Renee composed herself and took a moment to think. Then, she leaned closer to the female officer, the only person she felt she could trust."Could you please...""Alright, I will," the officer nodded.After explaining everything, Renee finally felt at ease.To avoid putting the officer in a difficult position, she took a deep breath and said, "I've said all I need to say. I won't let you get in trouble for me. Handle this however you need to."Not wanting the kind officer to face trouble with Carl because of her, Renee obediently raised her cuffed hands.The officer hesitated, then chuckled. "Actually..."She started to speak but trailed off, leaving her sentence unfinished.Then, meaningfully, she said, "Don't you think staying here might actually be the safest option for you?""Safe?" Renee didn't quite understand but nodded anyway. "Thank you."The officer seemed to want to say more but shook her head and said nothing. She unlocked Renee's handcuffs and left the room.Som

Carl said nothing, glancing behind Renee. His expression became exceptionally cold, like a glacier in severe winter, forbidding approach.Renee inwardly scoffed. Typical Carl.At that moment, an authoritative, sharp voice sounded from behind."Renee Lacey, why are you standing there like an idiot? Everyone's waiting for you."It was Michael.Renee turned to see Susanne and Patrick standing behind him.Normally, these two wouldn't have the status to stand in such a central position. Who would have thought their time had come?Clearly, Michael was worried Renee might back out of going on stage."Renee..." Patrick's face was grave as he moved to protect her.Renee immediately shook her head at him. "Patrick, just stay with my mom."Under Michael's warning gaze, Renee took the stage.Calvin, wrapped in bandages, was in the audience looking smug.The reporters were eager to pounce. Before Renee could even speak, someone was already trying to pin the blame on her."Ms. Lacey, we

Renee's calmness caught everyone by surprise.This person, once the most marginalized in the Grey family, was no longer timid or speaking with a lowered head.She stood on the stage, standing for herself.Her gaze was clear and determined, sweeping over Carl's cold and dangerous face without any trace of retreat.As the situation turned, all cameras focused on Reporter Riley and Annie.Riley, feeling uncertain, instinctively looked towards Annie.Annie frowned slightly, giving him a meaningful look.Riley loudly rebutted, "Ms. Lacey, you can't slander Ms. Simmons and me just because I asked you a few questions!"Annie, with reddened eyes, said, "Renee, I know you're angry that the school secured a competition spot for me. I just wanted an apology. I've already agreed to settle with the police. If you insist on this, I'll withdraw. I just ask that you stop making trouble. This is putting the Grey family and Carl in a difficult position."Using retreat as a strategy was Annie's most comm

"Mr. Michael Grey.""He was the one who firmly believed in my innocence and arranged this press conference for me.""Although I'm not related to the Grey family by blood, they... treat me like their own and would never harm me.""Thank you, thank you very much."Renee bowed deeply to Mr. Grey.No matter how angry Mr. Grey was, he could only smile and nod at the crowd, rendered speechless.But this move quickly defused the Grey family's public relations crisis.The press conference ended.Renee quickly caught up with the female officer, saying gratefully, "Thank you. If you hadn't found evidence against Calvin Henderson, I would have..."The officer asked her colleagues to take the others to the car first, then looked at Renee with difficulty."It wasn't me. It was Carl Grey's doing. Those girls were all found by Mr. Grey's people in just one night. Before, when we approached them, no one dared to get involved with the Henderson family.""What did you say?" Renee was so shock

When Renee regained consciousness, she found herself in the hospital.Her eyes fluttered open, but her mind was still foggy. She heard voices conversing by her bed."How is she?"A deep, familiar voice with a hint of danger."Mr. Grey, she's fine now. I stake my career on it - Ms. Lacey's hand will fully recover."Hand?Hearing this word, Renee slowly awakened, her half-open eyes focusing on the name tag of a white-coated figure by her bed."Head of Neurology, Dr. Francis Miller"A familiar name.She remembered.In her past life, when Annie cut her hand while cooking, Carl had anxiously called in the best neurologist to examine her.That same day, Renee had gotten an opportunity to redesign jewelry for a major brand, but her hand's nerves were severed by a fleeing robber.She had begged the hospital to find the best neurologist, only to be told the doctor had been taken by Carl to treat Annie's minor cut.She had called Carl, pleading desperately, but he had said, "Can't you stop overr
