But Claudia still refused to look up at him.

Old Mr. Ferguson's sharp gaze pierced through his weary eyes.

"Hold a press conference tomorrow morning. The two of you will appear before the media together to clear up this mess."

Claudia kept her eyes downcast, offering no quick reply.

As she expected, in the eyes of the Ferguson men, infidelity was irrelevant. Only their interests mattered. To them, she was nothing more than a decoration, a convenient veil they could pull out to cover their shame whenever needed.

York glanced discreetly at Claudia beside him. "Don't worry, Grandfather. I'll handle this and put an end to the controversy as quickly as possible."

After York finished speaking, Claudia finally spoke, her tone measured. "I can cooperate with the clarification, but I have a condition."

Her words drew a sharp rebuke from Sewell. "You are a Ferguson! It is your duty to protect the family's interests!"

Claudia's voice was icy. "Dad, please enlighten me. Which part of marital law says a wife is responsible for hiding her husband's mistress and their child, let alone cleaning up his scandals?"

Sewell's face turned ashen with rage. "You are a bankrupt heiress. How dare you negotiate with us! You should take a good look at yourself and see what you're worth!"

Claudia's posture was one of absolute confidence. "Whether I have any worth in your eyes is irrelevant. If you want my cooperation in clearing up this scandal, you have to guarantee that from this day forward, no one in the Ferguson family will interfere with my work or threaten my family for any reason."

After the New Year, she was scheduled to start working at the Harvest family's private hospital. Her family and her career were her last lines of defense. She would not allow anyone to trample on them.
