Chapter 499 Public Relations

Not that Reuben didn’t want to help, but it wasn’t his place to do so.

The situation had already escalated, and Grayson couldn’t afford to stay out of it any longer. Even the

Xander Group’s stock would be affected.

Even if Evan took action, it would draw attention to the matter, but someone else had taken care of it

for

him.

Meanwhile, Daniella was involved in this incident. He had just signed an agreement with her today.

Axel was his top priority at the moment.

As the lawyer stepped out of the elevator, Evan asked, “Did you bring the agreement?”

The lawyer produced the document and handed it to Evan. “Please review this, Mr. Jordan.”

Evan carefully examined it, checking the few important clauses he had instructed the lawyer to include.

He then set the document down and instructed Reuben to call Daniella.

In the afternoon, Neil found himself surrounded by a group of journalists as he left the company.

“Mr. Xander, is Mr. Xander Sr. available? Could you please arrange for him to comment on the incident

with TYC’s CEO?”

“Mr. Xander, can you tell us if there are any conflicts between your company and TYC?”

“We’ve heard you have a close relationship with TYC’s CEO. Did Mr. Xander Sr. take action against

him

out of personal animosity?”

“Please, Mr. Xander, we need answers!”

Nell calmly faced the journalists and spoke once they quieted down. “Our company will hold a press

conference at 1:00 p.m. today to address your questions.”

Shortly afterward, Neil was escorted to his car by his bodyguards.

After getting into the car, the driver asked, “Where to, Mr. Xander?”

“TYC,” he replied, pulling out his phone to text Caroline.

Caroline was leaving her office when she received Nell’s message. Just as she replied to Neil, she

noticed Josie rushing over.

“Downstairs! Many journalists are waiting to interview you, Ms. Shenton.”

Caroline remained composed. “Do you have a hair tie?”

Josie was taken aback. “Uh, yes, I do.”

Caroline handed her bag to Josie and tied her hair into a ponytail. “Please fetch my coat.”

Josie stared at Caroline, momentarily stunned, as if she hadn’t heard her.

Caroline asked, “Do I look strange like this?”

Josie snapped out of her surprise and blushed. “No, Ms. Shenton. You look great, like a college

student…”

Her cheeks continued to burn. It was the first time she had seen Caroline in a ponytail.

Caroline had always been beautiful, and her makeup–free face now exuded a natural charm,

With her hair in a ponytail, her authoritative presence had considerably softened, making her appear

like

an energetic young woman.

“Fetch my coat, please, Caroline urged.

Josie hurried to the office, retrieved Caroline’s long, white coat, and handed it to her.

Caroline removed her jacket, put on the coat, and donned her sunglasses. She asked, “Can you still

recognize me?”

Josie shook her head vigorously. “I can’t recognize you anymore. But the journalists downstairs will

return

if they don’t see you.”

Caroline said, “Later, go downstairs and inform them that I can’t do the interview due to not feeling well.

Get the PR team to handle it in detail.”

Josie nodded. “Of course, Ms. Shenton.”

With Josie’s help, Caroline skillfully avoided the journalists as she left the company.

By coincidence, Nell’s car arrived at the building, so Caroline got in.

Neil couldn’t help but smile affectionately when he noticed Caroline’s changed appearance. “Are you

that afraid of the journalists?” he asked.
