes, although Conrad had gone too far yesterday, it was
effective.
For the entire afternoon, Kendrick had not made any progress in solving the
company’s crisis. The public relations were solely held together by Jude.
Seeing Samantha enter, Kendrick just glanced up, saying nothing. He then
continued focusing on his work.
Samantha sat at her desk, pleased to see Kendrick’s behavior. It would be best for
him not to provoke her again. She wasn’t someone to mess with.
Opening her laptop, she checked the news about Ford Corporation and found that
the situation had worsened.
Shareholders clearly did not accept their proposed solution. And the media wouldn’t stop speculating and pressing for answers just because of a statement from the
company.
Not to forget the sock puppets Conrad had prepared. Despite Ford Corporation. spending a fortune on their own sock puppets, they couldn’t rival the overwhelming presence of the anti-sock puppets.
No matter where, whenever someone spoke in favor of Ford Corporation, they always became the target of public criticism.
Even Samantha was attacked.

Overall, the comments were harsh.
“Oh, you guys know nothing about Sophia. She won a major award at such a young age, the
returned home in glory. There must be some insider dealings going on.
She must have offered herself.”
“Exactly! Think back to that last building collapse incident. She’s a fashion designer. Why did she participate in architectural design? It’s not the same field. Of course,
accidents like that will happen.
“There must be someone in Ford Corporation supporting her. Or else, she wouldn’t act so recklessly. I’m telling you she must be some high-ranking personnel’s sugar
baby.”
“You’re right. Then there’s this new plagiarism incident. It’s truly shameful.”
Samantha read those comments coldly. In her mind, she wished for more hateful
comments, so that Ford Corporation could fall from grace.
She didn’t mind hateful comments about her because she worked hard to earn fame
just to use it against Kendrick.
Her fake identity was just a weapon of revenge.
After that, Samantha searched for Ford Corporation’s stock price. She felt much
better after seeing the parabolic decline.
Just then, Jude entered with a tablet and walked toward Kendrick.
“Mr. Ford, we found something.” After all this time, Jude finally had some
information.
Hearing that, Samantha was quite shocked. She didn’t expect Jude to be so efficient.
Kendrick nodded, and his cold expression softened slightly.
“We found the person who lost the sketch last time. He did act under Ms. Linda’s orders. After leaving Ford Corporation, he also received compensation from her.
“However, regarding this current matter… he insisted that he had already given the
sketch to Ms. Linda before leaving. No matter how he was interrogated, he didn’t.
reveal anything else.”
The result was within expectations.
