The Harvey Group scandal exploded overnight, and by the next day, everything had taken yet another dramatic turn.


    First, the official Harvey Group ount released a statement: the Harvey family had only one daughter, and Charlotte was merely Charles''s adopted child. They threatened legal action against anyone spreading false rumors, making it clear they wouldn''t tolerate any nder.


    Thements section was flooded with outrage.


    People called them shameless, pointing out that birth certificates and countless photos made the truth obvious-how dare they im Charlotte was adopted? If someone cheated, then own up to it. Don''t hide behind lies.


    Before long, thements were locked down.


    Not long after, Lysander''s personal ount suddenly posted: "The Harvey family has only one daughter."


    And everyone knew what kind of weight Lysander carried. Even if it wasn''t the corporation''s official ount, his personal statement sent shockwaves through the inte. Spection about his rtionship with the Harvey family only intensified.


    Add to that, Giselle-recognized as the legitimate daughter of the Harvey family matriarch—had always been cast as the victim in this web of infidelity, earning her widespread sympathy and support online.


    Rumors about Lysander and Giselle''s alleged affair had already been making the rounds. Now, with thistest statement, the inte dubbed Lysander "the chairman who defies the world for love"-standing up for his girlfriend in the most extravagant way possible. The romance of it all sent social media into a frenzy. Meanwhile, another bombshell dropped. Falcon Technologies-a subsidiary of Montgomery Holdings-announced a major transfer of equity: Giselle, thepany''s president, now held twenty percent of Falcon Technologies'' shares, making her the secondrgest shareholder with real decision-making power. Thergest shareholder, of course, remained Lysander.


    This news detonated across the entire business world, not to mention the rest of the inte.


    With the inte in an uproar, M couldn''t help but see it all too.


    She stared at the Falcon Technologies announcement on her phone and almostughed though the feeling was more bitter than amused.


    All she''d wanted during her divorce was three percent ofpany shares aspensation. Lysander had refused her at every turn, tight-fisted to the end.


    But now, with the Harvey family embroiled in scandal, not only had he stepped in to steer public opinion and lend them his support, he''d also handed Giselle a full twenty percent stake in Falcon Technologies, instantly making her thepany''s second most powerful figure, with real authority.


    Falcon Technologies might be a new addition to Montgomery Holdings, but with Lysander''s obsession with the tech sector, everyone knew this was where thepany''s futurey. Those shares were more than just numbers—they were a ticket to power and influence.


    Looking back now, M realized Lysander wasn''t stingy-just stingy with her. He was perfectly generous with his lover.


    How ironic.


    M let out a dryugh and closed her social media app, just as her phone rang- a call from a friend in the media.


    "What''s up?" she asked calmly.


    His voice came quick and excited. "You saw it, right? Montgomery Holdings hase out in support of the Harvey Group."


    "I did."


    "Tsk, this won''tst long. We''ve already gotten calls demanding content takedowns and to pull the trending topics."


    He sounded a little regretful, but not too upset-today''s scandal had already made him a tidy sum.


    But there was something else that bothered him more.


    "If only you''d agreed to leak the story about Charles possibly trying to hurt his mistress. That would have hit the Harvey family where it hurts, believe me. They wouldn''t forget that in a hurry."


    M replied coolly, "You said it yourself-possibly. If it involves someone''s life, don''t spread rumors without evidence."


    "Yeah, yeah, you''re right."


    He sighed. "I''ll keep digging. I''m not letting this juicy story go until I get a bite!"


    With business out of the way, he couldn''t resist gossiping a bit; after all, that''s what entertainment reporters did best.


    "So, what do you think-are the Montgomery and Harvey families about to tie the knot?"
