Initially, he had sent someone to negotiate and invited the elderly couple to the conference room for discussions. However, they adamantly refused and stood there with their banners.

Tyler explained, "I don't know. I also don't know who's pulling the strings behind the scenes. This is clearly meant to tarnish the reputation of the James Group."

Valeria snorted. "Do we even need to think about it? It's definitely your enemies. This is the perfect opportunity to smear the James family.

Valeria looked calm. "Oh, don't misunderstand. I was just wondering, since she's your biological daughter, do you know where Nancy's body is now? Have you been to the police station to identify her? The police station seems to have called the family to come and identify the body, but no one has gone, I thought you might be too busy, but seeing you both here, it doesn't seem like you're in a hurry.
