Evelyn opened the Twitter link.

Ethan Young had posted a covertly recorded video.

In the footage, Isabella Ashcroft and Liam Lowell were whispering in a corner.

Liam was visibly agitated.

Isabella spoke in a low, soothing voice. "Don't panic. The police won't find any evidence."

The camera slowly zoomed in.

Isabella suddenly became alert. "Who's filming this?"

Ethan's voice remained calm. "I'm a reporter."

Isabella's tone turned icy. "Name your price. Delete the video."

Liam threatened menacingly. "You're not leaving until it's deleted!"

The video ended abruptly.

Ethan accused Isabella of stealing credit on Twitter.

He asked Evelyn for help reposting.

Evelyn immediately hit the repost button.

Her account instantly ignited public opinion.

Fans began condemning Isabella.

Evelyn put her phone away.

Her breakfast was getting cold.

A pair of chopsticks placed a piece of dim sum on her plate.

Alexander Vance's eyes held a hint of amusement.

Evelyn's ears felt warm.

She lowered her head and bit through the thin skin.

The rich flavor of crab roe burst on her tongue.

At the other end of the table, tension was thick.

The eldest branch of the family was still pressuring Eleanor Vance.

The elderly woman slammed the table angrily. "So what if I'm playing favorites?"

She stood up, trembling.

"Robert Vance, you only have eyes for the eldest branch!"

"Where were you when Alexander was critically ill as a child?"

"Now you want to talk about fairness?"

Robert frowned. "Mother, let's not bring up the past."

"Isabella can improve the Group's image."

Eleanor scoffed. "You want fairness? Fine!"

"First, give your granddaughter-in-law the shares she's owed!"

Richard Evans suddenly interjected. "Father, Grandmother is right."

He shot a discreet glance.

Robert's expression cleared with understanding. "Alright!"

"I'll give Alexander's wife two percent."

"But you must give Isabella five percent, Mother."

Eleanor froze instantly.

This would upset the balance of shares.

The eldest branch would gain control of the Vance Group.

She was trapped.

Robert turned to Alexander. "What do you think?"
