Chapter 726 The Truth Laid Bare


    The man in the baseball cap froze, his confidence wavering, “W… what?”

    Tess crossed her arms and sneered. “Did the person who sent you not bother to give you thetest information?”


    If he wanted to exploit an information gap, he still needed her consent. She had a voice of her own and would not let anyone smear her at will.


    One man was visibly flustered and hollow, the other firm and unshaken. Anyone with a bit of perception could sense that something was off.


    “Ms. Tess, you’ve never denied that you were once imprisoned. So what exactly is thistest information‘ you’re referring to?” a reporter finally asked, unable to hold back.


    Tess turned calmly, her gaze settling on the expectant crowd.


    “It’s simple. I was wrongfully imprisoned. This was already rified on a small scale in Aetheris some time ago. Anyone who truly wants to look into it will find that uncovering the truth is not difficult.”


    She inclined her head slightly, her cool voice carrying clearly through the hall.


    Taken alone, her words left the reporters hesitant and uncertain.


    “Who sent you?”


    Seizing the lull, Tess tilted her head and fixed her gaze on the man in the cap. A chill ran through him for no clear reason.


    He clenched his teeth. “No one. I just can’t stand people like you. Untalented, hical, climbing on connections.”


    “As far as I know, someone like Tristan in yourpany was just promoted to assistant manager. The moment you showed up, he was knocked right back down. With people like you around, how can anyone trust thepany or not feel resentful?”


    He ground his teeth, his stare locking onto Tristan.


    Tristan’s heart jolted. He had never imagined the man would try to drag him into this.


    His pupils shook as he stared back. “Y… you’re talking nonsense.”


    The man’s eyes were sharp and vicious, but beneath that darkness flickered something else, a signal meant for Tristan, an urgent plea for rescue.

    Chapter 726 The Trinh Laid Bare


    Tristan couldn’t believe someone could be this foolish.


    He straightened abruptly and stood. “Ms. Ember, I don’t know him, and I have no idea winy he’s trying to involve me


    At those words, the man’s pupils constricted.


    p, p, p!


    Tess showed no anger at all. She nced at Tristan, motioning for him to sit, then apuded with evident interest.


    “Tristan is one of thepany’s newly appointed core talents. I didn’t expect that even after being exposed, you’d refuse to give up and still try to sow discord between me and my employees.”


    Sheughed coldly.


    That sentence alone was enough to ease the tension in Tristan’s chest.


    Before he could fully rx, Tess turned her gaze again. “Mr. Marcellius, I’m not mistaken, am


    1?”


    She looked at him with a faint lift of her brow.


    Tristan’s heart felt as though it had been clenched by an invisible hand.


    He nodded quickly, “That’s right. Someone with intentions like his is truly malicious. Ms. Ember absolutely must not let him off lightly”


    He struggled to suppress his racing heartbeat, maintaining a facade ofposure.


    Tess smiled meaningfully and looked away,


    Leaning forward slightly, she said, “So loyal. Then let me guess who’s behind you. Who instructed you?”


    “Henry?”


    “Shannon?”


    “Max?”


    She listed the names casually, as if speaking offhand.


    Only then did Tristan finally breathe again.

    Sawas Max. Tess said with a lightugh.


    The man mapped his head up, shock written inly in his eyes.


    Not just a cap. Next time, maybe add a scarf too


    Smiling, Tess reached out, lifted the cap from his head, and tossed it onto the table.


    The gesture was undeniably arrogant, yeting from her, it was inexplicablypelling.


    With the cap gone, his face was fully exposed. It was utterly unfamiliar, the sort of face that would disappear into a crowd without drawing a second nce.


    She didn’t recognize him.


    That was only natural.


    The dight lift at the corner of Tess’s eyes carried a teasing sharpness, as though it could pierce through disguises and strike straight at the heart.


    The man feltpletely exposed under her gaze.


    His Body went stiff. Without realizing it, his legs had gone numb, unable to support him. He had swallowed earlier out of sheer nerves, and she had seized on that weakness.


    Tess looked away and raised her voice. “I’ll exin everything clearly onest time. It is true that over a year ago, I was imprisoned for leakingpany secrets and served one year. However, it has since been proven that I was framed. My word alone may not be enough, and it’s only natural for everyone to have doubts. In the near future, I’ll return to Aetheris to fully rify all controversies surrounding me.”


    “This is my responsibility to myself, and it is also my guarantee to the group’s members and our partners?


    She herned deeply.


    As her words fell, thunderous apuse erupted from the audience.


    “Ms. Ember, we believe you!”
