Lilian considered it for a moment before nodding. “Fine. Since you’ve put it that way, I’ll let him slide this time. But if he ever tries to come after this land again, I’m settling both scores at once.”

“Agreed,” Sebastian said, his eyes softening. “And when that day comes, I’ll be right there to help you do it.”

By noon that day, Skyreach Group’s official website posted a formal announcement. A press conference was scheduled for Friday. The notice explicitly stated that the chairman, Lilian, would be there to answer all questions regarding recent events. There would be no filtered topics. She promised a full, transparent response to the public.

The news sent shockwaves through the media. Ever since her identity had been leaked, Lilian had seemingly vanished. Every reporter in Kingston had been hunting for her, but Skyreach had maintained a stony silence, refusing to issue a single statement even as the online vitriol reached a fever pitch. This sudden move only intensified the public’s curiosity.

Karina was swarmed by reporters the moment she stepped out of the office. They shouted over one another, asking if the chairman would really show up and if it was true she had destroyed her own father’s company out of spite. They wanted to know how a fourteen–year–old built an empire and if she really was the one behind the medical formulas.

Karina remained composed, her voice steady as she addressed the crowd. “I’m sorry, but I won’t be answering any questions today. As per our official notice, Ms. Lilian will address everyone personally this Friday. You may ask whatever you wish then. Thank you.” With that, her assistants ushered her into a waiting car.

Watching the news footage of Karina’s departure from a sofa across town, Rowan turned to Robert with a frustrated expression. “Grandpa, what’s the move? The public is split right down the middle now. There’s still a massive wave of support for Skyreach. We’ve spent days trying to manufacture a boycott, but the latest sales reports just came in. Their products sold out the moment they hit the shelves this month, just like always. The online scandal hasn’t touched their bottom line.”

Robert leaned back, his eyes cold as he rhythmically spun the stress balls in his hand. He stared at the television, lost in thought. “It seems Skyreach has built more loyalty than I anticipated,” he muttered. “I expected people to recoil once they realized the formulas were coming from a teenage girl with a tarnished reputation. The fact that they’re still lining up to buy her products is unexpected.”

He had been certain that revealing her age and inexperience would be the killing blow. He thought the public would view her as a fraud and her products as dangerous. Seeing the brand emerge unscathed from the initial smear campaign was a calculation error he hadn’t seen coming.
