Chapter 192


    Ss fired back harshly, "That''s total hogwash. The chairman has been in this position for decades,


    and he''s just got a bit of a stiff neck. The physiotherapy facilities in the U.S. are better, so he''s gone


    there for a bit of a break."

    "But what about the photos of Mr. Galeana entering a cancer treatment room?"


    "I''ve seen the photos you''re talking about. It is indeed Mr. Galeana himself, but just his going into


    the treatment room doesn''t mean he''s sick. He might have been visiting someone. I''m not just Mr.


    Galeana''s secretary, but also the personal butler of the Galeana family. I know Mr. Galeana''s health


    like the back of my hand. He''s absolutely fit as a fiddle. You guys are painting our chairman with a


    terminal illness based on a photo? What''s your game? Are you spies for ourpetitors or do you


    have other motives?"


    Ss''s words were so forceful that the people he questioned didn''t dare speak up. A brief silence


    fell over the scene.


    After a while, a daring reporter continued to ask, "Ss, there''s no need to get all riled up. We''re just


    a bit worried because Mr. Galeana has been away from thepany for so long and we''re


    concerned about the operations of the Galeana Group."


    "If that''s what you''re worried about, you can chill. Mr. Galeana has made arrangements. He


    authorized Ms. Izzy to step in temporarily as chairman and handle all thepany''s affairs. The


    Galeana Group''s operations won''t skip a beat." Ss said, pointing to Izzy next to him.


    Izzy just gave a slight nod. These were all well-known domestic media, and they already knew that


    Izzy was the wife of the president of the Meyer Group, but her presence here was surprising. They


    didn''t dare ask questions before confirming her identity. Now that Ss had brought the topic to her,


    they wouldn''t pass up the opportunity.


    "May I ask, what is the rtionship between Ms. Izzy and Mr. Galeana? Why does he trust you so


    much to hand over all thepany''s affairs to you? Are you two family?" The sh of the spotlight


    was blinding, and Izzy felt a bit ufortable. She raised her hand to shield her eyes, nced at


    the person who asked the question, and slowly answered. "He is my biological father, but we have


    not been in contact in recent years. I joined the Galeana Group because I hold 20% of the shares


    left by my mother. I am the secondrgest shareholder of the Galeana Group."


    The crowd was in an uproar at Izzy''s words. The big screen also disyed the will of Izzy''s mother,


    confirming the truth of Izzy''s words.


    The fact that Hunter had cut ties with his daughter from his first wife once caused a media storm.


    Now, his estranged daughter was stepping in to run hispany.


    "Ms. Izzy is Mr. Galeana''s daughter?"


    Ss nodded, "Yes, Ms. Izzy is the daughter of Mr. Galeana and thete Ms. Page."


    "Ms. Galeana is so young, can she take on such a big responsibility?" Someone raised a question.


    Ss responded coolly, "The Galeana family has more than one daughter. The chairman must have


    thought long and hard before making his decision. I think Mr. Galeana''s influence in the industry is


    proof enough of that. What Mr. Galeana values is capability. Other irrelevant factors are not within


    his consideration."


    This implied that Hunter had considered the capabilities of both his daughters before making his


    decision. Even though one of his daughters had been kicked out, he was willing to let her take on


    this important role for thepany.


    The Galeana Group had indeed been on the up and up under Hunter''s leadership, without any


    major incidents.


    Emma, standing below, was watching Izzy on stage with anger. She clenched her fists at her sides.


    She believed that one day she would have the same abilities as Izzy and would never lose to her.


    "May I ask, Ms. Galeana, what is your rtionship with Mr. Galeana now? Have you reconciled?"


    Izzy answered indifferently, "I''ve said it before, I am the secondrgest shareholder of the Galeana


    Group. The rumors have seriously damaged my own interests. As for other questions, they are not


    the theme of today, and so I cannot answer."


    Izzy didn''t say it outright, but everyone understood that there was no progress in their father-


    daughter rtionship.


    "Ms. Galeana, does Mr. Meyer support your decision to join the Galeana Group?" The speaker was


    a middle-aged man wearing sses. Izzy had noticed this man before. He always seemed to steer


    the conversation purposefully; he was probably one of Ss''s insiders. Although she didn''t like to


    involve Ethan every time, she still maintained a polite smile. "My husband supports any decision I


    make."


    The middle-aged man chuckled and joked with the reporters and media, "You don''t need to worry.


    With Mr. Meyer as Ms. Galeana''s strategist, the future development of the Galeana Group will


    definitely go smoothly."


    "That''s true." Many people agreed.


    Knowing that Izzy didn''t like this approach, Ss quickly took over the conversation.


    "So, the public''s concerns are unnecessary. Everything is going smoothly within the Galeana Group,


    there are no problems at all. Now, I''ll let Mr. Galeana speak with you all."


    After Ss finished, they went live with Hunter. Soon, Hunter''s face appeared on the screen, and his


    deep, powerful voice started to speak. "I was initially against having this press conference. I''m just


    getting my health back on track in the U.S., not at death''s door like the rumors suggest. But,


    thinking about the situation at Huner Corporation and wanting to reassure our shareholders, I made


    this decision. While I''m recuperating, Izzy will temporarily take over my position for about two


    months. After that, I''ll be back. So don''t buy into the gossip and mess up the market. Lastly, I hope


    the reporters here will urately report today''s press conference."


    Izzy didn''t know beforehand that they would be connecting with Hunter live. But seeing that his


    complexion was much better than before he left for the U.S., she felt relieved. The treatment must


    be working.


    "Mr. Galeana, will Ms. Izzy leave thepany after you return?"


    "That mainly depends on her decision. If she wants to stay, there are plenty of positions avable in


    the Galeana Group. If she doesn''t, I won''t force her," Hunter calmly said.


    Hearing Hunter say this, Emma looked slightly relieved, but Izzy just smirked.


    The whole press conference went smoothly without any major hups, and they timed it perfectly to


    finish right before the stock market opened.


    In the conference room, Ethan was standing not too far away, smiling at her, and Izzy returned the


    smile.


    Ethan said, "You did a great job. You spoke with confidence, showed no sign of nerves, and truly


    demonstrated your leadership qualities." Izzy couldn''t help but give him a re, "Cut the crap, I


    won''t fall for your sweet talk."
