    Not that Reuben didn’t want to help, but it wasn’t his ce to do so.


    The situation had already escted, and Grayson couldn’t afford to stay out of it any longer. Even the


    Xander Group’s stock would be affected.


    Even if Evan took action, it would draw attention to the matter, but someone else had taken care of it


    for


    him.


    Meanwhile, Danie was involved in this incident. He had just signed an agreement with her today.


    Axel was his top priority at the moment.


    As thewyer stepped out of the elevator, Evan asked, “Did you bring the agreement?”


    Thewyer produced the document and handed it to Evan. “Please review this, Mr. Jordan.”


    Evan carefully examined it, checking the few important uses he had instructed thewyer to include.


    He then set the document down and instructed Reuben to call Danie.


    In the afternoon, Neil found himself surrounded by a group of journalists as he left thepany.


    “Mr. Xander, is Mr. Xander Sr. avable? Could you please arrange for him toment on the incident


    with TYC’s CEO?”


    “Mr. Xander, can you tell us if there are any conflicts between yourpany and TYC?”


    “We’ve heard you have a close rtionship with TYC’s CEO. Did Mr. Xander Sr. take action against


    him


    out of personal animosity?”


    “Please, Mr. Xander, we need answers!”


    Nell calmly faced the journalists and spoke once they quieted down. “Ourpany will hold a press


    conference at 1:00 p.m. today to address your questions.”


    Shortly afterward, Neil was escorted to his car by his bodyguards.


    After getting into the car, the driver asked, “Where to, Mr. Xander?”


    “TYC,” he replied, pulling out his phone to text Caroline.

    Caroline was leaving her office when she received Nell’s message. Just as she replied to Neil, she


    noticed Josie rushing over.


    “Downstairs! Many journalists are waiting to interview you, Ms. Shenton.”


    Caroline remainedposed. “Do you have a hair tie?”


    Josie was taken aback. “Uh, yes, I do.”


    Caroline handed her bag to Josie and tied her hair into a ponytail. “Please fetch my coat.”


    Josie stared at Caroline, momentarily stunned, as if she hadn’t heard her.


    Caroline asked, “Do I look strange like this?”


    Josie snapped out of her surprise and blushed. “No, Ms. Shenton. You look great, like a college


    student…”


    Her cheeks continued to burn. It was the first time she had seen Caroline in a ponytail.


    Caroline had always been beautiful, and her makeup–free face now exuded a natural charm,


    With her hair in a ponytail, her authoritative presence had considerably softened, making her appear


    like


    an energetic young woman.


    “Fetch my coat, please, Caroline urged.


    Josie hurried to the office, retrieved Caroline’s long, white coat, and handed it to her.


    Caroline removed her jacket, put on the coat, and donned her sunsses. She asked, “Can you still

    recognize me?”


    Josie shook her head vigorously. “I can’t recognize you anymore. But the journalists downstairs will


    return


    if they don’t see you.”


    Caroline said, “Later, go downstairs and inform them that I can’t do the interview due to not feeling well.


    Get the PR team to handle it in detail.”


    Josie nodded. “Of course, Ms. Shenton.”


    With Josie’s help, Caroline skillfully avoided the journalists as she left thepany.


    By coincidence, Nell’s car arrived at the building, so Caroline got in.


    Neil couldn’t help but smile affectionately when he noticed Caroline’s changed appearance. “Are you


    that afraid of the journalists?” he asked.
