The press conference was still ongoing.
A member of the media asked, “Ms. Thornton, we are all aware of the significant impact the recent events have had on Thornton Corporation. May we ask about your future plans for the company?”
Madelyn let out a poised and dignified laugh. “We’ll continue to operate as usual, of course! This incident serves as a wake–up call for our company. Although I’m unsure who’s been scheming behind the scenes and trying repeatedly to push our company off a cliff, I won’t let them off the hook. Furthermore, I will definitely expose them, making sure they pay the price they owe. In short, our corporation will not let this
matter rest.
Following that, the press conference was nearing its conclusion.
Madelyn and Derek stood up together, smiling as they said, “All right, we’d like to thank each and every one of the media personnel for attending today. With this, we conclude our press conference. We hope that everyone will continue to follow the developments of our company’s pharmaceuticals. Please have a safe trip home.”
After they finished speaking, the two of them retreated together. The reporters present also began packing up, each heading on their way back.
And with that, everything came to a close.
Once backstage, Derek took a while to recover from the previous atmosphere. He held onto his daughter’s hand as if he was holding onto a cherished treasure.
“When did you start planning all this, Maddie? Why didn’t I know about it?” Earlier at the press conference, Derek was so anxious that his hands were shaking. He had just watched his daughter host a successful event, yet he remained in a state of shock.
Having finally regained his composure after a while, it was only natural that he would war reasons behind everything.
Upon seeing her father in such a state, Madelyn couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“Dad, I’ve actually known for a while that someone has been deliberately trying to tarnish our company’s reputation. But, I didn’t tell you at the time in order to avoid inadvertently alerting them. To prevent any unforeseen incidents, I chose to silently keep this matter to myself. However, looking back today, my decision was right. If I had made this matter public earlier, perhaps I would’ve been hit with even more slander”
Upon hearing these words, Derek nodded repeatedly and felt deeply comforted.
Given how the situation had escalated to such an extent, Derek was nearly at a loss for a solution. Fortunately, his clever daughter managed to turn the tide at the most crucial moment and got them. through a dangerous crisis,

Derek couldn’t help but frown when he heard that. “What? That can’t be right. Eunice has been with me all these days. She hasn’t gone anywhere.”
Madelyn explained earnestly, “Just because she didn’t go anywhere doesn’t mean she couldn’t have sent someone else to do it. I’ve been feeling that there’s something off about Eunice ever since she returned to the company. On the surface, she appears to be very obedient, but who knows what she’s really thinking? Of course, this is just my speculation. I do hope she isn’t involved in all this, but it’s best if you stay cautious,
Derek had no choice but to nod in agreement. Despite his unwavering trust in his younger daughter, he knew too well that his elder daughter would never raise an issue without reason.
As such, he decided to just sit back and see how things unfold.
However, all in all, Madelyn had successfully cleared the company’s name this time, which was undeniably a good thing.
Everyone in the company was overjoyed. Even those in the board of directors couldn’t help but be impressed by her performance.
Some even began to subtly sense that she was starting to exhibit an aura of a strong, independent woman.
Of course, Madelyn hadn’t thought that much.
Even though the company had been cleared of all accusations, she couldn’t find peace until the real instigator behind the scenes was caught. Every day without resolution was a day filled with unease.
As such, Madelyn instructed Cyrus, “Come with me to the police station. Let’s see if they’ve uncovered any significant leads.”
“Got it.”
Cyrus immediately nodded in agreement and proceeded as instructed.
Before long, the two of them had arrived at the police station together.
At that moment, Sean was being questioned by the police, and he was extremely cooperative just as he had stated at the press conference.
“Who exactly bribed you?” asked the police officer inside the interrogation room.
After a moment of contemplation, Sean finally said, “It was a person named Bastar.”
“Bastar?” The police officer seemed somewhat surprised. “Why would they approach you, then?”
With a sigh, Sean confessed, “To be honest, my current state of poverty is inextricably linked to a certain period in my past. Before I started working at this factory, I was aimlessly spending my days hanging out with a bunch of gangsters outside, which is why I couldn’t save a dime. This has always been a great disappointment to my family. It wasn’t until later that I met the woman who is now my wife, and we had our children, did I start to live a disciplined life. I began to work diligently, providing for my family. However, the pressures of life were overwhelming. I often felt drained and the inability to make money was incredibly distressing. That’s why I ended up believing in that b*stard and took this shortcut.”
As he spoke, Sean suddenly let out a self–deprecating laugh before continuing, “I suppose this is what you’d
