---- Chapter 800 Barney's assistant sighed in resignation. Barney had always been obsessive about finding his sister. Over the years, he had hired every private investigator and agency in both Jayelle City and Goldmont City, yet few were truly reliable. Still, every time, Barney treated these people like honored guests. Even the slightest lead earned them a generous payment. The assistant could see through it all: most of these "leads" were repetitive, recycled just to claim credit. Barney probably knew it too. But he persisted anyway, seeking hope even where none existed.
"Hey, but this is urgent! I've already found his sister!" the detective said, rifling through his briefcase and pushing up his glasses. "I'm telling you, Mr. Lemont's sister's surname is Roswell. it's-" "Enough, enough. I'll pass it along. You can go." The assistant's patience wore thin. Barney didn't have time for visitors, and there was a mountain of work waiting. He snatched the folder from the man's hands, waved him off, and had the receptionist see him out. ---- "But... the final payment-" "Mr.

Lemont will contact you once he confirms." The detective didn't get a response; the assistant had already walked away. Shortly after, he delivered the folder to Barney's suite, placing it on the coffee table. Meanwhile, Khloe and Michelle had spent the afternoon managing the PR from her livestream. When it ended, they discussed the next phase of the bidding strategy. For now, public opinion was under control. Khloe predicted Solara Energy would hold an online truce temporarily.
If Michelle were to release Solara Energy's scandals too soon, it could backfire, making it seem like a coordinated PR stunt. The leverage against Solara Energy needed to appear more subtle and contrasting. "Can we use ads?" Michelle suddenly suggested. "Show Solara Energy's weaknesses and past mistakes, contrasting them with us in a clever, ironic way. Let us take the initiative in marketing." Her idea sparked from a recent visit to the Hunt Group, where she had noticed their new promotional videos were striking. A well-crafted creative ad could easily go viral and make a strong impression.
---- Solara Energy and the Hunt Group were already well-known online. Once the campaign launched, the public could uncover Solara Energy's flaws themselves. Even the judges would notice these legitimate competitive points. Moreover, it highlighted the intensity of the bidding. It would let the audience see that Hunt Group had skillful competitive strategies-that was impressive in itself. "Approved," Khloe said, approving the plan, After a long discussion, she suddenly realized she was starving. A glance at the clock confirmed it was already evening Just then, Lenny knocked and entered.
"Madam, Miss Keller, dinner is ready." Since the afternoon, Charlotte had been busy preparing a feast. Lenny had helped with the heavy lifting, while Noah had assisted Charlotte in the kitchen. Surprisingly, Noah's skills surpassed even Lenny's. Washing, chopping, prepping-every move was precise, almost rehearsed Even handling the pans, he was adept. Though his demeanor was cold and his words blunt at times, Noah couldn't stand seeing a girl overworked. In that way, he was surprisingly gentlemanly.
---- Michelle entered the dining room and instinctively headed straight for the table Charlotte and Noah were still bringing dishes, Lenny was arranging bowls and utensils, and Khloe was checking the kitchen to see if help was needed. Seeing everyone moving around like a small storm, Michelle felt slightly uneasy and stood up. Khloe, however, gently guided her back into her seat.
