...

Charlotte Allison, looking at these clamorous headlines, pulled a chilly smile, summoned Price, and said:

"Price, get in touch with these companies, give them my regards."

"Yes, Mr. Allison."

Right after speaking with Price, Charlotte's phone rang—it was a call from Hazel Allison.

Upon connecting, Hazel spoke angrily:

"Sister, I just saw those reports, they're outrageous! It must have been someone from my birthday party last night who leaked them, I must find out who has such a big mouth!"

"Sister, you're dating legitimately, how can the media portray it so disgustingly! My team often deals with several media outlets, I'll call them right away."

Seeing through it, Charlotte lightly tapped her fingers on the desk and said, "No worries, I've already asked Price to handle it."

Look at that, what sophisticated means.

These people who claim concern and stand up for you, yet hide a sharp knife behind your back, striking silently, leaving one defenseless!

Hazel, after speaking with Charlotte and confirming she had no suspicions, finally felt at ease.

The person arranged last night is missing, still unreachable, and not a trace found within the organization.

Charlotte drank the tampered wine last night, seemingly unaware, and nothing unusual during the morning broadcast.

Now Hazel could only attribute the absence to the person not showing up that night.

With a sigh of relief, Hazel picked up her phone and called Jackson Vance, her voice carrying worry: "Edward, do you think Sister might have discovered something? I'm so scared."

On the other end came the man's gentle, reassuring voice: "Don't be scared. I know the organization people well; they're tight-lipped. You're Charlotte's dearest sister, she won't easily suspect you."

Hazel finally felt relieved, her voice soft, even sniffing a bit: "I trust what Edward says."

"Mm, relax, just interact with Charlotte like usual."

"By the way, Edward, what's up with the boyfriend Sister brought last night? She seems to really like him, isn't she in an engagement with you?"

"That guy, I had checked, he's a poor student from Chinlin University, hired by Charlotte to annoy me."

He had known Charlotte since childhood and understood her character very well.

Though not formally engaged, their parents had privately promised them to each other when they were young. If not for the accident five years ago with the Allison Family couple, they would be married by now.

Over the years, he watched her support Allison Corporation, becoming resilient and formidable, no longer the bright and gentle girl she was, but now cold and assertive, intimidating.

Jackson Vance couldn't deny that he preferred the past her, but the current Allison Corporation was what he needed, so his desire to marry her never wavered.

How could someone as rational as Charlotte suddenly date such a boyfriend, it was clearly to anger him.

Doing something childish yet charming in his eyes.

Such girlish thoughts elicited a secret delight within him, revealing that she cared far more about him than he ever imagined!
