Chapter 361

Retaliate The following day, Grayson arrived at my house with a USB drive containing the entire incident at the rooftop garden.

He said, “After Mr. Nick took you to the hospital, I checked the rooftop cameras but couldn’t find any evidence. Someone had tampered with the footage from that time.

“Since ATL Empire owns the hotel Starlight International, I didn’t bypass their system. However, based on the information on this USB drive, it’s clear that someone more skilled than us is involved. In other words, this information probably came from…”

Grayson didn’t finish his sentence, but I knew what he meant. The information came just in time, making everything crystal clear.

The only disappointing part was that the person behind it was Jack, who worked for Kenzie. I didn’t know Jack, and we’d never even met.

Grayson looked at me, hesitating. “Chlo, should we keep investigating? I don’t believe Jack is behind this- he’s just the fall guy.”

I said coldly, “Keep investigating. But if someone’s taking the blame unfairly, we can’t let them suffer for no reason. Still, we need to find the truth.”

Grayson nodded. “I got it, Chlo!”

“Tell Carol and the legal team to come up with a plan. I will hold a press conference in the Galar Tower lobby at 10 o’clock the day after tomorrow. Invite all the media, especially the ones who cause the most stir.

“Notify Mr. Adrian as well. Don’t leave anyone out, whether they’re individuals, groups, or companies.

Send them a legal notice, sue them, and demand a public apology!

Let’s file a police report against those paid provocateurs and online trolls. I want them to face legal consequences for their actions.”

Grayson burst into uncontrollable laughter, “Chlo, I’ve been waiting for you to say this long ago! Some people have no shame Rest assured, I’ll be by your side.”

Stella had seriously underestimated her opponent when it came to me.

It felt like the grudge between us had been brewing for longer than a few days. It was as if it had been destined since I saw her unsettling smile at the entrance to my house. We were in a life–or–death struggle.

“Grayson, tell Carol to set up a meeting with the higher–ups. You and I are going out.”

“Chlo, your foot…”

“It’s okay!” I glanced at the reporters gathered outside. “I need to go out!”

My mother grew anxious. “Oh dear, this isn’t right. Those people are in a frenzy! You’ve only just recovered. Please don’t go out and risk an accident!”

In his usual composed manner, my father said, “We have to face this eventually. Righteousness will prevail.”

“I’m going out to announce my decision. Let them leave!” I stated firmly.

With Grayson’s help, I made my way upstairs after freshening up. Grayson had already informed Carol to prepare for the meeting. Then he helped me to the front door. With a deep breath, I walked out of the house with determination.

Reporters who had not seen me since the beginning surrounded the entrance and shouted questions.

I announced my decision with a calm look at the gathered reporters. Then I asked them to leave.

Grayson followed up with a solemn statement, urging them to depart.

The reporters exchanged glances, and suddenly, one male reporter spoke up, “I think we should leave.

We’ll await your explanation since you have announced a press conference.”

I looked at the reporter and asked, “May I ask which media outlet you’re from?”

“Panch Media! I’m Noel Hudson,” the reporter called out.

Inodded. Thank you!”

Then I asked Grayson to remember his name.
