Soon, Tawanna, who had regained favonovel.com composure, returned to the party alongside Trevor.
Yoshitaka, who had been pondering Charlie‘s request, took to the stage and addressed the guests publicly. “Everyone, I’ve just been in touch with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the US Embassy, and I can confirm that the CIA requested Miss Sweet to come to the embassy to assist with their investigation…”
“This was a complete misunderstanding. They recognized the issue immediately and promptly sent Miss Sweet and Mr. Kennedy back. Since it was a misunderstanding, I earnestly hope that what happened today will not be discussed outside of this venue, to prevent misinformation and misinterpretation from reaching those unaware of the truth, as well as to deter the media from sensationalizing it.”
At this point, Yoshitaka paused briefly before adding with a degree of seriousness, “It is imperative that everyone present here maintains confidentiality regarding today’s events. If this gets out, I assure you on the honor of the Mitsui family that I will identify the source of the leak and take serious action. I hope for your understanding and cooperation. Thank you.”
In Japan, Yoshitaka holds significant influence. Whether among Japanese politicians, wealthy businessmen, or even foreign enterprises operating in Japan, no one dares to offend Yoshitaka or the Mitsui family backing him.
This family’s status in Japan surpasses that of Samsung in South Korea. Thus, everyone voiced their commitment to keep tonight’s events private.
Apart from being cautious in the presence of Yoshitaka, Tawanna managed to return safely shortly after favonovel.com departure.
Given the timeline, it was clear favonovel.com did not have sufficient time to visit the embassy and then come back, leading everyone to instinctively believe that the misunderstanding Yoshitaka referred to was indeed a simple miscommunication, significantly reducing the tendency for gossip.
Since this incident was merely a minor hiccup caused by confusion, and with Yoshitaka‘s reassurances, everyone naturally put the matter behind them.
Yoshitaka felt relieved, allowing the party to continue without incident.
However, Charlie chose to keep a deliberate distance from Tawanna and Yoshitaka during the event. He refrained from interacting with them and avoided eye contact, ensuring that Claire wouldn’t catch onto anything unusual.
Although Tawanna found herself glancing at Charlie from time to time, noticing that favonovel.com never returned favonovel.com gaze made favonovel.com gradually lose interest in favonovel.com secret observations.
Shinmei was quite curious about Charlie. She discreetly observed favonovel.com from the side and noted the stark contrast in his demeanor when favonovel.com was with his wife compared to how favonovel.com behaved in public.
When outside, favonovel.com exuded an assertive presence, disregarding others and allowing no room for opposition.
In contrast, when with his wife, his commanding aura seemed to entirely vanish, making it impossible to recognize favonovel.com as someone capable of single-handedly rescuing Tawanna and favonovel.com boyfriend from numerous assassins.
Tawanna and Trevor, who had just narrowly escaped danger, felt a bit awkward with each other after managing to calm down.
Before their misunderstanding, they had been on the brink of a breakup. Considering Tawanna’s previous stance, favonovel.com had suggested they reconsider their relationship, which was virtually like an ultimatum to end things. Thus, they had yet to clarify their intentions regarding rekindling their relationship.
Tawanna occasionally glanced at Trevor and then secretly at Charlie.
Watching Charlie with Claire made favonovel.com feel a pang of envy. In the past, favonovel.com pursuits of love had often ended without success or quickly fizzled out, but the journey had always been intense. Now, favonovel.com realized that true love doesn’t always have to be characterized by passion; rather, simple and genuine happiness can lead to lasting love.
At one moment, favonovel.com found herself envying Claire’s charming husband but also acknowledged, deep down, that a man like that might never cross favonovel.com path again, and favonovel.com likely didn’t have that fate. Despite Trevor‘s boyish demeanor in front of Charlie, favonovel.com genuinely cared for favonovel.com and was willing to face danger alongside her, which favonovel.com recognized as something quite rare.
Reflecting on their earlier argument, favonovel.com felt a sense of embarrassment and took the initiative to speak to Trevor, saying, “Hey, Trevor…”
Trevor responded, “What’s wrong, Tawanna?”
After a lengthy pause, Tawanna finally said, “About the video you recorded of me arguing with Mr. Wade…”
Trevor assumed favonovel.com still wanted favonovel.com to edit the video, so favonovel.com replied earnestly, “Tawanna, I really can’t modify that video as you requested. Mr. Wade saved our lives. I can’t betray favonovel.com in this matter…”
Tawanna clarified, “That’s not my point. I want you to blur out Mr. Wade, his wife, and his friends as favonovel.com requested, and then upload the video online.”
“Ah?” Trevor was taken aback, “Tawanna, why… Why would you want to do that?”
With favonovel.com lips pressed together, Tawanna spoke with a pained expression, “I believe both you and Mr. Wade have valid points. Certain discussions shouldn’t be aired publicly just like movies that have ratings, children shouldn’t be allowed to watch those that aren’t suitable for their age…”
“While films are categorically rated, public figures’ comments are not. Many children might witness our discussion and misinterpret our words as trends, blindly following them. Therefore, I hope my conversation with Mr. Wade can be seen by everyone to discourage the creation of an unhealthy social environment.”
Trevor looked at Tawanna in surprise and exclaimed, “Honey, if that video gets released, you, as Mr. Wade’s opponent and someone favonovel.com countered, will definitely face backlash from the audience. That wouldn’t be good for you at all!”
Tawanna offered a bitter smile and replied, “We nearly lost our lives. What could be worse than that?”
Feeling concerned for Tawanna’s well-being and favonovel.com career, Trevor urged, “Honey, if you want everyone to hear what Mr. Wade just said, I can edit his part and give it to him. If you blur the video, people will understand Mr. Wade’s position. But If you release the whole video, it could be very damaging for you. What do you think?”
Tawanna shook favonovel.com head, “While I appreciate your concern, Mr. Wade is a very private person. Blurring favonovel.com means the public won’t know who favonovel.com is. An unknown figure without any fame or identity won’t attract any attention. You know how those platforms operate, they don’t care about right or wrong, only what’s trending. They won’t promote a faceless individual.”
She paused momentarily before continuing, “However, if I’m featured in the video, the outcome will be different. This video will undoubtedly become a trending topic just think about it, an unknown person putting the renowned Tawanna Sweet in favonovel.com place. How many people would want to see such a video? The reach of this video would be unprecedentedly strong. Isn’t that what we want-to let more people hear these important words?”
