Chapter 280 The Entire Internet Is Congratulating Finnegan.
It rained that night, a heavy downpour accompanied by lightning and thunder as if nature itself was tearing the day apart.
The wind howled through the overpass, carrying the rain with it. The occasional flash of lightning illuminated the sky, instilling fear and making sleep impossible.
Serenity, trembling with fear, sought solace in Riley's embrace, muttering,"Grandma, I'm scared."
"Serenity, I'm here." Riley comforted, holding her close.
Jett and Tobias, frustrated by the storm, vented their anger, directing their curses at Magnus.
They considered seeking shelter in the bridge's alcove, but it was already occupied by other homeless individuals.
Magnus, in his hotel room, was also kept awake by the storm, his thoughts filled with concern for Serenity.
'A child so young, out in such weather with those people, must be terrified.'
'Serenity, being a girl, was at risk of being led astray if not properly guided and educated.'
'With a father like Jett, her future would also be filled with hardship, as he would be a burden for her whole life.'
These thoughts weighed heavily on Magnus. After all, Serenity was just a child.
The torrential rain continued for hours, only ceasing as dawn approached.
After a night of turmoil, the Cobb family was exhausted. As Jett was paralyzed, he was unable to care for himself, with no clean clothes to change into.
Tobias, already frustrated, seeing Jett's incapability, blurted out, "You're useless. With so many children, leaving anyone would have been better than you. Why did you not die at the construction site? In that case, you could have received compensation. But now, you're a burden. Your ideas have brought us nothing but trouble. We haven't gained a penny, and now we don't even have a place to stay."
These words, like a sharp knife, pierced Jett's heart, leaving him feeling ashamed and humiliated.
Jett didn't retort but only cry, covering his face in despair.
Riley scolded Tobias, "That's enough."
"What's wrong with what I said?" Tobias enraged, exclaimed, "They're all useless - one is paralyzed, and the other is just a child. I'm really unlucky to have met you."
Serenity stood by, ans she was too frightened to speak.
After his outburst, Tobias stormed out. Riley did not know where he went, neither cared about that. She had to wash Jett's pants by the river.
Tobias went to seek help from other television stations, lawyers, and the police, hoping to get some money from Magnus.
However, no television station dared to get involved, as Finnegan had already informed them.
Tobias found himself unable to make a move and could only wait at the law firm.
Magnus, upon learning of this, didn't go to the law firm but worked outside. Worrying that Riley and the others would go hungry, he had some food sent over, along with $500, enough for them to return to their hometown.
This was the last thing Magnus could do.
Magnus' issue caused a stir online for a few days, but the heat was soon overshadowed by another explosive piece of news.
The news was that Abbott's Corporation President Finnegan inspected a store, accompanied by a beautiful woman, and the two of them appeared to be intimate.
Ophe accompanied Finnegan to attend the event and inspect the store, and within an hour of the event ending, photos of them holding hands in the mall had already made it to the top of the trending lists on various platforms.
Finnegan even openly declared, "This is my wife, Ophe," and posted their marriage certificate online.
For a moment, the entire internet was almost paralyzed.
The fact that Finnegan, the president of Abbott's Corporation, had gotten married was simply explosive news.
Ophe, wearing a loose dress, was spotted by sharp-eyed netizens, and was discovered that she was pregnant.
In no time, the topic of Ophe's pregnant belly, as she accompanied Finnegan to the event, became the most popular trending topic.
The entire internet was filled with admiration for Ophe.
This was truly a leap into a wealthy family, with her pregnant belly laying the foundation for wealth and securing her position as the mistress of the house.
The news of Finnegan's marriage left many wealthy and influential women in the circle feeling sad and pity.
