Merlin said, “If Miss Golding did have the medicine to save Lord Acker, why didn’t she give it to you directly? She should know that you were downstairs.”Then, he added, “Also, she didn’t leave right after you left. She waited until I left before making a move. It feels like she’s avoiding you on purpose.”“That’s…” Christian couldn’t answer. Finally, he surmised, “Maybe she was afraid that I wouldn’t believe her if she gave me the medicine right there and then? I might not accept it, too. Even if I did, would I give it to my father?”Merlin sighed. “Perhaps so. Still, something feels a little off. Nothing is logical here.”Christian urged, “Okay, then don’t overthink anymore. I’ve just seen the latest news. The Fox family’s spokesperson announced to the public about a press conference at eight in the morning. It would be broadcast live nationwide. I guess the newly appointed little girl is going to turn the tide.” Merlin laughed. “Turn the tide… I don’t think anyone can fix thi

With a long sigh, Merlin said helplessly, “But… The impact this incident will have on the New York police will be terrible. If we announce it now, it’ll make headlines immediately. The mayor and councilors will call us in less than minutes. I wouldn’t know how to deal with it…”He added, “I know it’s impossible to hide this kind of thing. For now, I’ll have to leave the police station first. If any scandals are exposed later on, the director can explain them to the media. I’ll take this opportunity to hide. I’m retiring soon, and I can’t become a public enemy of the whole nation before I retire.” Christian replied, “That makes sense. It’d be good if you can avoid this scandal. Well, stay safe and contact me if there’s anything.”“Right.” Merlin hung up and hurriedly packed his things before hurrying out of the building. As soon as he got into the car and was about to make his way to the Fox family manor, he received a push notification from the world’s largest video platform.The

As Homer’s father, Xavion was the most nervous out of them all. He knew he had failed to teach his son well. Now that Homer was dead, the people would divert their fury at him.It was getting closer to eight o’clock. He anxiously nudged Kathleen and mumbled, “Kathleen… Maybe I shouldn’t go up in a while…” Kathleen said resolutely, “None of us can be absent in today’s press conference!” Xavion panicked. “I’m afraid that my appearance later will cause public anger. It’ll be bad if it affects your press conference…”“Don’t worry about it,” Kathleen said, not leaving any room for him to wriggle out. “The three of you don’t have to say or do anything on stage. I’ll speak all by myself. You just need to apologize together when I apologize to the public. Bow with me as I do.”Xavion wanted to say something else, but Jordan interrupted him with a cold growl, “Xavion! Your son has made such a big disaster, and you’re his father! If you don’t show up, what will others think of us?!” Xav

It was extremely rare for anyone to be like Kathleen, who admitted the family’s mistake and took responsibility for them. As such, everyone pushed aside their contempt and began to concentrate on Kathleen’s next words.Kathleen continued sternly, “The reason I say that we, the Fox family, have an unshirkable responsibility is mainly because of the following.”“Firstly, we failed to educate Homer well! We failed to shape his character to be a kind person or instill healthy and good values in him. Thus, his character and his personality went into the extremes. Because of this, he brought innumerable damages to society. We must be held accountable for this!”“Secondly, the Fox family also failed to supervise Homer’s actions. There is great negligence in supervision! Homer has been committing terrible atrocities for so many years, yet we were in the dark and only discovered everything yesterday. This is the Fox family’s failure, as well as a dereliction of duty! Had we discovered this m

However, Kathleen’s method of handling this matter was simply perfect in everyone’s eyes. This was a textbook crisis public relations for all top wealthy families.Still, the price of this public relations was also really big. They would have to fork out twenty or thirty billion US dollars just like that. Some top wealthy people might not even have such courage.When Kathleen saw that everyone was applauding her solution, she finally heaved a sigh of relief. She knew that this crisis public relation was successful.Although she was representing the Fox family and taking most of the blame on behalf of the Fox family, her attitude was sincere enough, and her solution was more than reasonable. Therefore, the people were able to tolerate her.This was also what Charlie had meant when he said to find a way out of an impasse.Standing up straight and taking a beating would always be much better than getting scolded with your head covered.If you took a beating, you would be able to s
