Chapter 266 Press Conference Counterattack
Now she was being told the meeting was canceled?
It was like having her dignity ground into the dirt.
“I need to know the reason!”
If it were because of some urgent official matter, she could forgive it and wait.
But if it was because of…
The staff member looked helpless.
“The director has an important guest, Ms. Aurora. Please leave.”
Aurora could barely contain her anger.
But she couldn’t afford to lose control now, or she might be dragged away.
That would only make things worse.
The old madam would despise her even more.
“An important guest, is it?”
“Fine. I’ll wait until the director is done with the guest.”
The staff member couldn’t refuse her, so they let her wait off to the side.
After all, Aurora cared about appearances. She wouldn’t cause a scene.
One hour passed.
Two hours.
Three hours.
Aurora’s back and legs ached from standing.
Her whole body felt miserable.
And still, no one came out.
She asked a few cleaners and finally learned the truth-

The director had left long ago.
She hurried to the back entrance and climbed over.
Just in time to see the director fawning over a woman.
She rubbed her eyes.
She looked again.
No mistake.
It was Scarlett!
Why was the director with Scarlett?
Could Scarlett be the so–called distinguished guest?
Impossible!
Scarlett had just arrived in Jandale. How could she have this much influence?
Unless…
Aurora’s face flushed red with fury.
Scarlett really was beautiful.
That was a bonus point in her favor.
By now, Scarlett was already in the car, leaving.
The director remained where he stood, watching.
Aurora thought quickly and cautiously walked up to him.
The director turned just then.
Her sudden appearance startled him.
“I’m Aurora. Director, don’t you remember me?”
The middle–aged man wore glasses, was short, and had a bit of a belly.
A trace of disdain flickered in Aurora’s eyes.
Someone like him—and Scarlett still lowered herself for him.

She truly felt inferior.
“This is my token of trust, I—”
But the director waved his hand.
:
“Ms. Aurora, my apologies. I’m busy. We’ll arrange another day.”

He immediately signaled his bodyguards, who dragged her off before she could finish a single
sentence.
She didn’t dare shout.
But the fire in her heart was blazing out of control.
She absolutely could not let Scarlett win!
Unfortunately for her, once the initiative was lost, every step she took lagged behind.
And that meant no chance at all.
Inside the car, Scarlett turned to her assistant. “Spread the word. Call a press conference this afternoon at three.
The theme: ‘Star Corp’s Strategic Partnership with the Kramer Family on New Energy Projects,’ and… an official response to the recent online rumors.”
“Yes!” The assistant perked up, finally seeing hope for a counterattack.
By three o’clock, reporters swarmed the entrance of Star Corp’s headquarters.
Scarlett stepped onto the stage in a sleek white suit, makeup immaculate, expression composed.
Amid a storm of questions, she calmly displayed evidence-
A signed statement from Samuel himself, confirming normal cooperation with Star Corp.
“Friends of the media,” Scarlett’s voice rang out, clear and strong. “The claim that I ‘drove a wedge between two families‘ is baseless. Business competition relies on wit. Their disputes long predate me. As for the accusation that I ‘seduced executives with my looks,’ I trust the truth speaks for itself. This isn’t for me to prove innocent–it’s for them to present evidence. If they cannot, then it’s slander, and I will issue legal letters. I, Scarlett, walk a straight path. Every Star Corp project is the result of legitimate, compliant negotiations.”

The reporters below, stunned by this dramatic reversal, frantically pressed their shutters.
At that moment, Scarlett’s phone buzzed. A message from Jasper. Just one line: “Well done.”
Such simple words, yet they steadied her heart like an anchor. She lifted her as she scanned the crowd and continued.

“Finally, I want to say this: business is not a palace drama. Schemes might work for a moment, but never for the long run.
Star Corp’s doors will always be open to truly capable, honest partners.
As for those who try underhanded tricks–they will pay the price for their actions.”
The press conference ended with Scarlett escorted out by her bodyguards, flashes and questions exploding behind her.
Almost at once, the tide online flipped completely.
Hashtags like #AuroraScheming# and #KramerHeirBetrayal# shot to the top of trending.
Posts slandering Scarlett were swiftly deleted, replaced by wave after wave of condemnation directed at Aurora.
