Compared to news about secretly getting married and having children, this news was better.Despite her numerous years in the entertainment industry, Lyla was still stunned. After all, everyone had been interested in Elijah's family, but he had never revealed it.Aria was even more amazing. Lyla had never seen an outsider in the industry who knew how to utilize public opinion to their advantage. If they had just announced Elijah as a member of the Carver family, perhaps they wouldn't have achieved the same effect. However, it would be the best moment now! Everyone's attention was focused on Elijah's scandal. Once the company announced Elijah's identity and that he'd already signed up with the Carver Group, its stocks would skyrocket!Although Lyla had only known Aria for one short day, the latter had surprised her more than once. Lyla had a hunch that Aria would bring Carver Group to greater heights as its successor. This was what insiders would think. However, those who didn't
Theo, who'd tagged along to join the meeting, could barely control his facial expressions. How amazing was that? However, he had to consider the reality. "Ms. Carver, wouldn't that provoke them?"Aria shot this question to the PR department. "Is our company afraid to provoke them?""Of course not!" The person in charge of the PR department kept wiping his sweat. "Ms. Carver, I'll handle it right away!"Aria twirled her pen. "After you expose all of his scandals, you don't need to care about anything else. Get every company under our group to repost Elijah's post with the same message.""Okay. About that…" The person in charge stopped for a moment. "Ms. Carver, what message do you think would be the best?"Aria stopped twirling her pen. "Nothing too complicated. Just welcome him home.""Okay!" The PR manager's face lit up with excitement. Theo, sitting nearby, couldn't help but feel the same.He and Elijah had relied solely on the connections they'd built over the years, carefull
Ever since Owen humiliated himself at the shareholders' meeting, he stopped hiding his true self.Sitting across from him, Ian toyed with his crystal beads. His gray hair made him look weary. "Owen, you're not right to say that. Aria is still your daughter.""I treated her as my daughter, but did she ever treat me as her father?" Owen fumed. "Uncle Ian, you saw what happened at the banquet. "Fiona hasn't contacted me since then. She is set on getting a divorce. And my father? Even worse. He never intended to hand the company to me. He even teamed up with his granddaughter to teach me a lesson!"Ian shook his head, helpless in the face of Owen's stubbornness. "You should consider your position. Back then, you didn't try to get your sons on your side because they weren't close to you."But think about the shares they hold and their status in their respective fields, including Leon. Stop belittling his career." Ian took a sip of his coffee.It seemed like Owen was in control, but h
Upon hearing Ian's words, Owen fell silent. Ian's remarks reminded him that he needed to take action and change the current situation.Ian glanced at him. "Everyone is watching you right now. You should mind your words.""Uncle Ian, I understand." Owen took a sip of his coffee unhappily.Ian sighed and softened his tone. "I've always wanted us to be a happy family. Sometimes, I think back on that old prediction. I didn't believe it then, but with everything that's happened, it's hard to ignore."However, you need to realize that not many people will understand or stand in your shoes when it comes to superstitions. You're lucky a few shareholders do. They've been through enough to believe in fate."Owen felt a wave of relief at his uncle's words. He poured a fresh cup of coffee for Ian. "I get it. I also know some of them are pretending not to believe, just to form alliances.""It's good you see that. As for Aria, she's still young. It's normal for people her age to dismiss the id
This was all Lyla's work. She also included an announcement that read, "From now on, Mr. Elijah Carver will be joining our company in collaboration."Apart from that, she also retweeted a few gossip accounts and Terrance's posts. "The woman in the photo is Mr. Elijah Carver's sister. Our company will pursue legal action against those who slandered him. Also @Terrance, please mind your words."Nobody expected such a twist to happen. After all, no company had targeted a celebrity online so openly before.Lyla was actually hesitating to send the last sentence. However, she decided to obey Aria's orders.This post provoked Terrance's fans. They'd always loved targeting other celebrities to support Terrance. Therefore, they didn't hold back this time. "How hilarious! How can you prove that they're siblings? I've never heard about his sister despite following the entertainment industry for many years. What a lame PR method.""That's right! Plus, let me bring to your attention that the
Terrance's fan page admins immediately sent out statements. "I must have been blinded before. Firstly, I want to say sorry to @SilentElijah. Also, @Terrace, you don't deserve the love and support we had for you over the years."In the entertainment circle, it was unheard of for a celebrity to be unfollowed by all their fan page admins. Terrance was definitely a unique case.As his controversies began trending, Terrance, feeling desperate, reached out to a well-known influencer to try and salvage his image, offering whatever price was needed.The influencer, however, seemed uneasy. "Mr. Angilletta, I warned you not to provoke Elijah. We've crossed the wrong person this time."Terrance scoffed, refusing to believe there was anyone his family should fear. "Just do as I say. I'll keep the money flowing!"But the influencer hesitated. "Mr. Angilletta, look at the accounts tweeting about this. None of them are entertainment-related. Do you know who's behind those accounts? It's the Ca
Carver Group was becoming the subject of growing discussion online, especially this post—"By order of Ms. Aria Carver, welcome home @SilentElijah!" It had gained significant traction, capturing public interest. Though the Carver Group operated within the business world, their tone carried an unexpected sense of chivalry.Many young people, unfamiliar with their reputation as prominent merchants, began to take notice. After searching for information, they discovered Carver Group's rich history. During the turbulent war era, the Carvers played a crucial role in transmitting intelligence and providing financial support. They had also been sponsoring students to study abroad since then.People from that generation studied overseas to bring back knowledge that would aid Farshya's development at a time when it was desperately needed. Carver Group had continuously set aside substantial funds for education in rural areas and invested in infrastructure projects. In addition, the Carve
"You're all taking her way too seriously." Kenny loosened his tie as he settled on the couch. "Sure, she knows a thing or two about fortune-telling, but bringing all of us down? That's not impossible."He then lowered his voice. "Mr. Carver Senior is the one teaching her all of this."Those around him shifted uneasily. "But she's Lamar! You saw how she carried herself at the reunion banquet—she's not someone to mess with."Leon's backing her, and even Percy and Jeffrey defend her. I'm not about to cross the Carvers, especially Percy. My dad says he's an exceptional lawyer."In the past, no one would dare question Kenny's words, especially in a close-knit setting like this. But today was different—nobody backed him.As the illegitimate son, Kenny always craved the upper hand, even in small circles like this. He clenched his fists. "What's Mindy supposed to do with all of you acting like this? She's too scared to even go home."Everyone went silent upon hearing that.They all had
