Chapter 6 Pam's Awakening

Carol answered the phone and heard a sweet voice on the other end, "Darling, I personally conducted the test for you, even sacrificing my beauty sleep. Remember, you owe me a favor~"

“Hmm.”

"I envy you, retiring at such a young age and living a life of leisure. It's such a pity for someone like me, who was born to toil..."

Carol interrupted her, “So, what are the results of the comparison?”

"...They are indeed father and son. The electronic report has been sent to your email!"

“Thanks.”

Carol cut the call and furrowed her eyebrows slightly. If she hadn't mistaken the person, why would Clifford not remember her?

She unlocked her phone and searched for information about Clifford.

Not only was there no news about any injuries or illnesses in the past, but even the financial news reports were nowhere to be found.

There was no information about Clifford available on the internet.

The heir of the Bell family in Norbury Cove was a mystery.

Since birth, he had been secretly groomed as the heir, and the Bell family only leaked some rumors to the public. His name and photos were never revealed.

No wonder she couldn’t find any clues about him in the past five years.

At that moment, Pam drove off in a Chevrolet sedan.

Carol didn’t have time to think further; she hopped on her motorcycle and followed behind.

Her mother had been working for the Lawson’s, humbling herself all these years to earn money. Carol had tried to persuade her countless times, but perhaps today her mother would finally see the true face of Mrs. Lawson.

The two of them entered the Lawson family's residence, one behind the other.

After parking the car, Carol hurriedly caught up with her mother.

Pam saw her and was delighted, "Carol, have you come to your senses? That's the way to go. From now on, you should be closer to your grandmother. After all, we are family."

She gushed, "Once I become the general manager this time, I can arrange a position for you in the Lawson firm. That way, you'll have a job."

Carol thought to herself, You don’t really have to do that!

As they spoke, they entered the living room.

Mrs. Simmons sat in her usual spot with a grim expression, while Mrs. Lawson, with silver hair piled on her head, sat next to her. Her face was filled with happiness...

With a pleasing smile, they were in the midst of a conversation.

Observing the situation, Pam appeared slightly surprised, "Mrs. Simmons is here too? What a rare guest."

Exchanging a polite remark, she couldn't wait to approach Mrs. Lawson, "Mom, about the general manager..."

"Smack!"

Before she could finish her sentence, Mrs. Lawson suddenly swung her arm and delivered a harsh slap!

Pam’s cheek stung, leaving her dumbfounded. “Mom?”

Angry, Mrs. Lawson snapped, "Don't call me Mom! As your mother, I taught you courtesy, integrity, and propriety. I taught you to study and be a decent person, but I didn't teach you how to be a mother! It's because of your spoiling of Carol that she turned out to be so unruly, leading to this catastrophic incident!..."

After Mrs. Lawson explained the Bell family banquet situation, Pam, with teary eyes, said, "Mom, there must be a misunderstanding. Carol is not that kind of person!"

Carol, standing beside them, lowered her peach blossom eyes and let out a sigh.

She had thought that her mother would finally see the reality after being slapped, but she hadn't expected Mrs. Lawson to quickly brainwash Pam with just a few words.

However, this confused mother had earned a reputation for fiercely protecting her daughter.

Even when Carol, an unmarried mother-to-be, was driven out of the house, she never scolded her.

As an orphan, she longed for familial affection.

She treated the old lady this way, and even more so herself.

Mrs. Lawson sighed, "No matter what the misunderstanding is, the fact remains that she hit Miss Simmons! Stop arguing, if we want to suppress this matter, we must apologize to Mrs. Simmons!"

Pam looked towards Mrs. Simmons, who was sitting on a single sofa.

But Mrs. Simmons lowered her head and looked surprised, “Oh, how did my shoe get dirty?”

Pam's body stiffened.

Mrs. Lawson reminded her, "What are you staring at? Hurry and clean the dirt off Mrs. Simmons' shoes!"

Pam abruptly turned her head, looking at Mrs. Lawson in disbelief.

Mrs. Lawson drooped her eyelids and suddenly took a step forward, "I pleaded with Mrs. Simmons for a long time just now, and she agreed that if you apologize sincerely and show our sincerity, she will spare Carol. I know you have your pride, that you won't lower your head, I didn't teach you well. If you won't do it, I'll do it for you..."

Seeing that she was about to kneel down, Pam was so frightened that her knees gave in, and she knelt down, saying, "Mom!"

But in the next moment, her arm was tightly grasped.

Carol supported her mother and looked at Mrs. Lawson with a pair of peach blossom eyes, a hint of mockery glimmering in their depths.

Mrs. Lawson's legs bent slightly, wavering between kneeling and standing. Even the emotions she had just built up were suddenly disjointed.

She glared at Carol in hatred before abruptly ending the sentence.
