Yes, M. Winifred Freyapended promptly.
When Joseph didn’t react, the poked him in the side. Joseph straightened up suddenly and smoothed his thinning hair to the baht. “If get right api.”
Aaron was Talia’s younger brother and the hour the Price family hail invested their resources in grooming
Within hours, Backshell International’s official account retweeted Yann’s personal Twitter post. My manage to my wis is legitimate, reasonable, and legal. Any media outlet that slanders my wife will receive a lawyer’s letter. There will be no exceptions.|
Under Freya’s coordination, major pro business media influencers began sharing and analyting the statement. The media war was about in explode.
At Price Manor, Talia had stayed up all night, dark circles shadowing her eyes. If Audrey wouldn’t give her
No matter how much Yann protected Audrey, once her background came to light, Talia believed that the rest of her. “I can’t wait to see Audrey get kicked out in disgrace she thought.
Winifred family would never accept
“Ms. Price, Mc. Price and Sir Price have returned together. They want you in the downstairs living room,” a servant announced at her door
Talia frowned. ‘Why is grandfather here again?” she wondered. “Got it,” she replied. She freshened up and applied light makeup to hide her exhaustion before heading downstairs.
Before Talia could say a word, a cup smashed at her feet, sending porcelain shards flying up to cut her ankle. Blood immediately began to seep from the wound. Talia paused for a moment, then forced herself to walk calmly into the living room. “Grandpa, Dad.”
“So you’re treating my words like they mean nothing?” Edmund asked mockingly.
Michael lacked Edmund’s composed demeanor and was already livid, his face flushed with anger. He’d been the one who threw the cup. His hands were clenched into fists on his knees, and his eyes burned with murderous rage. “You’re the one behind the Winifred family scandal,” Michael said bluntly.
Talia’s eyebrow twitched. She had used a firewall and several proxy servers, and while her actions could still be traced, it should have taken at least a week to track down her approximate location.
“You can’t just throw accusations at me because Audrey and I have issues, Talia protested.
Michael grabbed the
the cup from in front of Edmund and hurled it directly at Talia. She was so thin that the cup struck her hip bone with a sharp crack. She gasped in pain as the scalding coffee soaked through her clothes
Irene had rushed over after getting word of the confrontation and walked in just as this happened. She started to cry out in shock but quickly covered her mouth when she saw Edmund was also present
“Isn’t there some misunderstanding here?” Irene asked gently. “Talla has been home all week.”
“Then explain this to me,” Michael snapped, slapping a piece of paper down on the table.
irene carefully picked it up. It was a fax showing three IP addresses, Whoever had sent it had thoughtfully labeled each one–one belonged to the Price family residence, another to StellarCore Technology, and the third to Jocelyn’s house.
“This…“Irene turned to look at Talia, disappointment clear in her eyes. She knew Talia had been furious yesterday, but she hadn’t realized Talia would go this far.
When Talia noticed trene’s expression, she snatched the paper away. The moment she saw the addresses listed th “Where did you get this?” she demanded.
No one answered her, but the silence was answer enough.
-face went completely pale.

Michael pointed his finger at Talia’s face, his hand trembling with rage “Dark shell International has terminated all partnerelipt wit you happy now t
Talia whipped around to stare at her father, her eyes wide with disbelief. “This can’t lie possible. How is this even poesitter she thought frantically
Legan had established partnerships with the Price family during his tenure, and many projects were interconnected with shared profits.
if Dark shell International cut ties, it wouldn’t just hurt the Price family they would suffer lossed too. Talia couldn’t believe it. Yann euld have to be completely insane to make such a mon
Talia quickly pulled out her phone to call Yann, but discovered her number had been blocked. She called Dakshelf International’s secretary department instead. When the secretary learned who she was, they simply told her to expect a legal notice and hung up.
Sweat beaded on Talia’s forehead as she refused to accept reality and called Keith instead. “Ask Yarn if he’s rally willing to destroy his relationship with the Price family just for Audrey’s sake. Does years of friendship between our families mean nothing to him?”
There was a long pause before Keith’s voice came through the phone, sounding exhausted and helpless. “He promised me the lawsuit would only targ you, not the Price family. You’re the one who chose to cross his red line. There’s nothing I can do about it now”
“How can you not have a way to fix this? You two are close friends,” Talia said, panic finally setting in.
Keith responded with silence.
Talia paced in circles, her voice filled with resentment. “He married Audrey, which means he can accept her background. Everything I said was true. What gives him the right to go after the Price family!”
Keith still didn’t speak and didn’t hang up the phone, in the end, Talia was the one who ended the call
Talia turned to Edmund with pleading eyes. “Grandpa, I was the one who leaked the information, but everything I said was factual.”
Edmund had been resting with his eyes closed, but now he opened them slightly. “The subsidiaries you manage will be transferred back to the main company’s control, and your shares will be temporarily handled by Aaron. Focus on dealing with your lawsuit. When you get out, we’ll redistribute everything”
Talia swayed on her feet, nearly losing her balance. She hadn’t just lost her chance at inheritance. All her rightful privileges had been stripped away. “Grandpa, do you really have to do this to me?”
“Then tell me, how else can we calm Yann’s anger?” Edmund snorted.
Irene walked over to Talia’s side and took her hand. “Talia, your father will find you the best lawyer and fight for the lightest sentence possible. I’ll visit you regularly and make sure you don’t suffer in there
Talia stared at her mother in shack. “Did my entire family just abandon me?” she thought,
“Dad, I’ve contributed to this company,” Tale said, her heart feeling like it was being carved up by a dull knife, the pain overwhelming. “Back then, you praised me for being smart and capable. You said I was your pride and joy
t to throw me under the bus to calm Yann’s anger?
“I’m in trouble right now, and instead of finding ways to help me, you want to
“He respects you guys. If you stepped forward, he’d have to show you some respect. Why are you abandoning me without even trying?”
Edmund sighed and looked up at her slightly. “What makes you think we didn’t try?” He had made Talla stay home to reflect on her mistakes, then immediately contacted Yann.
The Price family had offered to give up 20 percent of the profits from a current joint project in exchange for Yann’s foreiveness. Yann had been crystal clear at the time. Talia had bullied his wife, and his wife needed to get her revenge before he’d let it go
It was just a conflict between Audrey and alia that wouldn’t affect all the cooperation between their families. Edmund had felt relieved at the time

Edmund hadn’t stopped her because he wanted to see if she could turn things arguand on her own. if he’d known she would make everything, he should have locked her up from the start.
As they were talking, the screech of car brakes echoed from outside, followed by someone running into the hos
