Lilian gave a small nod and a smile before stepping into the elevator with Unno. The moment the doors opened at the top floor, Karina’s frantic voice cut through the air. “You’re finally here!”

Seeing her friend’s panicked expression, Lilian laughed softly. “Relax. I wouldn’t miss a day like this. Let’s go. It’s time to head into the line of fire.”

Inside the conference hall, the air was thick with restless chatter. The start time was seconds away, yet not a single executive from Skyreach Group had appeared.

“You think the kid chairman got cold feet?” a man in a beige vest sneered, looking around the room.

“I doubt it,” someone replied. “The whole country is watching. If she no–shows today, Skyreach is finished in this city.”

“Who knows? Maybe she’s just guilty,” another voice chimed in. “All those rumors online can’t be fake. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. If she hadn’t done anything wrong, why would people be talking?”

“Exactly. And the fact that Skyreach swallowed the Sinclair Group is a matter of public record. This girl clearly isn’t as innocent as she looks.”

The room suddenly went silent as the double doors swung open. Lilian walked in, her white suit crisp and her pace steady. Her appearance alone seemed to pull the air out of the room. While everyone had seen her on a screen, seeing her in person was a different experience entirely. She carried herself with an authority that demanded respect, making it impossible for anyone to look down on her age.

Behind her followed the Skyreach executives, faces the media usually only saw on the covers of financial magazines. The group took their places on the stage, with Lilian taking the center seat.

Ryan stepped up to the microphone. Dressed in a sharp black suit, he looked every bit the high–level executive as he scanned the crowd with a calm, practiced gaze. “Thank you all for coming to Skyreach Group today. I think we all know why we’re here. Lately, the internet has been flooded with rumors and slander directed at our chairman. These posts have sparked a massive public debate, so we are here today to provide clear, direct answers. To our friends in the media: you may ask whatever you wish. Our chairman will address every question personally.”

He stepped back and took his seat.

Lilian looked out at the sea of cameras and reporters, her expression cool and composed. “Good morning. I am Lilian Harrington, Chairman of Skyreach Group and the subject of the recent headlines. To be honest, I had no intention of revealing my identity until after I graduated university. I wanted a normal life, free from the complications this title brings. But things didn’t go according to plan. My background, my medical career, and my private life were dragged into the spotlight and picked apart by the public. The constant stream of threads and the endless wave of vitriol have disrupted my life and caused significant damage to this company.”
