Chapter 22 Please Help Me
After hearing Philip’s words, Francesca fell silent for a moment.
She never thought that at such an old age, Philip would still have to apologize on behalf of his children and grandchildren, when in reality, he should not be the one who should be apologizing.
After hanging up the phone, Francesca felt a tinge of bitterness in her
heart.
After all, in the beginning, within the entire Zeller family, Philip was the only one who treated her well.
After enduring numerous hardships, Elsa’s tears could no longer be contained, and she sought out Colton with red–rimmed eyes. “Colt…”
Elsa held her belly with tears in her eyes, choking back a sob, she said, “I really didn’t do it on purpose, I just wanted to clarify things for you all.”
From behind the office desk, Colton nonchalantly tossed his pen and reclined in his chair. “I’ve located the paparazzo who captured those photos. He confessed that he was paid to do it. What are your thoughts? Can we track the source of the money through his account?”
Elsa’s face turned pale, and she hurriedly stepped forward, “I…”
Under Colton’s penetrating gaze, Elsa shifted uncomfortably, avoiding eye. contact. After a long pause, she finally stammered, “I–I noticed how you were constantly watching her when she came back that day. I didn’t know what came over me…

Colton’s gaze fell on the birthmark on Elsa’s arm, and he remained silent for a long time before saying, “Don’t do that again.”

Elsa hurriedly nodded, her eyes flickering slightly.
There were certain matters that did not require her personal involvement, as they could be handled by others.
Colton contacted Timothy through the internal phone and asked him to remove the trending stories today.
“Just removing the trending stories?” Elsa became anxious. “Now netizens. are all calling me a homewrecker, and several parties are demanding compensation from me!”
Seeing that Colton was unmoved, Elsa added, “Do you really want our child to be labeled as illegitimate before they’re even born?”
Colton gave her a deep glance but kept mum.
Elsa bit her lower lip, realizing that there was no room for negotiation. She took a step back and left the room.
As soon as she stepped out, her face turned completely gloomy. Francesca Beckman.
Meanwhile, inside Francesca’s apartment, Yoel frowned as he looked at her. “The trending stories are gone.”
At that moment, as the trending stories vanished, it became evident that Colton had taken decisive action.
“He may be willing to spend money on her, but it’s not worth our time and effort,” Francesca intervened, stopping Yoel from making the call to boost the trending stories.
She said nonchalantly, “Just leave it. If we continue with it, it’ll only tarnish her reputation. Let’s not waste money.”

Having spent many years with the Shelley family, she had learned the value of patience as a virtue. Colton might be trying to protect her now, but there’ll always be a time when he can’t.
Yoel observed her expression closely, then leaned back and said, “All right! Just inform me when it’s time for you to take action. I’m not here to help you, anyway. I just can’t stand seeing that homewrecker in such an arrogant.”
Francesca glanced at him and burst into laughter.
Both of them believed the matter would come to an end. However, to their astonishment, the Beckman family made a sudden online post that night, seeking Francesca. They mentioned her unexplained absence of five years, expressing their deep longing for her and urging her to return home for a visit.
The heartfelt short essay tugged at the heartstrings of netizens, prompting them to share it willingly and tag Francesca. To the online community, the search resembled a heartwarming drama of a loving family on a quest to replace their long–lost daughter.
Francesca’s gaze turned icy as she stared at the words on the screen, her heart devoid of any emotion except for simmering anger. How dare the Beckman family resurface now.
“The Beckman family never does anything without a purpose. That post ist just the beginning; there will surely be more to come,” Francesca said with a cold smile as she dialed Marcus‘ number. She instructed the company’s Public Relations Department to closely monitor and address the opinions of the netizens.
