<h4>Chapter 295: Turning the Tide</h4>


    Faced with the crowd’s mocking and jeers, Leah was so angry her chest heaved, but she had no strength left to fight back. Covering her mouth, she ran out.


    The reporters, even more excited now, eagerly turned their cameras toward Eric and E on stage.


    "Thank you all for your support. My wife, E, and I are deeply grateful, so we’ve arranged a reception on the fifth floor to host everyone! I hope that in the future, when there’s a big scoop, you’ll all take a closer look and not be fooled by those with bad intentions," Eric said calmly, standing up and holding E’s hand.


    "Mr. Nelson, when will you hold the wedding?"


    "Mr. Nelson is such a kind man, not even mad that we wronged his wife."


    "Someone as dignified as Miss Davis couldn’t have done something like that."


    "Exactly, didn’t the Carter Group try to make peace before? But she didn’t even acknowledge them. That whole family is ruthless!"


    E smiled faintly. So what if Sean passed out? He brought that on himself! All of this, she would make sure to reim, tenfold.


    "The wedding will happen, but it depends on my wife. Whenever she wants, that’s when we’ll do it," Eric said, holding E’s hand tightly and smiling. In this moment, the coldness in his eyes was finally softened by a trace of warmth.


    E smiled slightly, "The wedding will be after I graduate from college. Thank you all, and I hope everyone enjoys themselves!"


    The crowd cheered loudly, and Amelia rushed over to hug E tightly.


    "E, let’s go have some drinks, and we won’t stop until we’re drunk!"


    Eric’s face darkened at the mention of this, remembering thest time E got drunk! It was utterly humiliating!


    But before he could protest, Amelia had already whisked E away, and Eric had no choice but to let the two women have their fun.


    The reception ended perfectly.


    The reporters flocked to the fifth floor for the feast. The scoop this time was too explosive—within minutes, surveince footage was online, creating another media storm!


    Watching E and the others leave, Mason squinted his eyes.


    That girl, and Eric—they’re not easy to deal with!


    Even Sean’s foolproof n had beenpletely thwarted by them, causing massive losses!


    But such opponents, aren’t they what make the game fun?


    ...


    In a private room at the Elite Horizon Club.


    E and Amelia were chatting while a few men yed mahjong. E would never have imagined that Eric knew how to y mahjong!


    "How are things with you and Chloe? I heard you two had a falling out? Mason is such a jerk! Next time I see him, I’ll punch him!" Amelia fumed.


    E looked a bit downcast. "What can I do? I’ve called her, but she won’t answer. I’ll give her some time to cool off and then talk to her again."


    "Your friend is really clueless! Mason’s a horrible person, and she’s ming you?"


    Amelia felt even more injustice on E’s behalf.


    "If it weren’t for you, those thugs would’ve ruined her! It’s infuriating—she used to seem so nice. How can people change their hearts so quickly?"


    The more Amelia talked, the angrier she got, but E shook her head. "Let’s not dwell on it. Chloe grew up with everything handed to her; she’s never faced this kind of blow or hardship. Once she calms down, she’ll understand who was right and who was wrong."


    Amelia snorted, "I hope so. Anyway, let’s not talk about her. Come on, we’re celebrating today. Let’s not stop until we’re drunk!"


    "Amelia, when did you evolve into a total drinker?"


    "Hmph, I’m just doing this because I’m happy. I don’t usually drink like this!"


    It was broad daylight, but E didn’t want to spoil the mood, so she took a small sip. Soon, her face started to feel warm.


    "By the way, didn’t you say you couldn’t get the surveince footage from Imperial Crown Club? Sean must have prepared in advance, so how did you manage to get it?" Amelia suddenly remembered, recalling how she had told Richard to keep quiet and enjoy the show.


    She hadn’t expected E to surprise her like this.


    "When I got Chloe’s call, I realized right away that the Carter Group was behind it. With Mason teaming up with them, I had to be extra cautious. So, I had one of Eric’s hackers hack into their system ahead of time. As for how the hacker did it, you’ll have to ask Larry!" E replied with a smile.


    Without these preparations, she would have been in big trouble this time!


    Thanks to her confidence in Larry, E dared to fall right into Sean’s trap, turning the tables on him and humiliating him in the process!


    Amelia burst intoughter, pping her hands in approval.


    An hourter.


    Sean’s self-inflicted humiliation video was trending wildly online, bing the number one search topic on Twitter!


    All over the posts and journalists’ Twitter feeds, people were calling Sean a shameless, despicable old man. Even those who had once insulted E now felt they’d been deceived and were furious.


    Naturally, the headlines on every major site were all about what happened at E’s press conference.


    Everyone was shocked by how some people, even family, could stoop to such levels. Yet the person they despised most was Sean.


    After returning to school, even the ssmates who had insulted E before felt ashamed and began apologizing to her on Twitter and Facebook.


    But that wasn’t the most important thing.


    The key point was that in just two days, E would have her DNA test results!


    Seeing E suddenly getting anxious, Eric decided to lift her spirits a bit. She had been through so much recently, and it was starting to take a toll on her. So he invited Richard and Amelia to join them on a trip to Silver Creek Valley.


    Silver Creek Valley is one of the most famous scenic spots in Country S.


    It’s located in a small town in Y City, which had developed remarkably well over the years, attracting tens of millions of tourists annually!


    Without wasting time, Eric and the group flew to the small town near Silver Creek Valley that same day. E’s gloomy mood from the past few days finally began to lift.


    Even though she had cleared her name and humiliated Sean, the thought of Chloe still weighed heavily on her mind.


    The ancient streets, leisurely horses, friendly locals, and endless delicious food that E couldn’t stop eating—it was all amazing!


    While she was busy devouring a te of smoked ribs, she identally spotted someone entering the restaurant, and immediately shot a frustrated look at Eric.


    Eric noticed the person too, and his eyes gleamed with cold anger.


    Ever since Mason’s plot had nearlynded E in danger, Eric had been keeping an eye on him.


    And now, seeing Mason here, he knew there was no way he would let him off this time!
