Chapter 355
“She is Caitlin! The ex–wife of Sebastian, the new Global CEO of KM International Group!”
A sharp–eyed reporter in the audience recognized Caitlin as the ex–wife of the famous Sebastian and quickly confirmed it with photos from the news. The mention of Caitlin’s identity immediately caused a stir, with Sebastian’s title also being hotly discussed.
While Caitlin’s background was not widely known, nearly everyone knew of KM International Group, US’s VEG, and Sebastian, the head of The

What was even more shocking was that the infamous Sebastian stood right beside her, quietly playing the role of her protector, shielding her from all harm.
Douglas and Carmen, the siblings from The Yuncey Family, stood frozen, stunned by the revelation. After a moment, Douglas spoke up, his voice betraying his surprise. “The Yuncey Family in Departure City has never had any dealings with The Vanderbilt Family, Caitlin, why are you here trying to sabotage our event?”
“You think I’m sabotaging?” Caitlin let out a sharp laugh. “I’m just setting things right–revealing the truth! Who gave you the right to use Yun’s Fragrance & Dye Studio’s name to deceive the public with fake Fragrance Garments?”
Carmen’s face turned red with fury. “No matter what The Yuncey Family does, it’s not up to an outsider like you to criticize us!”
“Outsider?” Caitlin’s cold gaze swept over the crowd, her posture exuding quiet confidence. She announced firmly, “My grandmother is the true heir of Yun’s Fragrance & Dye Studio–Eleanor!”
The crowd gasped. “She’s Eleanor’s granddaughter?”
“Eleanor is the true heir of Yun’s Fragrance & Dye Studio!”
“It’s said that she disappeared over sixty years ago, and her whereabouts are still unknown. I can’t believe Caitlin is her granddaughter!*
“She must have inherited Eleanor’s true craft! No wonder she knows so much about The Yuncey Family’s Fragrance Garments!”
With the mention of Eleanor’s name, the room erupted into whispers and excitement. Caitlin’s statement had completely turned the event into a press conference for exposing the truth.
Douglas and Carmen were left speechless, struggling to process the revelation. After a pause, Carmen shot Caitlin a scornful look. “Impossible! How can you be Eleanor’s granddaughter? What proof do you have? You’re just spouting nonsense, who could believe you?”
Anticipating their denial, Caitlin calmly raised a jade pendant. “Everyone, take a look at this jade pendant. It’s the Yuncey Family’s heirloom pendant, and only the true heirs of The Yuncey Family can possess it. My grandmother passed it to my mother, and my mother passed it to me. This is the best proof I can offer!”
The crowd leaned in to get a closer look at the jade pendant Caitlin held. Upon closer inspection, the pendant featured a large cloud pattern with the words “Yun’s Fragrance & Dye Studio* etched around it.
Anyone familiar with The Yuncey Family’s history would recognize this pendant from the *Departure City Chronicles, where it was famously mentioned as an important heirloom.
After presenting the evidence, Caitlin addressed the stunned siblings. “If you still doubt the authenticity of this p professional antique appraiser to authenticate it here.”

Someone in the audience called out, “We have an antique appraiser here today–Mr. Tucker is here!”
The Yuncey Family had invited several prominent figures to the event, and Mr. Tucker was one of them.

“Alright! Let’s have Mr. Tucker authenticate the pendant right here, Caitlin said.

It was Caitlin’s moment to strike back.

market manipulation.”
At this point, Carmen’stepped forward to protect her brother, since he was the CEO of The Yuncey Family. She needed to salvage the situation. “This was my idea! I just wanted to revive the fading Yun’s Fragrance & Dye Studio, but as you know, Fragrance Garments aren’t easy to create.”
Carmen took full responsibility, but instead of showing remorse, she spoke with an air of righteousness.
“Lying and misleading the public! Is this how the Chief Operating Officer of The Yuncey Family behaves? You’re not trying to revive Yun’s Fragrance & Dye Studio; you’re exploiting the situation to generate publicity and profits!” Caitlin’s words were sharp and direct, exposing the truth without hesitation. She added, “Now, you should be apologizing to the public on behalf of The Yuncey Family!”
Caitlin’s words rang with truth and authority, and the crowd could feel her strength. She was acting in the rightful manner of a descendant of Yun’s Fragrance & Dye Studio, and every word she spoke resonated with justice.
The press conference had turned into a public spectacle, and the guests were now more interested in the drama unfolding than the original launch. Journalists enjoyed the clash, knowing that this story would be far more interesting than a mere product reveal.
Carmen and Douglas exchanged glances, both now cornered by Caitlin’s relentless questioning. If they didn’t publicly apologize, it would only make matters worse.
At this point, there was no turning back. Carmen gritted her teeth, her resentment clear, and reluctantly stepped forward. She gave a deep bow.
“I’m sorry!”
She straightened up, her eyes filled with tears, and spoke to the audience, “I deeply regret my actions today. I failed to anticipate the consequences, and I made a grave mistake. My actions have negatively impacted The Yuncey Family, and I offer my sincere apology to the public and society.”
She bowed once more, and reporters eagerly snapped photos.
The apologies were made, and the press conference concluded.
Douglas, taking the last word, addressed the room. “I sincerely apologize. As the CEO of The Yuncey Family, I take full responsibility for today’s failure.”
With that, the main figures of The Yuncey Family had apologized, and the event came to an abrupt end.
As the guests and journalists filed out, only The Yuncey Family members and Caitlin’s group remained in the room.

Douglas approached Caitlin and said, “Since you are Eleanor’s granddaughter, we are family. If my grandfather knew you were back he would be delighted. Why don’t you come with me to The Yuncey Family and pay your respects?”
