Chapter 59

At the press conference, I only said one thing.

"After I posted that clarification last time, they still won't give up trying to accuse me. I can tell everyone responsibly that all their accusations against me are false. Those communication records are fake. I met Virio at a banquet before. At that time, Killian tried to drug me and hand me over to Hamilton, but Virio saved me."

How we met wasn't exactly romantic.

But coming from my mouth, it took on a somewhat dreamy quality.

This kind of narrative clearly stirred up emotions among some netizens. Halfway through my press conference, online discussions about me picked up again, with many people expressing their support.

Some even said they hoped to see Virio and me together.

"Virio and I didn't know each other before like you might think. I'm also surprised that our relationship has developed to where it is now, but clearly, we've moved beyond the family feud. I'm thinking, there was once the story of Romeo and Juliet, so why can't Virio and I be the same? Love is innocent. The life I have now is because when everyone chose to kick me out of the family, Virio sheltered me."

At this point, I sobbed softly. "Killian and Freya, whom I once considered family, betrayed me. Now, even though I'm not trying to go back home and fight for power, just releasing the truth, they're still trying to attack me in every way possible. But Virio, who barely knew me, has given me everything I could use and has been helping me all along."

At this point, I took a deep breath and looked at all the reporters. "From now on, I won't respond to any more false information they put out. All I can give you is this clarification and the post I made - that really is my father's will. You've completely angered me now. Next, I will take revenge on you without hesitation and take back everything my father left behind."

After saying this, I didn't give the reporters time to ask questions and left directly.

I didn't pay attention to what happened after the press conference, leaving everything to Luca and Charles to handle.

I went back to Virio's ward.

The doctors and nurses told me that Virio's condition was much more stable than before, and they predicted he should recover in the next few days.

I looked at the man on the bed and nodded to the doctor. "Thank you, you've all worked hard lately."

After chatting with the doctor for a bit, Sebastian called me.

I got up and went to the balcony to answer. Sebastian's excited voice came through. "Great, I've found their complete transaction records."

"Including when they met at that café outside. Although the people I sent could only hear bits and pieces, combined with their chat history afterward, I'm basically certain! Those fake communication records posted online were made by the two of them. And Freya will stop at nothing to target you - the agreement she signed with Alberto would practically push the entire Lacey family to the brink."

I was stunned to learn that Freya had promised Alberto thirty percent of the shares.

"No wonder Killian always said he wanted to protect her, not let her get involved in company struggles, and when he brought her into the company, he only had her do basic work. Seems like she has no idea what thirty percent means."

If Alberto got thirty percent of the shares, it would mean he could stand on equal footing with the largest shareholder!

With that much profit, given his ambition and methods, he could practically swallow up the entire Lacey family.

And in this situation, Freya was stupid enough to agree.

Sebastian talked to me for a bit, reminded me to take care of myself, then ended the call. Right after, he sent me the complete records.

This was what he got by hacking into Freya's private computer.

I stared at these records for a long time. The most important thing was indeed their deal. As for Freya and Alberto, there didn't seem to be any romantic feelings between them.

That surprised me.

I thought given Freya's situation, Alberto would also become one of her men.

But from what I could see now, she seemed pretty devoted to Virio.

At least until now, she didn't seem to have any plans to give up.

I collected my thoughts and looked out the window.

I was in Virio's study at the moment.

In Virio's residence, each suite included a small study and bathroom. He had prepared a separate room for me, but I preferred staying in his room.

I could go to Virio's room to see him anytime, and I could also stay here to work.

A moment later, an idea popped into my head. I took screenshots of some key transaction records and sent them to Killian.

At that moment, at the Lacey Villa, Killian was in his study, repeatedly thinking back to a previous incident.

He realized there seemed to be some movement in the study, but when he went to look for someone, he found no one there.

But he clearly heard the alarm in the study go off!

Thinking about this, Killian felt he needed to investigate again.

So he was looking for that day's surveillance footage.

He believed I had probably come back that time.

Just then, the computer screen suddenly lit up - a new email had arrived in his inbox.

Killian wasn't planning to deal with it, but seeing it was an anonymous email with the subject line mentioning Freya and Alberto.

Seeing these words, Killian narrowed his eyes and instinctively clicked the mouse to open the email.

After seeing what was inside, Killian flew into a rage. Within minutes, Freya was called to the study.

When Freya walked into the study, she thought Killian was going to ask about me as usual.

She had already figured out how to respond.

But in front of Killian, just as Freya was about to speak, she heard Killian say seriously, "A few days ago, you told me you needed to go out. I said you'd been grounded for so long and should have learned your lesson, so I let you go. What did you do that day?"

This question caught Freya off guard.

Freya wanted to say she didn't do anything, but she knew Killian wouldn't believe that.

As her brain was racing, Killian suddenly threw out several sheets of paper.

The papers fell like snowflakes. Freya froze for a moment, then picked one up with trembling hands, only to find it was a printout of her chat records with Alberto.
