Because it was Olivia Thompson’s birthday, the kids were all up very late, and finally, Justin Battleson and Charlotte Thompson teamed up and, by threatening that they still had to go to kindergarten tomorrow, managed to coax the children to bed.
Justin Battleson and Charlotte Thompson finally relaxed and went back to their room to rest.
The next morning, Charlotte received a call from Jack Bryant while she was on her way to work.
"Madam, there has been progress regarding the matters from back then."
"Keep investigating." A fierce look flashed in Charlotte’s eyes.
The incident Charlotte had Jack Bryant investigate was precisely Aunt Watson’s affair.
She was well aware that Aunt Watson had been killed by Mia Stewart, but back then had had to release Mia due to insufficient evidence.
Afterward, due to various experiences, Charlotte never had the chance to investigate the truth of this matter.
This was now the first step in bringing down the Allen family.
Suddenly, Charlotte’s phone received a notification.
She glanced at it and recognized her own name prominently displayed.
"Famous designer Charlotte Thompson actually did such a thing to her biological father..."
Charlotte felt a wave of disgust at this clickbait article.
But now, since she had continually refused the Allen family the day before, Charlotte was curious to see what Ethan Allen could come up with next.
Another reporter from a news agency uploaded a video, which was precisely the one where Ethan Allen had caused a scene at the nursery school gate, and subsequently, Charlotte had him disciplined.
However, the video did not show Ethan Allen’s actions toward the children but only Charlotte ordering her bodyguards to seize the Allen family members.
The video was not only secretly recorded but had also been edited, and overall, it portrayed Charlotte as bullying the Allen family members and being cold and harsh to her own biological father.
This video was far more damaging than the few words Ethan Allen had posted on Twitter the day before, and netizens began a frenzied discussion.
Those who were originally skeptical were now switching sides, accusing Charlotte of being unfilial.
Moreover, someone had dug up a video from the time Lucas Allen went to find Charlotte in a café, showing Charlotte having security drag Ethan Allen away.
This undoubtedly added a heavy blow to the situation.
Public opinion on the internet started to lean heavily one way, and traffic skyrocketed within an hour.
What modern netizens loved most was watching drama unfold.
"I feel like these past few days, I’ve been like a monkey in a melon field, jumping all over the place."
"So is this melon ripe then?"
"The video has already been released; this is totally a knockout."
"I used to support her, but now I’ve turned against her. I never thought she would be this kind of person."
However, a few of Charlotte’s fans still chose to support her, and there were also some onlookers who were watching.

It seems that was also due to something related to Charlotte.
Just as netizens were preparing their popcorn and drinks for the show, the media had already blocked the entrance to Charlotte’s company at the Riley Group.
Charlotte sat in the car, watching the eager reporters from afar, with no intention to get out.
Justin Battleson looked up, his expression carrying a hint of displeasure.
Soon, security from the Riley Group came to clear out the reporters. Although the reporters were reluctant, they were still intimidated by the power of the Riley Group, and a few who tried to sneak in or blend in were stopped successfully by the security.
Yet, at this time, Charlotte walked boldly through the main entrance of the Riley Group, while the reporters could only watch from a distance.
