Riona stood there with a clear look of displeasure in her eyes.

Hannah didn’t look any better. She replied, “Our work hours start at ten.”

Riona frowned, her tone sharp. “And this is the kind of work attitude your company allows?”

It was the first time someone had openly given her attitude like this, and her expression darkened even

more.

Hannah really wanted to snap back.

With a mother like this backing him, it was no surprise Landon had turned out the way he did. Showing up at Velmora Media like this, anyone could tell what she was here for.

But thinking of Elena, she forced herself to hold it in.

“Please wait a bit longer,” Hannah said, “Ms. Sterling will be here soon.”

“I’ve already been waiting for almost an hour,” Riona said impatiently.

“Then you can leave.”

Sophia said as she walked in, having heard Riona’s complaints from outside. She had no intention of tolerating her.

“Sophia?” Riona recognized her immediately.

She gave a stiff smile. “What, you don’t recognize me?”

She assumed Sophia was being rude because she hadn’t recognized her.

Sophia smiled back, her expression unreadable. “Of course I recognize you. If my mom were here, I’d call you Riona. But since she’s not, I’ll just call you Ms. Sterling.”

She didn’t stop there.

“Elena won’t be here that soon. If you can’t wait, you should head back. Instead of wasting time here, maybe you should spend it teaching your son not to do the kind of things that ruin innocent girls‘ lives.”

She didn’t soften a single word.

Hannah was stunned and quietly gave Sophia a thumbs–up behind Riona’s back. Riona’s expression was no longer just unpleasant. It turned cold.

“Do your parents know you speak to me like this?” Riona said.

By now, she had basically taken over most of the Sterling family affairs. Sophia’s father, Simon, didn’t interact with her much

her mother had met Riona several times, and they shared social circles.

Sophia had only been venting her frustration, but when Riona brought up her parents, she suddenly froze. Her face flushed, and she couldn’t get a

word out.

Chapter 283 The Visit

“I’ll let it go because you’re younger,” Riona said sharply. “Otherwise, people might start thinking there’s something wrong with how the Kingsley family was raised.”

Before she could finish, Elena came.

Her voice calm but carrying a chill. “The Kingsley family doesn’t need Ms. Sterling to judge. But speaking of family values, maybe you should take a closer look at your own first.”

“Finally,” Sophia said, her eyes lighting up.

Riona turned toward the door.

Elena walked in wearing a pearl–white blouse under a tailored trench coat. Her long hair fell smoothly over her shoulders, and there was a faint smile on her face that made her seem easy to approach.

But the calm in her eyes carried a quiet stubbornness and distance.

Riona frowned slightly.

No wonder Zoe had warned her. This woman was not easy to deal with.

Ignoring the scrutiny, Elena walked over and sat down at the desk.

“So, Ms. Sterling,” Elena said, “what brings you here today?”

Her knowing tone only made Riona’s expression darker.

“We’re both smart people,” Riona said as she sat across from her. “There’s no need to go in circles.”

She leaned forward slightly. “Take down everything you’ve published about Landon. If you do that, I’ll treat this as if nothing ever happened.”

Elena’s lips curved slightly.

“Ms. Sterling probably hasn’t worked in media before,” Elena said calm like that, what do you think people will say about us?”

She held her gaze. “I can’t do that. I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you.”

“So you’re really going to play dumb with me?” Riona said, losing patience.

This involved Landon. If it

She tightened her grip on her bag, forcing down her anger. “What will it take for you to delete it? Money? Or do I need to bring Walter or Evelyn into this?”

She was clearly trying to use the Kingsley family to pressure her.

She expected Elena to hesitate.
