Keira finished her sentence just as they approached the Olsen family's press conference, which seemed about to start.

She exchanged a glance with Lewis, and they both decided to stay in the car. They'd wait until Professor Brandt landed safely and the news was released before stepping out.

Keira sent a message to Uncle Olsen, advising him to delay the press conference by thirty minutes.

At the press conference...

Reporters were buzzing with anticipation. Everyone was eager to find out how the Olsen Group would handle the situation.

Tension filled the air as the crowd waited for the family to address the scandal, but what they got instead was...

Ellis slowly ascended the stage, microphone in hand. "I apologize, everyone. The traffic in Clance is terrible today. My uncle will arrive in about thirty minutes. We appreciate your patience, and the press conference will be delayed by half an hour."

Ellis, ever the charmer, had the staff distribute gifts to the reporters.

His polite demeanor and thoughtful gesture made it hard for anyone to stay upset. The reporters were familiar with the Olsen Group and begrudgingly accepted the situation. They settled down, ready to wait—until someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.

"I just saw Uncle Olsen walk in! How could he still be stuck in traffic? Ellis is obviously lying!"

Keira was monitoring the situation from the car and immediately sat up. She had been reclining her seat, planning to catch a quick nap, but after hearing that, she quickly grabbed a mask, put it on, and stepped out of the car, heading toward the press conference.
