Chapter 261
Avery had been distracted the entire day. She made so many mistakes at work that it made the
department head look daggers at her.
Feeling concerned, Cecelia and Nina asked, “What happened? Why are you so distracted?”
Avery could only shake her head. After all, there were some things she could not tell others.
She had to trust Cayden no matter how many reasons she had toe up with to convince herself.
Finally, she could not suppress her suspicions and decided to give him a call.
Unfortunately, she dialed several times only to hear the words, “Sorry. The number you have dialed is
currently unavable.”
It made her heart sink in despair.
Soon, work came to an end, and Avery returned to her residence.
Although she had her two children with her, Cayden''s absence made her feel as if the home was
iplete.
While the children were quietly enjoying their food, Avery absent-mindedly turned on the television.
A news report was being broadcasted, which included the tall, familiar figure she had been dreaming
of.
Recognizing the person on the screen at a nce, Rory pointed at Cayden and said in surprise,
“Mommy, look! Daddy''s on TV!”
Meanwhile, Zachary was chewing his food with his lips pressed together after taking tiny mouthfuls,
looking rather polite.
Even so, he, too, had shifted his attention to Cayden on the screen.
Avery was slightly taken aback, as she did not expect Cayden to appear on the finance channel.

His sturdy ck suit and clearly outlined sharp features made him look handsome and steady.
His unusually cold gaze and elegant aura made him stand out from the crowd.
At that moment, he was surrounded by many reporters shoving cameras in his face. No matter how
direct their questions were, Cayden spoke andughed without a change in his expression. Yet, one
could tell he was merely holding back if they saw the drooping corners of his lips.
Just then, a bearded foreign reporter asked an extremely direct question, “Mr. Moore, Regal Garden,
which belongs to Trident Group, is one of the most popr restaurant chains in Western Epea. Its
poprity is mainly because of your pursuit of using high-quality ingredients. However, one of the
reporters went undercover as a waiter there and found a series of problems. Not only was the training
just for formality, but the employees were alsozy to disinfect the tableware. Worst of all, the
employees processed carcasses of fish and prawns and recycled used oil. There are other problems
with food sources and juice blending as well. Do you have anyments on this, Mr. Moore?”
Cayden narrowed his eyes icily. In an intimidating manner, he said, “The reason Trident Group has
been standing strong for many years is that we view our reputation with great importance. I hereby
promise everyone that ourpany never used carcasses in our dishes. Regal Garden has a strict
principle of discarding rotten products once they''re found. Any employee who vites thepany''s
principles will be punished severely. As for the issue of recycling oil and blending juices, every chain
restaurant of Regal Garden has signed an agreement with the most qualified waste oil treatment unit.
So, please be rest assured. On top of that, Trident Group owns thergest vegetable ntation. I can
assure you that all the food we serve is in its freshest state. If any of the issues are true, we promise to
carry out severe punishments. In conclusion, everything you mentioned earlier was fake.”
His words spoke volumes, silencing all the reporters immediately. Nheless, there were a few bold
reporters who still wanted to cause trouble.
A burly, brown-haired reporter made his way to the front and stated, “Mr. Moore, your words differ
drastically from the media''s statements. I think this matter requires supervision from relevant
government departments. After all, every organization needs to practice transparency. Clearly, not
everything is up to you, don''t you agree? Besides, there''s a restaurant called Meat Liquor on Northcole
Steet that was exposedst month for using oil meant for frying to prepare other dishes for the
customers. This restaurant belongs to Regal Garden, yet you said the recycling of oil was fake news.
Aren''t your words a little contradicting here?”
The foreign reporters who had gathered around burst outughing.
The foreigners had a strong sense of ego. They always looked down on Aplothians, especially those
who excelled in their business.
Truth was, Cayden''s business was doing so well that he had taken over half of their businesses.
Naturally, they could not ept the situation.
Now that they had the chance to attack Regal Garden, there was no way they would pass it up.
Everyone waited eagerly for Cayden''s reply.
After all, the questions were too direct. A simple slip of the tongue could make Trident Group''s hundred
years of good reputation go down the drain.
All the reporters bubbled with excitement, their cameras shing nonstop as they clicked the button.
They were determined to get more juicy details out of that scandal.
Meanwhile, the two children, who were sitting in front of the television, did not understand the tense
atmosphere between Cayden and the reporters. They were just delighted to see him appear on the
screen. Avery, on the other hand, watched Cayden nervously as if she was the one being surrounded
by the reporters, feeling at a loss of what to do.
Despite that, Cayden still managed to keep himselfposed. He was totally unbothered by the
reporters'' questions.
After eyeing the brown-haired reporter who had voiced out earlier and read thebel on his
microphone, Cayden spoke with his maic yet powerful voice. “You''re from Social Times, aren''t
you? If I remember correctly, yourpany was sued by severalpanies for publishing false reports
two weeks ago. Every time yourpany publishes a piece of news, it turns out to be a baseless
rumor made to attract the audience''s attention. So far, yourpany has faced threewsuits. Can
yourpany please stop spreading information like that?”
Cayden''s counterattack made the reporter''s face flush bright red.
Without waiting for the reporter to speak, Cayden continued coldly, “As for Meat Liquor, it is true that
they coborated with Regal Garden back then. However, Regal Garden has already terminated the
contract in March 2016. It has been a year and a half since the termination of the contract. In fact, the
announcement is still on Regal Garden''s official website. If anyone questions my words, please check
out the announcement. I''m sure your doubts will be cleared once you''ve read them. Finally, I''d like to
announce that Regal Garden would dly ept supervision from the public and media. We wee
all reporters to check out our restaurant. One more thing, we''re not a secret organization. Please don''t
disguise yourself as a spy when youe next time. You''re not filming a drama. Regal Garden''s doors
are always open for anyone who wants to visit.”
His fearless and witty response managed to convince everyone. No one dared to attack him with direct
questions anymore.
Even Avery was stunned by Cayden''s demeanor.
She did not expect Cayden, who always behaved gently in front of her, to be so aggressive when
dealing with critical situations.
To others, it was a tough problem that seemed capable of bringing their world down. However, he had
solved it as if it were just a piece of cake.
After she witnessed all that, Avery''s admiration and love for him rose to another level.
However, she felt as if her heart had stopped beating as soon as she saw Wisteria beside Cayden.
