The sound of the shutters grew intense as the doors swung open. Lara had

changed into warm-toned clothes and appeared before everyone with a

smile.

“It’s Lara!”

Isabella stood up, exchanged a smile with Lara, and reached out her hand

The media captured the dramatic scene, leaving everyone stunned.

pressure. It’s my first time playing the role of a villain.”

Everyone on the stage still couldn’t believe it. Flashlights flickered non-stop at

Isabella and Lara. It was as if they hoped to capture something amiss from

their perfect expressions.

Isabella smiled and began to explain, “The 30th anniversary of the

establishment of Shaffer Group is approaching. Recently, we received many

anonymous reports, including many from the managers of Shaffer Group’s

affiliated malls.”

“To prevent false reports, we conducted a series of tests at various major

malls to examine the managers’ decision-making and attitudes.

Given this, Shaffer Group has already issued a dismissal penalty.”

“Such tests are unreasonable. How could the manager dare to go against

Miss Shaffer?!”

“It is indeed unreasonable,” Isabella continued with a serious expression.

“However, Shaffer Group has just obtained mining rights involving a national

pillar industry. This requires all senior executives of the group to maintain a

clear boundary between public and private matters. Otherwise, the damage

“Who knows if this is just a PR strategy?” someone raised a question.

Isabella smiled and exchanged a glance with Lara.

Lara rested her chin on her hand and uttered in a laid-back tone, “I don’t hold

any position in Shaffer Group. Therefore, I barely interact with Miss Symons.”

The media fell silent.

Isabella stood up, bowed to the media, and said, “Originally, the test was

supposed to be confidential. However, we’ve decided to make it public for the

sake of authenticity. We apologize for the misunderstanding and the

inconvenience it has caused today. The Shaffer Group is sincerely sorry.”

Once she was done with her speech, a media representative queried, “Miss

Symons, it’s been reported that you are no longer the executive secretary of

Shaffer Group. In what capacity are you speaking here today?”

Isabella’s smile seemed engraved on her face. She glanced at the camera

directly in front of her, knowing that Seth was watching.

“I am deeply grateful for Mr. Shaffer’s guidance. My departure was merely a
