Chapter 262: Chapter 262: Parent’s Palace

Moore Group, these four words represented the Moore Family.

The corporate renaming and equity changes.

It meant that the Moores were no longer the biggest shareholders of the Moore Group.

In Capital City, if the Moores lost control of the Moore Group, it suggested the family was falling from grace.

The objections raised by Mason Moore and others made Julia Land want to laugh.

She indeed laughed aloud, "You all need to learn to accept reality. If you disagree, keep it to yourselves."

Logan Moore closed his eyes and then, opening them, stood up and was the first to leave the conference room.

Mason Moore and the others left, suppressing their frustration.

Julia Land once again became the chairwoman of the Moore Group and returned to the Moore Group with absolute final decision-making power.

The press conference started that day.

Julia Land stood at the podium, bowed, and then straightened her back.

"During this time, the Moore Group has created a poor impression," her voice clear and strong, reverberated throughout the hall, "and I apologize deeply for this. Today, I hope to use this press conference to showcase the future development plans and determination of the Moore Group."

Reporters below raised their cameras, and the flash kept flashing.

"Regarding the recent events, the Moore Group will make an announcement on the official website later," Julia continued, "Also, there is another important matter, the Moore Group will soon be renamed Dale Group."

Dale, my dear daughter, mommy hopes you can come back.

Inkwell City, it’s night now.

While in Capital City, it’s daytime.

The two were living in different times of the day and night.

In the quiet room, James Thompson sat alone on the sofa.

His silhouette elongated by the dim light.

His deep eyes focused intently on Julia Land speaking on the TV.

On the screen, Julia Land spoke eloquently.

Her voice reached James’s ears, the voice of his dear Julia.

It felt like a long time since he had heard her voice.

James’s gaze was fixed on every movement of Julia Land.

The TV screen gradually shifted to other news, and Julia Land’s figure started to fade.

James finally reached for the remote control and turned off the TV.

He leaned back on the sofa, crossed his arms over his chest, and took a deep breath.

"Congratulations, dear Julia."

His deep voice echoed in the quiet room, filled with tenderness and longing.

The room fell silent.

James stood up and walked to the window, looking outside.

Julia Land had today regained control of the Moore Group.

And the news that the Moore Group was about to be renamed Dale Group quickly spread among the major families.

At that moment, at the Langston Family,

Seraphina Langston, who was gleefully cursing Julia’s misfortune at home, was stunned when she heard the news.

Previously, Seraphina had ridiculed Dale Land and Julia at the fruit orchard in South Water.

As a result, her father was summoned by James for a "chat," her credit cards were stopped, and she was humiliated by her father in front of everyone, which was extremely distressing.

She was happy for days when she heard something bad happened at Julia’s wedding.

What was happening now?

Seraphina looked at the message from a friend and fell silent.

Wasn’t Julia supposed to be living her days in distress?

Meanwhile, at the hospital.

Connor Bell was still in the hospital accompanying Madame Bell, who was undergoing a routine check-up.

His phone vibrated, a message from Maxwell Bell.

Upon seeing the message, Connor learned that his daughter had silently retaken control of the Moore Group.

His feelings were mixed; he wanted to send his daughter a congratulatory message.

But thinking of her resolute eyes when she severed ties with the Bell Family reminded him to sigh.

"Honey, what’s wrong?" Madame Bell, after finishing her check-up, saw Connor sighing and asked with concern.

Connor came back to his senses and smiled slightly with pride, "Julia has regained control of the Moore Group and is planning to rename the group to Dale Group."

Madame Bell paused for a moment, "Could this lead to gossip?"

"It’s fine, the business world is like a battlefield; I’ll go ask the doctor about your test results first," Connor said.

Madame Bell nodded, "You go listen to it; I need to return a call to my mother."

Regardless, what the doctor would say was almost always the same.

Connor walked into the doctor’s office on his own.

"Mr. Bell, Madame Bell’s kidney functions are normal but there is proteinuria and slight hematuria," the doctor showed the test results to Connor.

He pointed to a value, "The diagnosis is Stage I chronic kidney disease, but it’s possible for the kidneys to recover with proper treatment."

Connor listened carefully as the doctor explained Madame Bell’s condition, his brow furrowed, worried.

Meanwhile, Madame Bell was on the phone with Madame Guan.

"Mom, take care of yourself; I’ll come to visit you in Sea Pearl City in a couple of days," Madame Bell instructed.

Madame Guan chuckled, "It’s just a minor issue, but when you come, remember to bring Julia and her family."

Hearing this, Madame Bell felt a twinge of guilt.

On the day Julia and James had their wedding, Madame Guan was still in the hospital with gastritis, so the Bell’s eldest brother and sister-in-law attended the wedding.

They had kept the wedding incident temporarily hidden from Madame Guan.

Even the fact that Julia had severed ties with them hadn’t been disclosed to her family.

"Mom, J...," Madame Bell hesitated, considering Madame Guan’s current health, she didn’t reveal the truth but said instead, "They are very busy."

Madame Guan sighed, "It’s good for young people to be busy; I will visit Capital City again after I get discharged."

"No, mom, don’t trouble yourself, we’ll come to see you in Sea Pearl City," Madame Bell didn’t dare let Madame Guan come to Capital City, fearing the old lady would end up in the hospital directly from their visit last time.

A flicker of complexity passed through Madame Bell’s eyes; she would try to reach out to Julia again.

When Connor left the doctor’s consultation room, Madame Bell had just hung up the phone.

He walked over and sat beside her, conveying what the doctor had just said.

Madame Bell was shocked, "How could this be? Except for heart issues, my health checks have always been normal each year."

"Lyra, don’t worry too much. The doctor said as long as you follow the treatment, your kidney function might recover," Connor reassured her calmly.

Madame Bell could barely muster a smile, "I hope so."

For some reason, Madame Bell suddenly thought of the words of the fortune-teller Mrs. Liu.

Even though she now knew Mrs. Liu’s intentions weren’t pure, she couldn’t help but remember the outcome Mrs. Liu had predicted.

Mrs. Liu had said that the palace of Julia’s parents wasn’t favorable.

The palace represented the fate with parents and their health.

At the time, Mrs. Liu also mentioned that they should pay extra attention to their health, especially regarding potential minor issues.

Madame Bell tensed slightly at the thought and decided to seek other fortune-tellers.

Ever since her daughter returned, she had been feeling uneasy.
