Abel wanted to seize the opportunity to impress the reporters, showcasing his eloquence and demeanor. However, Faye felt a wave of secondhand embarrassment.
“We’ve already done our research on Joss Tech,” she said politely.
Abel chuckled. “Then let me test your knowledge!”
The overwhelming “dad energy” emanating from him made Faye Instinctively hold her breath.
“Lara, why didn’t you tell us earlier that you invited the media to film this?” Daphne exclaimed, her hands covering her flushed checks.
The sight of so many professional cameras and photographers was like a shot of adrenaline to her, making her heart race.
Many of the executives on the scene quickly adjusted their Des and suits, transforming into their most polished selves under the gaze of the cameras
Faye addressed the crowd, “My team and I are here to gather material for a feature report on Ms. Jones. Please act naturally and carry on with your conversations as usual. There’s no need to pay too much attention to the cameras.

Daphne, wearing a puffy canary–yellow princess dress with her dark hair cascading over her shoulders and a crystal crown perched on her head, stood next to Elara. She kept twisting and turning toward the cameras, eager to be in the spotlight.

Was Elara attending the welcome banquet Abel had organized for her as the new vice president? But why was Theodore there too? Just because they were dating now?
Hal. Dating.
The word felt like an invisible hand tugging at his heart, sending waves of pain through his entire body. Was this scene deliberately shown to him by Elara? After all, aside from her, only Leonard and Finnegan knew he was locked up here.
Harvey raised his eyes again, his gaze fixed intently on Elara.
How many years had it been since he last truly looked at her face? In his memory, the woman he had married, who spent her days revolving around their children, seemed no different from a maid.
But now, her youthful and vibrant beauty was imprinted on his retinas. His heart began to pound violently, as if someone was forcefully knocking on the door to his soul.
