Melanie Sanders’ words made Marcus Sanders’ heart sink. Though he had been mentally prepared, he still found it difficult to accept the reality.Melanie Sanders continued, “At present, whether in terms of market momentum or the attitude of our partners, Hill Group holds a clear advantage over us.”“Brother, you need to decide our next move as soon as possible.”Marcus Sanders nodded. “Although the current situation has exceeded our expectations, we must remain calm and deal with the problems one step at a time.”“This is not yet a dead end. Russell, contact more online influencers and hired commentators. Control the first wave of public opinion. You know what to do, right?”Hearing this, Russell Sanders nodded vigorously.“Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll guide them to release negative commentary about Hill Group’s new products from every possible angle. We absolutely won’t lose the battle of public opinion.”Marcus Sanders nodded. When it came to Russell Sanders, he was still confident.He the

Before Adrian could even finish his sentence, Daisy lunged forward and wrapped him in a tight embrace.“An angel! You’re the male angel heaven sent to me!”Adrian was truly at a loss this time. A “male angel”… it didn’t exactly sound like a compliment to him. Still, seeing how excited Daisy was, he decided to let it slide.He patted her back gently, but before he could say anything, he noticed Freya standing frozen in the doorway, her face a picture of shock, unsure whether to advance or retreat.Freya looked as though she’d been struck by a spell—her posture and expression perfectly still, like a lifelike statue.What… exactly had she just witnessed?Adrian and Daisy!Freya suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to find a wall and knock herself unconscious.In broad daylight, and they had absolutely no sense of propriety!Adrian had no idea what kind of internal battle Freya was fighting. He simply waved a hand, signaling for her to leave.A mass of dark lines filled Freya’s mind as she

With partners crowding the company, Daisy didn’t believe Stuart Thompson and the others hadn’t shown up.Sure enough, Freya nodded.“Mr. Thompson, Mr. Parker, and Chairman Irving are all in the reception area.”Freya paused, then added as she set the documents down, “Miss Daisy, these three files are from them.”Daisy’s lips twitched slightly. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly.“Freya, go to the main reception room and keep the other partners calm. We really are out of stock for now, but R&D and production have already started working around the clock.”Freya didn’t dare delay and hurried off to the Hill Group’s main reception room.Having followed Daisy for quite some time, she knew exactly how to handle the situation and what to say.Daisy, meanwhile, took the three documents Freya had left behind and headed straight for the reception area.Adrian followed closely behind. Daisy hadn’t anticipated such a chaotic scene, but Adrian wasn’t surprised at all.Given how explosiv

Adrian noticed nothing amiss and bade her farewell with his usual courtesy.“Captain Ophelia, we’ll be heading out now. Let’s talk again sometime.”No sooner had Adrian and the others left than a woman in uniform hurried over in a panic.“Captain Ophelia, something’s happened.”Only then did Ophelia pull her thoughts back and ask briskly, “What is it this time?”“It’s Thunder City. Many karate and judo dojos there have been challenged and shut down—casualties are severe. The hospitals are already overwhelmed. Thunder City has requested reinforcements, and Commander Hamilton has ordered us to assist as well.”Ophelia nodded without hesitation.“If the commander has given the order, then we move immediately.”“What about the kidnapper?”Ophelia glanced toward the station and let out a cold snort.“Didn’t she refuse to cooperate with us? Then let her stay here for a day. We’ll take her away tomorrow.”With that, Ophelia got into a car. Once everyone was assembled, they drove straight tow

Russell Sanders’ sudden reversal left Duncan Kirk so furious he nearly suffered a heart attack.Yet he did not dare openly offend the Sanders family. After all, the Kirk family was no longer what it once had been.Moreover, the Kirks had only a single daughter, and their decline was plain for all to see.Perhaps that was precisely why their daughter had clung so tightly to the Sanders family all these years.Angry and heartbroken, Duncan Kirk nevertheless forced himself to lower his stance and continue speaking to Russell Sanders with painstaking politeness.“Russell, you know very well that my daughter has no personal grudge against Adrian. Wasn’t she acting for the sake of the Sanders family—for your sake—when she did something as foolish as that kidnapping?”There was silence on the other end of the line. To Duncan Kirk, it felt like a glimmer of hope. He gripped the receiver tightly and pressed on.“The Kirk family doesn’t have many connections anymore, but your father is differen

Skyline City, Anping Village Police Station.Nicole Kirk sat in a chair in the lobby, one leg crossed over the other, her face brimming with smug satisfaction and unrestrained arrogance.The captain who had brought them in earlier wore a troubled expression, forced to plaster on a polite smile whenever his gaze landed on Nicole Kirk.Nicole Kirk waited cheerfully for Adrian and Daisy to come out.After about five minutes, Adrian finally emerged from the inner room, holding Daisy’s hand as they walked out together.During the statement-taking, Adrian and Daisy had recounted nearly every detail of what had happened. Yet the moment they saw Nicole Kirk sitting there as calm and self-assured as ever, both of their expressions darkened.Nicole Kirk stood up, lifting her chin as she looked down her nose at Daisy and Adrian.“I told you so. Even if you called the police, don’t even think you can keep me here.”Adrian frowned and turned to look at the captain of the precinct.The captain let
