"What do you plan to do next?" Evangeline pressed, her mind spinning with ideas.Southern Crownlands would inevitably seek accountability; only then could the Gordon Group avoid the inevitable losses from the diamond case. Once the financial burden was lifted, the company would have the resources to deal with The Bennex Corporation.That was her assumption.Walter, however, never acted according to conventional wisdom, leaving her unsure of his next move."Nothing. I'll stay silent," he replied calmly.Gordon Group's reputation had already taken a hit. Any statement from him might not salvage the situation and could even be seen as a guilty conscience.He was not interested in pointless efforts that would only invite more criticism.Given the company's state, the only way to make a comeback was to let the negative news reach a tipping point before delivering a stunning reversal. Of course, one misstep could easily set the company's recovery back three to five years.As Walter p

Evangeline took a deep breath and asked, "So, I need to know—were you serious about what you just said?"Little did she know that while she was carefully pondering her decision, Walter had gotten the answer he wanted.If Evangeline had truly wanted to sever ties with Gordon Group, she would not have spent so long thinking about it. Her hesitation proved that her heart still cared about the company.If that was the case, could he dare to hope that her heart still cared about him too?Walter could not hold back anymore. He grabbed Evangeline's small hand and held it tightly."Thank you."His voice was husky, imbued with a magnetic charm. The seriousness in his gaze only heightened his overwhelming masculine allure.His heart softened at that moment, mirroring the delicate hand he held. Evangeline's hand was so soft and light, as if boneless, and he could not help but gently squeeze it, rubbing his thumb over her palm as though trying to etch the sensation into his soul.What he d

Some speculated that Gordon Group did not even regard the insignificant Bennex Corporation worthy of its attention.Others went further, theorizing that Gordon Group had always been a money-laundering operation. Since it had supposedly made enough, it wanted to abandon the way of crimes, using this controversy—allegedly coordinated with The Bennex Corporation—as a cover for its graceful exit.Despite the media's wild speculations, Gordon Group remained silent.Perhaps unsatisfied with the first wave of attacks, which felt like a punch against a pillow that only shook the Gordon Group's stock price slightly, The Bennex Corporation's CEO quickly launched a second offensive.…The early summer sun shone brightly, and the weather grew warmer. Those in good health had already shed their coats for T-shirts.It was a clear day with a cloudless sky, and the streets were as bustling as ever. At first glance, everything seemed just as usual. However, those with sharper perception would not

Evangeline found a few photos in her phone's gallery, added some text, and posted them on her social media account.[As someone once part of Gordon Group, I just want to say—hang in there!]The accompanying image featured a large clenched fist with splashes of crimson above it, resembling bloodstains.Clearly, she was prepared to take a firm stand against The Bennex Corporation.Evangeline had underestimated her own influence.Within just 10 minutes of posting, her update went viral with tens of thousands of shares and an uncountable number of clicks. Her gesture of support for Gordon Group caused such a surge in traffic that the platform temporarily crashed.After struggling to log back into her account, Evangeline was overwhelmed by the flood of comments, some good and some bad.Some were shocked by her sudden reappearance.[Our Little Princess Foster finally posted! This is amazing!]Others expressed outrage over her post.[How can our beloved support Walter, that scumbag?

Roslyn's eyes widened as she spoke, her hands busy patting and checking Evangeline's face and body as if to ensure she was truly unharmed.Evangeline pushed away her overly concerned best friend and said helplessly,"Of course I'm fine! You and Celina both have things to get to. I'm just at home alone—what could happen?""You never know! That's exactly why I worry when you're by yourself!" Roslyn rolled her eyes dramatically.Evangeline had been kidnapped so many times that it had left her perpetually on edge. Any slight disturbance, and Roslyn's first instinct was to rush back and make sure Evangeline was safe.This time, Evangeline seemed more surprised than Roslyn."Roslyn, didn't you say you were going to the company to work on your new album? Why are you back so suddenly?"Hearing this, Roslyn finally found a vent for her pent-up frustration."What do you think, my little goddess? Let me ask you first—did you post that update supporting Gordon Group on your social media acc

Evangeline could sense Roslyn's perfunctory attitude in her actions, but she did not know how to respond. After all, Roslyn's doubts were not entirely baseless.Alex and Walter shared the same bloodline. Even if their life circumstances differed, how much better could one really be than the other?As Evangeline wrestled with her mixed feelings, she heard Roslyn continuing her admonitions."Anyway, from now on, don't ever say anything to defend Gordon Group again, okay? Do you even realize how much impact your actions have? If Walter manages to whitewash his image in the public eye because of your post, wouldn't that just hand him a huge advantage?"Roslyn had a fairly good understanding of Gordon Group's troubles. However, with the filter of Walter having hurt Evangeline, she was secretly glad to see the company struggling. In her mind, she hoped it would crash entirely, forcing Walter to face some serious consequences.After all, he had been born with a silver spoon and lived a l

Evangeline's lips twitched. She did not even know what to say anymore.Walter held the key evidence that could turn the tide for Gordon Group, but she had been worried about the company's tarnished reputation. That was why she had taken it upon herself to make a public statement in support.Roslyn's wildly imaginative theories? They were beyond comprehension."Alright, alright, Roslyn. Let's drop this topic."Despite her words, Evangeline felt a heaviness in her chest. She made her social media post to help Walter, but it seemed as though she only made things worse.If anyone was to blame, it was fate—or the uncontrollable whims of social media users, whose unpredictable minds seemed capable of concocting the wildest narratives.Meanwhile, the sensational stories released by The Bennex Corporation had pushed Gordon Group into a heated media storm. With Evangeline's post acting as a catalyst, the issue had escalated to unprecedented levels.Thanks to the social media users' overa

"What?"Was that it?In such an urgent situation, their plan was to 'take it slow'? The department head could never have anticipated such a laid-back directive. Nonetheless, seeing Walter flip open a document, clearly uninterested in further discussion, he had no choice but to leave with a head full of unanswered questions.As the figure of the department head disappeared down the hallway, Walter took out his phone again. He continued scrolling through the comments on Evangeline's post, filled with wild speculations and creative interpretations that read like a collection of amusing little jokes.Still, none of this bothered him.The image Evangeline attached to her post said everything.This endearing woman genuinely wanted to use her influence to bring some positive energy to Gordon Group. Unfortunately, she underestimated the hostile forces working behind the scenes against Gordon Group.Gordon Group had been a dominant force in Avalon City for years, snatching countless oppo

Celina noticed that Evangeline was about to leave and asked with concern,"Are you going out, miss?"Evangeline nodded while picking up her bag, not understanding why Celina's brows were furrowed.Before she could ask, Celina continued, "The Gordon family is in turmoil recently, and with your relationship with Walter… it might be best if you don't go out and attract attention."Evangeline could easily understand the meaning behind Celina's words. The Gordon family was in a crisis, and she had poured more fuel on the fire at a critical moment, practically throwing herself into the whirlpool of public opinion. If she went out, it was highly likely that paparazzi and reporters would follow her, and the consequences could be unimaginable."I'm sorry, but I still need to go."Evangeline's worry for Trey had reached its peak. Facing Celina's concerned expression, she reassured her, "Don't worry, I'll be careful. If necessary, I'll bring a few more bodyguards."Celina knew she could not

Some people also said that Walter had pushed out Alex. Gordon Group was going through a period of turmoil, suffering from investment failures, compounded by The Bennex Corporation's reckless and aggressive maneuvers, which were essentially pushing the company to the brink of collapse.The only way for Walter to temporarily calm the storm and give the company a chance to regroup was to push Alex out and take the blame for everything.As the news spread, its impact grew larger, and some even dared to publicly tag Gordon Group's official social media account. It was expected that Gordon Group would follow their usual approach of not responding and turning a blind eye.To everyone's surprise, the company issued an official statement within 10 minutes.The news that Mr. Alex Gordon had been incarcerated was true, but the specific reasons would need to wait for the police's verdict.This brief announcement confirmed the speculations of social media users.However, Gordon Group was not

Evangeline listened to Thomas's lament and felt a wave of sadness in her heart.However, there were too many such people and stories in Avalon City, and she could not sympathize with all of them.Besides, Carl had done many bad things while working for Alex. How could she pity him?"Is there nothing else? No more information? Those who are pitiful must have their faults."Evangeline was not someone whose sympathy overflowed, nor did she want to connect with this situation."My men discovered that Carl has been wandering around Avalon City recently. His whereabouts are completely uncertain, and we've been unable to track him down or know where to start looking."Thomas fell silent for a moment, and Evangeline could only hear the sound of a mouse clicking.After some time, he added warily, "Carl is probably looking for his family."Before Alex was arrested, Carl secretly returned home one night. What exactly happened is unclear, but the next day, his family was taken away. And the

Perhaps going out for a walk with Celina to clear her mind would help her regain her composure.To her surprise, Celina declined Evangeline's suggestion and said, "No, I want to go on a stroll alone.Seeing the sadness in Celina's eyes, Evangeline did not know what to say."Ms. Evangeline, I'm just feeling down for no reason. You don't need to worry about me. Maybe it's because… I've been too idle."In the past, Celina always had various tasks, but after returning to the Foster family, there were no more tasks, no work, and her sole focus was on David.All of a sudden, Zhang Tao recovered and no longer needed her.She needed some quiet time to rediscover her own value. Otherwise, she would only live in confusion and self-doubt.Evangeline did not insist. Adults need time for themselves, after all. She could not take away the time for solitude that Celina needed just because they had a good relationship."Then… be careful."Evangeline patted Celina's shoulder and watched her le

Evangeline's brow furrowed. This situation was indeed tricky."Why is Carl Fowler still running around outside on his own when his boss has been exposed? If I were him, with Alex arrested, I'd rush back to Southern Crownlands immediately. Even if I couldn't return here, I'd send the message to the Bennison family as quickly as possible."Instead, he's been wandering around Avalon City!"Evangeline's speculation was not without merit. After all, if Carl had sent news of Alex's arrest back to Southern Crownlands, the Bennison family would have taken action. They would not be unaware, like they were at this moment where they've fallen for Walter's smokescreen and did not even realize it.David stroked his chin thoughtfully. "There's definitely something else going on here, and we just haven't figured it out yet. Is Carl wandering around because he's looking for something—or someone?"Having been by Alex's side, he naturally understood the dangers around him.Avalon City was especiall

"Insufficient evidence!"Evangeline and David seemed to be perfectly in sync. David looked at Evangeline with admiration."You truly are incredible, ma'am. Your analytical skills are simply amazing!""You don't need to flatter me. Since you led me to this conclusion, you must have a solution, right?"Gordon Group never kept idle people, and Walter was a perfectionist when it came to hiring. Therefore, the fact that David had worked under Walter for so many years was enough to prove his capabilities.Realizing he had been seen through, David awkwardly scratched his head. "I do have a plan, but it's still a bit underdeveloped, and I don't know if it will help Mr. Gordon."Since he was not sure, he did not dare to bring it up to Walter, only discussing it behind his back with Evangeline."Come on, tell me. Maybe it'll help."If the evidence Walter had was not enough, Gordon Group would remain in turmoil. Trey Gordon was still in the hospital recovering, and the situation at Gordon

David and Celina had lived in Southern Crownlands for a while, so they knew where the Bennison family's base was located. What Evangeline was concerned about, however, was the enormous amount of information carried by this statement."Do you know where Walter got this phone number from?"Whoever used this number would prove to be connected to the Bennison family.If the key person behind the scandal involving Gordon Group could be traced, the company's troubles would be resolved in an instant.David shook his head. "Mr. Gordon only instructed me to investigate this phone number. He didn't say where it came from."Ma'am, the president is holding up Gordon Group on his own. Don't you think we can do something too? Like, helping him catch the key person?"David's tone was uncertain, but his eyes flashed with a sly glint.Evangeline knew he had already devised an idea before speaking to her. She leaned back in her chair, arms crossed, and glanced at him sideways. "Speak up, what's yo

"But you know David didn't do anything wrong, right?"If he had, then Celina would not have said she was waiting for him to finish his task. Instead, she would have barged into the study and confronted him immediately.Celina lowered her gaze. "Yes, I know."Both of them were workaholics, and once there was work to be done, they would not care about anything else. So, Celina understood David's feelings very well. That being said, she did not want him to neglect her."I just hate his boss. If it weren't for him giving David some task, he wouldn't be like this."Walter is such a heartless boss. My David is still seriously injured, yet he gave him such an important task. It's practically exploitation!"Just when David could barely move around again, he started working like a dog for Walter!Evangeline did not care about any of the exploitation talk. Her attention was solely on one thing, and that was…"What task did Walter assign to David?"Evangeline's intuition told her that th

After all, if The Bennex Corporation knew about it, it would mean there was an insider in Gordon Group who was working for the Bennison family. At that point, it would trigger another internal purge.Walter finally regained his focus, and the entire Gordon Group was filled with a sense of harmony and renewed vigor. Even the department head of the Operations Department, who had been tortured by stress for days, looked relieved. He knew that the time for their president to strike back had finally arrived!The intense applause from the employees expressed their excitement.Walter felt unexpectedly touched. After all, if the employees did not have any sense of belonging to Gordon Group, they would not have been moved by his sudden actions.Some even shed tears.Evangeline also had not expected that the moment of action would come so soon. She really had waited for Walter to strike back.Apart from this, what surprised her was that David had mysteriously gotten busy. Even Celina, who
