?Chapter 1232:


    When he stepped out onto the porch, Jarrod was still lying motionless on the ground.


    A smirk tugged at his lips as he said, “nning to y dead? Drop the act. People who chase revenge are hard to kill. They always get back up.”


    Gradually, Jarrod’s blurred vision cleared, and his gaze fixed on the man standing before him.


    The sight gave him pause. Cohen’s beard was gone, and the dark sses that usually concealed his eyes were nowhere to be seen. Something about that face stirred a faint sense of recognition he couldn’t quite ce.


    Closing the distance between them, Cohen bent down and offered his arm. “Get up. I’ll make sure you get the revenge you’re after.”


    By the following morning, the city was alive with activity. Preparations for the grand charity g filled every street, and the people of Wront buzzed with excitement, as though the entire city had been seized by the same fevered anticipation.


    The morning broadcast on Wront Channel at eight o’clock filled the airwaves with the day’s biggest headline—the grandunch of Radiant Jewels under the Cooper Group, apanied by the much-anticipated charity g. It was described as the most influential event of the year in Wront, and citizens were warned to avoid major roads.


    “Due to several high-profile guests, main roads leading to the event will be under strict traffic control from 3 P.M. onward. Please n ordingly…” the news anchor’sposed voice echoed from the television.


    In the meeting room, Kiley sat on the sofa, her expression calm yet satisfied. She tapped her fingers lightly against the coffee table and said, “Let’s begin.”


    “Okay, Ms. Cooper,” her assistant replied promptly.


    Within minutes, the topics #CooperGroupCharityG and #RadiantJewelsLaunch surged to the very top of the trending searches, iming the first and second spots.


    Media outlets hurried to announce that they would be live-streaming the event.


    Shortly afterward, Kiley released a statement through the Cooper Group’s official ount. “All proceeds from today’s Radiant Jewelsunch will be donated to the Cooper Charity Foundation to support child healthcare projects.”

    The post spread like wildfire. Likes,ments, and shares climbed into the thousands within minutes. Yet amid the flood of reactions, one name began to surface repeatedly—MCN, along with Pattie and Maia.


    Thements were suspiciously coordinated.


    “I wonder if MCN will donate anything. Probably not a cent.”


    “Was Maia staying silent because she couldn’t handle the pressure?”


    “If Maia truly cares, she should follow the Cooper Group’s example and donate the profits from her own products.”


    “The Cooper Charity Foundation has supported public welfare for decades. Why does MCN even need its own charity foundation? Are they just looking for an excuse not to give?”
