She felt Brian shouldnât have said those words in the end.
He should have agreed to Noemiâs conditions first and then tried to persuade her later.
But she also knew that if Brian had done that, it would have created a rift between them.
A pang of sorrow tugged at her heart.
Somehow, she felt sorry for Brian.
Imagining him standing on the roof, facing Noemi, she understood the dilemma he must have faced.
Rosalynn read the comments section and felt a wave of despair.
It was almost completely overrun with negativity.
Netizens called her a temptress, accusing her of using her looks to stir up trouble.
Others berated Brian, labeling him a cold-blooded and an unfilial son.
Some comments even proposed boycotting all Hughes Group products, arguing that a cold-blooded man couldnât lead a team to produce anything good.
And the value and price of Hughes Group products were mismatched.
Brian was branded a leech, draining the money of all who trusted the Hughes Group.
Rosalynn couldnât bear to read more.
She closed the link, her hands trembling, and called Brian.
At that moment, Brian was waiting outside the emergency room at Skrix Hospital.
After Noemi fell down the building, she was rushed here and was now undergoing emergency treatment.
Brian stared intently at the red light above the emergency room, his mind replaying the scene of his mother falling.
He swallowed hard, unbuttoning his collar to relieve the pressure.
Noemi was his biological mother, after all.
If he had agreed to her demands at that moment, perhaps she wouldnât have ended up in the emergency room.
Just then, Edwin, who had been on calls non-stop, rushed into the hospital.
âMr.
Hughes, a swarm of reporters is outside eager to interview you,â he said, slightly out of breath.
âIâve had the hospital security keep them from entering.
â
Brian rubbed his weary forehead and asked hoarsely, âHow did the reporters get here so fast?â
âThere was a vlogger Live streaming on the rooftop at the time,â
Edwin replied.
âHer live stream pushed the news of your motherâs fall to the top of the trending list.
â
Brian narrowed his eyes, recalling the vloggerâs presence.
He had been so focused on Noemiâs safety that he hadnât given any further thought to the vlogger.
How coincidental that when Noemi jumped, there was someone Live streaming the entire incident?
âMr.
Hughes, our public relations team is already trying to manage the trending topic, but the live stream spread the news too quickly.
Theyâre having trouble containing it,â Edwin continued, his tone urgent.
