Chapter 301

Chapter 301:
If every sponsor turned on her, could she manage to buy herself some breathing room?
She didn’t have to wait for the final broadcast to clear her name. Three days. That was all she needed—just three days to get the decree and present undeniable evidence. After that, no one would be able to push her aside.
Netizens might also demand answers, so the production team would have to offer a clear solution. Still, they could respond by saying, “To ensure fairness, we need time to investigate,” and publicly guarantee a resolution before the final live broadcast—within four or five days at most.
Millie turned to Charles, her tone quietly apologetic. “You might have to take some heat for me these next few days.” She spoke with crisp determination. “You’ll probably need to step up and promise them a solid answer within four or five days—no later than the final broadcast.”
Her reasoning laid out, Charles caught on instantly, his eyes flickering with sudden energy.
“Absolutely—a strategic delay!” he declared, nodding with conviction. “Leave it to me. I’ll kick up a fuss and buy us time. With your plan, the netizens and sponsors should settle for a brief delay. I’ll lean on the Evans family name to pressure them if I have to. Once you get the decree, everything will fall into place.”
The room erupted with nods of agreement.
Alexia chimed in, her excitement bubbling over, “Exactly! There’s no need to drag this out until the finals—we only need a few days!”
“She’s cracked it!” Seville whispered to Sheridan as he stepped back in. “Honestly, her brain works fast.”
Right then, Charles’ phone buzzed again. He glanced at the screen—Napier was calling.
This time, Charles didn’t dare let it go to voicemail.

“Come back right now.” Napier’s tone brooked no argument, every word clipped and urgent. “Move it!”
Apparently, the sponsors had hit a dead end with Charles and gone straight to Napier for answers.
“I got it, Grandpa. I’ll head back right away,” Charles answered, ending the call—and snatching up his car keys.
He glanced at the group. “I’ll video call you from my other phone. Gotta deal with my grandpa first.”
Everyone murmured their understanding.
Without wasting a second, Charles rushed out the door.
For now, he could stall the sponsors—at least until Napier had smoothed things over and the Evans family’s clout could be brought to bear.
But another storm loomed overhead: the program review.
There had been incidents before—once a celebrity’s reputation came under fire, their scenes might get quietly cut, or in the worst-case scenario, the entire show could be scrapped.
The sponsors would be weighing all those risks right now.
