Of course, it didn’t take long for public opinion to switch sides.
“What the hell? I actually believed everything that woman said! I really thought she was being bullied by corporate!”
“Oh, no, have I become one of those deplorable keyboard warriors? I went off on Lydia Phillips yesterday and even called her brainless on Twitter… Oh, God, I’m so ashamed of myself!”
“I heard from an insider that Mr. Phillips actually botched a project, so Miss Phillips had to step in and salvage the situation. I’m sure she wasn’t expecting to get this kind of treatment after all that she did!”
“Miss Phillips, you are awesome! Amazing! Wonderful!”
“Let’s see who else dares to speak ill of our amazing young miss!”

Hannah couldn’t help but quirk her brow at the comments defending Lydia.
She put the phone back to her ear and spoke with a smile in her voice.
“See? Fortunately, we’ve made enough preparations beforehand.
It all worked out perfectly.”
“Yes, yes! Thank you for advising me to install more surveillance cameras in the office. Otherwise, they would have gotten away with dragging my name through the mud.”
Lydia was having a great start to her day. When she left for work earlier, Henry was getting blasted by Jaylin. She continued, “Even better news, the stock price of our shares has risen a lot in just a couple of hours! Things are really looking up!”
But then her voice grew quiet and a little sullen when she added, “The Shaw family has disseminated the invitation for tomorrow’s engagement party. People have been dropping by and calling to congratulate my father.”
Sensing her friend’s apprehension, Hannah said, “Don’t worry. I’ll be with you. No matter what happens, I’ll help you out.”
“I am somewhat reassured, knowing that you will be there,” Lydia said.
“What I’m worried about is that people who should be there might not show up. In which case, the show we prepared is going to get ruined before it even begins.”

Hannah rolled over and chuckled, “Well, I’m not sure whether Declan is coming or not, but Eliana will definitely be there. She is currently pregnant with Alick’s child. Do you really think she’s going to pass this opportunity up?”
Over at her office, Lydia leaned back in her chair and restlessly tapped her fingers on her desk.
“Not necessarily. The other day, the Shaw family invited me over to discuss the engagement. I used the bathroom while I was there. On my way back to the living room, I overheard them talking about settling a matter with money. My instincts told me that it had something to do with Eliana.”
“Oh, she will definitely be there,” Hannah said with certainty.
No one could bribe Eliana to stay away, not even the Shaw family. If they could, then that would mean Eliana was weak, which was definitely not the case.
Besides, the Shaw family was a much better catch compared to the Edwards family. Eliana would be a fool to let her chance slip through her fingers.
Just then, a knock came at the door of Lydia’s office.
“Excuse me, Miss Phillips. Sir Henry and Sir Jaylin are waiting for you in the conference room.”
