Chapter 1779


    Augus had only three hours notice before the press conference was announced following Dn''s


    urgent message.


    Media outlets swarmed to the scene, hungry for the scoop. The venue for the press conference was


    now packed with reporters, their cameras shing incessantly.


    Dressed in a sharp ck suit, Augus looked considerably younger than his peers. However, he


    seemed leaner than usual, likely due to a recent recuperation, which paradoxically gave him a more


    spirited appearance.


    He calmly took his seat in the center of the stage as the lights and cameras below him continued


    their frenzied dance.


    Media from all around the globe were buzzing with questions about whether the Sanders family''s


    business empire was facing a major upheaval.


    Augus, addressing the crowd below in hisnguage, slowly unveiled the purpose of this press


    conference.


    "Once, a pivotal event urred in the Sanders family; my only daughter was swapped over and


    spent over two decades wandering in the world unknown to us. Only in the past six months have I


    been reunited with my precious child. But due to a vile scheme, I was bedridden and unable to even


    speak properly with her. Today, I am here not as the CEO of the Sanders Group, but as a simple


    father. I awakened from aa only to learn that my son faced a kidnapping ordeal in Windhelm.


    We have reached out, but Windhelm has remained silent. I have already transferred all my shares


    to my daughter, and her safety is now pivotal to our family''s future decisions. I implore the


    Windhelm media to take this seriously and pray for my daughter''s safe return."


    The world''srgest film and televisionpany had called such a significant press conference, and


    the live broadcast quickly spread across nations. People began to appeal to Windhelm''s media to


    coborate with the Sanders family to rescue the kidnapped daughter.


    Some even spected a conspiracy - was Windhelm seeking to sanction the Sanders family''s


    domestic economic deals, thus allowing the kidnapping of the Sanders daughter?


    Amidst a torrent of theories, such talk indeed pressured the upper echelons of Windhelm.


    Comments from various countries began to flood Windhelm''s official social media ounts, all


    urging them to aid in the search for the Sanders daughter.


    The global stir Augus caused was not solely due to the Sanders family''s influence but also his


    notable phnthropic investments. His establishment of seven foundations had assisted countless


    children worldwide.


    With Augus personally stepping forward and the might of the Sanders family behind him, Windhelm


    soon could no longer withstand the pressure.


    Windhelm promptly announced theirmitment to assisting the Sanders family in locating the


    missing daughter.


    Augus expressed his gratitude on his social media tforms. Once Windhelm made a statement, it


    meant that investigators would be dispatched to inspect Bernard‘s residences.


    Bernard owned numerous properties domestically, and a thorough search of each would take


    significant time. Everyone prayed that Maja was unharmed.


    Dn revealed the most critical property Bernard owned, silencing those present as they realized


    their own families might be inside.


    If Bernard was truly behind this, could he have made another move in anticipation? Dn''s face


    was grave as he regarded the officials before him.

    "All I want is my sister''s safety. And if Bernard can threaten your families, doesn''t that suggest a


    failure in oversight? Has Bernard be untouchable there?"


    An elderly man with silvery hair grasped his cane and sighed. After a long pause, he simply said,


    "Investigate."


    The atmosphere turned subtly tense, for these words came not from just anyone, but from Yvonne''s


    father. Yvonne was Bernard''ste wife, and the couple had been deeply in love.


    Until tonight, the old man had never involved himself in any meeting nor favored any side. In light of


    the Sanders family''s press conference, a few retired elders were called back, including Yvonne''s


    father.


    When Yvonne was born, her parents had already been advanced in years, and following her death,


    they hadnguished in ill health for many years.


    Since then, they had almost entirely withdrawn from the world, no longer keeping up with any news


    and ceasing all contact with Bernard himself.


    They knew Yvonne''s death was not Bernard''s fault, yet they couldn''t help but harbor resentment. If


    Yvonne hadn''t married Bernard, perhaps her life wouldn''t have been cut so short.
