Miles Sterling couldn’t reach Vanessa Sterling on the phone, nor could he get her to open the door.

Angrily, he kicked aside all the packages piled by the door, anxiously pressing the doorbell: "Vanessa, can you open the door?"

When Audrey Sutton and Laura Yates arrived, they saw Miles Sterling standing helplessly outside the door.

"Where’s Vanessa?"

Miles Sterling turned back to look at them somewhat dejectedly: "...She’s locked inside and hasn’t come out. I’m afraid she’ll do something foolish."

Audrey Sutton and Laura Yates both knew the door’s code and hurriedly went to open it.

As he watched Audrey Sutton and Laura Yates rush inside, Miles Sterling lifted his foot to follow but hesitated at the doorway.

He peered inside anxiously, watching as Audrey Sutton and Laura Yates went upstairs.

Seeing there wasn’t much noise coming from upstairs, it seemed Vanessa was all right, and Miles Sterling finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, Laura Yates came down alone, looking at Miles Sterling still standing by the door, and said, "Leave Vanessa to us. If you’re a man, go out and explain everything clearly."

Miles Sterling nodded: "Thank you for looking after her. I’ll go deal with that issue."

Laura Yates sighed. Although she felt all this was because of Miles Sterling, seeing his current state, she couldn’t bring herself to blame him further.

As Miles Sterling was about to walk out the door, Laura Yates reminded him, "Until you’ve sorted out your own issues, don’t disturb Vanessa again."

Miles Sterling paused and replied softly, "...Alright."

Half an hour later, the topic #SterlingFamilyCrisisReversal# topped the trending list.

Miles Sterling gave an exclusive interview with a media outlet, in which he didn’t talk much about Vanessa Sterling but explained in detail the background of his situation with Gwen Grant and her deceit in their marriage.

He also filed a lawsuit against Gwen Grant and the clinic involved in the IVF process.

When the reporter asked if his relationship with Vanessa Sterling was real, Miles Sterling simply replied, "It’s not her fault to be liked by someone. She’s innocent. If there’s anyone at fault, it’s me."

This interview shifted public attention to Gwen Grant.

Everyone came to understand what kind of person Gwen was, and many who had insulted Vanessa Sterling began to apologize under her X posts.

However, such a clarification by Miles Sterling was undeniably a scandal for the Sterling family and affected the company to some extent.

But Miles Sterling had discussed this with Quentin Sterling beforehand, and Quentin’s response was: "Go ahead and do it. I’ll handle the company’s issues."

Gwen Grant didn’t expect Miles Sterling to be so harsh. She lay on the hospital bed after a miscarriage, and Miles Sterling never came to see her even once.

Instead, what arrived was a court summons.

Having lost the child, even Wendy Jennings didn’t care much about Gwen’s well-being.

After learning about the miscarriage, Wendy Jennings went home and never returned to the hospital.

Miles Sterling was determined not to let Gwen Grant off, and the Grant Family sought leniency, hoping Miles would withdraw the lawsuit.

Meanwhile, Wendy Jennings, heartbroken over losing her precious grandson, also fell ill and was no longer concerned about how Miles Sterling handled Gwen Grant’s issue.

After the incident settled, Vanessa Sterling, although no longer at the center of public opinion, couldn’t shake the shadow it cast over her heart.

She moved out of Rivia, carrying her easel with her to a new coastal city all on her own.
