Lydia blushed as she quickly let go of him. She scolded playfully, "Why were you holding on so tightly then?"The next moment, she quickly talked about something else. "Thanks for helping my mom out.""Are you serious about being so formal between us?""Okay, fine. But are you sure everything is sorted?" Lydia asked."It's all taken care of," he replied.Meanwhile, Henry handed her a piece of paper as he talked."Here's a list of questions they might ask at the press conference. Just stick to the plan when you answer."Once the press conference is over, the Everising Chamber of Commerce and others will announce their support for the Miller Group."All in all, the Miller Group will return to normal in three days or less."Lydia was overjoyed. It seemed that Henry had efficiently handled the problems, which had felt overwhelming and nearly impossible to solve."Thank you. I would've been lost without you.""There you go again. If you want to thank me, why don't we get to a pri
Lydia's words were immediately met with a round of applause from the audience. Excitement filled the room, especially among the Miller Group employees and business partners who had close ties with the company.A Q & A session then followed the official announcement. One of the first questions came quickly."Ms. Miller, first of all, we greatly admire your courage and responsibility in taking over the Miller Group. But even if large funds are invested to save the company, how do you plan to handle the victims whose appearances were damaged by the cosmetics?"The crowd went silent, their eyes locked on Lydia. That was a concern on everyone's mind, and they all wanted to hear her response.Lydia remained calm, knowing that the question was anticipated. Henry had even written the answer for her on the paper he had given her. She smiled gently and said, "Rest assured, we've already solved that issue."The audience was taken aback, and the reporter immediately followed up with a questio
"Who knows? Maybe they've found some special way to hide everything. I mean, look at their skin. It wasn't that good before!" someone in the crowd said."No, it's real. I'm one of the victims," one of the women on stage said."More like a paid actor," the skeptic scoffed."I am. We were treated together yesterday.""Are you kidding? You expected us to believe that was done in a day?""He's not lying. I'm one of the victims, too," another person from the group chimed in."Another one?" the crowd murmured in surprise.Many people were still skeptical. Even though they had once despised the Miller Group, with the issue resolved and having received compensation, they could not stand to see Lydia being misunderstood. After all, the previous issues were not her fault, and she had stepped up to fix everything.Despite that, doubts persisted.A reporter asked, "Ms. Miller, their faces are fully healed, but why is their skin so much better than before?"Lydia smiled and replied confid
As soon as Lydia finished speaking, the entire room was once again taken aback. The corporations she had just mentioned were all powerhouses. Since they had publicly announced their support, there were no obstacles for the Miller Group to get back on track.The reporters finally realized their supervisors had given them strict instructions to be considerate and not be harsh on the Miller Group. Clearly, the Miller Group had far more formidable backing than anyone had imagined.At the same time, Jeffery and Dustin released official statements announcing their full support for the Miller Group's rebuilding efforts. In an instant, the Miller Group had gained all the attention, and those major players were eager to curry favor with them.At that point, no one doubted that the Miller Group was about to have a strong comeback—likely even more powerful than before.Lydia observed the astonished expressions of the crowd, knowing that all of that was possible because of Henry. Without him,
"Don't worry about it." Henry shook his head, unsure how much progress Jeffery had made with the investigation. Without knowing the full details, he thought it best to keep Lydia in the dark."I know you're only so tolerant of her because of me. But she told me a lot this time, and I could tell she understood her mistakes. She even promised to treat you better from now on," Lydia said.Henry was taken aback. "She admitted her mistakes?"Lydia nodded. "Yeah, she used to be so domineering and unreasonable. But this time, she seemed genuinely ashamed, even scolding herself."Henry immediately suspected that Jennifer was putting on an act, but he decided to keep quiet about it, waiting for Jeffery's investigation results before saying anything.At that moment, Lydia's phone rang. It was Jennifer."Lydia, I'm getting out! Thank you! And thank Henry for me. If it weren't for him, I'd be done for."Jennifer had been given special permission to watch the press conference, and she was as
As expected, Jeffery quickly replied, "I have something on hand. Serenity Peak Hospital was once a very well-known hospital for the wealthy. "Ms. Miller's mother, Jennifer, gave birth there, just as she said. And on the same day, a baby girl passed away shortly after birth."Henry frowned at that. He asked, "What else did you find?""Well, here's where it gets interesting. The birthdate on Ms. Miller's ID doesn't match her actual birthdate, and there is about a half-month difference. "However, from our understanding, she was indeed born on that day, meaning her recorded date of birth was falsified."So, it seems the Millers are hiding something," Jeffery explained.Henry's expression darkened. Jennifer was definitely up to something. "She must've been trying to conceal Lydia's true identity by changing her birth date.""Who was the mother of the baby girl who died that day? Do you know where she came from?" Henry asked.Jeffery sighed. "I'm still investigating that. The woman
Henry examined the jade bracelet carefully. It was not an ordinary item; its cool, calming sensation refreshed his mind and spirit. The faint presence of a cultivator's aura on it suggested that it was a rare treasure.That confirmed his suspicion that Lydia's biological mother was not just an ordinary person. Even if she was not a cultivator, she had to be from a prestigious family.Henry managed to narrow the investigation significantly. He immediately assigned the task to several major forces, including the Golden Liberty, instructing them to search for Trinity with full effort.Once she was found, the truth would be revealed.Unaware of the bracelet's significance, Chansey asked, "Henry, that bracelet is so beautiful! Does it have any special abilities?"Jeffery had not told Chansey the details—he would not dare divulge anything without Henry's permission.Henry was caught off guard and replied with a smile, "Nothing much, just an heirloom from an elder. Why did your dad have
Albus' face shifted dramatically. Shane Drayson, the strongest and most terrifying person in the world, was running out of time.He knew all too well that Shane was the strongest in the world. No Earthly Immortals, or even himself, could match the elder, not even for a single move.Even though the three were not as strong as Shane, they were still unparalleled mightsters who had mastered the Principles of Heaven and Earth; the difference in strength could not be too significant.Who could possibly stop them if they truly invaded Aurelia?While Henry was incredibly powerful, the gap between him and those three was still vast. Perhaps the only hope lay in unraveling the secrets of the jade pendant."What happened, Elder Drayson? Weren't you all working together to fight the monster?" Albus asked, still struggling to understand."After defeating the monster, they turned on me," Shane replied, his face dark with anger.Albus was shocked. Their strength was not far off from Shane's,
