The next day.
Instead of posting on Facebook, Melinda decided to share her thoughts on Twitter. She expressed her frustration with Leon and Gwen, stating that they constantly angered her and even used their family relationship to threaten her. She couldn't tolerate such behavior from her children, so she made the difficult decision to cut off all ties with them. In parentheses, she added that if they realized their mistakes and sincerely apologized, she might reluctantly forgive them.
This post quickly spread among the elite social circles. No one expected Melinda to voluntarily sever ties with her own children. It was an unprecedented move, and people began speculating about what Leon and Gwen had done to provoke such a reaction from their mother.
However, those who knew Melinda better secretly suspected that she must have done something wicked again. The final remark seemed like an attempt to force her children to apologize. When Gwen saw her mother's post on Twitter, instead of apologizing, she liked the post.
She left a comment saying, "Thank you, Melinda, for making it clear. From now on, we are no longer mother and daughter but strangers." She then took a screenshot of her mother's post and shared it on her own Twitter, announcing the same severing of ties.
Leon followed his sister's lead and also took a screenshot of his mother's post, sharing it on his Twitter to announce the end of their relationship. As a top-tier film actor, Leon's recent reputation had suffered due to his performance on a variety show and his involvement with Simone.
However, he still had a large fan base, and he remained a key focus for paparazzi and the entertainment industry. As soon as this post appeared on Twitter, it caused a sensation. The paparazzi immediately jumped into action, publishing news about Leon and Melinda cutting off ties. They even provided various "evidence" to prove when the mother and son had started to have conflicts and why they had decided to sever their relationship.
Not only did they bring Gwen into the spotlight, but they also dragged Simone into the mess. Some people speculated that Leon had cut off ties with his biological mother because of Simone. As a result, the controversy surrounding this incident continued to grow.
When Melinda saw that her two children not only didn't apologize but also quickly followed up with their own posts, severing ties, she was furious. She had recently run out of money and had refrained from asking her husband for more after he had denied her request to hire a warlock.
Instead, she had her assistant pawn a set of her jewelry. With the money she received, she instructed her assistant to create fake accounts and spread rumors.
They claimed that Leon and Gwen were disrespectful and constantly mistreated their mother.
They said the siblings even threatened her, and they had numerous arguments with her over Simone, which ultimately made her decide that she didn't want these children anymore.
Many judgmental fans immediately jumped in when they heard the news. They mocked Leon and Gwen excessively, saying that they should apologize to Melinda.
They said Leon, the unethical actor, had also set a bad example.
They said he didn't deserve to stay in the entertainment industry anymore. They wanted him to leave.
The fake accounts hired by Melinda even dragged Simone into the insults.
They claimed that she instigated the quarrel between the Foster siblings and their biological mother. Simone had been paying attention to this matter.
So, when the narrative was going in the wrong direction, she decided to investigate. Sure enough, she found evidence that Melinda hired people to create fake accounts. She then took screenshots of the evidence and sent them to Gwen. Gwen laughed in anger and forwarded the evidence to Leon.
"Take a look. This is your beloved mother," Gwen said sarcastically.
Leon saw his sister's mockery and the evidence, and he also found it ironic.
It was like a punch to the gut. Does she think the Gray Family is easy to mess with? He first approached Adam and told him they should stop working together. The Gray Family would not let Melinda off the hook. If Adam had protected her, then the two families would have become enemies.
There was no other way. Adam didn't want to create more enemies like the Gray Family because of Melinda's foolish actions. Moreover, when dealing with the person behind the scenes, it was best to unite.
As for the matter of being betrayed and cheated on by his wife, although Adam felt embarrassed, he was open enough to talk about it. After all, this kind of thing couldn't be hidden for long. Steven was shocked and surprised when he learned the truth.
He admired Adam's patience; it would be difficult for him to do the same. No wonder this guy was able to fight his way up the Foster Family and become their leader. He also felt sorry for Adam; it was really unlucky for him to end up with such a woman.
Of course, he also thought that they should quickly join forces to fight the person behind this. Otherwise, they would be manipulated by the other side. By always giving in, the other side would only see them as pushovers and keep taking advantage of them.
So, the two of them joined forces with Harold and formed an alliance to deal with the people behind them. They also agreed to let Simone take the lead and follow her instructions. Next, it was Simone's turn to make an appearance.
She instructed the Gray Family and Harold to continue exerting pressure on the special department. Zac understood her intentions and immediately went to complain to his grandfather and parents.
His beloved grandson had almost been killed, which greatly infuriated Zac's grandfather. He personally reached out to the minister of the specialized department. The minister reprimanded the department during a meeting, demanding immediate action on the issue. Otherwise, no one would have an easy time.
This also compelled the other vice minister to give in. He wanted to simply keep the warlock around and avoid dealing with it, but he had to yield in the end. If he persisted, his position as vice minister would likely be at risk. He could only criticize the warlock for being so foolish.
How could he dare to harm old man Turner's cherished grandson? He must have a mind full of nonsense.
Now that old man Turner had personally intervened, along with the pressure from the Gray Family and Jenner Family, he couldn't resist at all.
