When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 655: Mobilizing the Masses

"Faye." As soon as Eliza Hayes entered the room, she compassionately took her daughter-in-law’s hand, "Are you okay?"

Faye Turner could also sense that her mother-in-law was even more worried.

So, the two women sat down on the sofa and started chatting.

They comforted and encouraged each other, and then discussed the best way to resolve the situation.

Finally, Faye picked up her phone and made a call to the old man...

Four hours after the news broke, at 11 a.m., the old man, dressed formally and leaning on a cane, walked out of the living room with an authoritative presence.

In the yard, his attendant opened the car door, helped him into the vehicle, and a convoy drove off mightily.

"Are the reporters notified?" In the car, the old man asked with quiet authority.

"Yes, Elder Sir, they have been notified; fifteen authoritative media outlets, all are official, and they didn’t send junior reporters, but rather responsible ones with experience."

The old man nodded and asked, "What about the paternity test center?"

"They’ve been notified, and the testing equipment has been moved to the club; three authoritative institutions will conduct the test simultaneously."

"Have the surveillance cameras been installed?" the old man asked, "How’s the image quality? Every detail needs to be captured clearly for public release. We can’t give the outsiders any reason to talk."

"Rest assured, everything has been set according to your requirements, five cameras installed."

The old man nodded, "Hmm." Then, he closed his eyes to rest, "Call Adrian Lancaster, tell him to put aside his work and come to the designated place to meet me."

"Yes."

The attendant pulled out a phone, dialed Adrian Lancaster’s private number, and soon it was connected.

He said, "President Lancaster, please find time to come to The Elysian Club. The old man is on his way there, he’s scheduled a press conference with the reporters."

Adrian Lancaster did not refuse nor did he inquire further details.

Since his grandfather was on the way and had arranged for reporters, he must attend no matter what.

Thus, he halted an ongoing meeting, gave a few instructions to Dustin Shepherd, and then got up and left.

Outside the company hall, there were still some reporters crowding for news.

To save time, Adrian Lancaster didn’t want to tangle with the reporters. He called Mr. Kerr and exited through the company’s back door.

At the club, there were many reporters, but the press conference was very formal, not the kind without any rules.

Everyone was well-mannered.

When the car stopped, the old man got out, followed by a few assistants, and they all walked in.

The reporters only greeted him at the entrance. Their tone was filled with respect.

Soon, a Lamborghini also parked at the club.

Adrian Lancaster, in a black suit, got out of the car. His handsome brows carried a cool expression, thinking that such matters didn’t require clarification to the outside world.

He knew his grandfather cared for him, felt for him, so he could only cooperate.

"Hello, President Lancaster."

"President Lancaster."

As he entered, everyone respectfully greeted him; the atmosphere remained quite solemn.

Adrian Lancaster walked straight to his grandfather, "Grandfather."

The old man patted him on the shoulder, looked up at the surveillance cameras on the ceiling, then addressed everyone—

"Here we have full surveillance. At the time of release, every action will be clearly recorded for everyone to see."

"Everyone has seen today’s trending topics. The point of concern for outsiders is whether Adrian is indeed of Lancaster blood."

"As his grandfather, I am very sure he is, but we need evidence to convince everyone. That’s why I’ve invited you all, to bear witness together."

"If I were to bribe the media, it’s impossible to buy off so many authoritative outlets. You can discuss privately." The old man spoke lightly.

He continued, "If there are issues with the paternity test, it wouldn’t be possible for three institutions to conduct it simultaneously, right in front of everyone, under camera surveillance, without a chance for foul play."

Adrian Lancaster felt deeply moved by the extensive efforts because his grandfather didn’t want him to be wronged.
