Chapter 404
The video call connected, revealing a stunning face on the large screen.
What caught everyone's attention first wasn't her delicate features, but those deep, ink-black eyes.
Her gaze was sharp as a blade, making the executives in the conference room hold their breaths in unison.
"Is... this a little girl?"
Someone gasped, disbelief thick in their voice.
Who would've thought the person Old Chen held in such high regard was a breathtakingly beautiful young woman?
Old Chen, now devoid of his earlier authority, beamed with unrestrained joy. He waved at the screen. "Evelyn, you finally remembered to call this old man?"
In the meditation hall, Evelyn Roland curved her lips slightly. "How have you been, Old Chen?"
Her gentle tone was a stark contrast to the sharpness from moments ago.
"Never better!" Old Chen's laughter deepened the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. "That prescription you gave me works wonders. I can climb mountains without breaking a sweat now."
He leaned closer to the camera like a mischievous grandfather showing off to his granddaughter.
The conference room fell silent.
The Roland family turned in unison, four pairs of eyes fixed on Evelyn.
Sebastian Valdemar's gaze flickered, his eyes reflecting only her.
No one had expected this seemingly aloof young woman to share such a close bond with Old Chen.
Evelyn gave a brief explanation.
Six months ago, Old Chen had suffered a sudden heart attack on the street. She happened to pass by and saved him with her extraordinary acupuncture skills, pulling him back from death's door.
Later, Old Chen tracked her down to Château Blanc, and their relationship deepened. With no children of his own, he treated her like a beloved granddaughter.
Recalling this, Old Chen's eyes shimmered with affection.
The conference room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
All eyes turned to Oliver Valrose, their gazes practically screaming, What do you have to say now?
Oliver squirmed under the scrutiny before suddenly slamming the table. "You think you can fool everyone with some random old man? Evelyn, do you take us for idiots?"
He pulled out his phone with a sneer. "Let me call the real Old Chen. Then we'll see how you explain this!"
The crowd's expressions turned odd.
Evelyn merely arched a brow, not even bothering to lift her eyelids.
