Lynette felt more aggrieved the more the servants spoke up for her. With tears welling up in her eyes, she bit her lips and cried, “Dad, even the servants trust me, and you’re the only one who doesn’t! Janet must have purposely complained about me to Mr. Lowry. She’s plotting to make use of the Lowry Family to get rid of our family! Now that you’re questioning me, you’ve actually fallen into her trap. She clearly wants to damage our relationship. Don’t you understand, Dad? ”
Hearing Lynette’s complaint, Ronald, who was initially as firm as a rock, started wavering.
Just as he was pondering and about to say something, his phone started buzzing.
Clicking into his mailbox, he saw an email from Mason, and so he quickly clicked on it to read the content.
However, as soon as he read the email, he felt his whole world crumble.
Mason had sent him a picture of the posts that Lynette had published and her account, and the IP address shown in the account was exactly the Shields Family’s!
No other person would have committed this crime except Lynette!
Blood boiling, Ronald nearly passed out.
Noticing the change in her father’s expression, Lynette discreetly walked up to read the content, thereafter she instantly slumped on the floor.
“I-It can’t be!”
With her face as pale as a sheet, Lynette sat weakly on the ground as she was in disbelief.
The account and IP address shown on the screen were exactly hers!
Ronald threw the phone to her and shouted ferociously, “You better explain yourself!”
Pouting her lips, Lynette couldn’t say a word.
“Could it be a misunderstanding, Mr. Shields? Or they could have made a mistake. Miss Shields would not do such things!”
“Yeah. Miss Shields has been writing her self-reflection essay these few days and hasn’t stepped out of the house at all.”
With that, Lynette wore an even more resentful expression.
“Dad, I—”
“Shut up!” Ronald retorted instantly before Lynette could finish her sentence.
Ashen-faced, Lynette clenched her fists so tightly that even her nails dug into her palm.
“Now, the Lowry Family has made it clear that they will not let us off. In the past half an hour, the stock price of Shields Enterprise has plummeted greatly and at this rate, the company will go bankrupt within a week!”
At once, there was a sudden change in everyone’s expression as if the blood in their bodies had congealed.
“How could this have happened? If Shield Enterprise goes bankrupt, all of us will be retrenched!”
“How did it turn out to be this serious?”
“Miss Shields, you didn’t do this, did you?”
None of them had expected the consequence to be this dire.
Meanwhile, Lynette lay paralyzed on the floor and couldn’t even bring herself to stand up.
Shaking her head vigorously, she muttered, “Th-This is impossible!”
Mason is actually setting himself against our family for the sake of Janet? How is this possible?
“Please call Uncle Fass, Dad. He might have a solution!”
Fass Leonard was a successful businessman and had many connections, so Lynette thought her uncle might be able to lend a hand.
Rubbing his temples, Ronald heaved a deep sigh. It seems like this is the only way now.
With that, he had no choice but to make the call.
He waited on the line for quite some time, but the call still wasn’t answered.
Furrowing his brow, Ronald looked anxious and impatient.
Just as he was about to hang up the call and redial, a deep, feeble voice emerged from the other end of the line.
“Hello?”
