Chapter 55

At the same time, Raymond was sitting in the office of the Stuart Corporation, watching the live broadcast of the press conference, a smug smile playing on his lips.

"Russell."

Raymond was ready to continue pressuring the Carnegie Corporation until it was completely crushed, to vent his pent-up anger.

Meanwhile, Dorothy and Russell were facing an unprecedented challenge. Whether they could turn the tide again and break through in this brutal business war was still unknown.

In the tense and deadlocked atmosphere of the press conference, Russell carefully reviewed the so-called "key evidence" presented by the Stuart Corporation. The more he looked, the tighter his brow furrowed, realizing that this was another fabricated document by the Stuart Corporation.

Russell took a deep breath, steadied himself, and picked up the microphone, looking firmly at the puzzled reporters below, and said loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, this document is full of holes and was completely fabricated by the Stuart Corporation to smear Mr. Wallace and the Carnegie Corporation. We have sufficient evidence to prove Mr. Wallace's innocence and to confirm the malicious intent of the Stuart Corporation."

As he spoke, Russell signaled his assistant to display a series of detailed and scrutinized evidence they had previously collected, and he explained each piece in detail, debunking the lies fabricated by the Stuart Corporation one by one.

The reporters below began to reassess the situation, with many of them showing signs of condemnation towards the Stuart Corporation's improper actions as their doubts gradually dissipated.

Dorothy, watching Russell defend her and the Carnegie Corporation so steadfastly, was filled with gratitude. She silently vowed that no matter what, she would stand by Russell to protect the Carnegie Corporation and never let the Stuart Corporation's schemes succeed.

In the office of the Stuart Corporation, Raymond's face darkened as he saw the live broadcast not unfolding as he had expected.

He slammed the table and shouted at his assistant, "What's going on? How could they turn the tables? Find a way to continue smearing them, and don't let the Carnegie Corporation get back on its feet!"

The assistant, trembling, responded and hurried off to arrange the next steps.

I watched the live broadcast at home, shaking with anger.

I never expected Russell to go to such lengths to help Dorothy.

"If you're going to protect her like this, don't blame me for using harsher methods," I muttered through gritted teeth, a determined look in my eyes.

After the press conference, the Carnegie Corporation's reputation was somewhat restored, and Stanley temporarily escaped the whirlpool of public opinion.

But Dorothy and Russell knew that the Stuart Corporation would not give up, and this business war was far from over.

In the following days, the Stuart Corporation continued to launch new attacks on the Carnegie Corporation in the business arena. They used various means, such as spreading rumors about the quality issues of the Carnegie Corporation's products in the market or secretly wooing the Carnegie Corporation's partners to try to cut off their cooperation.

Under such siege, the Carnegie Corporation's situation became increasingly difficult. But Dorothy did not back down at all. She and Russell led the Carnegie Corporation team, fighting day and night.

At a new press conference, Russell carefully examined the new document presented by the Stuart Corporation. The more he looked, the tighter his brow furrowed. The document seemed solid, but he felt something was off, as if it had been deliberately pieced together to guide public opinion against them.

Dorothy took a deep breath, steadied herself, and looked up at the restless reporters below, saying loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, this document may seem convincing at first glance, but I ask you to give us some time to verify it. I believe the truth will not be easily covered up, and we will certainly give you a clear and honest answer."

Even though she was filled with anger and grievance, she knew she couldn't lose her composure at this moment. She forced a smile, echoing Russell's words, hoping to stabilize the situation temporarily.

The press conference ended in chaos and suspicion, and Dorothy and Russell immediately began investigating the source and authenticity of the new document. They brought in a professional legal team and business investigation experts, working tirelessly day and night.

Upon learning about the follow-up of the press conference, I felt a bit uneasy.

I wasn't sure how much damage the document could do; I just wanted to make sure Dorothy and Russell couldn't easily turn things around.

"Mrs. Percy, is this really a good idea? If it's discovered that we deliberately framed them, it could significantly damage the Stuart Corporation's reputation," the maid whispered.

I glared at her and said coldly, "What's the use of saying that now? I want Dorothy to suffer. After what she did to me at the wedding, how could I let her off easily?"

After days and nights of arduous investigation, Dorothy and her team finally found flaws in the document. It turned out that the document had indeed been maliciously altered, with key data and transaction records taken out of context to fabricate evidence of Stanley's wrongdoing.

Dorothy, holding the investigation results, had a fire of revenge in her eyes. She decided not to be passive anymore and to take the initiative to make the Stuart Corporation pay for their actions.

"Russell, we now have the weapon to fight back. We can't let the Stuart Corporation bully us anymore," Dorothy said to Russell.

A fierce look flashed in Russell's eyes, "Alright, it's time to let Sienna know that we are not to be trifled with."

So, they held another press conference. This time, Russell presented the evidence of the Stuart Corporation's forged documents and the entire investigation process in detail to the media. Instantly, public opinion shifted, and people began to condemn the Stuart Corporation's despicable actions, causing their reputation to plummet.

I didn't expect things to turn out this way. Watching the overwhelming criticism of myself and the Stuart Corporation online, I was filled with regret and panic.

Russell and Dorothy seized this opportunity to fully restore the Carnegie Corporation's reputation and business. Stanley was also completely freed from the negative public opinion.

Amid the public's criticism, I was filled with unwillingness and resentment.

I couldn't accept that my attempt to push Dorothy into a corner had instead put the Stuart Corporation in such a disgraceful position and brought Russell and Dorothy closer together.

Gritting my teeth, a determined look flashed in my eyes. I decided to go all out, using all my connections and resources, even resorting to unscrupulous means, to turn the situation around again.

I began secretly contacting some gray forces in the business world, offering them large sums of money to create various troubles for the Carnegie Corporation.
