Chapter 1278


    Zuko turned to look at both of them. He didn’t understand why, but Lena seemed particrly concerned


    about Lina.


    Despite sending people to investigate, they only discovered that Lena wasn’t a local and had lost both


    her parents. No other valuable information was found.


    Zuko frowned slightly as he sensed something inexplicable in Lena’s feelings toward Lina.


    “Why are you lost in thought?” Lina squeezed his hand.


    Zuko smiled and replied, “It’s nothing. I’m just thinking about which segment shoulde next.”


    “Which segment?”


    Zuko gestured to his assistant.


    As the promotional video yed, the mood suddenly shifted. Chaos erupted when several children


    sshed dirty water on Desiree. The camera then revealed the worn-down facilities inside the welfare


    home, where old and helpless residents sat in wheelchairs, their eyes filled with despair and


    hopelessness.


    The elderly were not properly cared for. The rooms were dim and damp, with mold on some walls. The


    backyard was overrun with weeds, giving the impression of a horror movie set rather than a welfare


    institution.


    The audience murmured among themselves, expressing surprise.


    Albert’s face fell, his eyes widened, and his lips trembled slightly.


    “Madam Baker, this is…”


    The video finally stopped with a bleak sky.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For

    “What’s happening?” Janine remainedposed and smiled lightly. “Oh, didn’t Desiree tell you? When


    she visited the welfare institution the other day, a few mischievous kids offended her. Zuko was so


    anxious he called the police, but she chose to endure it. This level of tolerance has truly impressed


    me!”


    Albert tried to speak, but no words came out.


    Janine said seriously, “Albert, Desiree might be able to endure it, but I can’t! How can they bully people


    like that? Can you bear it as a father?”


    “You—”


    “So, not only did I call the police, but I also investigated some other things!”


    Cold sweat broke out on Albert’s back, and he almost crushed the ss in his hand.


    He had predicted this might happen and had prepared a countermeasure beforeing to Centrolis.


    But he hadn’t anticipated Janine would expose him publicly like this!


    Since things had reached this point, he no longer needed to hold back. He could put his


    countermeasure into action ahead of schedule!


    Albert’s eyes narrowed, and a barely noticeable chilling light gleamed within.


    “Quickly, look!” A cry of surprise came from the crowd.


    Several pages of data reports suddenly appeared on therge screen.


    Albert’s expression changed as he looked at Janine. He gnashed his teeth and said, “So you had


    someone secretly investigate me?”


    “Do I have to over such a small matter?” Janine sneered disdainfully. “If you don’t want others to know,


    don’t do it. I’m just pulling out weeds for the people!”


    Several inclothes police officers in the crowd had already recorded everything, and reporters


    wouldn’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.


    Discussions filled the hall.


    Desiree anxiously looked at Albert, her heart pounding.

    Albert struggled onest time. “Madam Baker, there’s nothing for you to gain from doing this…”


    “Is that so?” Janine raised her voice, her presence imposing. “The rtionship between our families is


    no longer what it used to be! Not only do the Harpers use the charity donations to gain ill-gotten wealth,


    but you also want to drag the Bakers down with you!”
