Chapter 14
He was on the verge of calling the development department to sever all ties between the two companies. However, Truman remained calm and managed to stop him in time
As soon as Trina entered her home, she sensed something was wrong and quietly asked Truman, “What happened! Why is Mom crying?”
Truman said, “It’s all because of your drama. The whole love–hate saga has blown up. How could Mom and Dad not worry?”
No sooner had he finished speaking than Helen came over, embracing Trinta with eyes full of pity, and said, “Sweetie, you’ve really suffered. Why is everything always so hand for you?”
Tumph! The Banks have gone too far, really thinking they can take advantage of you,” Esmond fumed. They used to have some integrity, bur now they don’t even care about their business reputation. It’s truly a generation worse than the last. If Cyril’s grandfather were still alive, he would have disowned these unworthy descendants
After comforting her mother, Trina turned to her father and said, “Dad, don’t be angry with them. A clear conscience fears no accusations. What I haven’t done can’t hurt me. Getting too angry will harm your health, so please take care of yourself.”
“Silly girl, can’t you see the situation now! As long as someone leads the online narrative, regardless of whether you did it or not, the blame will fall on you,” said Exmond.
He patted Trina on the shoulder and continued, “You’re a noble lady, unique since childhood. It was already a loss for you to marry into the Banks family, and now they’ve caused such trouble without appreciating you. It’s simply too much,

Trina quickly advised, “Dad, listen to me first. I know you care about me, but firstly, I haven’t made public my identity as a Gross daughter, and secondly, I won’t be soft–hearted this time. Trust me, …okay?”
Helen wiped away tears with pity “You’re pregnant and have to go through all this. As your mom…”

Truman made a “three” with his fingers silently.
Trina widened her eves a
reyes and made a “one“.
Truman shrugged, indicating there was nothing he could do.
Trina took a deep breath in disbelief and finally, bearing the humiliation, made a “two”
Only then did Truman seem satisfied. He began to reassure their parents. “Mom, Dad, don’t be so pessimistic. Trina has her plans. Even if she fails to handle it well. I’m here to clean up the mess for her. There’s no need to disturb you both.”
Humph, you only know how to make light of it. Trina is suffering so much, and it seems like you don’t really care, Esmond complained
Even when reprimanded. Truman didn’t get angry. He just smiled and sald, “I know when to use my efforts. She’s my only sister; how could I not
feel for her?”
With Truman’s guarantee, Esmond and Helen finally calmed down.
When only the siblings were left on the first floor, Trina exploded. “Truman, you really dare to ask for a high price, wanting two of my designs at
Truman shrugged. “Without me, could you manage & Mom and Dad? Consider those two designs a family discount.”
“You” Before Trina could say more, her phone rang.
“Trina, the ring topic has been removed. Now it can’t be found anywhere online,” said the person on the other line. “Kemoved? Who did it? Trina was surprised.
