Outside the Hawkins residence, the scene was nothing short of chaotic! A flock of reporters, armed with their cameras and microphones, camped outside, eagerly awaiting Helen.
Just as Helen reached her doorstep, her phone buzzed with a call from the Murphy family. Bobby Murphy was fuming on the other end, "The Murphy family's house is swarmed with reporters, and our stocks are plummeting. When will you clear up the mess online?!" Helen felt unjustly put upon. Wasn't she also a victim in this debacle? Her father offered no words of comfort, only complaints and pressure! But she couldn't rely on Carl. She needed the support of her family to maintain her status among the elite, meaning she couldn't afford to burn bridges with the Murphy family.
With a submissive tone, she replied, "I'm handling it as we speak. Just wait, the news about the Murphy family will soon be overshadowed." What was happening with the Murphy family couldn't hold a candle to Pamela's situation! Pamela was a ma for controversy on her own.
Her predicament would pull in Clayton and, by extension, Hawkins Sea-freight.
It would even drag the Patel family into the spotlight, given their secretive nature that always sparked public curiosity. Any minor ripple from the Patel family could trend online.

Who would care about the Murphy family's news then? After hanging up, Helen sat in her car, taking a moment to compose herself before putting on an act.
She exited the car in a flurry, head bowed, and hurried towards the Hawkins family home.
As soon as the reporters spotted her, they swarmed around her.
"Helen, is it true that you're obsessed with eating cat litter?!" one of them shouted.
Helen scowled, "That's ridiculous!" "But how do you explain the photos? You seemed quite satisfied eating cat litter!" Mentioning that photo made Helen furious-Evan really had a knack for capturing the worst moments! "The Hawkins family is dealing with a major issue today. I'm in a rush to get back, please make way and don't waste my time!" Sensing a bigger story, the reporters pressed on, "What's the major issue with the Hawkins family? Can you tell us more?" Helen remained silent, escorted by her bodyguard towards the Hawkins Mansion.
Her maid gave the gatekeeper a look, and he, understanding the cue, pretended to block the reporters while subtly letting them in. Led by Helen, the reporters swarmed into the Hawkins Mansion.
Helen made a beeline for the main building! At that moment, Elysia was pushing Pamela in her wheelchair, basking in the sun in the garden.
Pamela kept calling her Irene, and Elysia responded with tenderness.
Witnessing this motherly affection, Clayton was deeply moved.
How he wished Elysia was his Irene! If only, he thought.
Suddenly, his assistant rushed over, "Boss, Helen has arrived with a bunch of reporters." Clayton frowned, "The Murphy family is in trouble, and she brings reporters to our main house? Why?" "Just heard her say that the Hawkins family is facing a major incident today." "What incident?" Clayton asked.

Clayton's expression darkened. Reporters shouldn't be able to just waltz inté into a private estate like this-it had to be Helen's doing! "She's up to no good again! Stop her from coming here! Don't let her scare Pamela and Ms. Thorne." "It's too late..." Before the assistant could finish, Helen crunning over, "Big sister, woe is me..." Clayton and Elysia were both puzzled.
Elliot was also in the garden, his eyes narrowed, ready for the .
Helen, limping with a group of reporters in tow, made her way towards Pamela.
Clayton and his assistant stopped her a few meters away, "What are you doing?!" Through tears, Helen lamented,
"As soon as I heard Pamela was in trouble, I rushed back. Clayton, m please don't blKek Pamela, she must have been out of her mind to do such a heinous act. It's cruel, but there's a reason behind it!"
Clayton, unaware of Helen's malicious scheme, was taken aback and angered by her words, coldly retorted, "What nonsense are you spouting now?!" mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
