Carlos’s voice was like ice,
"How do you intend to explain this data? Or do you believe it’s all fabricated? I can arrange for someone to authenticate them."
The moment the journalists saw the data, they were in an uproar!
"President Palmer, is this true? Did you really promise Yuriko shares in private?"
"Mr. Palmer, do you admit this is commercial bribery?"
"Is there a power struggle within the Carter Clan?"
"Junior President Carter is your own son; why don’t you trust him, and instead conspire with outsiders to frame him?"
A cacophony of questions accompanied by flashing lights erupted, and the sound of shutters clicked incessantly.
Evan Palmer’s well-maintained face turned somewhat sinister under the intense light. He instinctively took half a step back, anxiously tugging at his tie that left a deep mark on his throat.
"This... this is a setup!"
Evan Palmer’s voice of defense was quickly drowned out by the multitude of voices.
This one-sided situation was something Evan Palmer had never anticipated.
Evan Palmer’s face grew increasingly unsightly. He clenched his fist, knuckles turning white, yet he was momentarily speechless.
At this rising tension, Adam Willow suddenly stepped forward.
He seemed to embody a sense of courage, a do-or-die spirit. He knew that today, this round was lost for him and his father.
The gaze behind his gold-rimmed glasses was unusually calm.
"No need to ask further. This matter has nothing to do with President Palmer.
I handled everything personally."
Adam Willow displayed a bitter smile,
"It was also me who privately contacted Ms. Yuriko, unrelated to President Palmer."
The venue was once again in a stir!
"Assistant Willow, why did you do this?"
The reporters’ questions surged like a tide, nearly drowning Adam Willow with flashing lights.
Evan Palmer’s pupils contracted slightly, his shoulders under the suit subtly relaxed.
He quickly adjusted his expression, displaying a heartbroken demeanor,
"Adam Willow. You have truly let me down!"
Carlos squinted as he watched Adam Willow’s straight back. This man, gentle as jade in the past, now stood like a wall blocking Evan Palmer.
"I will not answer any more questions.
I voluntarily resign from my position as medical advisor of the Carter Clan."
Adam Willow said, bowing to Evan Palmer.
As he turned around, his gaze briefly met Emily Parker’s, the eyes behind his glasses bore complex indecipherability.
The reporters immediately caught this detail!
"Doctor Willow, do you know Manager Parker?"
"What is your relationship with her?"
Adam Willow did not respond but silently walked toward the exit, his figure appeared particularly lonely under the flashlights.
Evan Palmer seized the opportunity to adjust the cuffs of his suit, reapplying a confident smile,
"Now that the truth is clear, let’s return to the main topic. Director Parker, please explain the losses of the COCO project termination."
He deliberately used a pained tone, retrieving a prepared financial report,
"Due to your failed negotiation,
Over dozens of international brands pulled out, resulting in a 3.7 billion-dollar single-day loss in stock value. According to our initial agreement..."
"The commitment still stands.
And I haven’t lost yet; the losses are only temporary."
Emily Parker suddenly interrupted Evan Palmer, standing confidently with her pregnant belly, undiminished in her imposing aura.
Evan Palmer shook his head like he had heard a joke,
"Are you saying that the COCO Group will retract the termination statement?"
He turned to the reporters, spreading his hands,
"I already tried contacting COCO Group’s headquarters, believing they’ll surely provide us an explanation."
"Everyone witness this, Director Parker intends to contact COCO headquarters, the same group I can only relay messages to through Yuriko. She’s simply dreaming."
Evan Palmer was full of ridicule.
But at that moment, a reporter suddenly exclaimed,
"Everyone look at COCO Group’s official website; a new announcement has been released."
The journalists present actually all saw the announcement, "COCO Group Officially Announces a Five-Year Strategic Partnership with the Carter Clan."
"Impossible!" Updates are released by n0velfire.net
Evan Palmer almost couldn’t believe his eyes.
He frantically refreshed the page, but saw COCO’s website concurrently updating its announcement, Yuriko’s dismissal document stamped with the group’s seal, and at the end of the partnership announcement, the CEO’s autograph was flamboyantly displayed.
The journalists erupted completely!
"Director Parker, how did you manage to contact COCO headquarters?"
"Did the Carter Clan know about Yuriko’s scheme all along?"
"President Palmer, what’s your response?"
Emily Parker turned to face the ashen-faced Evan Palmer, her lips slightly curved,
"Do you need me to introduce you? Vice President?"
As the last word fell, the electronic screens at the top of the venue suddenly lit up.
Major financial media around the world were live streaming the same news, the Carter Clan’s stock price hit the limit up.
As he staggered backward.
The journalists frantically recorded the scene!
"President Palmer, do you admit to the investment failure?"
"Are you considering resigning from your position at the Carter Clan?"
Evan Palmer’s face was ashen, his lips trembled, but he couldn’t utter a single word.
And Carlos, standing just beside Emily Parker, had a slight curve on his lips, his gaze cold as ice.
