With his son's safety weighing heavily on his mind, Salvador knew he had to address the accusations head-on.Stepping up to the podium, Salvador faced the sea of flashing cameras and eager journalists. "Ladies and gentlemen," he began, his voice steady but determined, "I want to address the recent allegations against me."A reporter raised their hand, eager to ask the first question. "Mr. Maroon, can you tell us why you've decided to step down from your position at the company?" they inquired.Salvador took a deep breath before responding.

The public is rallying behind Salvador, they believe he's innocent," Leah exclaimed, her voice tinged with anxiety.Kelvin leaned back in his chair, a smirk playing at the corners of his lips. "Don't worry, Leah. We can use this to our advantage," he reassured her, his tone filled with confidence.Leah looked at him skeptically. "How do you mean?" she asked, uncertainty creeping into her voice.Kelvin's smirk widened as he leaned forward, his eyes gleaming with mischief. "It's simple," he replied.

His father, Mr. Maroon, watched with a furrowed brow, clearly displeased with Kelvin's outspokenness, but Kelvin seemed undeterred."You all saw what happened," Kelvin began, his tone accusatory. "Salvador's actions have put this company in jeopardy, and we can't afford to wait around for him to clear his name. We need someone who can step up and take charge before it's too late."The board members exchanged uneasy glances, clearly taken aback by Kelvin's bold assertions.

"Hey, Ted," she said softly, taking a seat next to him.Ted glanced up, a faux look of concern crossing his face. "Hey, Flora. What's up?"Flora sighed, feeling the need to unburden herself.

Flora fidgeted with the hem of her sweater, her thoughts swirling with uncertainty.Finally, she mustered the courage to break the silence. "Salvador," she began, her voice hesitant. "I don't want us to break up."Salvador's grip tightened on the steering wheel, his expression unreadable. "Flora, I didn't rescue you from those kidnappers to play the hero," he replied, his voice tinged with seriousness. "I did it because I care about you, and I want to keep you safe."Flora's heart fluttered at Salvador's words, but she couldn't shake the feeling of unease that lingered in the pit of her stomach. "But Salvador, why can't we be together?" she asked, her voice tinged with desperation.Salvador sighed, his eyes focused on the road ahead.

"It's no big deal, Salvador," he said modestly. "You know I'll always have your back, no matter what."As they made their way to Salvador's car, Roxy c
