Reporters swarmed the South residence, quickly trending the news of how Ellis and the Davis familymembers were cornered there.
In the hospital.
Austin was leisurely sitting in the sofa, legs crossed, while Jackson was still in bed recuperating.Suddenly, Austin sprung to his feet, excitedly pointing at his phone.
âDid you arrange those reporters?â
Jackson was taken aback, âNo.â
Why would he arrange for reporters?
His goal was revenge and to take down the Olsen family. It was enough that the incident trended andthe Olsen familyâs stock was falling. Why would he waste money on arranging for reporters?
Austin was confused. âIf it wasnât you, then who did?â
Few knew that Mary was staying at the South
residence. Even Austin didnât know she wasnât living inn/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
the Olsenâs.
After all, they were newlyweds. Who would have
thought she would move out?
So someone must have arranged it!
Otherwise, how could the reporters have found her so accurately?
Jackson looked at him and said abruptly, âDo you still have the number that sent you the hospital reportthat day?â
Austin immediately took out his phone, scrolled through it, found the number, and dialed, only toreceive the message, âHello, the number you have dialed is not in serviceâ¦â
Austin frowned. âItâs a dead number; Iâll get someone to look up the owner.ââ
Jackson rolled his eyes.
Did he even need to check?
It was obviously an unregistered number!
Indeed, it didnât take long for Austin to get the information. It was an unregistered SIM card.
Austin laughed. âIt seems someone hates Ellis morenovelbin
than we do! Having reporters interview him, thatâs a manâs ultimate humiliation! If I were interviewed forbeing impotent, Iâd rather be dead!â
As soon as he said this, Jacksonâs face twitched involuntarily.
He subconsciously looked toward a certain part of himself that was now missingâ¦
Compared to being infertile, his condition seemed
even more serious, didnât it?
But he dared not get angry.
He had no choice. Austin was the favored legitimate son of the first branch, while he was just from thesecond. Ever since his uncle took charge of the Gill family, his father had told him never to fall out withthe first branch.
Jackson clenched his fingers tightly.
Austin could speak without any consideration for his feelings. That last remark was particularly grating!
At this moment, Ellisâs face was darkened.
The usually unruly and defiant figure was now the picture of calm and collected, resembling the steadymien of a future Olsen family head.
He was always like this.
He might seem capricious and unreliable, but if that were truly the case, Uncle Olsen would not have
chosen him.
Not feel humiliated?
How could he not?
It was just that they were able to keep their emotions from showing on their faces.
The reporters passed along even more unpleasant words.
âMr. Ellis, is your infertility really caused by horseback riding? Could it actually be hereditary? After all,Uncle Olsen doesnât seem to have any children eitherâ¦â
Ellisâs eyes instantly became sharp as he looked toward the speaker. âWhich newspaper are you from?
Itâs fine to ask me, but why involve my elder? Is the
Olsen familyâs reputation something you can smear at
will?â
He turned directly to his assistant who was always by his side. âRemember him, have the lawyers ofthe Olsen Group sue him for tarnishing my uncleâs reputation!â
The reporterâs face immediately turned pale, but he still straightened his neck and retorted, âMr. Ellis,this is unreasonable of you. Iâm just putting forth a conjecture. Besides, everyone knows that UncleOlsen
has never had childrenâ¦â
The surrounding reporters nodded in agreement.
Mr. and Mrs. Olsen, standing to the side, both changed in expression, and even Ken furrowed hisbrows.
Ellis might just be the future heir of the Olsen family, but the stocks were already sliding.
Uncle Olsen was the Family Head, and if such news were to break, the stocks would definitely plummeteven further!
Mr. and Mrs. Olsen were about to step forward to explain.
Ellis just sneered. âWho says my uncle doesnât have
children? Just a few days ago, our family had a reunion banquet where we acknowledged UncleOlsenâs long-lost daughter. Donât you know about this?â
After speaking, he turned to his secretary. âWe made it
very public without any secrecy. Are you not
well-informed? Or is it thatâ¦â
Ellisâs voice suddenly became stern. âYou only report the negative news about our family, not a singlepiece of good news? As journalists, is this how you chase
after rumors?â
The reporter was left speechless by his questioning.
However, the other reporters, after a slight pause, no longer dared to attack Uncle Olsen and continuedto question Ellis.
âThen Mr. Ellis, is your infertility report real?â
Ellis looked at the person who spoke and said, âThat is my privacy, donât I have the right to keep it
confidential?â
After that, he chuckled.
However, the reporter was not ready to give up and
continued to inquire, âIf your infertility is true, then whose child is Miss Mary carrying? Could you pleasegive us an explanation? Right now, everyone is paying attention to this matter.â
Ellis frowned and said, âI think what everyone should be more concerned about is the futuredevelopment plans of the Olsen family, not my personal matters! The Olsen family will soon implementa series of measures, including the development of new energy, Al intelligence, as well as conductingin-depth research on autonomous driving. We have already achieved very good results. Additionallyâ¦â
Ellis looked toward a certain camera. âThis month, we will launch a new electric car, and I myself drivethat model. It comes in various colors, with excellent safety features. I hope everyone pays moreattention to the products of the Olsen Group!â
This speech left the reporters stunned.
Wait, wasnât this a PR crisis? How come he was
treating this like a press conference?!
But Ellisâs move indeed halted the downward trend of the Olsen Groupâs stocks.
Keira, standing by his side, also raised her eyebrows.
With everyoneâs attention on this scandal, the interest was at its peak. Was Ellis⦠riding the wave ofhis own popularity for free?!
Uncle Olsen trained him to be his successor, and this
man certainly lived up to the expectations!
Lewis commented, âThis round of PR could be a case study in public relations, worth learning for all PRdepartments.â
Keira, who usually focused on scientific research, also nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
Ellisâs PR campaign was very powerful even if in the end it proved an Olsen family scandal, the higherthe scandalâs temperature, the more free advertising it brought to the Olsen Group.
Ellis won brilliantly.
The reporters, after being dumbfounded for a moment, snapped back to reality and promptly askedagain.
âMr. Ellis, we are still very interested to know, is your marriage to Miss Mary authentic? Is her childyours?â
