Chapter 1402: Chapter 1402: It’s Not Time Yet
"Don’t worry, my sweethearts. Mommy has faced situations like this before, hasn’t she? And every time, hasn’t Mommy handled it perfectly?"
Hearing Charlotte Thompson’s words, Hank Thompson’s expression softened slightly.
He then crossed his arms and let out a heavy snort. "I knew it! Mommy must have been wronged. Mommy is amazing—how could she ever do something like plagiarizing someone else’s work?"
"Mommy, you should clear this up quickly, or it’ll affect your reputation," Jack Thompson urged Charlotte.
The other children chimed in as well, but Charlotte shook her head in response.
"Now’s not the right time," she said calmly.
Though the children were puzzled, they trusted Charlotte completely.
Still, as they looked at the hateful comments online, they couldn’t help feeling annoyed.
"But the things those people are saying online are really mean!" Olivia Thompson said softly, her face showing clear frustration.
Charlotte’s gaze softened slightly as she spoke, "Mommy has told you before—don’t bother looking at useless things online, remember?"
"But this is about you, Mommy—how could we not look?" Chad Thompson piped up in his childish voice.
"Exactly, Mommy," Hank echoed with nods of agreement.
"Those irrelevant comments aren’t worth your time. Just wait for Mommy to clear things up and teach them an unforgettable lesson—how does that sound?" Charlotte said with a smile, looking at her children, while making a subtle gesture with her palm.
The children exchanged glances and then nodded unanimously at her.
"Mommy, you have to clear things up soon, so those people will stop being so arrogant!"
"Yes, and it has to be a statement that’s exceptionally noticeable—make them realize who the real villain truly is!"
Chad puffed out his cheeks angrily and waved his fists in the air, as if imaginatively fighting back against the people leaving malicious comments online.
"Alright, my sweethearts. Mommy and Daddy will handle this, so you don’t need to worry. Now it’s time for you to head to bed like good kids," Charlotte said.
She gestured toward the clock on the table. The children nodded repeatedly, and under Cyrus Thompson’s lead, they obediently lined up and walked back to the children’s room.
After Charlotte tucked the children in and checked the updates online, she discovered a surprising new development.
Charlotte had yet to issue a clarification, while Florienna Ellis’s words remained just one person’s account. However, someone had now actively stepped forward to support Florienna.
That person was none other than Teddy Carter.
Florienna’s sudden live stream might have caught some of the online audience off guard, as many were unfamiliar with her.
But Teddy was different. He was a renowned designer who had received awards and had several signature works to his name.
Additionally, someone who held the position of Design Team Leader at Riley Group was certainly not the kind of ordinary designer who could be casually hired for the role.
So, when Teddy announced his support, the internet erupted in shock.
First, he revealed that he and Florienna Ellis were both designers at Riley Group. Moreover, for this matter, he was appearing as Florienna’s team leader.
In truth, Teddy had wanted to publicly disclose his romantic relationship with Florienna, yet she had always refused, so he didn’t push the issue.
In Teddy’s remarks, he affirmed Florienna’s previous statements.
Charlotte Thompson did, indeed, bully Florienna in the workplace.
