Chapter 173 No Plans to Break Off the Engagement At the entrance of the conference hall, two werewolf warriors dressed in black helped the staggering Richard as he slowly made his way inside.
"Grandpa," Caden said, quickly striding toward the door.
I stood up as well and walked to the entrance, joining Caden to support Richard.
"Grandpa, are you okay?" I asked softly.
Richard looked slightly tired but forced a smile. "I'm fine." We helped Richard to the center of the stage.

Richard let out a cold snort. "Of course, you don't wantto come." "How could that be?" Donny said insincerely, forcing a smile. "It's wonderful news that you're fine." "Donny, in order to seize control of Eclipse Group, you poisonedwith a drug laced with wolfsbane, makingtoo weak to resist. Then, you spread rumors that I was seriously ill and lockedup. Too bad your plan didn't work out the way you hoped!" Richard's cold, intense gaze fixed on Donny, his words firm and resolute. "I didn't do that." Donny took a step back, sweat running down his forehead.
"You know whether it's true or not," Richard said, stepping up to the stage and clearing his throat. "I announce that today's press conference is canceled. Caden will remain the Executive CEO of Eclipse Group. Effective immediately, Donny is removed from his position as Vice President and will no longer hold any role within the company. That's all." Hearing this, Donny collapsed to the floor. The werewolf warriors restrained him and dragged him out.
I was very impressed. Even though Donny committed such terrible acts, Richard didn't go so far as to destroy him completely, but only expelled him from Eclipse Group.
I felt sorry for Donny's misfortune but angry at his actions.
The press conference ended abruptly, with reporters quickly surrounding Richard, eager to ask questions.
"Mr. Richard, could you clarify what you meant when you said Donny locked you up?" "As your adopted son, why did Donny do this to you?" "Mr. Richard, does this mean you've severed your father-son relationship with Donny?" Questions kept coming at Richard one after another. Caden frowned, Yale immediately understood and stepped forward. "Apologies, everyone, but Mr. Richard will not accept interviews today." Caden and I helped Richard out of the conference hall.
As soon as we stepped outside, a tall, urgent figure hurried toward me.
1/2 08:46 Mon, 17 Mar Chapter 173 No Plans to Break Off the Engagement It was Jasper.
"Rosaline, I'm so glad you're okay!" His eyes gleamed with a strange light as he hurried toward me.
I was taken aback for a moment before asking, “What are you doing here?" Finished Jasper walked straight up toand took my hand. "Rosaline, you've been missing for so many days. Do you know how worried I've been? I've been searching for you the whole time. When I saw you were fine at the press conference, I rushed over immediately. I'm so relieved you're safe." With so many people around, Jasper's genuine concern madefeel a bit awkward.
I calmly pulled my hand away and smiled faintly. "I'm fine, you don't need to worry.
"Rosaline-" Jasper seemed like he wanted to say more, but he was cut off by a cold, sharp voice.

Caden, with a dark expression, said, "Jasper, do you have that much free time? This isn't your business. Go back to Starplay Entertainment." Jasper's expression darkened. "Starplay Entertainment isn't mine, it belongs to—" I felt a tightness in my chest. What was Jasper up to? Was he going to exposein front of everyone? I quickly interrupted him. "Jasper, you still haven't giventhe signed photo my friend asked for last time." Jasper looked atintently. "You can cwithto Starplay Entertainment to get it." I nodded and then turned to Caden. "You take Mr. Richard back to rest. I need to talk to Jasper for a moment." Caden's gaze was fixed on me, his face dark with anger.
I knew I couldn't explain everything in just a few words, so I didn't paym sol didn't attention to Gaden and instead grabbed Jasper's hand and walked away. There were things I needed to clear up with Jasper.
Under Caden's cold stare, I pulled Jasper out of Eclipse Group.
"Rosaline, haven't you broken off your engagement with Cader yet? Jasper asked impatiently once we were outside. I looked at him and shook my head. "I don't plan to break off the engagement." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
