Chapter 131

Evelyn Sinclair's fan forum suddenly buzzed with activity.

Bianca White's fans, who had followed Evelyn after the film studio incident, initially came just for the drama. But this time, many were genuinely impressed by her performance.

["This reporter is absolutely badass!"]

["From today onward, I'm her die-hard fan!"]

["Not stanning anyone, but her professionalism won me over."]

The Finance Department had expected to witness her downfall. Instead, they saw a stunning comeback.

Evelyn dialed Melissa Lee's number. "Manager, I need you to approve my extended field assignment request."

The reply came through gritted teeth. "How much longer do you plan to linger there?"

"Until I complete the interview," Evelyn replied calmly. "Horizon Media does have a contract with Tonggowan Manufacturing, correct? By the way, Manager, are you aware Scarlet Archer is now in charge there?"

Of course Melissa knew.

When Tonggowan's stock hit rock bottom, Scarlet had swooped in. She acquired massive shares at bargain prices, becoming the largest shareholder overnight.

More surprisingly, Kingsley Group suddenly halted its attacks, allowing Tonggowan's stock to rebound.

During an interview, Scarlet revealed, "Despite this year's challenges, Kingsley Group has promised to invest in us."

No one understood why Kingsley first shorted the stock only to invest later. Only Nathan Carter knew Lord Alex's personal motives were behind this move.

As the interview wrapped up, Evelyn casually asked, "Scarlet, do you have any regrets now?"

A distant look crossed Scarlet's face. "My greatest regret? Probably never having children."

She gave Evelyn a bitter smile. "Youth makes us take things for granted. By the time we realize, it's too late to hold on."

Evelyn's fingers trembled slightly.

"I understand," she murmured.

Scarlet grasped her hand. "You're brilliant. If you meet the right person, don't wait too long to start a family."

"Thank you for the advice." Evelyn's smile remained flawless.

In her published article, Evelyn included a simplified finance explainer:

[Short selling means betting a stock will fall.]

[Borrow shares to sell now, repurchase later at lower prices.]

[Extremely high risk—not recommended for amateurs.]

This accessible yet insightful piece sparked another wave of discussions:

["Please do a live breakdown!"]

["You made corporate warfare read like a thriller!"]

["Who knew finance could be this exciting?"]

Melissa Lee spent the entire night fuming.

Her only consolation? Alexander Kingsley's exclusive interview still carried no byline.

But the moment this thought crossed her mind—

Alexander Kingsley himself walked into Horizon Media's headquarters.
