Upon hearing those words, Elspeth felt her vision go black and nearly fainted on the spot.
Now, the person she resented the most wasn't Evadne, but that manipulative Edith who had toyed with her daughter!
The crowd was in an uproar, their discussions heated!
Now, the evidence was clear. Glynnis was not the victim, but the mastermind behind the counterfeiting!
Reporters in the room began to furiously type away, sending out news updates like wildfire—
Shocker! The Ashbourne heiress was actually the legendary designer, Alea!
Instead of relying on her looks, she chose to rely on her talent. How many more secrets does the Ashbourne heiress have?
Glynnis of the Abernathy Group's baffling actions left people shaking their heads. How dare she give counterfeit items to a superstar? No one would dare to be so bold!
When will Elspeth and her daughter stop causing drama?
Glynnis, too, was taken aback. In just half a year, she had once again become the trending topic, with even more impact than her previous apology at a press conference!
Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, Elspeth tried to guilt-trip Thaddeus, hoping to pass the mess onto him. "Thaddeus! As the president of the Abernathy Group and Glynnis' brother, are you just going to stand by and watch as they attack your sister?
Although I'm not your biological mother, Glynnis is still related to you by blood. Can you really help that outsider and turn a blind eye to your own family?"
"Turn a blind eye? And who are you calling an outsider?" Thaddeus asked coldly, his eyes darkening.
"Who else could it be but this woman by your side?" Elspeth hissed through gritted teeth.
Thaddeus glanced at Evadne, "She doesn't count."
Evadne frowned, looking at Thaddeus' side profile and thinking, "What's wrong with this man?"
Elspeth was furious, "You...! You're nothing but a lustful fool!"
"Being a lustful fool is better than being a greedy one."
Thaddeus' cold gaze held a hint of danger as he pulled out his phone to call Gordon, "Bring her in."
Evadne was puzzled, not understanding what Thaddeus was up to.
At that moment, the conference room door was pushed open again.
Under the watchful eyes of all, Gordon pushed a wheelchair slowly into the room.
In the wheelchair sat a woman, her face obscured by a cap and a mask, making it hard to make out her features, apart from the fact that she was a woman.
"Thaddeus, what the hell are you doing?" Evadne asked in a low voice, unconsciously pulling at Thaddeus' sleeve.
Thaddeus swallowed, as if his heart had also been tugged by her, "I'm helping you to reclaim what rightfully belongs to you."
What?
Evadne looked at the person in the wheelchair, blinking her eyes.
At that moment, the woman in the wheelchair lifted her trembling hand and slowly removed her cap and mask.
It was Caroline Porter!
Everyone looked at the gaunt face, puzzled.
Only Glynnis was terrified, backing away as if struck by lightning. Her expression was numb, as if all the blood had been drained from her body.
Evadne looked in disbelief at the very much alive Caroline, then at Thaddeus, his expression as calm as still water.
In an instant, she understood the whole story!
Caroline had indeed been in a car accident and had been hospitalized, but she hadn't become brain-dead or a vegetable.
The reason for the spread of such news was all due to Thaddeus' behind-the-scenes planning.
