Chapter: 1166

After mentally preparing herself, she pressed play.

The sounds of men and women filled the air. As the scene shifted, Madeline, Nancy, and Joanna appeared on screen.

While passing by a group of young men, Madeline lost her footing and fell down the stairs.

The video clearly showed Joanna helping Nancy maintain her balance without touching Madeline.

“I tracked down everyone in the surveillance footage from that night. Someone recorded the entire incident."

Bryson didn't reveal the extensive effort he had invested in finding them. His sole desire was to see his sister smile again.

Joanna covered her mouth with one hand, her eyes sparkling with excitement. Her memories of that night had been blurry. After seeing the video clip, she was now full of courage.

“Thank you, Bryson."

She realized she had done nothing wrong. The Carters had unfairly blamed her.

Bryson gently ruffled her hair. "Silly girl, we're family. Don't mention it. If the Carters bother you again, just show them the video."

"No problem."

Joanna watched the video happily but soon became somber again. "I wish Norah could know this."

If Norah hadn't been preoccupied with her and Susanna that day, perhaps she wouldn't have had the accident.

Only those who knew Norah were concerned about her disappearance.

Others remained indifferent.

However, something astonishing had recently occurred in Glophia.

The reclusive Wilson family announced plans to hold a press conference in Glophia to assert their social standing.

The press conference was scheduled for the end of the month. All the influential families in Glophia received invitations. At the event, the Wilson family would present their members and introduce their patriarch.

These were the only details provided on the invites, leaving attendance at the discretion of each guest.

Most influential families familiar with the Wilson family's history planned to attend. The invitation was an olive branch; accepting it signified an alliance with the Wilsons while declining it could invite future retaliation.

The prominent families who had received the Wilsons' invitation decided to attend the press conference, eager to learn more about the Wilsons.

The Scott family was also invited.

Matteo examined the invitation card, pondering. “There's no need to upset the Wilson family. Sean isn't here. We might as well attend.”

Years earlier, he had taken his son to the funeral of the Wilson family's patriarch.
