My Billionaire Family 306 Hearing Jason's comments, both Dora and Crow exchanged looks of disdain.
After a brief moment, a chorus of animated voices filled the air.
Reporters near the entrance were conducting interviews. "Mr. Graves, we didn't expect you at the Global Vision Group press conference today.
"May I ask if your presence is related to the acquisition? Do you also believe that Global Vision Group has reached a dead end?" Torin stood at the front, blocking the crowd of reporters, while Nolan paid no attention to them and walked directly over to Dora. "Ms. Xenakis, do you mind if I join you?" "Not at all," Dora replied graciously, though she was uncertain about Nolan's reason for being there, given there was no collaboration between their two companies.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn the presence of so many media representatives, her behavior reflected the corporate image of GlobalVision Group.
Camellia was surprised by Nolan's arrival but, recalling the idea he had shared the previous night, speculated that he was there for the building's designer-Cherise. Camellia thought to herself, 'Cherise will soon no longer exist in this world.' As Dora and her colleagues realized the press conference was about to begin, their anxiety grew with Cherise's noticeable absence.
In the preparation room adjacent to the lobby, Crow anxiously dialed Cherise in front of Dora and Jason.
After several seconds of no response, tension grew among the trio. Jason picked up his phone to call Morris. Just as he was about to dial, Cherise's voice finally cthrough, "Hello." That cool voice immediately eased their concerns.
"Boss, why haven't you arrived yet? Is something wrong? The media are already here, and there are only two minutes left before we start!" Crow asked, his impatience clear.
On the other end of the line, Cherise replied, "There was a minor issue, but it's been resolved. I might be delayed by about five minutes; you can go ahead and start without me." In the lobby, the audience and reporters began to murmur in anticipation of the press conference. "What's happening with the leadership of Global Vision Group?" "The stock market just opened, and it's crashing; they must be scrambling to find solutions." "Still, they should provide sclarification. I've worked with them for years, and while things have gone smoothly, in light of this situation, I'm not sure whether to continue our partnership." As discussions swirled in the room, differing opinions emerged.
With about one minute left before the conference began, Dora walked up to the stage.
The moment major media outlets spotted Dora, they immediately started live broadcasts, delivering first-hand information to viewers online.
Viewers watching the live feed voiced their confusion. "Where is the real CEO of GlobalVision Group? Surely they're not too afraid to show up and have run off with the funds?" Meanwhile, a flood of netizens flooded the comment section, demanding: [Return our money! We expect a satisfactory explanation for all your shareholders.] There were, of course, unflattering remarks directed at Dora as well.
Dora, dressed in professional attire, exuded grace. Her harmonious marital life lent her an air of elegance.

As soon as she spoke, a voice from the crowd shouted, "We're not here for Ms. Xenakis to explain things; we demand answers from the real president of GlobalVision Group.
"It looks like the real president hasn't shown up today. Is this pressconference just a farce mocking the concerns of our shareholders? I doubt this conference will have any real value."
Having encountered such confrontations before, Dora maintained her composure at the microphone and responded, "I apologize, esteemed shareholders, partners, and media friends present today-please remain calm! The president will arrive shortly." "Are you deliberately stalling? Our tis valuable. What could possibly cause a delay to the scheduled press conference?" a shareholder stood up, visibly upset.
At that moment, the atmosphere grew tense, with a few shareholders considering advancing toward the stage, demanding answers from Dora.
"Everyone, I apologize for the delay." A cool, commanding female voice resonated from the back of the crowd.
