Confronted by his father’s stern words, Zayne’s expression twisted with pain as he responded, “Dad, isn’t that how feelings work? There’s always one person who invests more in the rtionship than the other. Deana has been by my side for all these years, living with me in a genuine way. In contrast, I feel like I’ve let her down.”


    Lord Banks waved his hand, his impatience evident. “I don’t want to discuss Deana. Right now, we need to focus on the bigger issues at hand! When those children were in love, that was one thing; now we must figure out how to tackle our uing troubles!”


    “Yes, big brother!” James, the second child, interjected with a downcast expression. “We’re really stirring up a ho’s nest. The sentiment surrounding the Banks Family is intense, and people at home view us as ruthless and unprincipled. The inte is flooded with negativements about us. Once the stock market opens tomorrow, our listedpanies’ stock prices are bound to drop, leading to unimaginable losses!”


    Matthew, the third child, chimed in, “Moreover, even our own people might be affected by Xion’s situation. If the children have caught wind of this, they’ll likely start to worry.”


    Lord Banks replied, his face darkening, “Make sure to rify things with your children! The reason I chose to coborate with the Japanese Self-Defense Force regarding Xion is that she is not a legitimate member of our family—she’s an unacknowledged illegitimate daughter. As she is bound to face consequences, I urge you not to overthink this! Do not discuss this matter within the family, or you’ll find yourselves sent to South America for three years!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Everyone was taken aback by his words. It was clear that Lord Banks found the situation deeply embarrassing. As the one pulling the strings behind the scenes, any exposure of this incident would tarnish his reputation. Consequently, a heavy silence fell over the room; nobody spoke or even nodded in agreement. Such was the shrewdness of the Banks Family sons.


    They were all aware that their father valued his dignity and reputation immensely. If he perceived this incident as a scandal and wished for it to be forgotten, they understood that the best course of action was to remain silent, treating the matter as if it were nonexistent.


    Noticing the silence, Lord Banks appeared somewhat relieved and dered, “I have a few ns in mind, and you all need to listen to me!”


    Everyone stepped forward, showing respect as they said, “Dad, please go ahead!”


    Mr. Banks continued coldly, “First, we need to reach out to all the media contacts we have and offer them a substantial sum to retract their reports!”


    “Second, we must contact all social media tforms and apps to have them remove any mention of the Banks Family from trending lists and eliminate any negative content rted to the situation!”


    “Third, we should deploy a team to counter the rumors, asserting that this situation is the work ofpetitors and that Xion is in no way connected to the Banks Family! Anyone spreading falsehoods across the inte and other media channels will face legal repercussions!”


    Everyone nodded in agreement.


    Mr. Banks sighed, stating, “Given our current predicament, the Banks Family can only focus on crisis management.”


    “If we handle this public rtions crisis skillfully, we may still be able to turn the tide.”


    “However, it’s important to note that while we might manage to reverse the situation, the prevailing public sentiment in Japan is against the Banks Family. No matter how we attempt to cleanse our image, we won’t regain favor in Japan. Moving forward, earning money from Japan will be nearly impossible, and we will definitely face repercussions.”<fnb764> ?????? ???? Find?Novel</fnb764>
