Chapter 31

Linda flashed a warm smile as she began, "In our news department, we’re all graduates from top- notch universities and have received the best education. I'm sure there's been a misunderstanding here. Even if there's some truth to it, it definitely wasn't anyone from our team."

"As for the prime-time anchor position, I won't be competing with Chloe for it. She can have it."

Her voice was gentle and soothing, like the song of a nightingale in the woods. She deftly shifted the conversation in just a few sentences.

Vivian looked at Linda with gratitude. Not only did she preserve Vivian's dignity, but she also diverted everyone's attention by willingly giving up the prime-time anchor spot.

Chloe, however, let out a mocking laugh. "It sounds like you had the anchor position all wrapped up, and now you're just handing it over to me."

"Chloe, you've got it all wrong. That's not what I meant at all."

"Then what did you mean?"

"Alright, enough, both of you," Tony finally interjected, clearly exasperated.

"Regarding the anchor position, here's what we'll do: Our network is planning to interview a very important figure. Whoever secures an exclusive interview with him within a week will become the prime-time anchor."

"Of course, the interview must be completed within a week. So, you two better get moving."

Someone curiously asked, "Sir, who is this important figure you're talking about?"

Tony revealed, "Mr. Connor Sartori."

The room was filled with surprise. "Mr. Connor is one of the Eldridge Elites, so he must be in Eldridge City, right? Besides, Eldridge TV has never interviewed Mr. Connor. How could he possibly agree to an interview with our local station?"

Kyle from the photography department chimed in, "You call yourselves reporters, yet you don’t know this key bit of info? Mr. Connor has been living in seclusion in Riverbrook for three years. The mysterious BK Group in Riverbrook is actually a branch of Sartori Corporation. Riverbrook is about to launch a government-approved resort project, which Mr. Connor is in charge of, but so far, only the inner circles know about it."

"How did you find out if it hasn't been announced yet?" someone asked.

"I'm not too familiar with the project either, but my sister's classmate's cousin knows the Meadows family's daughter, who recently attended the 70th birthday banquet of the Sartori family old lady. All the top families of Riverbrook were invited, and that's how the news of the King of Eldridge living in Riverbrook got out."

Tony added, "That's right. Everyone is somewhat familiar with who Connor is. The Sartori family is the wealthiest in the nation, and Connor is the sole heir. So far, he has never given any media interviews."

"Since Mr. Connor has never given an interview, it shows he's extremely private. It might be difficult for our plan to be successful."

"The resort project is about to be announced to the public. This is a great opportunity, and I think it's worth a try. Of course, it's still a huge challenge. If it doesn't succeed, so be it. But if it does, Riverbrook TV Station will have achieved something even Eldridge TV hasn't."

Tony's eyes sparkled with excitement. "I have faith in both of you. Whoever succeeds will naturally deserve the prime-time anchor spot. If not, I will use other criteria for my evaluation."

After leaving the meeting room, Chloe's expression was unusually serious.

Linda approached her. "Chloe, you attended the matriarch's birthday banquet, didn't you? Why does no one inside the station know you're a daughter of the Meadows family as well?"

Chloe looked up. "Linda, why did you come to work at this TV station? Wasn't taking Lucas from me enough? Now, you want to take my job, too?"

Linda's face remained innocently puzzled. "You're misunderstanding my actions. I just think working here is best suited for my major. I never intended to take anything from you. Lucas wasn't something I took."
