A bandage covered my forehead. I wore a neatly tailored business suit and walked into the venue.
When Elsa saw me, she screamed, “Anne! How dare you show your face here? Are you here to beg Elias for forgiveness?”

At that moment, my father entered the hall, surrounded by reporters and senior executives.
Elsa immediately forced a flattering smile. “Director Karl…”
Before she could finish, my father smiled and reached out his hand—to me.
“Everyone, let me introduce my daughter, Anne Torres. She will officially take over as CEO of TorrWares Group.”
