?Chapter 991:


    “Exactly! This just shows Maia wasn’t cheating, but that whole explosion case was definitely because of her. She’s no heroine—more like a jinx.”


    “Right on! If she hadn’t been involved, none of this mess would have unfolded. Lucky for us, Vince didn’tpletely lose it. If he’d brought a real bomb, who knows how many lives Maia could’ve cost?”


    Out of the blue, a hidden faction in the crowd spoke up in unison. Theyunched a sharp attack on Maia, ming her for all the trouble. The atmosphere quickly spiraled back into chaos.


    At that moment, Rnd rose to his feet with slow, deliberate calm, his presencemanding attention. He spoke firmly, “Regarding Vince’s case, as thewyer for the victims, I will be filing a formalwsuit against Vince Ward. The trial is scheduled for next Wednesday. All the facts wille to light then.”


    His announcement sent shockwaves through the crowd once more. Many immediately recognized him, murmuring, “Wow! That’s Rnd Cullen, the famous attorney from Zenith Legal.”


    “Rnd Cullen himself. The acewyer and undefeated senior partner at Zenith Legal stands before us. I can’t believe he’s actually attending this press conference.”


    “Wait, could it be that the truth isn’t what we’ve been told? Maybe Maia really is being framed.”


    “This will be quite the spectacle. His words make it crystal clear where he stands… Well, to put it bluntly, he’s throwing his full weight behind her.”<fn9252> Chapters first released on Find_Novel(.</fn9252>

    Kolton’s special assistant turned red with fury, rushed to the stage, and yanked the microphone from udius’ grip. “Everyone, please calm down!” he shouted desperately.


    However, the scene had already spiraled beyond control, with reporters in the crowd bellowing questions.


    “Is Cooper Group deliberately smearing Maia’s reputation?”


    “Give the public some real answers!”


    Several Cooper Group executives exchanged panicked nces before scrambling to their feet, desperately trying to restore order. “Please, everyone, just stay calm.”


    Still, the barrage of questions from the crowd continued relentlessly, their voices quickly swallowing any attempt at damage control.


    Without warning, four towering bodyguards in dark sunsses stormed the stage and forcibly dragged udius away. udius offered no resistance whatsoever.


    Instead, he simply cast an indifferent nce at the chaotic crowd below, his eyes holding a strange mixture of satisfaction and something deeper. The live broadcast cut to ck without warning, leaving viewers staring at empty screens.


    The Cooper Estate.


    Kolton sat rigid with tension, eyes squeezed shut as veins pulsed visibly across his forehead.


    When his eyes snapped open again, Kolton summoned his covert operatives with a voice as cold as ice.
