Sure enough, not long after the Beckman family posted on social media, a reporter hurriedly brought a team over to conduct a live interview.
In front of the camera, Chandler appeared with a worn expression, his eyes filled with concern and his brows slightly furrowed. He portrayed the image of a genuinely worried and anxious father, deeply concerned for the well–being of his daughter.
Recalling the last encounter with him, a smug expression etched on his face, Francesca couldn’t help but sneer, “The Beckmans should have pursued a career in acting. Such talent wasted.”
In the video, Chandler eloquently addressed the reporter, sharing the numerous challenges he had faced while raising his child and expressing the family’s deep longing for Francesca. He even mentioned how her absence had taken a toll on her grandmother’s health and how his own business had suffered greatly as a result of his preoccupation with finding her.
In the video, Chandler said, “Francesca’s actions have brought immense grief to our family all because of a man. It’s evident that she’s not a good person. There must be a valid reason behind Mr. Zeller’s decision to divorce her.”
Francesca could not help but sneer upon reading the gradual change of public opinion in the barrage of comments on screen.
“In the past three years, the Beckman family has faced significant financial setbacks, to the point where their latest project’s funding is on the verge of collapse…” Yoel’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “Seems like the Zabielski Group lacks the clout to intimidate them into silence.”
As he spoke, the reporter’s focus shifted to Francesca and Colton’s past

marriage. Chandler’s ambiguous statements left everyone questioning the true motives behind their union.
During the interview, the journalist posed a question. “There are rumors suggesting that Ms. Shelley schemed her way into the Zeller family and that Elsa is Mr. Zeller’s true love. Can it be said that Ms. Shelley was actually the third party in their relationship?”
After the live broadcast ended, the company’s Public Relations Department called to discuss the impact of this live stream on Francesca.
The public relations manager sighed and said, “We’re aware of the negative speculations and rumors that have been circulating online.”
Francesca’s gaze grew colder, as she already knew who was behind the Beckman family’s actions this time. Elsa Larson.
It was unclear what price the other party had paid to exert such influence over the Beckman family.
Francesca said, “Someone will surely step forward to expose the truth. soon. Once we discover the details, we will promptly take action to suppress it. I will provide you with the relevant information later on-”
Before she could finish speaking, the public relations manager exclaimed in surprise as if something unexpected had happened. “Ms. Shelley, someone has exposed your relationship with Mr. Zabielski, and now they implicated the Zabielski Group in this chaos!”
Immediately after, Yoel’s phone rang, and he could hear his father’s angry voice on the other end. Yoel’s expression turned increasingly sour as he listened to the reprimand.
Not sure what his father said, but Yoel impatiently interrupted, saying, “Enough with the useless talk. If the Zabielski Group can’t handle news. like this, we might as well withdraw from the business world.”

Upon noticing how he angrily ended the phone, Francesca frowned and said, “You should go back first. I can handle the matters concerning the Beckman family.”
Yoel remained adamant and refused to leave. “The Zabielski family can survive without me. Do you really think they can’t handle a crisis like. this?”
Francesca smiled faintly. “Then you should know that handling such issues is a piece of cake for the Fashn Group.”
Yoel suddenly realized that the Francesca standing before him was no longer the weak and helpless girl she used to be. With the power of the Fashn Group in her hands, she would never allow anyone to trample over her again.
He let out a soft sigh and stood up. “All right. I’ll stay in the Zabielski Group since I’ll still need to handle Colton.”
Francesca did not give him any response.
After Yoel left, Francesca received an urgent call from the butler. The butler’s anxious voice came through. “Ms. Shelley, Lukas and Luna are missing!”
With a loud crash, the phone in Francesca’s hand shattered into pieces as it hit the ground.
