"Yes!" Christina nodded firmly, her face lighting up with a bright smile.
No one could bully her anymore.
Those words carried so much confidence and power. She felt overjoyed. The thought of it made her cheeks turn red. There was a hint of shyness in her expression.
Hayden's arrival brought Christina so much comfort. Her worries disappeared, and her expression became calm again.
When she looked at Hayden's back, it felt like everything she had been through before didn't matter anymore.
"So, you finally showed up!" Lily's face was twisted with anger as she glared at Hayden.
The Sterling family had already investigated the company and discovered that Hayden was its founder.
To Lily, this only fueled her hatred. Hayden was just a nobody, yet he had the nerve to leave the Sterling family and achieve this level of success.
He even caught the attention of the Public Affairs Department. All of this should have belonged to the Sterlings.
"Of course, I showed up. If I didn't, who knows what kind of trouble you'd stir up," Hayden said casually, looking at Lily without a hint of respect.
In his eyes, Lily was just someone who pretended to be important online. In fact, he thought she was incredibly foolish. Otherwise, how could she have ended up imprisoned and tortured to death by someone like Morgan?
At that moment, their exchange made the people around them pause. They realized Hayden and Lily seemed to know each other. If Lily knew him, then perhaps he wasn't just some random person.
With that thought, many of them started feeling uncomfortable. If they offended him, it could cause them trouble.
"Hey, brat, who do you think you are? What are you doing here?" someone asked harshly.
"I'm the chairman of this company. In simple terms, this project is mine. Now that you lot are causing trouble here, of course, I'm going to come out and handle it. Let me ask again. Does anyone still have issues with the script? Step forward if you do!"
Hayden lifted his head slightly, his expression full of confidence. His cold eyes swept across everyone in the room yet again.
For a moment, the crowd froze. They could feel it in his gaze. This guy was nothing like Christina.
In fact, he gave them a sense of fear. It was something they hadn't felt from anyone else before.
After Hayden spoke, silence filled the room. No one dared to respond. Even Lily started to hesitate. She stared at Hayden with a complicated expression.
