“ire, it’s almost time! Let’s head in first,” he urged.


    “Okay.” ire didn’t say anything else and followed Charlie Wade and Yohana toward the entrance of the press conference.


    As they approached the entrance, Charlie Wade pulled a mask from his pocket and handed one to ire, saying, “Wife, let’s put on these masks. We’re not real reporters, so let’s not risk being recognized.”


    This press conference marked the first coboration between the An family and the Wade family in two decades, so the public’s interest was already quite high. Charlie Wade, who bore a striking resemnce to his father, intended to wear a mask to avoid being identified by anyone watching closely.


    Although ire was unaware of Charlie Wade’s true intentions, she agreed with his reasoning. Aurous Hill was a small ce, and it was possible they might encounter acquaintances. If someone recognized them sneaking into the press conference, it could lead to an awkward situation. Wearing a mask would help prevent that.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    So, the couple donned their masks and entered the venue.


    The press conference was already bustling with reporters and photographers. Yohana guided the couple to the seating area designated for Aurous Hill Morning News, where the three of them settled side by side.<fn3277> Th?s chapter is updated by F?nd-Novel</fn3277>


    Yohana leaned in and whispered to ire, “Today’s press conference is a significant event, and several foreign media outlets have also arrived.”


    ire nodded in agreement, saying, “Both families involved in this press conference are very influential. The media must be eager to learn about the projects they’ll be coborating on.” Yohana waved his hand dismissively.


    “Actually, it’s much moreplicated than that. I’ve looked into the history between these two families. They were once rted, you know?”


    “I know,” ire replied. “I’ve read some gossip articles suggesting they were once connected, but then something went wrong. It seems the An family used the Wade family of causing their daughter’s death.”


    “Exactly,” Yohana confirmed. “Twenty years ago, the Wade family’s second son and the An family’s eldest daughter were both killed, and their children went missing. Many believe that their son was also murdered, but his body was never found. There are whispers that the killer had ties to the Rothschild family, but ultimately it was the Wade family’s negligence that led to this tragedy.”


    “I think I’ve heard of this incident,” ire said. “But the rumors are so strange that I didn’t know who to trust, so I didn’t give them much thought.”


    Curious, ire asked, “Did their children also meet with misfortune?”


    “It’s said that they did,” Yohana replied. “Think about it: if they could kill the couple, wouldn’t they also eliminate a small boy? In TV shows, the younger the child, the more likely he is to seek revengeter. Given their ruthlessness, they wouldn’t leave any loose ends.”


    ire nodded thoughtfully. “That does sound usible.”


    Yohana leaned in closer, speaking in a conspiratorial tone, “Do you know why these two families—one from New York and the other from Yanjing—have chosen to reunite and initiate a new project? Why hold the press conference in Aurous Hill?”


    “I’m not sure,” ire said, shaking her head. “Perhaps they believe Aurous Hill has potential for development, so they decided to invest here together?”


    “Not quite,” Yohana replied, smirking. “Aurous Hill’s GDP isn’t even ranked in our province.”
