Chapter 621 Trending
Although Steven mocked Samuel and Natalie, he felt happy for them on the inside.
Moments later, the four children got changed and came running down the stairs.
“Uncle Steven.”
Hearing their cute voices made Steven shudder involuntarily.
He knew they were up to no good from how politely they greeted him. Therefore, it was a natural reaction.
“W-What do you want from me? Hmm, name it, and I’ll do everything I can.” He spoke as though he had prepared to die.
Sitting beside Steven, Franklin took a sip of milk before he commented, “Uncle Steven, did you hit your head?”
“Nope.”
“Why do you think we want something from you then?” The boy rolled his eyes.
“Oh? Aren’t you going to ask me for a favor?” Steven cautiously asked, afraid that it was a trap that the children had plotted.
“Uncle Steven, we don’t have anything to ask of you!” Sophia broke off a piece of her croissant and held it out for Steven. “Mommy told us not to bully you. She said you let us be because you adore us, not because you fear us. When we meet bad people, we retaliate. However, if we meet people who like us and treat us well, we can’t take advantage of that and lose our temper.”
Sophia was a glut. Therefore, it was rare to see her share her food with others.
Yet, she was willing to split her croissant with Steven, which meant a lot. As such, he felt touched by her gesture.
“Thank you, Sophia.”
As Steven was about to take the piece from Sophia, Samuel came between them and snatched it away. Then, he took a bite of the pastry.
“Sam, how could you take what Sophia offered me!” Steven stared at Samuel in disbelief.
“Gavin, Steven likes to eat croissants. You can bring him another two plates of it,” Samuel instructed Gavin before turning back to his brother. “It’s a piece from my daughter. Aren’t you afraid you might suffer from diarrhea after eating it?”
“Sam, you-”
Steven could not help but groan internally. The four children had stopped bullying him, but his brother was starting to torment him now.
Slowly tearing up the bread from Sophia, Samuel savored every bite of it.
Watching the scene, Natalie felt the corners of her lips lifting into a smile.
After breakfast, the four children climbed onto the Rolls-Royce to head to their kindergarten.
Samuel and Steven left together while Natalie stayed home. She headed straight to the study on the second floor after sending them out.
Holding a cup of hot coffee in her hands, she glanced at the information on her computer screen and grinned before tapping on her mouse to click on the confirmation button.
Within thirty minutes, Thomas Nichols was trending on Twitter.
There were hashtags on how heartless the head of Dexmed Pharmaceutical acted and how he sent his wife to the mental hospital soon after his daughter’s death.
He was being condemned for the way he treated his wife.
Under those trending tags, countless users started criticizing him for his behavior.
He was only the boss of a company in the past. However, he was a notorious uncaring man to them now.
The negative comments also affected Dexmed Pharmaceutical’s share prices. Within twenty minutes of the opening of the market, it started falling.
Meanwhile, Thomas was having a discussion with the management when Cayden urgently knocked on his door. The assistant pushed open the door and entered even before he had permission to do so.
“What’s wrong? Why do you seem like you are in a rush?” Thomas frowned and snarled.
“Mr. Nichols, you are trending online!” Cayden was panicking so much that he started sweating.
“Trending?” Thomas scratched his head in confusion. “What do you mean? I’m an old man, so why would I be trending?”
Cayden wanted to explain, but he did not know where to begin. Exasperated, he pushed his tablet in Thomas’s hand and stated, “I think you should see it yourself.”
