Chapter 1132
Because of Bertram, those international critics had to swallow their words about us being “outdated” or lacking a sense of style!
All the top luxury brands wanted a piece of him, but Bertram played it cool.
He wasn’t tied to any brand, any company; he was his own man!
Living a life of seclusion, rarely making public appearances, he was almost a ghost at social events.
Yet, his reputation was legendary!
His designs didn’t have a dedicated clientele; they were up for grabs to those willing to pay the price and to those deemed destined by fate.
With every season change, Bertram would release a new item, leaving the market buzzing with speculation on who would snag his latest creation.
Incredibly, whoever landed Bertram’s new design was guaranteed a fortune!
For nearly two decades, every single one of Bertram’s designs became a hit!
From fashion to fragrances, lipsticks, and jewelry, every launch was an explosion in the market.
The world praised: Anything by Bertram was guaranteed to be a masterpiece!
And so, every design of his was highly sought after!
Insiders admired his talent.
Outsiders appreciated his character.
Even the motherland itself repeatedly sang his praises!
Not just for his talent, or for the honor he brought to the country, but for his patriotism.
Anyone daring to utter a single word against our nation, whether in his presence or not, would find themselves blacklisted by him!
Banned from collaboration for life!
Numerous developed countries had tried to lure him into taking their citizenship, all to be refused.
So, you see, calling such a titan flawed?
Not only would his fans not stand for it, but the motherland herself would take offense!
The honor and economic prosperity he brought could easily fill an exhilarating saga!
Dare to slander Bertram’s own grandson? You’re asking for a slap from mother herself!
As for Cecil, yes, he is indeed Bertram’s son, but… his situation is unique. Bertram politely shook hands with the leaders of Silver City,
“This was all because Emmett came back quietly. I had no intention of causing any stir p>
“But after landing and checking this child’s information, I found out he’s actually my grandson p>
“I had barely begun to feel joy when I saw all these slanderous rumors about my grandson online! I came to the hospital to find my grandson p>
“I can’t let them bully him! I can’t let them ruin him p>
Words, invisible yet powerful enough to destroy a person!
The leaders of Silver City looked from Bertram to Emmett, shocked.
Emmett’s case had caused quite the stir.
Involving two of the wealthiest, the leaders of Silver City were naturally concerned.
They had dealings with Tarquin in private, but never had they imagined Emmett to be Bertram’s blood grandson!
Before, they had pitied the boy for his tough life and unfortunate family background.
Now, they saw him in a new light!
With a grandfather like the famed
Bertram, and foster parents being the heirs of Hawkins Sea-freight and the nation’s wealthiest, the boy’s life was set to be on an upward trajectory!
Before the leaders could even respond, Bertram turned to the surrounding reporters, his voice stern,
“The matter between Cecil and me will be clarified in a statement later. Cecil may be at fault, and you can critize him, but you must not target my grandson p>
“Anyone daring to slander my Emmett for the sake of attracting traffic, will not let it go! I may be old, but I still have the strength to protect my grandson p>
Seeing Bertram’s fury, the leaders of Silver City quickly intervened,
“There’s no need for Bertram to take action personally. It’s our responsibility to
deal with such matters within our jurisdiction p>
The chief leader frowned, turning to his secretary,
“Find out which departments are involved. Make them handle this seriously. No one is to be spared p>
