The young female reporter arrived with a cameraman in tow. She asked, “Hello, are you Ms. Milly Burnett? I’m Trix Conner from the Avalon Network.”

Milly smiled and said, “Yes, that’s me. Please, come in.”

Her extraordinary demeanor and striking beauty made Trix momentarily flustered, a stark contrast to the cramped, cluttered room behind her.

Trix knew her boundaries and simply nodded in acknowledgement. “Thank you.”

Viola had prepared for the interview. She quickly cleaned the living room and set out tea and fruit. Not wanting to intrude, she retreated to Rita’s room.

Trix took a seat, pulled out a prepared script, and started, “Ms. Burnett, these are the questions we’ll be covering. Please review them. If there are no issues, we’ll start the interview.

“Don’t worry too much; this is a recorded interview. If anything needs to be corrected or adjusted, we can handle it in post–production.”

Milly glanced over the questions, finding them quite ordinary and manageable.

Except for the last one. Interview her parents.

Milly frowned slightly and asked, “Can we skip the part about interviewing my parents?”

Trix was taken aback. She didn’t get it and asked, “Oh? Is it inconvenient?”

Most parents would already consider it quite restrained if they didn’t celebrate with a grand feast. and celebration.

Milly pressed her lips together and said. “It’s inconvenient, indeed.”

Trix was deeply troubled. She asked, “Can we have a phone call interview instead? We have to stick to a strict schedule, and if we cut out this part, we’ll have a time gap.”

Currently, all the leaders are paying close attention to this matter. They even allocated a special segment during the prime–time news broadcast to air the interview video, which shows just how important this was to them.

The segment featuring the parents interview was quite lengthy. If it gets canceled, there will be a significant gap that can’t be easily filled with other interview questions at the last minute.
